That’s where Alternative Energy Systems (AES) steps in. We deliver fast, affordable, and permit-ready Title 24 reports tailored to your specific glazing configuration.

Title 24 Part 6 outlines mandatory energy standards for fenestration—this includes windows, skylights, sliding doors, and even glass blocks.

  1. Permit Requirement
    • Window and skylight specs must be listed on the CF-1R for permit approval.
  2. Climate-Specific Standards
    • Title 24 window efficiency thresholds vary by zone—AES ensures yours are modeled accurately.
  3. Impacts Heating and Cooling Loads
    • Poor glazing choices can raise energy bills and result in a failed plan check.
  4. Skylights Have Unique Rules
    • Skylights are limited by area and must meet higher efficiency levels than vertical windows.

FAQ: Title 24 Windows Skylights Requirements

  1. What are the Title 24 requirements for windows?
    U-factor and SHGC must meet the minimum standards for your California climate zone.
  2. Are skylights included in Title 24?
    Yes. Skylights must meet more stringent U-factor and SHGC values than vertical glazing.
  3. Can I use any window product?
    Only products tested and certified for energy performance by NFRC or equivalent are accepted.
  4. What is SHGC?
    Solar Heat Gain Coefficient—how much solar radiation the window lets in. Lower SHGC = better cooling performance.
  5. What happens if I exceed the window-to-wall ratio?
    Trade-offs may be required, or you must improve performance elsewhere. AES helps navigate this.
  6. What is the maximum skylight area allowed?
    Generally limited to 5% of conditioned floor area, with exceptions based on performance modeling.
  7. Can I use dual-pane glass?
    Yes. Most Title 24 projects require dual-pane low-e windows or better to meet current standards.
  8. Is HERS verification required?
    Not typically for windows or skylights, unless tied to envelope measures that do require it.
  9. Will AES help me pick compliant glazing?
    Yes. We help identify products that meet code and support your design goals.
  10. Are reports accepted by all cities?
    Yes. AES reports are accepted statewide and meet all Title 24 and city-specific requirements.
  11. Can I substitute windows after the report?
    Yes, but any substitutions must still meet or exceed the original performance specs.
  12. How fast can I get my report?
    Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days. Same-day rush is available upon request.
  13. Can you work directly with my window supplier?
    Yes. We coordinate directly to ensure accurate modeling data and documentation.
  14. Is a Title 24 report needed for window replacement?
    Often yes—especially if replacing more than a certain percentage or altering the envelope.
  15. Are there discounts for contractors?
    Yes. We offer loyalty pricing for contractors, architects, and repeat clients.
  16. What if the city asks for changes?
    We handle revisions free of charge to ensure permit success.
  17. Is the CF-1R required?
    Yes. The CF-1R is the core energy compliance form submitted with your permit.
