Title 24 planning in Napa County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in Napa County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / Napa County
Hospitality tasting room with mixed scopes
Consider a small hospitality space where the project includes new lighting, a new split system and a storefront glazing change. Each scope can have its own nonresidential forms. Organizing a scope matrix (what is new, altered or unchanged across envelope, mechanical and lighting) helps the design team and reviewer agree on what documentation is needed. If the space operates seasonally, mention it; operating schedules do not change documentation requirements, but they help engineers choose sensible controls and equipment sizes within what the code requires.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Build a scope matrix by system
- Collect storefront glazing specs
- Provide mechanical and lighting schedules
- Ask the reviewer to confirm required forms
