Carrier Expands i-Vu BAS with Title 24 Guideline 36 Sequences and JA18 Certification

March 26, 2026

Carrier announced expanded energy code compliance capabilities within its i-Vu® building automation system, including support for Title 24 Guideline 36 control sequences across its application libraries and Title 24 JA18 certification for California projects*. Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), a global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

Carrier’s standard application libraries now support Title 24 ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequences, providing standardized HVAC control strategies designed to improve energy efficiency, system performance, and occupant comfort. For building owners and engineers, these sequences help deliver a more consistent, predictable control approach that supports higher-performing HVAC systems, improved operational outcomes, and reduced lifecycle risk.

For California projects, Carrier has taken an additional step by achieving California Energy Commission (CEC) Title 24 JA18 certification for its i-Vu standard application library, effective February 20, 2026. The certification confirms that Carrier’s control algorithms meet the state’s latest applicable energy code requirements and provide an auditable path to compliance where JA18 certification is required.

“Energy codes are increasingly focused on how HVAC systems are controlled,” said Dominic Eorio, Sales Manager, Carrier Controls. “By delivering standardized Guideline 36 control sequences and offering JA18‑certified applications where required, Carrier is helping building owners and engineers improve performance, reduce risk, and simplify project delivery.”

The JA18certified i-Vu application libraries support common HVAC system types, including variable air volume (VAV) systems, air handlers, exhaust fans, and fan coil units. Certified logic is securely locked to preserve sequence integrity and traceability, while allowing flexibility outside the certified sections to accommodate project-specific requirements.
