California Codes & Regulations

WHAT ARE THE BIG ISSUES?
To follow are just a few examples of the major issues related to
codes that BOMA Cal will engage in over the next several years:

• The Division of the State Architect (DSA) will take on the technical process of updating their disabled access regulations in an effort to have California certified by the U.S. Department of Justice;
  
• The California Energy Commission will be re-writing all of their energy regulations which will promulgate new codes and standards. This will have significant impacts upon the commercial real estate industry;
  
• A multitude of state agencies will be implementing Green Building strategies, many of which may be mandated upon the commercial real estate industry;
  
• Every major state agency will be recommending regulations on how California will implement AB 32 - Green House Gas Reduction - requirements;
  
• Indoor Air Quality Regulation;
  
• Implementation of the new California Codes: Building, Electrical, Fire, Plumbing and Mechanical, as well as the triennial cycle of updates.
