What Is Title 24?
Energy-Efficient, Code-Approved Roofing
Title 24 is California’s energy code that requires new construction and major roof renovations to meet strict efficiency standards. We install compliant cool roof systems that reduce heat absorption, lower energy costs, and help keep your building up to code.
Give us a call at Solano, Yolo/Sacramento, or the Bay Area, and contact us today to get started!
How Does Title 24 Affect You?
Know What’s Required Before You Build or Replace
If you’re building or replacing a roof in California, Title 24 may apply. Knowing the requirements helps you stay compliant and avoid delays.
- Builders — All new construction permits must comply with energy efficiency standards.
- Architects — Designs must factor in cool roof requirements based on climate zone.
- Property Owners — Roofing materials must meet reflectivity and insulation benchmarks during reroofs or alterations.
- Roofers — Licensed contractors must install systems that meet code.
Re-Roofing and Alteration Requirements
Key Triggers for Title 24 Compliance
If 50% or more of your roof is being replaced in Climate Zones 10–15, Title 24 cool roof standards apply—unless your project qualifies for specific exemptions.
- Exemptions May Apply If:
- The addition is under 300 sq. ft.
- You have R-38 attic insulation or R-4 above-deck insulation
- Elevated battens or high-profile tile is used
- There’s no attic ductwork or existing duct insulation meets updated standards
