Among the new requirements under CALGreen, every new building in California will have to reduce water consumption by 20 percent, divert 50 percent of construction waste from landfills and install low VOC materials. Separate indoor and outdoor water meters for nonresidential buildings and moisture-sensing irrigation systems for large landscape projects will be required, There will be mandatory inspections of energy systems, such as furnaces and air conditioners for nonresidential buildings over 10,000 square feet. According to the California Air Resources Board, the mandatory provisions will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3,000,000 metric tons by 2020.

Mandatort' Voluntary Unknown California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) proposals were supported by two organizations that have programs similar to the USGBC's, California Green Builder and Green Building Initiative/Global Green. However, theme were several organizations that expressed concerns that CBSC did not agree with. It's worth noting that CBSC did have a lot of support for their positions. For example, they stated that the code does not have a verification system, but in fact th,e code will be subjected to the long-standing, successful enforcement infrastructure that the suite has established to enforce its health, safety, fire, energy, and structural building codes. The existing enforcement practices will make verification of the Green Code for local building inspectors a simple transition. On the inferiority issue, the state has not worked on a comparison. and these organizations did not provide information to substantiate their claims. However, the building industry did state that the residential provisions are at least equal to existing programs. Lastly, many stakeholders have stated that the code will provide clarity to the marketplace and not confusion.
