What Is Title 24 Roofing Compliance?

Title 24 is California’s energy code that sets minimum efficiency standards for commercial buildings. When it comes to roofing, it often requires insulation and reflective “cool roof” systems to reduce heat gain and improve energy performance.

Key Requirements May Include:

A white checkmark inside a solid black circle.

Minimum above-deck insulation (R-values depending on project type)

A white checkmark inside a solid black circle.

Reflective roofing surfaces (cool roof compliance)

A white checkmark inside a black circle.

Limited exceptions depending on building type and scope

Newly conditioned building New Construction YES
Tenant improvement that is the first conditioned build out of the space New Construction YES
First conditioning of a space that is not a tenant improvement Addition YES
Adding newly conditioned floor area and volume to a building Addition YES
Replacing existing building features associated with conditioned space Alteration YES
Tenant improvement that is the first conditioned build out of the space Alteration YES
Recoating, recovering or replacing roofing but NOT repairing a roof Alteration YES
Repairing, but NOT recoating, recovering or replacing roofing Repair NO
