California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen)

The California Green Building Standards Code, commonly known as CALGreen, is a set of regulations aimed at improving the environmental performance of buildings in California. It sets requirements for sustainable construction practices, such as energy efficiency, water conservation, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. CALGreen encourages the use of environmentally friendly materials and methods, promotes indoor air quality, and aims to lessen the overall environmental impact of buildings. These standards apply to new residential and commercial constructions, helping to create healthier spaces while protecting the environment.
