Title 24 Reports in Ontario
Ontario is climate zone 10 throughout. Pomona, immediately across the Los Angeles County line, is zone 9 — so the zone boundary and the county boundary run together here.

The zone line follows the county line
Ontario, Upland, Chino and Rancho Cucamonga all carry zone 10, the inland-valley zone that covers the western Inland Empire. Cross west into Pomona — Los Angeles County — and it is zone 9.
That makes the boundary unusually easy to describe and unusually easy to get wrong. The two cities are adjacent, the freeway runs straight between them, and there is nothing on the ground to mark the change. The county line is the marker.
Why it matters more here than it sounds
Because Ontario sits at the junction of two large construction markets. Firms working the San Gabriel Valley and firms working the Inland Empire both operate here, and they are working in different zones on either side of a line they cross without noticing. A set of calculations prepared for a Pomona project does not transfer to Ontario.
What Ontario's own development looks like
The city has one of the largest concentrations of logistics and distribution development in the state alongside substantial newer housing, so the work splits between residential additions and ADUs on the one hand and nonresidential projects on the other — where lighting and mechanical scope, not floor area, decides how much documentation is required. Permits are issued by the city rather than by San Bernardino County.
Common Title 24 Questions in Ontario
- Which climate zone applies to an Ontario project?
- Why is Pomona a different climate zone from Ontario?
- Does an Ontario ADU need an energy report?
- Do Ontario warehouse projects need Title 24?
- Does the city or San Bernardino County issue my permit?
Ontario projects fall in California climate zone 10. The zone drives the envelope and equipment requirements a report has to meet, and a single city can span more than one, so it is confirmed per address.
