City of Santa Ana Addendum to the <br />MainPlace Mall Transformation Project Fashion Square Commercial Center Final EIR <br />interior of the buildings which will reduce air conditioning loads. [Status: <br />Completed/not applicable to this Project] <br />As discussed above, the standards identified and required by 1983 Mitigation Measure <br />5.14-1 are not as stringent as current law. As individual projects are considered by the <br />City of Santa Ana, the buildings would be required to comply with the most current <br />version of Title 24. The energy efficiency standards of Title 24 substantially exceed the <br />air quality and energy conversation levels that would occur under 1983 Mitigation <br />Measure 5.14-1. Therefore, the Project's compliance with Title 24 which would fulfill the <br />requirements of this mitigation measure. Title 24, California Building Standards, <br />contains the energy efficiency standards related to residential and nonresidential <br />buildings. Title 24 standards are based, in part, on a State mandate to reduce <br />California's energy demand. These are prescriptive standards that establish maximum <br />energy consumption levels for the heating and cooling of new buildings. A new <br />development project is required to incorporate the most recent Title 24 standards in <br />effect at the time a building permit application is submitted. The 2016 standards went <br />into effect on January 1, 2017. California's energy efficiency standards are updated on <br />an approximate three-year cycle. <br />157 <br />
