If your construction, remodel, or ADU project is moving forward in California, it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest energy regulations. You might be wondering: “Where are the 2022 Title 24 code updates listed?” Understanding the official sources and revisions helps ensure your project remains compliant, avoids costly mistakes, and moves smoothly through permitting.

At Title24Energy.com, we monitor every code revision so you don’t have to. Our team of state-certified energy consultants and HERS raters is ready to guide you through the newest standards—so you can get compliant reports fast and stay on track.

Where to Find the Official 2022 Title 24 Code Updates

The California Energy Commission (CEC) is the official source for all Title 24 code updates. The full 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards are published on the CEC’s website and include major changes in insulation, lighting, HVAC performance, and solar integration. You can access the official documents—such as the Standards themselves, Compliance Manuals, and Reference Appendices—directly from the CEC.

These documents include:

• 2022 Standards (Title 24, Part 6) — full legal code
• Residential and Nonresidential Compliance Manuals — detailed guidance
• Reference Appendices — efficiency data tables
• Standards Adoption Package — official rulemaking summary

For easy navigation, look under “**2022 Standards / 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards**” on the Energy Commission’s Title 24 section.

What’s New in the 2022 Code Update?

The 2022 update, officially effective January 1, 2023, introduced significant changes including:

• Enhanced insulation R‑value requirements for walls and ceilings
• Advanced lighting controls and higher-efficiency lighting standards
• Stricter HVAC duct leakage limits and mandatory fan watt draw testing
• Expanded solar PV requirements for new homes, including system sizing based on modeling outputs
• Pushed integration of smart thermostats and demand-responsive controls for non-residential buildings

These updates are fully documented in the Residential and Nonresidential Compliance Manuals, along with shape‑factors, climate-zone specifics, and prescriptive versus performance pathways.

How to Confirm Your Project Meets the New Standards

If you’re not sure whether your project complies with these updates, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our team at Title24Energy.com analyzes your project plans using CEC-approved software that’s been updated to reflect the 2022 code. We then generate your compliance report—usually within 1 to 3 business days—ensuring it aligns with every update listed in the official manuals.

We also include recommendations or alternatives in case your project doesn’t meet the new code thresholds—so you’re prepared before the city plans check begins.

Why Official Sources Don’t Tell the Whole Story

While the CEC publishes the official code, it’s not always easy to interpret. The documents are often technical and reference heavy. Understanding how they apply to your specific project—especially with local amendments or climate-zone exceptions—requires expertise.

That’s where our consultants come in. We track the relevant changes for residential and nonresidential projects in a way that’s easy to implement. We stay up-to-date on addenda and administrative clarifications that the CEC may issue during the code’s lifecycle—so your energy report reflects the most current interpretation.
