Bay Area Service
Title 24 Glazing for Affordable & Publicly Funded Housing
California’s Title 24 energy code applies to all new affordable housing construction and major rehabilitation projects — and the glazing spec is one of the most scrutinized components during energy plan check.
Insight Glass installs thermally broken aluminum window systems and insulated glass units (IGUs) with low-e coatings that meet or exceed Title 24’s U-factor and SHGC requirements for residential and mixed-use occupancies. We work with GCs and design teams early in the process to ensure the glazing spec is compliant, buildable, and within budget — avoiding costly substitutions or corrections during permitting.
For LIHTC and HUD-financed projects with green building overlays (LEED, GreenPoint Rated, or Enterprise Green Communities), we can provide documentation to support certification.
