Comfort, efficiency, and sustainability all begin with your windows. Title 24 windows are designed to meet California’s high-performance standards, helping your home stay comfortable while using less energy. With improved insulation and reduced heat transfer, they make your living spaces more inviting and your energy bills more manageable. But what is Title 24, and what does it mean for homeowners and businesses alike?

Understanding Title 24 Window Requirements

Windows are more than just openings for light, they play a huge role in your home’s energy efficiency. That’s why Title 24 windows are designed to meet strict performance standards, helping homeowners manage heat, sunlight, and airflow throughout the year.

Title 24 Window Requirements at a Glance

To stay compliant (and energy-efficient), here’s what you need to know about how Title 24 evaluates window performance.

U-factor
Shows how well a window keeps heat inside during colder months. Lower numbers mean better insulation and less energy spent on heating.
SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient)
Measures how much solar heat passes through the glass. Lower values help keep your home cooler in the summer.
Air Leakage
Ensures the window is properly sealed, keeping drafts and moisture out.
Visible Transmittance (VT)
Lets in natural light without sacrificing energy efficiency.
Climate Zone Compliance
California has different requirements depending on your region to make sure windows perform at their best.

By following these standards, Title 24 windows make it easier to save energy, stay comfortable year-round, and enjoy a home or business that’s built for efficiency and long-term performance. Even if your property isn’t in California, following Title 24 guidelines positions you well for superior efficiency and long-term savings.

Exceptions in Title 24 Window Compliance

While all new construction needs to fully meet Title 24 standards, replacement windows enjoy some flexibility. If you’re swapping out an old window without changing its size or the overall structure of your home, you might not have to hit every performance target. That said, choosing Title 24 windows whenever you can is still a smart move as it helps keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient for years to come.

How Loxone Takes Title 24 Efficiency Further

Energy-efficient Title 24 windows are a great start, but they’re just one aspect of a truly efficient home. Real comfort and savings come when every system in your home works together, and that’s exactly what Loxone does. With Loxone, your home becomes smarter about how it uses energy.

 

Shades automatically lower to block the harsh afternoon sun, keeping rooms cool without relying on the AC. As evening sets in, they rise again to let in warmth and light. Window sensors prevent your HVAC system from running unnecessarily when a window is open, while intelligent climate control keeps each room at the perfect temperature with no guesswork required. Best of all, Loxone makes it easy to see and manage your home’s performance.

With built-in energy monitoring, you can track exactly how your home is using energy, spot opportunities to save more, and feel confident knowing everything is running efficiently in the background. Homes that meet Title 24 window standards already perform well, but with Loxone, they perform at their best.

By connecting and automating your home’s most important systems, you create a space that’s not only efficient, but comfortable, intuitive, and ready for the future.
