Summary

Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to establish a regulatory proceeding to develop and implement a comprehensive program to achieve greater energy savings in California's existing residential and nonresidential building stock, and authorizes the commission to include in the program a broad range of energy assessments, building benchmarking, energy rating, cost-effective energy efficiency improvements, public and private sector energy efficiency financing options, public outreach and education efforts, and green workforce training. Existing law requires the commission to periodically update the program criteria and adopt any revision that, in its judgment, is necessary to improve or refine program requirements after receiving public input and, at least once every 3 years, to adopt an update to the program in furtherance of achieving a cumulative doubling of statewide energy efficiency savings in electricity and natural gas final end uses of retail customers by January 1, 2030. This bill would require the commission to adopt an update to the program at least once every 5 years instead of every 3 years.
