Riverside County enforces California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) Title 24 Part 11 alongside the county Climate Action Plan, requiring water efficiency, EV-ready wiring, and recycling at construction sites.
All new construction and major remodels in Riverside County comply with CALGreen, the California Green Building Standards Code (Title 24 Part 11), enforced by Building and Safety under Ordinance 526. Mandatory measures include 20 percent indoor water-use reduction, low-VOC interior finishes, construction and demolition waste diversion of at least 65 percent, and EV-ready wiring for new single-family homes and many multifamily projects. The Riverside County Climate Action Plan (CAP) layers additional measures including cool-roof options and solar-ready provisions. Multifamily over three stories follows California Energy Code Title 24 Part 6 plus all-electric ready provisions.
Failing CALGreen checklists during inspection delays final sign-off. Non-compliant materials must be removed; waste-diversion shortfalls block close-out and may forfeit performance deposits.
