The Statewide Codes and Standards Enhancement (CASE) Team periodically distributes email notifications that promote upcoming meetings, provide materials from past meetings, and update stakeholders on the progression of the California Energy Commission (CEC)’s rulemaking process. You can choose to receive measure-specific and/or general updates on these topics depending on your needs.
Role of the
California Energy Commission
The CEC updates California’s Building Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6 or the Energy Code) on an approximately three-year cycle. The Statewide CASE Team is not formally affiliated with, but supports the CEC throughout the code cycle by ensuring that stakeholders are represented during the CEC’s rulemaking processes. Visit the CEC’s website to view the most recent versions of the Title 24, Part 6 code language.

About the Statewide CASE Team and CASE Reports
The Statewide CASE Team presents recommendations to support the CEC’s efforts to update California’s Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) to include new requirements or to upgrade existing requirements. The Statewide CASE Team is sponsored by the three California investor-owned utilities — Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Southern California Edison — and two Publicly Owned Utilities — Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The Statewide CASE Team is not affiliated with the CEC, though we aim to work collaboratively with the CEC when developing and refining code change proposals. The Statewide CASE Team submits code change proposals to the CEC in the form of CASE Reports. Each code change proposal topic (or, ‘measure’) is evaluated throughout the code cycle by subject matter experts with the goal of identifying cost-effective enhancements to the California Energy Code. CASE Reports incorporate feedback received during utility-sponsored stakeholder meetings, CEC pre-rulemaking workshops, and ongoing communication with stakeholders. The CEC is responsible for evaluating CASE Reports submitted by the Statewide CASE Team and other stakeholders. The CEC may revise or reject code change proposals presented in CASE Reports based on evidence presented and comments received. You can participate in the Title 24, Part 6 Standards update by attending CEC workshops and submitting written comments to the docket.
