NEW - TITLE-24 COOL ROOF REQUIREMENTS
The California Energy Commission's updated Title-24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for residential and non-residential roofing will go into effect on January 1, 2010. The new standards affect new construction, significant repairs of existing roofs, re-roofing, plus additions and alternations of existing buildings and homes. On January 1, 2010, a cool roof will be required for residential buildings. Cool roofs are designed to reduce air conditioner demand, save money, and reduce urban heat island effect. Cool roofs come in a variety of materials and colors. The commission maintains, replacing a conventional roof with a "cool" roof can reduce a buildings heat gain which will help to reduce demands for coolong power.
