California Title 24 Compliance: A Builder's Complete Guide
California's Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards are among the most comprehensive energy codes in the country. For builders, contractors, and developers, understanding what Title 24 requires is essential to keeping projects on schedule.
What Is Title 24?
Title 24 refers to Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations, which sets minimum energy efficiency standards for all new construction and major renovations in the state.
The Three Documents Every Project Needs
Title 24 compliance runs on paperwork â specifically, a chain of three documents that must be completed in order: CF1R (Compliance Report), CF2R (Installer Certificate), and CF3R (Verification Certificate).
How to Keep Your Project on Schedule
Title 24 inspections are a frequent source of construction delays. To stay on track, hire the HERS rater early, brief your trade contractors, schedule insulation inspections before drywall, and get your CF2Rs filed promptly.
