Permit and Compliance Tools Inventory and Characterization
This paper presents an inventory and characterization of software tools used for building Energy Code compliance in California. By evaluating a range of tools, the report aims to highlight the capabilities, limitations, and areas of opportunity within the current compliance landscape. Findings emphasize both the strengths and the gaps in existing tools, offering valuable insights that can help shape the future of Energy Code compliance efforts. The study is intended to inform ongoing tool development, ultimately contributing to California's broader goals of improving energy efficiency and advancing decarbonization. The insights gathered here will support efforts to streamline and enhance compliance processes across building sectors, enabling more effective implementation of energy standards. Future work will build on these findings by integrating survey responses and a literature review, with the goal of developing actionable recommendations for enhancing the state's compliance framework.

Key Performance Indicators to Track Energy Code Compliance Rates
This report, prepared by Arup for the California Energy Commission (CEC), investigates key performance indicators (KPIs) and data streams needed to assess Energy Code compliance in California. As part of the state’s ongoing efforts to enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, compliance with California’s Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) is a critical metric. However, high rates of unpermitted and non-compliant work—especially in the residential sector—impede these goals. The CEC commissioned this study to address these challenges by providing actionable insights and proposing methods for tracking and verifying compliance rates.

Recommendations on Improving Energy Code Compliance
This report presents a set of practical, phased recommendations to improve compliance with California’s Energy Code, based on analysis of current tools, stakeholder feedback, and compliance tracking practices. It synthesizes findings from three previous efforts commissioned by the California Energy Commission (CEC): the Permit and Compliance Tools Inventory and Characterization Report (Attachment I, “Tools Inventory”), the Surveys with Contractors and Installers, HERS Raters, and Acceptance Test Technicians and Employers (Attachment II, “Stakeholder Survey”), and the Key Performance Indicators to Track Energy Code Compliance Rates (Attachment III, “KPI Report”).

California Energy Code Compliance Gap Analysis
The California Energy Code sets minimum efficiency standards for buildings, but statewide compliance rates remain unclear. Existing studies report varying and sometimes conflicting compliance rates, with some indicating high adherence and others showing low permitting and documentation rates, particularly in residential projects. This gap analysis identifies 20 barriers - including inconsistent definitions, poor permit data, and limited methods to measure unpermitted work - that hinder understanding of compliance. It defines process- vs. energy-based compliance, recommends focusing on process-based compliance initially, and proposes a two-pronged approach: short-term field studies (1–5 years) and long-term development of compliance metrics using existing infrastructure. The CEC seeks stakeholder input on building category priorities, feasible metrics, impacts of unpermitted work, and data challenges across 500+ jurisdictions.
