What Is a CHEERS Project Status Report (PSR)?
It is the registry’s one-page summary of a project: which compliance documents the project needs, which are registered and which are still incomplete. CHEERS, the only ECC-Provider the Energy Commission currently lists as approved, generates it so building officials can check progress before final inspection. It summarizes the certificates and does not replace them.

What is on it
The Reference Appendices require every ECC-Provider registry to keep a status report for each project: its name and address, then each required CF1R, CF2R and CF3R with its registration number and date registered, or marked not complete where a record was started but not registered. The 2025 Multifamily Compliance Manual adds that it shows whether documents are registered or pending, and whether any tested measure failed. CHEERS says its version also carries a QR code to verify authenticity, the permit number and building department, and a green check or red X beside each item.
When you can get it
The Appendices make the report available to authorized users of the registry. CHEERS says it can be downloaded once the ECC-Rater has finished testing and updated the registry, and that a signed-in user can download it or send it to the building inspector. It also says a homeowner account lets an owner sign documents and track project status. CHEERS describes no public search for it; see how to look up a CHEERS registration number.
Reading a red X
A red X marks an incomplete or missing item, so match it to its signer. An unregistered CF1R is for the designer and documentation author to finish. A missing CF2R belongs to the installer, and the rater cannot submit a CF3R without it. A missing CF3R points to a test that is not done or not passed. The full set is explained in which documents the inspector wants. CHEERS says that when the ECC verifiable measures and the overall status both read complete, the project is inspection-ready.
What it is not
- A certificate. Section 10-103(d)2 has the department check the CF2Rs and CF3Rs, posted or viewable on the registry, and the Energy Code does not name the status report. CHEERS tells owners to get one finalized, so ask your department whether it wants it too.
- The rater’s report. That separate document itemizes each test, any other service, the amount charged and the result.
- The Consumer Information Form, which the rater must give you before testing starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
CHEERS describes downloading it from a signed-in account, and the Appendices make it available to authorized users. Its public pages describe no public search, so ask whoever registered the project, or the rater.
The multifamily manual says the status report shows whether any tested measure failed compliance. A failure has to be corrected and retested, as what happens after a failed test explains.
The Appendices set the minimum content for every ECC-Provider registry. As of October 2026 CHEERS is the only provider the Commission lists as approved, and its report is the one described here.
