    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Also please bear in mind that the NEW
      2013 standards take effect on July 1, 2014 (they were supposed to
      take effect on January 1, 2014, but this was delayed due to
      software problems so anything you try now is apt to be wrong).<br>
      <br>
      The 2013 ACMs are available here:

      <br>
      There are two manuals, residential and non-residential.<br>
      <br>
      Once you see how it is laid out, you will have questions.  There
      is no single simple table.  You can post your questions to the
      list or send them to me.  I'll try to help.  There is also a
      "hotline" at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:title24@energy.state.ca.us">title24@energy.state.ca.us</a> .  They will also answer
      questions for you.<br>
      <br>
      The "hotline" is very good with knowledgeable people.<br>
