Common Title 24 Lighting Inspection Failures and How to Avoid Them

5 Common Title 24 Lighting Inspection Failures. (And How to Avoid Them)

Failing a Title 24 lighting inspection can delay your project and increase costs. At ELP – Electrical Lighting Professionals, LLC we’ve reviewed hundreds of lighting systems, and we’ve identified the most common reasons for Title 24 compliance failures.

Top 5 Title 24 Inspection Failures
1. Missing or Incorrect Lighting Controls
Occupancy and vacancy sensors must be installed in specific zones.
2. Incomplete Documentation
CF2R and CF3R forms must match actual field conditions and equipment.
3. Non-Compliant Fixtures
All installed fixtures must appear on the California Energy Commission’s approved list.
4. Inaccessible Control Interfaces
Technicians need physical access to test programming and responsiveness.
5. Improper Calibration
Controls must be configured to meet Title 24 standards for timeouts, sensitivity, and dimming.

How to Prevent These Issues
Involve a Certified ATT early in the design phase. Conduct a pre-inspection walkthrough to catch issues before the final inspection.
