Title 24, Part 6
Meet California Energy
Code Requirements
with Dryvit Outsulation®
CI Systems
California Building Standards Code provides comprehensive
standards, including a detailed Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6).
Title 24, Part 6 applies to both non-residential and residential
construction.
Dryvit Outsulation systems comply with all continuous
insulation (CI) standard requirements in California’s 2016
code, and all previous versions of the code.
This means that architects and contractors
can specify and use Outsulation systems
in California with full assurance that they
adhere to code in every climate zone, and
are approved for both residential and
non-residential construction projects.
In addition to meeting California’s strict requirements,
Dryvit Outsulation systems provide an array of other
important benefits:
• Outsulation systems have been proven to compress the
construction schedule when compared to other claddings
• Outsulation systems are cost effective solutions for all
building types
• Dryvit’s exciting coatings and finishes provide you the
great look of traditional stone, brick, metal panels,
and more, but are far more versatile, economical and
time-saving choices
• The Oak Ridge National Laboratory determined that
Outsulation systems are 84% more energy efficient than the
next-best cladding, so owners can save up to 20 - 40% on
energy bills and reduce consumption of fossil fuels
• Using Outsulation systems can help the project earn
valuable LEED credits
• Dryvit offers the industry’s most durable EIF systems and
best warranties – we stand behind our systems

6 work for you
in California and beyond!
Exterior continuous insulation (CI), as well as an air barrier, are
the most effective ways to meet both Federal and California
energy code requirements. Exterior Insulation and Finish
Systems (EIFS) are a proven methodology that integrates these
elements into a durable, design-flexible, cost-effective, single
source solution that fully meets and exceeds the new codes.
Did you know…
- Thermal bridging at the stud line and its inherent
energy loss is the single largest challenge with
traditional framed buildings.
-According to the Department of Energy, the
solution is CI. In fact, CI is now required in most new
construction.
-When CI is incorporated into the building wall,
thermal bridging is eliminated, controlling energy
flow, conserving energy and reducing operating
costs.
