Title 24 planning in Trinity County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in Trinity County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / Trinity County
Owner wants to self-install insulation
Consider an owner planning to install insulation themselves. Installation quality can be part of documentation and inspection. Ask whether self-installed insulation affects any verification and how it is certified. Some insulation installation quality items may be field verified depending on the approach. Ask the preparer whether the documentation includes measures that require an installer certificate or rater inspection, and whether self-installation is compatible with those. Taking dated photos before walls are closed provides evidence of what was installed. If a measure requires certified installation, consider hiring that portion out.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
