This document discusses California's energy and climate legislation, including Title 24 building code requirements to achieve net zero energy use in new residential buildings by 2020 and new non-residential buildings by 2030. It also summarizes the LEED EBOM green building rating system and Assembly Bill 1103, which requires benchmarking and disclosure of energy use data for non-residential buildings during financial transactions. The document provides examples of AB1103 disclosure forms and offers recommendations for improving building energy performance through benchmarking, retrofits, and pursuing financial incentives.

11. Assembly Bill 1103 – What is it?Requires Energy Use Benchmarking and Disclosure for Nonresidential Buildings:Allows prospective buyers and tenants to compare building performance with similar buildingsMotivates owners to improve building’s energy profileCompared with competitionImpact on building valuationA benchmarking system, drawing on Energy Star Portfolio ManagerCalifornia Building Energy Performance Rating

12. AB1103 – What is the trigger?-> Financial transaction for the whole buildingMust disclose benchmarking data and ratings to: Prospective buyer
