Why you need it, when to get it, where we work, and who we work with — answered without the marketing fluff.
Title 24 (Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations) is the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Local building departments — LADBS, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, every jurisdiction in the state — will not issue a building permit for new construction, additions, alterations, or most mechanical/lighting work until a compliant Title 24 energy report is on file. No report, no permit; no permit, no work.
Required for permits on essentially every project that adds conditioned space or significantly modifies HVAC, lighting, or the building envelope.
CEC-approved tools — typically CBECC — model the building against the 2022 standards (2025 standards take effect 1 Jan 2026).
CF1R / CF2R / CF3R certificates are signed by the documentation author and submitted with your permit set.
A Title 24 report is not just a cost line item — it's a schedule dependency. Every day your report sits in someone's queue is a day your permit doesn't move, a day your sub-trades stand by, and a day your client is holding their breath.
A 7-day report + a 2-week plan check correction cycle silently adds three weeks to your permit timeline. The carrying cost on a stalled project is usually higher than the entire energy-consulting line item.
Hourly quotes invite scope creep. A "quick revision" becomes 6 billable hours. Fixed-price means you know your number before we start.
A report prepared without senior QA review is more likely to come back with corrections. Each cycle is days lost — and the consultant who prepared it is usually slow to respond.

Duplex to 100+ units, mixed-use podiums, central DHW vs unit-level heat-pump water heating, performance-path tradeoffs. We model each project against the appropriate prototype rule, then coordinate HERS verification with your rater.
Every LA-area climate zone — Coastal, Downtown, Mid-Valley, Antelope Valley.
CBECC-Res handles low-rise multifamily up to 3 stories. CBECC-Com handles 4+ stories and mixed-use commercial podiums.
2022 Energy Code requires heat-pump space conditioning or heat-pump water heating in most new low-rise multifamily prescriptive paths. Performance path provides tradeoffs.
Mandatory PV sizing per dwelling unit on most new multifamily ≤ 3 stories. Battery storage encouraged via compliance credits — not yet mandatory residentially.
HERS-verified measures vary by dwelling type and ventilation strategy. We coordinate with your rater on whole-building ventilation, duct sealing, and refrigerant charge testing.
Centralized recirculating systems vs unit-level heat-pump water heaters change the compliance math significantly. We model both before recommending.
Ground-floor commercial under residential is a common LA pattern. NRCC-PRF for the commercial podium + CF1R-PRF-01-E for the residential floors above — two reports, one project.

See all service areasTitle 24 refers to Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations — the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards. It sets minimum energy efficiency requirements for new construction and major renovations across residential and commercial buildings. The California Energy Commission (CEC) updates Title 24 every three years; the current cycle is the 2022 standards (effective Jan 1, 2023), transitioning to the 2025 standards on Jan 1, 2026.
A Title 24 energy compliance report is required for: new residential and commercial construction, additions that increase conditioned floor area, alterations to HVAC or lighting systems, window replacements, and re-roofing of existing buildings. Virtually any project that requires a building permit in California will need some form of Title 24 documentation submitted with the permit set.
California is currently under the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, effective January 1, 2023. These standards require solar PV on most new residential buildings, encourage battery storage, expand heat pump requirements, and tighten efficiency levels for building envelopes and mechanical systems. The 2025 standards have been adopted and take effect on January 1, 2026.
Title 24 is enforced by the local building department where your project sits — LADBS in the City of Los Angeles, the LA County Department of Public Works in unincorporated areas, and dedicated building departments in cities like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and Pasadena. The CEC sets the standards; local jurisdictions check that your permit set includes a compliant report.
No. Title 24 Part 6 is the Energy Code; CALGreen is Title 24 Part 11 — the California Green Building Standards Code. They run alongside each other. Most jurisdictions require both, and a complete energy-compliance submittal often includes CALGreen documentation in addition to Title 24 Part 6 forms.
Most residential Title 24 reports are delivered within 24 hours of project intake. Commercial projects typically take 3–5 business days depending on complexity. Same-day rush service is available for residential work submitted before 10 AM PT, capacity permitting. The sooner you provide complete plans and project information, the faster we can deliver.
