Code Compliance Improvement Working Group

CEA’s Code Compliance Improvement Working Group collaborates closely with building departments, contractors, manufacturers, and others working across California in the building trades.

In 2020, the Working Group engaged with the California Energy Commission in cooperative efforts to develop a new Central Nonresidential Data Repository (CNDR) for energy compliance forms and information in support of improved compliance and enforcement of California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards. The Alliance collaborated with those whose expertise as the Lighting Controls Acceptance Test Technician Certification Providers, both National Lighting Contractors Association of America (NLCAA) and California Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program  (CALCTP), were invaluable in providing insight to the Energy Commission regarding the use of acceptance test registries for lighting control compliance.

CEA’s Code Compliance Improvement Working Group will continue to monitor the CNDR issue, provide updates, and assist in the creation of a well-designed, comprehensive solution that promotes greater compliance with existing codes. The Working Group will also undertake newly identified opportunities to achieve CEA’s strategic goals toward greater energy code adherence and enforcement mechanisms.
