Kitchen Range Hood Verification requirements

• Home infiltration (blower door) if project utilizes continuous exhaust for attached

dwellings.

• HVAC systems require MERV 13 filter.

• Water heater credit for Drain Water Heat Recovery system.

• Residential Solar

• The new code requires solar photovoltaic systems for new homes.

For new residential homeowners, based on a 30-year mortgage, the Energy Commission estimates that the new code will add about $40 to an average monthly payment, but save consumers $80 on monthly heating, cooling and lighting bills. Nonresidential buildings will use about 30 percent less energy due mainly to lighting upgrades.
