The California Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) are actively supporting the California Energy Commission (CEC) in developing the state’s building energy efficiency standard (Title 24). Their joint intent is to achieve significant energy savings through the development of reasonable, responsible, and cost-effective code change proposals for the 2011 code update.
Through Codes and Standards Enhancement (CASE) Studies, the C&S Program provides standards and code-setting bodies with the technical and cost-effectiveness information required to make informed judgments on proposed regulations for promising energy efficiency design practices and technologies. As part of the IOU effort, we invite you to fill out this survey and help shape the next cycle of building codes.
The objective of this brief 13-question survey is to seek information regarding design practices, performance, cost and challenges associated with multifamily solar water heating systems. Intended audience for this survey are solar water heating system designers, installers and contractors with experience in systems for multifamily buildings.
