Short answer: Send us your order ID and the building department's comment letter. We review what the plan checker is asking for, update the energy model or forms, re-register the report if the change requires it, and send back a revised PDF for resubmittal. Every order includes two revisions.
Plan check comments related to your Title 24 report are not uncommon — building departments sometimes flag items that need clarification, correction, or additional documentation. If you have received corrections related to your energy compliance report, Title24Comply can help you address them quickly.
Why Plan Checkers Flag Title 24 Reports
Most energy comments come down to a mismatch between the report and the plan set, not a failure of the design. Common causes include:
- Window sizes or counts on the plans that differ from the report
- HVAC or water heater equipment that changed after the report was prepared
- Insulation callouts on sections or details that do not match the modeled assemblies
- Conditioned floor area that differs between the plans and the report
- A missing signature, registration number or form the department expects
- Mandatory measures or HERS verification notes not carried onto the plan sheets
Common plan check corrections we handle
- Updating HVAC specifications to match permitted equipment
- Adjusting insulation values to meet jurisdiction-specific requirements
- Rerunning the compliance model to reflect design changes made during plan check
- Correcting or updating registry registration details
- Adding supplemental compliance forms requested by the building department
If a correction changes the energy model, the CF1R is regenerated and, where the project requires registration, re-registered with the data registry. What is CHEERS explains how registration works.
How to get help

How to Avoid Energy Comments Next Time
Keep the plan set and the report in step. Before you submit, compare the window schedule, equipment specs and insulation notes on the plans with the report, and copy the compliance forms onto the plan sheets if your department asks for that. If the design changes, update the report at the same time — see what to do if plans change. Our project-type guides list typical corrections, for example for new homes and garage conversions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does fixing a plan check comment cost extra?
Two revisions are included with every order, and most plan check corrections fall within them. If the comments reflect a change in project scope, such as added square footage, we tell you about any fee before starting.
Can the plan checker ask for something not in the report?
Yes. Some departments add local requirements or ask for specific notes on the plans. Our guides to Title 24 requirements and the Title 24 code explain what the state code covers.
Does a comment mean my design failed?
Rarely. Most comments ask for consistency or missing paperwork. If the model needs to change, Title 24 calculations explains how the energy budget works.
