Title 24 Radiant Barrier Reports for California Energy Code Compliance

Call (626) 365-1518 | Alternative Energy Systems

A radiant barrier is a powerful energy-saving feature that can improve comfort, reduce cooling loads, and help your project meet California’s Title 24 energy code requirements. At Alternative Energy Systems (AES), we provide fast, accurate Title 24 Radiant Barrier reports for homes and buildings across all climate zones in California.

Radiant barriers are reflective materials installed under the roof deck to reduce radiant heat gain into the attic. California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards recognize radiant barriers as a compliance strategy in certain climate zones—especially those with hot, sunny weather. Our Title 24 reports ensure your radiant barrier installation is properly modeled, documented, and ready for permit submission.

Why Radiant Barriers Matter for Title 24 Compliance

  1. Boosts Energy Efficiency
    • Reflects radiant heat and lowers attic temperatures, reducing cooling demand.
  2. Required in Some Climate Zones
    • Zones with high heat loads often require radiant barriers unless performance alternatives are modeled.
  3. Compliance Credit
    • Radiant barriers can earn energy modeling credit and improve your project’s compliance score.
  4. Easy to Install, Hard to Model
    • City inspectors require accurate documentation—AES makes sure it’s done right.

FAQ: Title 24 Radiant Barrier Requirements

  1. What is a radiant barrier?
    A reflective material installed in the attic to reduce radiant heat gain and improve cooling efficiency.
  2. Is a radiant barrier required by Title 24?
    In some climate zones, yes—it may be required unless you use alternative performance measures.
  3. How is a radiant barrier modeled?
    It’s entered into EnergyPro or CBECC as part of the attic assembly during energy modeling.
  4. Can I get credit for using a radiant barrier?
    Yes. Radiant barriers can contribute toward overall compliance credit in hot zones.
  5. Do all projects benefit from radiant barriers?
    They’re most beneficial in zones with hot, sunny climates and high cooling demand.
  6. What materials qualify?
    Foil-faced sheathing, radiant barrier spray coatings, and other code-approved reflective materials.
  7. Is HERS verification required?
    Yes. Radiant barrier installations typically require field verification by a certified HERS rater.
  8. What’s included in the AES report?
    CF-1R forms, modeling output, and documentation of radiant barrier performance.
  9. How fast can I get a report?
    1–3 business days standard; same-day service available upon request.
  10. Can AES coordinate with my builder or HVAC designer?
    Absolutely. We work directly with your team for smooth plan check approval.
  11. Are radiant barriers used in commercial buildings?
    Primarily in residential—but some light commercial may include them depending on design goals.
  12. Can I skip the radiant barrier if I have good insulation?
    Sometimes. Performance trade-offs may allow you to substitute—but you’ll need modeling to confirm.
  13. Do I need this for an addition or remodel?
    Yes—if you’re touching the roof deck or attic area, compliance may require it.
  14. Do Title 24 reports differ by climate zone?
    Yes. Radiant barrier requirements are climate zone-specific. AES will model accordingly.
  15. Are contractor discounts available?
    Yes. We offer volume pricing and loyalty discounts for contractors and repeat clients.
