Yes. Accessory Dwelling Units — whether detached, attached, or garage conversions — require a Title 24 energy compliance report in California as part of the building permit process. This applies to new ADU construction as well as garage-to-ADU conversions that involve changes to the building envelope, insulation, or HVAC.
What type of report does an ADU need?
The report type for ADUs is a CF1R (Certificate of Compliance for Residential buildings). ADU projects follow Title 24 Part 6 residential energy standards. Specific requirements vary depending on project scope, building type, and local jurisdiction — your energy analyst will model the most appropriate compliance path for your project.
How much does an ADU Title 24 report cost?
Title24Comply's ADU report starts at $199 — with affordable fixed-rate pricing, CHEERS registration, PDF delivery, and one free revision included. Overage pricing applies for projects over 1,000 sq ft at +$9 per 100 sq ft.
