					 10-103.3 in Part 1 of Title 24 of
					 the California Code of Regulations, the following amended version of this
					 section will become effective, replacing the version above.
(a) These regulations establish the
				  California Home Energy Rating System (herein referred to as HERS) Program
				  pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
				  25942,
				  including procedures for the training and certification of Raters, and a
				  certification program for home energy rating system organizations (herein
				  referred to as Providers) and for home energy rating services (herein referred
				  to as Rating Systems). The HERS Technical Manual, Publication CEC-400-2008-012,
				  December 2008, which is defined below, shall be incorporated by
				  reference.
(b) The California HERS
				  Program regulations apply to the use of HERS Raters to provide Whole-House Home
				  Energy Ratings of newly constructed and existing homes.
(c) In the course of providing a California
				  Whole-House Home Energy Rating, a home energy audit is performed. The
				  California HERS Program includes the case where the energy audit portion of the
				  rating process is completed but a California Whole-House Home Energy Rating
				  score is not designated. When describing that case, these regulations refer to
				  that portion of the rating process as a California Home Energy Audit.

				  of any property type defined by ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager that has more
				  than 50,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area, and has (1) no Active residential
				  Utility Accounts, or (2) 17 or more Active residential Utility Accounts of each
