Although not called out in the preceding <br /> sections on municipal measures, the commercial code covers municipal facilities as well. This <br /> Plan takes into account emissions reductions associated with the application of these codes to <br /> estimated new building and renovation construction after the base year 2005 and proposes to <br /> update the codes in 2013-2014 (on the mandated 4-year cycle). This Plan also proposes, at that <br /> time, to consider adopting the BAWSCA water ordinances along with the Green Building Code <br /> update, as they are more streamlined and user-friendly than the existing state ordinance for <br /> both businesses and residents. <br /> Residential and Commercial Rebates and Incentives Programs <br /> Category Measure Description Reductions <br /> (MTCOze) <br /> EC4 Residential Provide or encourage residential energy audits and <br /> Energy Efficiency retrofits, promote existing Federal, State, and utility <br /> 8.Energy Programs(Energy rebates and incentive programs, and participate in 3,313 <br /> Upgrade California) additional programs as they become available. <br /> EC5 Commercial Promote and assist with marketing and outreach for <br /> Energy Efficiency PG&E energy efficiency and demand response <br /> 9.Energy and Demand programs for the nonresidential sector.
