CALGreen – The practice’s that guarantee healthy air quality at the conclusion of construction and to offer a testing option to building flush-out. It outlines test procedures, permitted pollution levels, and requirements for repeat testing. Testing can be more expensive than building flush-out, but it should be noted that due to CALGreen’s requirements for low VOC-emitting materials, pollutant levels from finishes may be low.
CALGreen – In order to protect occupants’ health following occupancy, this is intended to encourage practises that guarantee healthy air quality at the conclusion of construction, after all finishes are installed. It describes how to remove pollutants from construction materials and activities from the air.
CALGreen – These measures promote the use of alternative energy sources, mined aggregate replacement, and a substitute for potable water in the production of concrete as part of a broader strategy for resource efficiency.
These steps are taken to lower the volatile organic compounds (VOC) in finish materials that are frequently used on a project, which will assist the
CALGreen – These regulation aims to promote the use of ultra-low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins or no-added formaldehyde (NAF) based resins for items installed in a project.
CALGreen – These precautions are meant to lower occupant exposure to potentially dangerous fumes or chemicals in certain spaces or rooms, such as garages, cleaning or laundry rooms, and printing rooms. Additionally, it prevents dangerous effects from spreading to nearby locations.
CALGreen – These procedures are meant to lessen the number of pollutants that people’s shoes or wet clothing bring into a building at points of entrance. This maintains higher level air quality for building occupants by keeping the air and finish surfaces free of contaminants.
CALGreen – These are meant to give building occupants some degree of control over the lighting and thermal comfort in their workstations, including multi-occupant spaces. Although there is little evidence to back up assertions that workers who have control over lighting and thermal comfort are more productive or more likely to show up to work, the objective is to raise workplace satisfaction.
CALGreen – To limit the use of refrigerants that harm the ozone layer and cause the greenhouse effect. The EPA is phasing out the use of these refrigerants gradually, but voluntary adoption of these regulations can fasten the process and safeguard our planet.
CALGreen – The intent of this measure is to salvage over 65% of all non-hazardous, new construction or demolition waste. The purpose is to reduce the amount of construction waste from new construction and demolition. This would encourage material resource efficiency through reuse and recycling of construction waste products
California, a renowned leader in environmental protection, has implemented CALGreen, a comprehensive green building code that sets mandatory standards for sustainable construction.
California is a state known for its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. One of the ways it achieves this is through the implementation of Title 24, a set of building energy efficiency standards.
California has long been a leader in environmental protection, and its commitment to sustainability is evident through its progressive building code: Title 24.
CALGreen Code Section A5.405.5: Cement and concrete.
Use cement and concrete made with recycled products and complying with the following sections:
CALGreen Code Section A5.405.5.1: Cement.
Several measures have been included in the CALGreen code to encourage the use of Clean Air Vehicles. Allocation of parking spaces reserved for such vehicles is one of them. This is a mandatory measure for all new construction and addition/alteration projects that are adding parking spaces.
Energy efficiency has never been more critical, and California is leading the way in the United States with its innovative energy standards and regulations. Title
The purpose of the measure is to save energy in relation to the transportation of construction materials over long distances to the construction site.
A Title 24 report typically refers to the energy efficiency standards in California, also known as the California Energy Code. The Title 24 report is required for new construction and major renovations of residential and non-residential buildings in California to ensure they meet specific energy efficiency standards.
Title 24 refers to a set of building energy efficiency standards in the state of California, United States. The title is part of the California Code of Regulations and is officially known as the California Building Standards Code, Title 24. The standards were established to promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in new construction and major renovations of residential and non-residential buildings.
A JADU (Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a specific type of accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in California. It is a small, self-contained living unit that is created within an existing single-family home. The main distinction between a JADU and other types of ADUs is that a JADU is created within the existing space of the primary residence, typically by converting a part of the house, such as a bedroom or a portion of the living area.
CALGreen – Moisture control is protecting the building exterior from water intrusion like wind driven rains and other elements. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage.
CALGreen – To reduce the overall use of potable water within the building. Reduction of water use also results in decreasing the amount of energy needed to transport, process and treat water, thereby contributing to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

CALGreen – The commissioning process is the combined set of engineering techniques and procedures to check, inspect, and test every operational component of the project. It is a systematic process for investigating, analyzing, and optimizing the performance of building systems by improving their operation and maintenance to ensure their continued performance. It is included for new projects with area 10,000 sq.ft. and over.
CALGreen – The Commissioning report covers the overall outcome of the Commissioning process for the Project, any history of deficiencies, outstanding issues, seasonal testing, functional performance of systems and verification by the design meeting the OPR, Basis of Design as well as required documentation, training and overall compliance by the contractors. Each of these areas are addressed with a brief summary, analysis and recommendation.
CALGreen – Materials selection affects many other high-performance goals in addition to indoor air quality. Important sources of IAQ contaminants are interior building materials, office furniture, and equipment. Interior building materials – including carpets, carpet padding, paints, sealants, adhesives, floor and ceiling tiles, cabinets, molding, composite wood products, and other wood work – can contain contaminants that are gradually emitted throughout the life of the material. The contaminants include volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCS, respectively), and small particulate substances that act as eye or throat irritants. It is important to select products whose emissions are low and the less hazardous.
CALGreen – Testing and adjusting is the process of evaluating temperature and environmental control systems to ensure they’re heating or cooling according to design specifications and at the equipment’s best level of efficiency. This process involves using test instruments, sensors and monitors to verify proper temperatures, airflow and other characteristics of the HVAC system.
CALGreen – During construction it is adequate to provide ventilation to reduce risks to health from air contaminants or lack of oxygen. It is important that the components of the ventilation system should not themselves present additional risks to those constructing the building.
CALGreen – The Commissioning Plan contains multiple documents, incorporating the list of tasks to be performed, schedule of activities and set targets to meet the goals bounded in the time line. It is a guide used by commissioning teams and project managers to establish the scope and responsibilities to be carried out in order to ensure and verify that the activities are working well.
CALGreen – It documents information needed to understand, operate and maintain the equipment and systems and informs those who are involved as maintenance in-charge of the building.
CALGreen – Functional Performance Testing (FTP) in the construction industry tests air and moisture movement through a building’s enclosure. These tests verify that building components are installed correctly and operate as per design. The result confirms that building enclosure is working correctly to avoid future moisture infiltration problems.
