Energy savings was a big deal back then. it was the result of the Arab Oil Embargo and the stark realization that we were not in control of our energy destiny (or so we thought at the time). Jerry Brown was the Governor (first time), he pushed through a lot of energy measures, although this one was a Senate (California) Bill.
 
I know that the term "Title 24" is generally accepted as meaning energy code, but Title 24 is actually the entire building standards code. The energy code is Part 6 of 12, although part 7 is not currently used.
