x

Energy efficiency assessment

Title 24 Energy Compliance in California

Title 24 Energy Calculations establishes the energy efficiency standard for buildings in the California Code of Regulations. Uppteam assists with precise energy calculations and documentation for commercial and residential projects, prerequisites for Title 24 permit approval. Our energy modeling team produces CEC-compliant Title 24 reports consistent with architectural and MEP design inputs. We leverage an approach that helps AEC teams meet regulatory requirements, reduce review comments, and ensure approvals from California AHJs.

We help you with:

x

Residential Title 24 CF-1R reports

x

CF-1R with mandatory measure compliance

x

T24 floor plan and system coordination

Uppteam’s EnergyPro capability, the only tool approved by the California Energy Commission, enables the generation of error-free official Title 24 compliance reports.

IECC Energy Modeling

IECC energy modeling solutions from Uppteam are positioned to help AEC teams meet jurisdiction-specific energy code requirements. We conduct precise performance analysis, coordinate MEP inputs, and deliver compliance-ready documentation without delaying design and permitting schedules.

Primary components of our IECC energy modeling comprise:

x

Building envelope performance analysis

x

HVAC system performance modeling

x

Interior and exterior lighting power conformity

x

Electrical and plug load calculations

x

Occupancy schedules and operational profiles

x

Energy simulations according to specific climate zones

ASHRAE & LEED Modeling

Uppteam empowers your AEC team with optimal support for ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G-adherent energy modeling. Energy modeling specialists utilize industry-standard tools, such as eQUEST, EnergyPro, Carrier HAP, and Trane TRACE. We also authenticate Baseline vs. Proposed performance to simplify LEED certification and code compliance, reducing your team’s internal load.

    FAQ’s

    Energy estimations help decide a building’s energy necessities and efficiency, including HVAC, lighting, and other power consumption. These measures allow us to create building designs that optimize power use, decrease operational expenses, and enhance sustainability while meeting regulatory benchmarks.
    Title 24 compliance is an energy-conserving standard in California. You must maintain it when working on any construction project in the state, from residential to industrial.
    Title 24 compliance concerns the stringent criteria for energy-efficient design elements in new buildings and remodeling projects, including HVAC systems, lighting, ventilation, and insulation.
    All types of buildings, from multi-home to single-family homes, retail stores, office establishments, hospitality and healthcare facilities, warehouses, and other construction projects, must comply with Title 24 compliance.
    Energy efficiency services help property owners reduce energy usage, leading to lower utility bills and long-term savings. They improve comfort and construction performance, fostering a healthier atmosphere for residents. Additionally, these services support sustainability efforts while optimizing costs.
    For Title 24 compliance, we require detailed construction plans, such as floor plans, HVAC system designs, plumbing system details, lighting fixture designs, elevations, fixture schedules, etc.
    We create an energy model that evaluates insulation, windows, HVAC systems, and lighting. We include energy-efficient features in the design and work with MEP design and architectural and engineering firms to ensure compliance.
    Yes, our team of MEP designers can provide support for residential and commercial buildings.
    We use multiple energy modeling software like EnergyPlus, Autodesk Insight, OpenStudio, DesignBuilder, and more.
    If you share your existing building plans and blueprints, as well as the usage patterns of occupants and equipment inventory, we can conduct energy audits for existing buildings.
