Title 24 planning in Yolo County
Preparation guidance for energy compliance documentation on projects in Yolo County. Requirements are set by the Energy Code and enforced by your local building department.
Hypothetical example / Yolo County
Small multifamily new construction
Consider a small multifamily building. Multifamily documentation can differ from single-family. Ask the preparer which forms apply and provide unit plans, common areas and systems. Decisions such as central versus individual water heating, corridor conditioning and common-area lighting influence the documentation significantly. Gather unit-by-unit window schedules and mechanical intentions, and ask whether common spaces such as laundry rooms or lobbies need nonresidential documentation. Coordinating the architect, mechanical engineer and electrical designer early avoids conflicting assumptions across forms.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Provide unit and common area plans
- Specify central or individual systems
