A one-page energy report handoff for your permit desk

What an energy report is

A Title 24 Part 6 energy report documents how a proposed design addresses the California Energy Code. It is typically submitted with the plan set for plan check. This commercial / nonresidential variant concerns NRCC-family design documentation. Bring the applicable lighting, mechanical and envelope plans and schedules for the proposed scope. The exact family and forms depend on building classification, scope and application date.

Which Title 24 forms apply to a project

Installation certificates, field verification and acceptance testing are separate from the design-stage report.

What a designer commonly provides to plan check

General intake items seen across many departments. This is not any jurisdiction's checklist.

• Energy compliance documents for the proposed scope: NRCC-family (nonresidential), subject to classification and plan-review confirmation
• Plan sheets that match the documents: floor plans, elevations, window and door schedules, and mechanical or lighting information where in scope
• Project address, scope description and applicable code cycle / application date
• Any signatures or registration the local department asks for on its intake list
• Responses to plan check comments, routed back through the designer
