Title 24 planning in Solano County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in Solano County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / Solano County
Not sure which zone applies
Imagine an owner told different things about which climate zone applies to their address. Resolve it with the CEC climate zone tool using the exact address, then confirm with the reviewer. Record the confirmed zone on the plans. Do not rely on a neighbor's documents, a real estate listing or a general county map. Climate zone affects prescriptive requirements and modeling assumptions, so an incorrect zone can invalidate documentation. Once confirmed, include a printout or screenshot of the lookup with your project files for future reference.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
