LCA Announces New Course on California Energy Code

The Lighting Controls Association (LCA) now offers EE203: Lighting Controls and Energy Codes: California Title 24, Part 6 as a new course in its popular Education Express program.

Commercial building energy codes regulate the designed energy efficiency of nonresidential buildings to minimize energy consumption. While most U.S. states adopt model codes and standards, California developed its own. Regarding lighting controls, Title 24, Part 6 of the California Building Standards Code contains robust, detailed, mandatory requirements covering a broad range of energy-saving strategies.

Authored by Craig DiLouie, LC, CLCP, education director for the LCA, EE203 describes the lighting control requirements in this progressive energy code with a focus on what’s new over the 2019 version.

This course is registered with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System and recognized by the National Council on Quality in the Lighting Professions. It is also required reading to prepare for International Association of Lighting’s Certified Lighting Controls Professional exam. Finally, it is recognized by the DesignLights Consortium in advancing knowledge of lighting controls technology and application. The LCA is recognized by California as a continuing education provider.
