Title 24 compliance, handled from design to sign-off
Get the CF1R energy calculations right at design stage — and the same team that models the project field-verifies it later. One relationship from permit set to registered CF3R.
Energy compliance that fits your drawings
The Title 24 energy report — the CF1R — is part of your permit set, and the choices in it ripple straight back into your design: glazing ratios, wall assemblies, HVAC type, and water heating. We run the calculations so they support the design you want, not force a redraw.
What architects get from ERE
- CF1R at design stage. Energy calculations produced early enough to inform the drawings, not after permit rejection.
- Performance vs. prescriptive tradeoffs. When prescriptive limits fight the design, we model the performance method to find the compliance path that keeps your envelope and glazing intact.
- 2025-code fluency. Heat-pump baselines, the new Long-term System Cost metric, and ventilation changes — modeled correctly for permit applications on or after January 1, 2026.
- Spec support. Clear notes on what the contractor must install and certify so the CF2R and field verification go smoothly.
- Plan-check corrections. When a city energy comment lands, we turn the response around fast so your submittal keeps moving.
- One team to verification. The same people who modeled the project perform the HERS / ECC field tests and register the CF3R — no handoff, no finger-pointing.
From permit set to final
Define the compliance approach with the CF1R report, support the build, then close it with HERS / ECC field testing and QII verification. Across LA, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and Ventura County.
