  3. Discussion and possible action regarding the proposed 2005 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for residential and noncommercial buildings (California Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6). The possible action will be to make a recommendation of response to the full Code Advisory Committee for their further consideration.
