CALGREEN is a regulatory requirement set by the California Green Building Standards Code: Part 11 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

CALGreen is the newest California Title 24 code addition and is not a stand-alone document for all new construction, major modernizations, and additions. The purpose is to improve public health, filling the gaps that the multiple codes, from the Energy Code, Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, and others not able to address sustainability. Its function is to stress the newer areas that California is planning or targeting, such as EV Charging Spaces, Construction Site Waste Collection for land fill avoidance, Low VOC Materials, Outdoor Recycled Water Supply Systems and Moisture Control. As a comprehensive approach, it requires the project team to follow through design stages, during construction, and continue after occupancy. Case in point is the “Waste Treatment”.
