California Building Industry Research (CBIR)
Residential new construction energy code data, single family homes, townhomes & duplexes

See how energy code drives new construction trends in California.

Title 24 compliance data from thousands of newly constructed homes across California, down to zip code level.

Residential Construction data sourced directly from California's energy code registry.

Every data point in the California Building Industry Research (CBIR) portal originates from Title 24 compliance documentation filed directly with CHEERS — a California Energy Commission (CEC) approved energy code registry. As CHEERS' official data partner, ConSol sources CBIR data entirely from energy code compliance records of actual built homes.
