What the zone means here

Ontario is in Climate Zone 10, Inland Empire and Inland San Diego

Hot summers and real winter nights. High volume, and cooling loads big enough that design choices show up in the results.

Where Ontario projects usually lose margin: This is where projects fail on glazing. Keep west-facing window area honest and specify low SHGC.

Every compliance run for a Ontario project uses the CEC weather file for Riverside, the reference station for Zone 10. That file, not the address, is what the energy budget is calculated against, which is why getting the zone right matters more than anything else about location.

Questions

Title 24 in Ontario

How much does a Title 24 report cost in Ontario?

The same published rates as everywhere else in California: from $200 for an ADU or garage conversion, and $300 for an addition or remodel. Commercial NRCC work and multifamily are quoted on a call. Ontario projects are not priced differently. The calculator on this site gives you the exact number.

Which climate zone is Ontario in?

Ontario sits in California Climate Zone 10, Inland Empire and Inland San Diego. The compliance model runs against the CEC weather file for Riverside, and design is driven mainly by cooling.

Zone assignment follows ZIP code boundaries, so a large city can span more than one zone. Send us the project address and we'll confirm it free.

Do you work with Ontario building departments?

Yes. Reports are produced to the state standard, which is what every California jurisdiction plan-checks against, and the forms sheet is sized to drop straight into your plan set. If Ontario plan check comes back with a comment on the energy documents, the correction is included at no charge.
