CLTC’s updated Residential Lighting Guide is designed to help builders and lighting industry professionals navigate the residential lighting portion of California’s newest Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6). The new standards take effect July 1, 2014 and include updated requirements for high-efficacy lighting, lighting controls, and LED quality.
The California Lighting Technology Center’s 2013 Residential Lighting Guide for Title 24, Part 6 compliance is designed to help builders and lighting industry professionals navigate the residential lighting portion of California’s newest Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6). The new standards took effect July 1, 2014 and include updated requirements for high-efficacy lighting, lighting controls, and LED quality.
CLTC's Kelly Cunningham will lead this one-day course on the latest Title 24, Part 6 lighting requirements for residential spaces.
8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 6

The class is intended for professionals who design, specify, or inspect lighting installations in new and remodeled homes. It is offered at no cost to California businesses and residents through Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Energy Education Classes. It is worth 5.5 AIA credits.
Effective July 1, 2014, California’s new Title 24, Part 6 standards require that bathrooms in residential homes have at least one high-efficacy luminaire installed in them. (The remaining installed luminaires may be low efficacy and controlled by a vacancy sensor.)
In an effort to accelerate market advancement in this product category, CLTC is collaborating with Pacific Gas and Electric Company and LED manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor to develop a high-efficacy, “best-in-class” LED vanity luminaire for residential bathrooms.
Those who attend this course will gain a firm understanding of the new 2013 standards as they apply to office lighting. The course will also provide an overview of current lighting technologies available to help meet or exceed code requirements in new and remodeled commercial offices.

At its December 11, 2013 Business Meeting, the California Energy Commission revised the effective date for the state's new Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Part 1, Chapter 10 and Part 6), and affected provisions in Part 11 (i.e., the Cal. Green Building Standards Code) from January 1, 2014 to July 1, 2014. Changes to other sections of the code, such as plumbing, electrical, fire, and other standards, are unaffected by this decision.
The California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) will debut new curriculum and solicit suggestions for improvement with this intermediate class for professionals. This course is designed for those who design, specify, or inspect lighting installations in new and remodeled commercial office spaces. The curriculum includes an overview of current lighting technologies, including LED luminaires, and updates on new lighting requirements and sections in the 2013 standards. Participants will also tour CLTC to view technology options that meet, or exceed, code requirements.
The California Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program (CALCTP) is offering a course for lighting controls acceptance test technicians and technician employers on May 7–8 at the SCE Energy Education Center in Irwindale, CA. Those who successfully complete the course will be certified to conduct lighting controls acceptance tests as required by the new 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6) set to take effect July 1.
CALCTP has rescheduled its training and certification course for lighting controls acceptance test technicians in order to accommodate more participants. The course will now take place February 3 – 7 at CLTC. Those who successfully complete the course will be certified to conduct lighting controls acceptance tests as required by the new 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24).
LD+A – CLTC and Berkeley Lab partnered to test the ADR-readiness of commercially available networked lighting control systems. All three systems tested were configured for automated demand response (ADR) communications, and all three successfully accessed the demand response automation server (DRAS) to retrieve DR events.
