ADU Title 24 Reports / ADU Title 24 Energy calculation

 
 
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
 
 
Common ADU Title 24 report's scenarios
 
 
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.]
