California has set ambitious goals to make all new residential buildings zero net energy (ZNE) by 2020 and all new and 50% of existing commercial buildings ZNE by 2030. The City of Chula Vista set local goals for energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation and other greenhouse gas reduction strategies in its climate action plan.
