CEC-CF1R-ALT-05-E is the Certificate of Compliance for prescriptive residential alterations that do not require ECC field verification. Minimum requirements for prescriptive alteration compliance can be found in Building Energy Efficiency Standards Section 150.2(b)1.

If more than one person has responsibility for installation of the items on this certificate, each person shall prepare and sign a certificate applicable to the portion of construction for which they are responsible. Alternatively, the person with chief responsibility for construction shall prepare and sign this certificate for the entire construction. All applicable Mandatory Measures shall be met. Temporary labels shall not be removed before verification by the building inspector.

The Responsible Person certifies under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of California: The information provided on this Certificate of Compliance is true and correct.

By signing you certify that this Certificate of Compliance documentation is accurate and complete.

If any part of the alteration does not comply, prescriptive compliance fails, in which case the performance compliance approach must be used in an attempt to achieve compliance.
