Title 24 in Climate Zone 6
- Windows: U-factor 0.30 or lower and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) 0.23 or lower, with total window area up to 20% of floor area (west-facing up to 5%).
- Solar PV sized by the CEC formula kW = (floor area x 0.594) / 1000 + 1.23; no PV is required if that is under 1.8 kWdc, which for a single ADU works out to about 960 sq ft or smaller.

HVAC design for Port Hueneme
The California Energy Commission's design-day data for Port Hueneme gives the outdoor conditions a Manual J load calculation uses: a summer design temperature of 79°F and a winter design temperature of 33°F.
| Summer design (1%) | 79°F dry bulb / 67°F wet bulb |
|---|---|
| Winter design (median of extremes) | 33°F |
| Daily temperature range | 15°F |
| Elevation | 13 ft |
| Heating degree days | 2,334 |
Loads are small in this mild climate, so the common mistake is oversizing. A right-sized heat pump runs longer, quieter cycles and controls humidity better than a rule-of-thumb unit.
Electrical service from Southern California Edison (SCE)
If the load calculation shows you need a service upgrade, a second meter or a relocated service, Southern California Edison (SCE) handles that through its Building, Renovation, and Project Planning Portal, separately from the building permit.
