Mr. Lou EI-Khazen, Building Official gave some background information and a brief overview of the
amendments to CVMC section 15.12.030, Cool Roof presented in the staff report. He noted the
ordinance would be presented to City Council on December 13, 2011, and then reviewed by the
California Energy Commission, which would take possibly 2-3 months. A second reading of the
ordinance would probably occur in the early spring.
There was discussion concerning the differentiation between Climate Zones 7 and 10 and the results
of the study. Vice Chair Sides asked for clarification on why not have the same requirements on both
climate zones. Mr. EI-Khazen explained the difference between the two climate zones and the results
of the study show cool roofs not to be cost effective in Climate Zone 7.
After further deliberation, the Board approved of adding section 15.12.030 Cool Roof to Green
Building Standards, Chapter 15.12 and recommended that Council adopt the ordinance as proposed.
MSC (LM/CS) (5-0-0-1) Recommend that City Council adopt the ordinance as proposed.
