A garage conversion turns an existing garage into conditioned living space — often an ADU, bedroom, office, or studio. Because it creates new conditioned area, it almost always requires a Title 24 energy compliance report before the building department issues a permit.
Who needs a Garage Conversion Title 24 report
Homeowners, contractors, architects, and developers undertaking garage conversion projects in California typically need a Title 24 report as part of the permit process. Title 24 is a statewide California energy code. Garage Conversion projects follow the same statewide standards; the exact requirements depend on your project's scope and address, which we model in CEC-approved compliance software.
