Why Climate Zone 4 Matters Here
Big Sur falls within California Climate Zone 4 (Mixed Marine), an area defined by coastal fog and moderate summers with cooling-dominant afternoons. This classification directly shapes the insulation, glazing, and HVAC efficiency values used in your compliance calculation.
Estimated from proximity to the nearest CEC reference station — we confirm the exact zone for your project's address before preparing your report.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Title 24 report (CF1R) is the energy design document submitted with your permit. HERS verification is a separate field inspection process — required only for certain compliance credits — performed by a certified HERS rater during construction.
At minimum we need the site address, a dimensioned floor plan, window schedule, proposed HVAC and water heating equipment, and insulation values. The more complete your plans, the faster we can turn around your report.
Most California building departments, including Big Sur Building Department, now accept digital permit submittals. We deliver every report as a properly formatted PDF ready for upload.
