<br />STATEMENT OF CONFORMANCE
<br />These . Calculations contain all the building features and performance specifications required for
<br />compliance by the California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 1, Administrative Requirements; Part 6,
<br />Building Energy Efficiency Standards; and portions of Title 20, Appliance Efficiency Standards. When
<br />these features are incorporated into the architectural plans the design will be in compliance with the 2025
<br />Energy Efficiency Standards as they apply in the specified Climate Zone for residential buildings using a
<br />California Energy Commission approved compliance method. r_ r-
