(1) Computers and computer monitors shall meet the requirements set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1605.3, as amended;(2) Faucets shall meet the minimum efficiency standards set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1605.1, as amended;(3) High color rendering index fluorescent lamps shall meet the minimum efficacy requirements contained in title 10 Code of Federal Regulations section 430.32(n)(4) , as in effect on January 3, 2017, as measured in accordance with title 10 Code of Federal Regulations part 430, appendix R to subpart B -"Uniform Test Method for Measuring Average Lamp Efficacy (LE), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of Electric Lamps"-as amended;(4) Portable electric spas shall meet the requirements of the American National Standard for Portable Electric Spa Energy Efficiency (ANSI/APSP/ICC 14-2019);(5) In-line residential ventilating fans shall have a fan motor efficacy of not less than 2.8 cubic feet per minute per watt. All other residential ventilating fans shall have a fan motor efficacy of not less than 1.4 cubic feet per minute per watt for airflows less than ninety cubic feet per minute and not less than 2.8 cubic feet per minute per watt for other airflows when tested in accordance with Home Ventilation Institute Publication 916 "HVI Airflow Test Procedure";(6) Showerheads shall meet the minimum efficiency standards set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1605.1, as amended; (7) Spray sprinkler bodies that are not specifically excluded from the scope of the Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense Specification for Spray Sprinkler Bodies, Version 1.0, shall include an integral pressure regulator and shall meet the water efficiency and performance criteria and other requirements of that specification, as amended;(8) Toilets, water closets, and urinals, other than those designed and marketed exclusively for use at prisons or mental health facilities, shall meet the standards shown in subparagraphs (A) to (D) when tested in accordance with title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 430, appendix T to subpart B -- "Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Water Consumption of Water Closets and Urinals" -- and toilets shall pass the waste extraction test for water closets (Section 7.9) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers A112.19.2/CSA B45.1-2018: (A) Wall-mounted urinals, except for trough-type urinals and urinals designed and marketed exclusively for use in prisons and mental health care facilities, shall have a maximum flush volume of 0.5 gallon per flush;(B) Floor-mounted urinals, except for trough-type urinals and urinals designed and marketed exclusively for use in prisons and mental health care facilities, shall have a maximum flush volume of 0.5 gallon per flush;(C) Toilets, except for dual-flush tank-type toilets and toilets designed and marketed exclusively for use in prisons and mental health care facilities, shall have a maximum flush volume of 1.28 gallons per flush; and(D) Dual-flush tank-type toilets shall have a maximum dual-flush effective flush volume of 1.28 gallons per flush. As used in this subparagraph, "dual-flush effective flush volume" means the average flush volume of two reduced flushes and one full flush; and(9) Water coolers included in the scope of the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements Product Specification for Water Coolers, Version 2.0, shall have an on mode with no water draw energy consumption less than or equal to the following values as measured in accordance with the test requirements of that program:(A) 0.16 kilowatt-hour per day for cold-only units and cook and cold units. As used in this subparagraph, "cold-only units" means water cooler units that dispense cold water only;(B) 0.87 kilowatt-hour per day for storage-type hot and cold units. As used in this subparagraph: "Hot and cold units" means water coolers that dispense hot and cold water.
"Storage-type" means water cooler units in which thermally conditioned water is stored in a tank in the water cooler and is available instantaneously, including point-of-use, dry storage compartment, and bottled water coolers; and
(C) 0.18 kilowatt-hour per day for on-demand hot and cold units. As used in this subparagraph: "Hot and cold units" means water coolers that dispense both hot and cold water.
"On-demand" means a water cooler unit in which water is heated as it is requested, which typically takes a few minutes to deliver.
