Automated Logic Submits Title 24 JA18 Control Sequences for Certification to California Energy Commission

Automated Logic Corporation (ALC), a recognized innovator in building automation systems, is proud to announce that we have submitted a control sequence library for Title 24 JA18 certification to the California Energy Commission (CEC) as of December 19, 2025. While certification is still pending, our goal is to receive approval for the WebCTRL building automation system library in early 2026. This milestone underscores ALC’s commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and carbon footprint reduction. Automated Logic is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. 

Alongside ASHRAE Guideline 36 support, our application libraries will feature pre-certified Title 24 JA18 sequences—giving customers a clear, auditable path to compliance. These sequences are intended to help streamline specification and commissioning, potentially reducing project delays and costly on-site troubleshooting. 

“This submission underscores our commitment to helping customers and commissioning agents meet California’s stringent energy efficiency standards,” said Axel Reichert, President, Automated Logic. “We are anxiously awaiting certification status to provide customers and commissioning agents with tools that support Title 24 JA18-compliant systems designed for more optimal performance and efficiency.” 

Why Title 24 JA18 Matters 

Effective January 1, 2026, Title 24 JA18 requires standardized sequences of operation for HVAC systems in California. Compliance is critical to avoid costly delays and help prevent projects from failing to meet state energy codes. Automated Logic’s sequences are designed to simplify compliance and streamline commissioning. 

Our Compliance Approach

• Submitted for Certification: Application libraries submitted to CEC on December 19, 2025. 
• Pending Approval: Certification expected in early 2026, subject to CEC review timelines. 
• Comprehensive Coverage: Includes sequences for common HVAC applications such as VAV systems, air handlers, exhaust fans, and fan coil units. 
• Integrity and Traceability: Locked logic and documented sequences designed to support verified compliance and ease of auditing.

Benefits for Customers and Commissioning Agents

• Simplified Commissioning: Pre-certified sequences are intended to reduce complexity and save time. 
• Energy Efficiency: Systems designed to meet California’s rigorous standards. 
• Future-Ready: Aligns with evolving sustainability and regulatory requirements.

Automated Logic remains committed to supporting our partners and customers through this transition. Stay tuned for updates as we move toward certification and continue to deliver innovative solutions that make buildings smarter, more efficient, and easier to manage. 

Verified Compliance and Integrity – with Flexibility 

Each certified control sequence will include logic that is ‘locked’ upon download to the controller, ensuring integrity and full traceability. For project flexibility, logic outside the certified section can be modified as needed without affecting the certified status. This secure chain of custody is designed to safeguard compliance and maintains certification throughout the system’s lifecycle.
