Energy code for building departments

No-cost Title 24 Part 6 instruction for California building departments — plans examiners, inspectors, and counter staff. Offered as a public service.

California energy code is complex. Building departments are asked to enforce it with the same staff that is already covering structural, plumbing, and a line at the counter. We teach the energy piece so it does not become a black box.

Bruce Cheney has been instructing building departments on energy code compliance since 2013. The sessions are interactive and practical: how to read the forms, which HERS measures actually get triggered, and where a set of plans is quietly out of compliance.

This training is offered at no cost to California building departments. Call 858-254-1189 and we will put a date on the calendar.

Ready when you are

If the energy code has you turned around, pick up the phone.

Anyone working construction in California feels the same way. We will tell you what is required, who signs what, and when to schedule the test.
