Get ready for Title 24, Part 6.....
The California Energy Code, or Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations, also titled The Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings were established in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California's energy consumption. As of January 1, 2010, these standards have been updated. The new standards affect new construction, significant repairs of existing roofs, re-roofing (steep-slope), plus additions and alterations of existing buildings and homes.

Currently, a residential cool roof is an optional energy efficiency measure, however on January 1, 2010, a cool roof will be required for residential buildings (Climate Zones-10-15, Sacramento is Zone 12). Cool roof standards are designed to reduce air conditioner demand, lower your energy costs, and reduce the urban heat island effect.

Are Cool Roofs Mandatory?
There are other products available that will meet the new Title 24, Part 6 Energy Efficiency Standards if you elect to install a non-Cool Roof. Our Sales Consultants can assist you in choosing the product(s) that will meet the new requirements as well as obtaining a more energy efficiency home!
