Title 24 planning in San Joaquin County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in San Joaquin County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / San Joaquin County
Builder swapping a window supplier mid-project
Imagine a builder whose window supplier changes after permit. If the new products have different ratings, the documentation may need revision. Before switching, compare the new products against documented values and ask the preparer whether a revision is needed. Revising documentation before installation is generally simpler than explaining discrepancies at inspection. Keeping the product labels on the windows until the inspection is complete also lets the inspector confirm ratings directly. If several homes are affected, track which addresses received which products.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Compare new window ratings to CF1R
- Ask whether revision is needed
- Update window schedule
- Inform the reviewer if required
