Hypothetical example / Escondido
Large family room addition with French doors
Suppose an addition includes multiple French doors and large windows facing a yard. Glazed doors count as fenestration, and the total area may be significant. Before finalizing, ask the preparer for a quick glazing area check and compare two door product options. Overhang or shading changes might also be explored if the design allows. If the doors are a premium product, ask whether a different glass package is available. Remember that the existing house may be included if a whole-house approach is used, so gather existing information too.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- List every glazed door and window
- Compare two door products
