California Code of Regulations › Title 4 - Business Regulations › Division 13 - California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority › Article 6 - Commercial Energy Efficiency Financing Program › Section 10092.14 - Eligible Energy Measure List

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following table designates the Eligible Energy Measure
				  (EEM) List for the Program and the corresponding requirements for each measure.
				  In any situation in which the Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations,
				  Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, or any other legal requirement
				  exceeds the requirement specified in the table, the EEM must be installed to
				  meet the legal requirement(s). Where a measure is removed from the EEM list or
				  its requirements are revised, that measure and requirements will continue to be
				  eligible for inclusion in an Eligible Financing Agreement that is submitted to
				  the Program for enrollment within 365 calendar days of the removal or revision
				  of the EEM.
