Per the three-year mandate, the California Energy Commission (CEC) has proposed the new 2022 update to the state building code. This code, otherwise known as Title 24, creates the minimum energy requirements for new construction on buildings.

The 2022 version of Title 24, Part 6 contains numerous changes to its lighting sections, notably updates for outdoor lighting zones, updates to the nonresidential lighting power allowance tables, changes to demand response, and new requirements for occupancy sensing for office spaces (in addition to clarification for occupancy sensors used with HVAC), along with numerous revisions for clarity and consistency.
