Addition
Extension of or increase in conditioned floor area and volume of a building, which can be new construction or adding space conditioning to an existing space
Alteration
Any change to a building's water-heating system, space-conditioning system, lighting system, or envelope that is not an addition
ASHRAE
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers
CEC - California Energy Commission
The state agency responsible for energy policy [ Energy Standards Hotline ]
Climate Zone [ California Building Climate Zone Map ]
A geographical area in the state that has particular weather patterns. These zones are used to determine the type of building standards that are required by law
Compliance Software
Software that has been approved pursuant to Section 10-109 of Part 1 of
Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, to demonstrate compliance with the performance approach of
Part 6
Conditioned Floor Area (CFA)
Floor area (in square feet) of enclosed conditioned space on all floors of a building, as measured at the floor level of the exterior surfaces of exterior walls enclosing the conditioned space
Conditioned Space
Space in a building that is either directly conditioned or indirectly conditioned
Conditioned Space, Directly
An enclosed space that is provided with wood heating, is provided with mechanical heating that has a capacity exceeding 10 Btu/hr-ft²), or is provided with mechanical cooling that has a capacity exceeding 5 Btu/hr-ft², unless the space-conditioning system is designed for a process space
Conditioned Space, Indirectly
An enclosed space, including, but not limited to, unconditioned volume in atria, that (1) is not directly conditioned space; and (2) either (a) has a thermal transmittance area product (UA) to directly conditioned space exceeding that to the outdoors or to unconditioned space and does not have fixed vents or openings to the outdoors or to unconditioned space, or (b) is a space through which air from directly conditioned spaces is transferred at a rate exceeding three air changes per hour
Fenestration
In simplest terms, windows or glass doors. Technically fenestration is described as any transparent or translucent material plus any sash, frame, mullion or divider. This includes windows, sliding glass doors, French doors, skylights, curtain walls and garden windows
Front

of the building or unit plan. The orientation of the front facade may not always be the same as that for the
front door itself
Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
A system that provides heating, ventilation and/or cooling within or associated with a building
HVAC Load Calculations
HVAC Load Calculations is a heating and cooling loads summary, calculated using the ASHRAE method. Its useful for sizing HVAC equipment and required for any new HVAC system
HERS [The Home Energy Rating System ]
Program addresses problems in insulation, installation, and poor quality equipment installation for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
HERS Providers
HERS Providers are approved by the Energy Commission based on, among other requirements indicated in the HERS Regulations, the Providers' ability to create and maintain a Registry and Database, to provide ongoing access of the Registry and Database to Energy Commission staff, to train and certify HERS Raters, to create a Quality Assurance Program and conduct quality assurance on HERS Raters' work, and to report annually to the Energy Commission certain data as required by the HERS Regulations.
HERS Providers for 2016 and 2019 Energy Standards:
• Calcerts
• CHEERS
Low-Rise Residential Building

• All single family dwellings of any number of stories (Group R-3)
• All duplex (two-dwelling) buildings of any number of stories (Group R-3)
• All multifamily buildings with three or fewer habitable stories (Groups R-1 and R-2)
• Additions and alterations to all of the above buildings
Non-Residential Building
Any building which is heated or cooled in its interior, and is of an occupancy type other than Type H, I, or J, as defined in the Uniform Building Code, 1973 edition, as adopted by the International Conference of Building Officials
TITLE 24
All of the building standards and associated administrative regulations published in Title 24 of
the California Code of Regulations.
The Building Energy Efficiency Standards are contained in Part 6
Title 24 reports
Certificate of Compliance with Building Energy Efficiency Standards [ forms CF1R for residential projects, forms NRCC for non-residential projects] also known as "Title 24 reports"
