City of Piedmont's Local Ordinance 786 N.S.

The City of Piedmont has issued a special notice regarding Local Ordinance 786 N.S., which establishes energy efficiency standards for existing single-family residential buildings. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(h)(2) and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, the City has applied to the California Energy Commission for a determination that this local ordinance requires buildings to be designed to consume no more energy than permitted by the 2025 Building Energy Code. This regulatory action aims to implement more stringent energy efficiency measures within the community to ensure compliance with state-level energy standards.
