In California, “Title 24” refers to the state’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Part 6 of the California Building Standards Code).
These standards regulate energy efficiency and building performance for new construction, additions, remodels, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). A Title 24 compliance report verifies that your project meets required standards for insulation, HVAC, water heating, lighting, ventilation, windows/doors, and more.
A Title 24 Report is mandatory when you:
The cost of Title 24 calculations can vary depending on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the project, the type of building or space being analyzed, and the specific requirements of the Title 24 Report. Additionally, the cost can vary depending on the energy consultant or Certified Energy Analyst (CEA) you choose to work with.
Generally, Title 24 calculations can cost anywhere from $250 for small residential projects, such as ADUs, single-family homes or a small addition. For larger commercial projects or more complex building types, such as hospitals or laboratories, the cost may be higher.
It’s important to note that the cost of Title 24 calculations may be a worthwhile investment, as improving energy efficiency can lead to significant long-term cost savings on energy bills and can improve the overall value of the building.
A Title 24 Report typically covers:

Compliance with Title 24 isn’t just about meeting code — it’s an investment in long-term comfort, energy savings, and home value. A properly built, energy-efficient home uses less electricity and gas, runs more quietly and comfortably, and meets the high standards expected in Los Angeles. It also avoids permit delays and ensures smoother final inspections with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).
At X Buildup, we integrate Title 24 compliance seamlessly into every project — from new homes and ADUs to remodels and additions. Our process includes:
Energy modeling and Title 24 calculations using compliant software
Detailed documentation for permit submission
Coordination with certified HERS raters when required
Full compliance with 2022 (or applicable code year) standards — including insulation, HVAC, lighting, envelope, and renewable energy when required
We handle the technical work so you don’t have to. That means fewer headaches, faster approvals, and a home built right for California’s standards.
Don’t wait until the last minute. Title 24 compliance works best when addressed during early design or planning — before permits are submitted. Early planning allows for better window, insulation, HVAC, and solar design choices that meet code without compromising aesthetics or budget. It also reduces risk of delays or redesigns at plan check.
Ready to submit plans? Need help getting energy compliance for your ADU or remodel? Contact our team to request a full Title 24 compliance package — including energy modeling, documentation, and permit-ready reports. We’re here to make your Los Angeles project code-compliant, efficient, and built to last.
.
We start by reviewing your plans, project type, and building specifications. Our team analyzes insulation, windows, HVAC, lighting, and structural details to determine the exact Title 24 requirements for your Los Angeles project.
Using state-approved software, we generate accurate energy calculations and create a full Title 24 compliance package. This includes all required forms, efficiency measures, and performance modeling needed for LADBS permit submission.
Once complete, we send you a stamped, permit-ready Title 24 report that meets California Energy Code standards. If the city requests revisions, our team handles updates quickly to keep your project moving without delays.
