Yes, we only use the latest version of EnergyPro, the leading California State Approved compliance software for Title 24 calculations

Yes, all our residential Title 24 reports are registered with CHEERS, the leading California State approved HERS provider, are watermarked and ready to be submitted.

Yes, for almost all Title 24 compliance projects we use the performance approach to ensure maximum flexibility and cost advantage to the client. Only if it might be cheaper for the client to pass with prescriptive specifications, would we use the prescriptive approach.

We are an online service serving all of California with personalized service and quick turnaround time. We engage with you over email and send the final Title 24 report to you over email.

We provide the Title 24 report for Single Family Residences, Multi-family Residences and Non Residential Projects. We also take up high rise (more than 3 floors excluding basement) and hotel/motel occupancy type projects on a custom quote basis.
In all of the above occupancy types we take up all sorts of project scopes including New Constructions, Additions, Alterations, HVAC changeouts, Lighting Alterations, etc.

• We require the the Architectural plans- Floor plan, Window and Door Schedule, Ceiling height, preferably also the Elevations and Sections
• We also require Information on HVAC (Type of HVAC, Gas or Electric), Duct Location (Attic or Conditioned Space or Crawl Space or Garage or Outside) and Water Heater (Water Heater Type, Gas or Electric)
• For Non-Residential projects we additionally require the concerned MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) sheets.
• Besides the above project specific details, we also need to have information of the responsible person who would be signing off on the Title 24 report. We would be signing off as the Documentation Author but the Responsible Person needs to be either the Architect, Designer, Building, Contractor or Homeowner-Builder. We need their Full Name, Company name (if applicable), Address, Email and Phone.
• You can initiate the Title 24 Order via our website by clicking on the  “Order Title 24” button. It will direct you to a form where you can fill in the important details mentioned above and upload the project plans as PDFs.
• Alternatively, you can also send us an email with the details and plan PDFs at viranchi@gettitle24.com and we can get started from there 
• Please feel free to email us at viranchi@gettitle24.com or call us at 714-888-4736 in case of any other questions or concerns.

• Once you submit the details via our Order Title 24 form, you will immediately receive an email from viranchi@gettitle24.com confirming receipt.
• We will start working on the Title 24 compliance calculations for your building design asap and drop you an email from projects@gettitle24.com.
• The Title 24 compliance calculations could take a day or two for most Residential projects. On larger and more complex projects it could take longer.
• During compliance calculations, we create a detailed computer model and run multiple simulations on your building design. This is required since almost all projects don’t comply as is and require some or the other upgrades to comply. The energy code allows for tradeoffs between the different parts of the building design and hence running multiple simulations with each of the possible upgrade combinations is important to come up with the most cost effective and practical set of upgrades that work for your project.
• Once we are done with the calculations, we will send over a set of draft specifications to you. Those would be an optimal set of building specifications/upgrades that your project requires in order to comply with the Title 24 Energy Code, per our Title 24 calculations. These specs would include the insulation values, window performance ratings, HVAC and Water Heater efficiency requirements, additional HERS measures, etc. It would essentially be a readable  summary of your Title 24 report and give you an idea of what building specifications you would need to meet during construction in order to comply with the Title 24 energy standards.
• On receiving the draft specifications, it is important that you review them and let us know if you would like us to make any changes, corrections or retry compliance using alternate upgrades. As mentioned above, the code allows us to make tradeoffs between the different components of the building design. Hence we can work along with you to adjust the draft specifications per your preference, within the constraints of the energy code. Hence your review, comments and final go ahead is very important to move to the next step.
• Once the draft specifications look alright, please give us a go ahead so we can move to the final step which is generating and registering the final Title 24 report.
• Once we receive your go ahead on the draft specifications, we proceed with the registration of the report. During this step, we sign off as the Documentation Author on the report. We are also CABEC Certified Energy Analysts which further adds weightage to the report. Besides our sign off, we also require the digital sign off of the responsible person (which can be the Architect, Designer, Builder or Homeowner-Builder). For the sign off, an email is sent to the email id of the responsible person from cheers.org. The responsible person simply needs to press the sign button in the email to complete the sign off.
• Once the report is signed off, we compile the reports onto 8x11 as well as Plan Size PDFs (24x36 or 30x42) and send them to your email. These Title 24 report PDFs are registered, water marked and all ready to be submitted to the city. Please add them to your plans and update the sheet index before submitting to the city
• After you receive and submit the report, we are always available for any assistance and take up any revisions or corrections throughout the project cycle. Your long term comfort and satisfaction is our utmost priority! The payment for our Title 24 service is to be made online (via any Card or PayPal) at the time of placing the order for the Title 24 report or within 2-3 days of starting with the Title 24 calculations.

Please read the question above that explains in depth the entire process involved in generating a Title 24 report. Per the same, the timeline of the entire process depends on a number of factors - the size and complexity of the project, how difficult the project is to comply, how long it takes you to approve the draft building specifications and also how long it takes you to sign off on the Title 24 report. We try to streamline all of the above processes and speed things up as much as possible. However, for most residential projects, it typically takes us about 2-3 working days to get through the entire process.

Yes, we provide multiple options to achieve compliance and work with you to narrow down on the most cost effective and practical set of upgrades.

Unless already paid online at the time of placing the order (which is an optimal option to speed things up), we send an online payment request to you when we start working on the Title 24 calculations. We appreciate you completing the payment via card or PayPal within the next 2-3 days of receiving the request.

If the building department gets back with any comments or has an issue with anything on the Title 24 report, we take it up for correction within 2-3 working days without any additional cost. We respond with response comments and update the Title 24 report as required.

Most cases, any revision to building design concerning the envelope, mechanical or plumbing would also require to be reflected in the Title 24 report. Thus, in such cases we take up the revision at a small revision fee within 2-3 working days of you sharing the updated details with us. The revision fee ranges from $50 onwards for most revisions.

The Title 24 report requires the sign off of the documentation author (which would be us as the Title 24 consultant) and also the sign off of the responsible person (can be the designer, architect, contractor or homeowner-builder). The responsible person cannot be us and needs to instead be one of the above. You can please let us know who it would be from the above and their details at the time of filling the Title 24 Order form.

Yes, we provide the Title 24 report PDF in Plan Size (24x36 or 30x42) and 8.5x11 size at no additional cost.

Yes, we provide the Title 24 report PDF in 24x36 and 8.5x11 size at no additional cost. Additionally, we can also provide the 24x36 CAD file, Tiff files as requested.

Yes, we always provide the HVAC load calculations as part of our Title 24 report PDF without any additional cost. These include the sizing of the HVAC.

No, we do not do HERS testing but we can refer you to the concerned person in your area. You can also look up HERS testers in your area using the Find a Pro tool on Cheers.org.

There are typically 3 types of compliance forms required for Residential projects, basis the scope of the project.

• The CF1R (Certificate of Compliance) is what is required at the time of permit application. This is the certificate that we provide. It certifies that the building design complies with the Title 24 standards.
• The CF2R (Certificate of Installation) and CF3R (Certificate of HERS Verification) are both typically required after the permit is granted and are to be provided by the builder/contractor and HERS verified respectively.
• For a list of certified HERS rates, please visit the HERS provider website here.
