Title 24 Local Energy Ordinances: Stay Compliant with City-Specific Codes

Call (626) 365-1518 | Alternative Energy Systems

When it comes to Title 24 Local Energy Ordinances, one size does not fit all. Many California cities and counties have adopted local amendments to the state energy code that go beyond standard Title 24 Part 6 requirements. At Alternative Energy Systems (AES), we specialize in city-specific Title 24 compliance reports that meet both state law and local energy ordinances—so your project doesn’t get delayed or denied.

Local energy ordinances may require higher insulation values, electrification readiness, solar readiness, energy storage systems, or additional ventilation and lighting measures. Our team has decades of experience modeling projects under both state and local codes. We know what your jurisdiction requires and deliver a report that’s designed to pass plan check the first time.
