About this Talk

In this information-packed presentation, we'll review lesser-known requirements that are part of California's MWELO and the new regulations enacted as part of SB 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy. We'll review how ReScape Rating can help designers and plan checkers get up to speed. We'll also look at several projects that incorporated water-efficient landscaping and significant amounts of compost and mulch to give you some ideas for how to apply these concepts on your projects.
