2016 Navigator Ace™
Please note: this tool is fully functional on mobile phones and tablets, however the layout will require extra
scrolling to move through the flowcharts and PDFs may be difficult to read. The best view of the flowcharts is
on a larger screen such as a tablet, laptop or desktop.
Also, the Download All button will download a zip file which most mobile phones are not able to open.
The 2016 Navigator Ace tool provides a step-by-step guide to the 2016 Title 24, Part 6 compliance process.
Laid out in an easy-to-follow flowchart, each step in the process is described in detail for the responsible
party including links to resources, code language and tools to assist with compliance.
Get started by choosing Residential or Nonresidential, then Performance or Prescriptive path. Not
sure? We have guidance for that too!
Then you can click on each box to expand a print-ready PDF with all the details for that step or
download the entire set of steps as a single PDF using the “Download All” button that will appear at the bottom
of the page.
