Title 24 planning in Lake County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in Lake County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / Lake County
Rebuild with an owner-builder
Consider an owner acting as their own builder on a rebuild. Owner-builders take on coordination usually handled by a general contractor, including which installers complete CF2R forms and when raters visit. The helpful preparation is a simple responsibility table listing each verification or installation item, who handles it, and at which stage, built from the certificate of compliance. Owner-builders should also keep copies of every signed CF2R and CF3R, since final inspection commonly depends on those documents being complete and consistent with the approved CF1R.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Create a responsibility table from the CF1R
- Confirm each trade understands their forms
- Schedule rater visits by milestone
- Keep copies of all completed forms
