Frequently Asked Questions

  • California’s Title 24 Energy Code sets rigorous standards for energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings. It includes requirements for insulation, HVAC systems, ductwork, lighting, windows, and more, aimed at reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

  • Title 24 compliance is mandatory for all new constructions, additions, significant remodels, and certain system upgrades in California. Compliance documentation must be submitted to local building departments prior to permit approvals and final inspections.

  • When choosing a kitchen range hood, you must select equipment approved by certified directories. Refer to HVI.org and AHAM.org to ensure your selected range hood meets California’s Title 24 ventilation and efficiency requirements.

  • If any construction or equipment specifications change during your project, immediately contact your Energy Consultant to revise your Title 24 documents. Failing to promptly update documentation can result in costly project delays and non-compliance issues.

  • Your HVAC contractor must have a copy of the CF1R energy calculations provided by your Energy Consultant. If any HVAC equipment efficiencies or specifications change, stop immediately and contact your Energy Consultant to ensure your documents reflect the latest information.

  • HERS (Home Energy Rating System) testing involves third-party inspections to verify compliance with California’s energy efficiency standards. It includes duct leakage tests, airflow evaluations, insulation quality (QII), and more. Passing HERS inspections is mandatory before final occupancy approval.
