Title 24, California’s Energy Code, is required for nearly all building projects to ensure energy efficiency, cut utility costs, and support the state’s climate goals.

Title 24 applies to:

• New Construction: All new residential or commercial buildings.

• Additions: Adding square footage to existing structures.

• Alterations: Major upgrades to systems like HVAC, lighting, or windows.

• Permitting: Triggered when you apply for a building permit, requiring energy calculations and documentation (e.g., CF1R forms).

Calgreen establishes mandatory requirements for new construction and renovations to enhance sustainability, water efficiency, waste reduction, and indoor air quality. It complements Title 24, aligning with state environmental goals.

• Conserve Resources: Mandates water-efficient fixtures, reducing usage and costs.

• Reduce Waste: Requires waste management during construction, minimizing environmental impact.

• Improve Health: Ensures better indoor air quality, benefiting occupants.

• Support State Goals: Aligns with California’s environmental objectives, promoting long-term sustainability.
