What is an ADU? |
|
| |
• An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a residential unit that can be added to a lot with an existing single-family home or multi-family development.
• ADUs can be located in a few different places, either detached (such as a separate building in a backyard), attached to a part of the primary residence as an addition, or be converted from an existing garage or other part of the primary residence.
• ADUs are independent rental units that have their own kitchens, bathrooms, and entrances.
• ADUs have many names:
- accessory apartments
- secondary suites
- in-law unit
- granny flat
- studio
- carriage house
- etc.

What is a JADU? |
|
| |
• A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a part of an existing single-family home that is re-purposed as a private dwelling by incorporating a small kitchen and separate entrance.
• The difference between a JADU and ADU is that JADUs must be located within the existing primary residence and be no greater than 500 square feet in size.
• JADUs require owner occupancy either in the primary residence or accessory unit.
|
|
| |
ADU, Junior ADU and all other Secondary units must meet Energy Code:
Energy Calculations / Title 24 forms need to be submitted to enforcement agencies with Building permit applications |

Attached ADU or JADU [ ADU Connected to the existing dwelling ] may show compliance with Title 24 energy requirements as:
• "ADU Addition": newly constructed ADU or existing unconditioned space [ like attached garage, basement, etc ] converted to ADU
• "ADU Alteration": previously conditioned space converted to ADU [ usually part of existing living area]
• "ADU Addition+Alteration": newly constructed space added to previously conditioned space
Detached ADU [Separated from the existing dwelling]
• "Newly constructed ADU": ADU built from the ground up
• "ADU Addition": newly conditioned space [ garage conversion to ADU, workshop conversion to ADU, pool hose conversion to ADU, etc.] |

1. Send us your drawings, using our e-mail:
energy@title24ez.com
• Attach drawings to your e-mail:
- preferred drawings formats: PDF
- other accepted formats: DWG, DXF (AutoCad), JPG, GIF, PNG, etc.
- files can be compressed into zip or rar file to make them smaller.
What we need for ADU's energy calculations:
• Scope of work: is ADU new construction or conversion of existing structure?
• will natural gas be available in ADU?
• what is the conditioned floor area (CFA)/living space of ADU?
• Floor plan(s) - Existing and Proposed (if applicable) - with all existing, removed, altered and new Exterior Walls, Windows and Doors dimensions [ see sample T24 plans ]
• Elevation Views (optional)
• Orientation of Building (North arrow)
• Average ceiling height
• Floor: Raised with Crawlspace or Raised without Crawlspace (<18 inches above grade) or Slab-on-grade
• Roof: with Attic or Cathedral
• Heating and Cooling Equipment details:
-- What type of system will the ADU have: gas/electric Split/Packaged A/C System / mini-split Heat Pump / central Heat Pump / wall heater / etc.?
• Hot Water System details:
--
tank / instantaneous / water heater heat pump?
-- gas /electric?
-- existing [ from main house, etc] / new for ADU?
• Project name and address
• Project designer name, address, phone (can be owner)
