Terms of Service

Scope of services

CaliTitle24 Energy Compliance prepares energy compliance documentation under Title 24 Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations, related CALGreen documentation under Part 11, and performs California Energy Code Compliance field testing and acceptance testing where separately engaged.

Basis of the work

Compliance documentation is prepared from the plans, specifications and information supplied by the client. We do not verify the accuracy of supplied documents. Where the constructed project departs from the documents modelled, the documentation may no longer reflect compliance and revision may be required at additional cost.

Determination of compliance

Final determination of code compliance rests with the authority having jurisdiction. We do not warrant that any submittal will be approved, as plan review involves discretionary judgement outside our control. Where a correction request relates to our own work, we will address it at no additional charge.

Field verification

California Energy Code Compliance field testing is performed by our raters, who hold the major industry certifications (presented on request), with results registered with an approved data registry. Verification reflects conditions observed and measured at the time of the site visit. Access to the areas requiring verification is the client's responsibility, and failed tests requiring re-visit after remediation are chargeable.

Fees

Fees are quoted in writing before work begins and are due on delivery of documentation. Revisions arising from changes to the design after modelling has begun are chargeable at our then-current rates. Work cancelled after modelling has begun is billed for the work completed to that point.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
