2022 Low-Rise Multifamily Energy Code Forms
Official California Energy Commission compliance documents you can use to show compliance with 2022
California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6 or Energy Code).
These forms are for low-rise (three stories or less) Multifamily and Mixed-Use projects starting with
the 2022 Energy Code. High-rise (four stories or more) projects should use the Nonresidential forms.
LMCC Forms (Low-rise Multifamily Certificates of Compliance)
The Low-rise Multifamily Certificates of Compliance (LMCC) are to demonstrate the construction documents are compliant with the Energy Code at the time of permit application.
Use the Virtual Compliance Assistant to walk you through form completion and produce the pdf you can take to the Authority Having Jurisdiction for construction permit application.

NRCA Forms (Nonresidential Certificates of Acceptance)
The Nonresidential Certificates of Acceptance (NRCA) are to demonstrate compliance with Acceptance Testing requirements in the Energy Code. These documents must be completed by a field technician or Certified Acceptance Test Technician (ATT) and submitted to the inspector.
- Forms ending in a "-F" can be downloaded from the CEC's website, completed, and submitted to the inspector.
- Mechanical and Lighting forms ending in a "-A" must be completed by a Certified Acceptance Testing Technician (ATT) through a Certification Provider's website. See the CEC website to find an ATT, and for more information on the Acceptance Testing Program.
