Title 24 Reports in Fontana
Fontana is climate zone 10 across all 3 of its ZIP codes, along with the rest of the valley floor. Twenty minutes away, a single neighbouring city is split between two zones — which is where reports get reused when they should not be.

The valley floor is uniform
Fontana carries zone 10 throughout, and so do Rialto, Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario. Across the western end of the county the assignment simply does not vary, so for a project inside the city the zone is settled before anyone looks it up.
A neighbouring city that is two zones at once
San Bernardino is the case worth knowing. Downtown (92401) is zone 10, the same as Fontana. The foothills immediately north of it (92404) are zone 16 — the mountain zone. One city name, two sets of requirements, and nothing in the address that announces which one applies.
This is the practical reason a compliance report cannot be carried from one project to the next on the strength of the city name. Two sites a few miles apart, both correctly described as being in San Bernardino, are measured against different targets. The ZIP resolves it; the city does not.
Valley, desert and mountain in one county
San Bernardino County spans zones 10, 14, 15 and 16. North over the Cajon Pass, Victorville and Barstow are zone 14, the high desert. Up in the San Bernardino range, Big Bear Lake and Running Springs are zone 16. A county-wide statement about what Title 24 requires here is therefore not really a statement at all.
What zone 10 weighs
Zone 10 is hot and dry in summer with a wide daily swing. Cooling capacity, duct performance and solar heat gain through glazing dominate the calculations, and heating is secondary. Duct leakage in particular is worth attention here: on a valley-floor house with ducts in an unconditioned attic it is one of the more common places a design loses margin, and where field verification applies it is confirmed by testing rather than accepted on paper.
Permitting through Building and Safety
Work inside the city is permitted through the City of Fontana Building and Safety Division. Sites on unincorporated land are reviewed by San Bernardino County instead, where the applicable requirements depend on which part of the county the project is in.
