Title 24 planning in Tehama County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in Tehama County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / Tehama County
Adding a room with a separate mini-split
Suppose an addition is served by its own mini-split rather than the existing system. Provide the mini-split specifications and the addition plans, and ask whether the addition can be documented alone. A separate mini-split leaves the existing system untouched, which may simplify requirements on existing equipment. Document the addition envelope fully, including the wall where it meets the existing house, and confirm the mini-split's location, line set routing and condensate drainage. If the existing house has an aging system, decide now whether to leave it alone, since changing it later becomes a separate alteration.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Provide mini-split specs
- Provide addition plans
- Ask about addition-alone path
- Keep existing system unchanged
