Yes. Projects in California may use the standard LEED for Homes v2008 scoring approaches for the Energy and Atmosphere section, or they may elect to use this ACP, which combines energy modeling to Title 24-2016 Part 6 and replaces EA credit 1: Optimize Energy Performance, EA credit 8: Lighting in California, EA credit 9: Appliances, and EA credit 10 Renewable Energy in California with a single credit, EA 1: Optimize Energy Performance, based on Title-24 2016 Part 6 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Buildings.
The Title 24 energy models must be performed by a CEA. All aspects of ENERGY STAR v3 Homes are met by Title 24 2016 Residential compliance, save for the two following measures, which must be met by all projects:
1) Cooling equipment selection and sizing limits. All installed cooling equipment must be sized within the following parameters.
Compressor Type:
Single-Speed: 90-130%
Two-Speed: 90-140%
Variable-Speed: 90-160%
2) External static pressure of ducted heating and cooling systems must be measured by a qualified energy rater at contractor-provided test locations.
Scoring in EA credit 1: Optimize Energy Performance is as follows:

The percent savings over T-24 2016 baseline is calculated using the project’s Energy Design Rating (EDR).
Title 24 savings = 1 - (Final Proposed EDR / EDR of Standard Efficiency)
