Title 24 planning in San Bernardino County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in San Bernardino County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / San Bernardino County
Warehouse office build-out
Consider an office area being built inside an existing warehouse. The office may need envelope, mechanical and lighting documentation, while the warehouse area may be unaffected. Define the boundary between conditioned office and unconditioned warehouse, and ask the reviewer what documentation covers the warehouse lighting if any of it is altered. Dock doors, high-bay lighting and any office rooftop equipment should be identified on the plans so it is clear which elements belong to the improvement. Confirming whether the warehouse portion is conditioned at all is an equally important early answer.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Define office boundary and assemblies
- Provide office HVAC schedule
- List altered lighting in both areas
- Confirm required forms
