Current Title 24 standards favor heat pumps for space and water heating across California, which affects new construction projects.
Heat pumps and current code
The 2022 and 2025 standards set heat pumps as a baseline in many heating scenarios statewide. A heat pump often improves a project's compliance margin. Title 24 is a statewide California energy code. New Construction 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.
