The California Energy Commission (CEC) has opened public comment on the Restructured 2025 Energy Code. This effort is intended to improve the organization and navigation of the code by aligning it more closely with the California Building Standards Code.

Public comments are being accepted through May 26, 2026.

The CEC encourages input from those working with the Energy Code, including raters, builders, and energy consultants. Comments may be submitted to Docket 24-BSTD-05, and written comments or technical inquiries can be emailed to [email protected].

📄 The Consumer Protection Toolkit = Transparency 🔍

With the 2025 Energy Code in effect, clear communication and documented compliance matter more than ever.

The CHEERS Consumer Protection Toolkit brings everything together, giving builders, contractors, and homeowners a shared, transparent view of project requirements, progress, and outcomes.

✔️ Consumer Information Form (CIF) sets expectations from the start
✔️ Project Owner Report (POR) keeps project owners informed
✔️ Project Status Report (PSR) tracks progress every step of the way

Together, these tools help ensure everyone stays aligned. Learn more about the Consumer Protection Toolkit here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdtMrY3KP1pssrIfdRdoVwWpukhzbHeWQ

Project Status Report (PSR) = Compliance Status at a Glance🔎

The PSR is a one-page summary document used by building officials to verify California Energy Code compliance.

✔ Required ECC testing
✔ Status of CF-1R, CF-2Rs, and CF-3Rs
✔ Whether the project is COMPLETE and ready for final inspection

Project Owner Report (POR) = Clear Project Summary🔎

The POR is part of the CHEERS Consumer Protection Toolkit and provides project owners with a clear summary of their project's compliance results & associated costs.

The POR helps project owners see:
✅The ECC Rater who performed the verification work
✅The field verification & diagnostic testing (FV&DT) results
✅A summary of services completed and associated costs

CLEAR SUMMARY = Greater transparency for project owners.

Under the 2025 Energy Code, proper documentation is just as critical as proper installation.

All verification results must be recorded in the CHEERS Registry, and a Project Owner Report (POR) must be provided at project completion. Missing or incomplete records can delay final inspections.

CHEERS is here to help ensure your project documentation meets ECC requirements.

03/12/2026

The 2025 Energy Code places greater emphasis on traceable compliance.

That means every required verification must be field verified by an ECC Rater, properly documented in the CHEERS Registry, and clearly communicated to the project owner.

Taking time to ensure records are complete and accurate helps avoid setbacks and keeps projects moving forward.

03/10/2026

With the 2025 Energy Code, group sampling for additions and alterations is no longer an option. Contractors must ensure every project is verified to meet California’s 2025 Energy Code Compliance Standards.

CHEERS is here to help ensure your project documentation meets ECC requirements.

03/03/2026

The 2025 Energy Code requires refrigerant charge verification for heat pumps in all climate zones.

For standard air conditioners, refrigerant charge is prescriptively required in climate zones 2, 8 - 15.

Understanding what’s required is key to ensuring your projects meet California’s updated energy standards.
