Murrieta Title 24 Climate Zone 10
Murrieta sits in Climate Zone 10. Santa Ana winds and inland valley heat drive this climate. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 95 degrees. Because of this, Zone 10 homes need higher insulation values than coastal cities. They also need more efficient HVAC systems. Larger solar PV arrays apply as well. Duct leakage testing carries extra importance in Murrieta's summer climate.
Murrieta has a specific plan check requirement worth noting. The CF1R must show a COMPLIES result. The report must use approved software with the COMPLIES indicator active. We prepare all Murrieta reports to meet this standard. Furthermore, we verify the COMPLIES result before we deliver your report.
We confirm your exact climate zone by project address before starting any report. The California Energy Commission climate zone tool provides the official zone map. You can also view our full California Title 24 climate zones guide for zone-by-zone details.

CF1R Reports and HERS Testing in Murrieta
The City of Murrieta Building and Safety Division requires a CF1R Certificate of Compliance for all residential permits. This applies whenever a project triggers Title 24. Title 24 Calcs prepares the CF1R using CEC-approved software. We update the software to the 2025 code. We register the report with an approved HERS provider before delivery. This ensures you receive it ready for CSS portal submittal.
| CF1RCertificate of Compliance — submitted with the Murrieta permit application | CF2RCertificate of Installation — signed by the installing contractor in the field | CF3RCertificate of Verification — signed by a HERS Rater before Murrieta final inspection |
HERS testing covers specific energy systems. A certified HERS Rater must verify duct leakage, heat pump refrigerant charge, ventilation flow rates, and battery readiness. The city requires this before issuing a certificate of occupancy. Your CF1R lists all applicable HERS measures for your Murrieta project.
