• What is Title 24?• What changes are going into effect?• How will customers be able to meet

requirements?• Prescriptive method• Performance method

• How does Title 24 vary from Energy Star?• How will Simonton meet Title 24 requirements• Coastal Zone variances

Title 24 Agenda

Title 24 is the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Energy Standards for Residential and Non-residential

buildings. For windows, requirements include;

• U-Factor performance minimums• SHGC performance minimums• Air Infiltration maximums• Is 100% independent from Energy Star

What is Title 24?

What is Title 24?

To be approved for building permits in the state of California, projects must meet or exceed Title 24

building code requirements.

• Title 24 is established as a minimum performance threshold

• Jurisdictions can supersede the code/make it more strict

How to meet Title 24 requirements

– Prescriptive Method• Most common• Easiest to determine: .32 U-factor, ≤.30 cfm/sf air

infiltration, and .25 SHGC (Coastal SHGC requirements for Zones 1, 3 and 5 will differ)

– Performance Method• Less common• Several factors involved

All CA homeowners replacing windows will be required to meet Title 24 requirements

following one of two methods:


• Required to follow code exactly, no exceptions

• Same U-factor and air infiltration requirements for all 16 California Energy Zones (Zones 1, 3 and 5 SHGC requirements differ)

• Simple to follow

• Saves time when pulling a permit

• Can be used for both residential new construction and replacement windows

Prescriptive Method

Performance Method Calculation

• The performance of the home as a whole is taken into consideration

• Requires approximately 2 weeks to receive the needed report, can delay permits

• ‘Title 24 Consultants’ utilize software such as “Alternative Calculation Method” to find whether or not the home meets requirements and provide wiggle room for products not meeting the prescriptive method

• Average costs of testing is $200-300
