Energy Efficiency Programs and Legislation
Installing radiant barrier in new homes makes good sense regardless of where you live; it decreases the amount of energy needed to heat and cool a home, saving homeowners money while contributing to a healthy environment.
If you’re building a new home in California, LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier is one the most cost-effective ways to help you meet the energy requirements of the residential building code.
In order to help reduce energy use in California, radiant barriers are recommended by the California Energy Commission to comply with Title 24, a California law that outlines energy efficiency building standards. Radiant barriers are required in newly constructed homes in ten of the 16 climate zones in California. Be sure to find out if the requirement applies to you before building.
