• Mandatory Measures Summary [PDF*, 100KB]

  The California Energy Commission has developed the 2013 Low-Rise Residential Mandatory Measures Summary (Mandatory Measures Summary). The Mandatory Measures Summary is a tool designed to help quickly identify the mandatory measures at the design phase of low-rise residential projects. This tool is not a compliance document and therefore is not required to be registered with an approved HERS provider data registry. Designers may incorporate this document onto building plans to specify the mandatory measures.
