Best Environmental Consultant Murrieta Near Me

4worldlovers: Having over 12 years of experience working with the building energy efficiency code, energy savings and Title 24 compliance documentation we will help you to find a cost effective solution that meets your goal and the building energy standards. We utilize CEC approved energy modeling software for Title 24 compliance calculations and documentation. Your project will get registered with HERS rater provider and we will address the county and city planing department review comments related to Title 24 compliance so you don’t have to worry about it.

The EDR is a rating system for a building’s energy efficiency. It’s an index from 0 (representing no energy use) to 100 (representing a home built to the standards of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) of 2006). When determining the EDR, we use compliance software that has been approved by the California Energy Commission.


Unlike the previous EDR for new construction, the Source Energy Design Rating (EDRs) is a brand-new metric. This second metric called the Source Energy Design Rating (EDRs) is added to aid in the decarbonization and electrification of California’s buildings. It is based on hourly source energy and establishes a carbon-proxy study of the building in kilowatt hours per square meter per year (kBTU/sf-yr).

Energy used by a building at different times of day is referred to as Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) Energy. This includes the energy needed to heat and cool the building, as well as power certain appliances and lights. TDV energy takes into account all forms of energy expended during the construction process, as well as the energy necessary to generate and transport electricity to the site.

Projects using the performance approach will be required to comply with three metrics:

Projects using the performance approach will only be required to comply with the TDV budget

PV System is now required to comply with Title 24 requirement for all single family and multifamily buildings.

Use of Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) is now standard for New Construction. Domestic water heating system must be a single 240V heat pump water heater with a storage tank in the garage or conditioned space. Some climate zones may require compact hot water distribution system and/or drain water heat recovery system to comply with prescriptive requirements.

2×6 @ 16″ OC framing – R21 cavity insulation AND R-5 continuous (in most Climate Zones).

2×4 @ 16″ OC framing – R15 cavity insulation AND R-8 continuous (in most Climate Zones).

There are several options that allow extensions of existing wood framed walls to retain the same dimensions

This applies to New Construction as well as Additions > 700 sq.ft.

The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards, often known as Title 24, are revised roughly every three years. The 2022 Title 24 Standards will continue to improve upon the 2019 Title 24 Standards for new residential and nonresidential building construction, expansions, and renovations.
