No other states have officially elected this standard; however, some non-CA projects choose to meet Title 24 requirements for design purposes, knowing that it is the toughest standard available.
Similar to the ASHRAE standard, there is more than one way to be compliant with Title 24 lighting requirements. The code allows for three methods of calculation for compliance with the code when it comes to lighting energy use: The Complete Building method, the Area Category method, and the Tailored method.
Regardless of which calculation method you choose to use, power allowance tables are not the final word: extra power allowances are made for integration of daylight and controls. In addition, Title 24 now requires advanced dimming controls, occupancy and daylight sensors in nearly every application.
