Title 24 Report: What We’ll Need From You

1. Architectural Plans
   • Provide your latest construction drawings in PDF format. This includes floor plans, elevations, sections, and site plans.
2. Window and Door Schedule
   • Include make, model, sizes, U-factors, and SHGC values (if available). If this info isn’t final, let us know so we can use code minimums.
3. HVAC System Details
   • Furnace, heat pump, or A/C system types, along with efficiency ratings (SEER, AFUE, or HSPF) if available. If unknown, we’ll assume standard equipment.
4. Water Heater Info
   • Tank or tankless, fuel type (gas, electric, heat pump), capacity, and efficiency if known. If not, we’ll model a typical system.
5. Project Address and Jurisdiction
   • We need the physical address of the project so we can apply the correct local code requirements and weather data zone.

We’ll Handle the Technical Work — Just Send the Plans

Don’t worry if you don’t have every item finalized. Our team can use standard assumptions or coordinate with your designer to complete your report quickly. Once you send your plans and basic specs, we’ll generate the CF-1R documentation required for your building permit.

• Send plans as a single PDF file if possible
• We accept email submissions or uploads through our website
• Turnaround time is typically 1–3 business days
• Revisions and support are included

FAQ: Title 24 Report – What We’ll Need From You

1. What documents do I need to submit for a Title 24 report?
   You’ll need architectural plans in PDF format, including floor plans, elevations, and sections.
2. Can I send photos or sketches instead of digital plans?
   No. We require formal architectural plans to perform accurate energy modeling and generate a CF-1R.
3. Do I need to include window and door specifications?
   Yes, including U-factor and SHGC values. If they’re unknown, we’ll model using code minimums.
4. What if I don’t have HVAC or water heater specs yet?
   No problem. We can use standard equipment values and revise the report later when details are finalized.
5. Do you need the exact project address?
   Yes. The address determines your climate zone and local compliance requirements.
6. How should I send my files?
   You can email them or use the upload feature on our contact page at title24energy.com/contact.
7. Do I need to include electrical and lighting plans?
   For commercial buildings, yes. For most residential projects, we can use assumptions unless otherwise noted.
8. Can I get a quote before sending any documents?
   Yes. Call us and we’ll give you a price estimate based on your project’s size and type.
9. What format should my plans be in?
   PDF format is preferred. Please avoid screenshots, scans, or CAD files unless requested.
10. Can I submit partial plans?
    It’s best to send a full set, but we can work with incomplete drawings if the key building systems are included.
11. How long does the report take once I submit plans?
    Most Title 24 reports are completed in 1–3 business days.
12. Do I need to be the homeowner to submit plans?
    No. Contractors, architects, designers, or owners can submit plans for a Title 24 report.
13. What happens if I submit the wrong version of my plans?
    We’ll notify you right away and request the correct version. Revisions are included.
14. Do you keep my project data confidential?
    Absolutely. We treat every set of plans with confidentiality and never share your files without permission.
15. Can you coordinate with my architect or engineer?
    Yes. We frequently work with design teams to ensure the report aligns with the latest plans.
16. What if my building department has specific formatting requirements?
    We’ve worked with every jurisdiction in California. Just let us know your city and we’ll handle the rest.
17. Will you help if the city requires revisions?
    Yes. We offer follow-up support to address comments from plan checkers at no extra cost.
18. Do I need to include solar panel information?
    Only if you have a system in mind. Otherwise, we’ll model your report to meet baseline solar compliance.
19. Can you work with designs that use new building technologies?
    Yes. We stay current with California energy codes and can model advanced systems as long as specs are provided.
