1. Start with the first section of the CF-1R-ALT form. Enter the project details, building permit number, and California climate zone. Accurate entries here ensure your form is processed without delays.
2. Move to the second section. Enter the wall assembly details, including insulation type (wood, metal, or mass construction), thickness values, and reference table numbers from the energy code. This section covers both furring strip assemblies and standard construction types.
Review each wall assembly entry before moving on. Errors in this section can delay your building permit approval.

4. Section four covers the prescriptive compliance certificate details. Enter the climate zone, number of stories, mass and furring strip specifications, and fenestration proposed areas by orientation (North, East, South, West). Check that each energy efficiency value matches your project plans.
5. The final section lists fenestration type and frame details, maximum U-factor, maximum SHGC, NFRC values, and altered fenestration allowed areas. Complete the CFA calculations for your dwelling before submitting the form.
