Title 24 energy reports are one of the most confusing parts of residential projects for designers. This course bridges the gap between architectural drawings and energy compliance by teaching you how to practically read, understand, and apply T-24 reports to real single-family projects.
Instead of focusing on complicated calculations or energy modeling software, this course is designed from the architect’s perspective. Through real-world examples, field mistakes, coordination stories, and simplified explanations, you will learn how to quickly navigate Title 24 reports and identify the information that directly impacts your drawings, details, schedules, permitting, and construction coordination.
Throughout the course, we will explore topics such as:
- How to quickly navigate and skim a Title 24 report
- Understanding special features tables and field verification requirements
- Glazing, SHGC, U-factor, and orientation strategies
- Continuous insulation coordination and detailing conflicts
- Roof, wall, slab, and envelope-related compliance requirements
- HVAC, IAQ fans, water heaters, and mechanical coordination
- Common mistakes between Title 24 reports and construction drawings
- Passive design strategies and how energy compliance can improve architectural design
- Real-world coordination examples between architects, energy consultants, contractors, and clients
