Of all the software currently certified for use with the Title 24 Standards, EnergyPro is the only program certified for use with BOTH Residential and Nonresidential Buildings. Our latest software release includes advanced modeling and reports to help you get your new projects to Zero Net Energy goals established by various agencies. As the codes get tougher in the state, look to EnergyPro and our extensive support resources to help you achieve the efficiency needed to meet these goals.

Residential Modules

Residential Title 24 Prescriptive (RM0)

Demonstrate compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for low-rise residential buildings. This will allow you to show compliance using the Prescriptive method for Additions and Alterations. This is a much more streamlined method for additions and alterations that in many cases requires no CF1R registration or HERS testing. The forms include the CF1R-ADD-02 and CF1R-ALT-05 reports.

Residential Title 24 Performance (RM1)

Demonstrate compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for low-rise residential buildings. Approved by the California Energy Commission for use with the Building Energy Efficiency Standards, this module will perform an hourly simulation of the building to determine energy usage and compliance in accordance with CEC procedures.

Residential Load Calculations (RM2)

Determine the size requirements of HVAC systems for low-rise residential buildings. Utilizing ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals load calculation procedures, this module will allow for room by room load calculations to determine the proper size of the heating and cooling system.

Residential GreenPoint Rated (RM3)

Developed in partnership with Build-It-Green, this module will calculate the energy point score used for compliance with the GreenPoint Rated scoring system used for rating existing homes. In addition, it will produce the form GPR-1 compliance certificate needed to demonstrate compliance with the GreenPoint Rated system

Residential Performance (RM4)

Calculate the energy performance of low-rise residential buildings when no code or compliance baselines are involved. This module will perform an hourly simulation on the building, and determine annual energy consumption and energy cost.

Residential CalRatePro (RM5) V5.1 Only

Developed in partnership with CalCERTS, this module will perform home energy rating calculations on existing California homes for use with the CalCERTS Whole House Home Energy Rating and Energy Efficient Mortgage programs. This module will produce a HERS index which rates the energy efficiency of the home, and also allow for economic analysis of various energy efficiency upgrades on the home.

Nonresidential Modules

Nonresidential Title 24 Mandatory Measures (NRM0)

The CEC now requires a series of forms to be submitted with projects, depending upon scope. This module is used to complete the following mandatory forms:

NRCC-CXR-E Design review form applicable to all new nonresidential projects.

NRCC-ELC-E Electrical Power Distribution compliance form

NRCC-SRA-E Solar Ready Area compliance form

Nonresidential Title 24 Prescriptive Envelope (NRM1)

Demonstrate building envelope compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for nonresidential/high-rise residential/hotel-motel buildings. This module will calculate envelope compliance using the CEC Envelope Component compliance method and produce the ENV-01 Certificate of Compliance and supporting ENV worksheets.

Nonresidential Title 24 Prescriptive Indoor Lighting (NRM2)

Demonstrate indoor lighting compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for nonresidential/high-rise residential/hotel-motel buildings. This module will calculate indoor lighting compliance using the CEC Complete Building, Area Category or Tailored methods of compliance and produce the LTI-E Certificate of Compliance.

Nonresidential Title 24 Prescriptive HVAC Compliance & Load Calculations (NRM3)

Determine the size requirements of HVAC systems using the ASHRAE TFM sizing methodology as published in the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. This module will allow for the accurate sizing of the HVAC system, and will produce the MCH compliance documentation needed for compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for nonresidential/high-rise residential/hotel-motel buildings. Capabilities of this module include the ability to do room by room load calculations for buildings.

Nonresidential Title 24 Prescriptive Outdoor Lighting (NRM4)

Demonstrate outdoor lighting compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for nonresidential/high-rise residential/hotel-motel buildings. This module will calculate outdoor lighting compliance for outdoor applications as well as signs and produce the LTO-E Certificate of Compliance and the LTS-E Certificate of Compliance.

Nonresidential Title 24 Process Loads (NRM5)

Demonstrate compliance with the Process Loads requirements in Title 24. This module allows for documentation of Parking Garages, Commercial Kitchens, Computer Rooms, Commercial Refrigeration, Refrigerated Warehouses, Laboratories Compressed Air Systems, Process Boilers, Elevators and Escalators. This module will complete all of the NRCC-PRC series of compliance forms. (Due to the large amount of data, the refrigeration and compressed air forms are provided as fillable forms, but are not auto-populated by the software)

Nonresidential Title 24 Performance (NRM6)

Demonstrate compliance with the current version of the California Title 24 code for nonresidential/high-rise residential/hotel-motel buildings using the Performance Approach. This module will calculate hourly building energy performance for all building end use categories including the Envelope, Lighting, HVAC and DHW systems. Documentation produced by this module includes the PRF-01-E Performance Certificate of Compliance.

This module uses the EnergyPlus software engine from the Department of Energy to provide a highly accurate hourly simulation of building energy use. The Performance Approach allows trade-offs between various building components to determine Title 24 compliance, and will also calculate building energy cost using utility rates, and produce an ECON-1 form.

Nonresidential ASHRAE 90.1 (NRM7)

Demonstrate compliance with the ASHRAE 90.1 Standard using the Appendix G compliance methodology. This module will automatically create the four baseline runs needed to show compliance with the 2016 version of the standard. (Version 7 applies the 90.1-2013 Standard, version 6 applies the 90.1-2010 Standard, version 5 applies the 2004/2007 Standard). For LEED compliance, the 90.1 methodology is used for projects outside of California, and can optionally be used for projects inside California.

This module uses the DOE-2.1E* v119 software engine licensed from the Department of Energy to provide a highly accurate hourly simulation of building energy use. Documentation produced by this module includes the EAC-1 and EAP-S worksheets which can be used to complete the LEED template.

Nonresidential Performance (NRM8)

Calculate the energy performance of nonresidential buildings when no code or compliance baselines are involved. This module will perform an hourly simulation on the building, and determine annual energy consumption and energy cost. This module uses the DOE-2.1E* v119 software engine licensed from the Department of Energy to provide a highly accurate hourly simulation of building energy use.

Nonresidential Savings By Design Performance (NRM9)

Calculate the utility incentive amounts for nonresidential buildings under the Savings By Design statewide utility incentive program. This module will perform an hourly simulation on the building, and determine annual energy consumption and energy cost. It will allow for calculation of the Non-complianceќ standard and proposed building energy use which can be used for incentive purposes. This module uses the DOE-2.1E* v119 software engine licensed from the Department of Energy to provide a highly accurate hourly simulation of building energy use.
