In San <br /> Joaquin County, based upon the most recent information available, electricity <br /> consumption in 2019 totaled approximately 5,583 million kilowatt-hours, of which <br /> approximately 1,893 million kilowatt-hours were consumed by residential uses and the <br /> remainder by non-residential uses (CEC 2021a). In 2019, natural gas consumption in San <br /> Joaquin County totaled approximately 259 million therms, of which approximately 89 <br /> million therms were consumed by residential uses and the remainder by non-residential <br /> uses (CEC 2021b). Motor vehicle trips also account for substantial energy usage. The <br /> SJCOG estimated countywide daily vehicle miles traveled (VMT) was 17,868,785 miles <br /> in 2015, which led to the consumption of approximately 511 million gallons of gasoline <br /> and diesel fuel (SJCOG 2018a). <br /> California has implemented numerous energy efficiency and conservation programs that <br /> have resulted in substantial energy savings. The State has adopted comprehensive energy <br /> efficiency standards as part of its Building Standards Code, California Code of <br /> Regulations, Title 24. Part 6 of Title 24, known as the California Energy Code, contains <br /> energy conservation standards applicable to all residential and non-residential buildings <br /> throughout California, including schools and community colleges. These standards are <br /> occasionally updated. <br /> Also, in 2009, the California Building Standards Commission adopted a voluntary Green <br /> Building Standards Code (CALGreen), which became mandatory effective January 1, <br /> 2011. CALGreen sets forth mandatory energy efficiency measures for nonresidential <br /> structures, which essentially require compliance with the latest building energy efficiency <br /> Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-27 May 2022 <br />
