The new regulations prescribe <br />energy conservation standards for all new non-residential buildings in <br />California and represent the state-of-the-art for most energy <br />conservation measures related to building design and equipment <br />selection. Specifically, the regulations specify energy -saving designs <br />for roof, wall and floor installations, and also contain lighting, <br />heating and air conditioning, and hot water supply specification <br />standards.
