Energy code should
not surprise you.

California has one of the most demanding residential energy codes in the country. Title 24 changes every three years and affects building envelope, HVAC design, lighting, water heating, solar readiness, and battery storage provisions.

Most designers treat Title 24 as a consultant problem bolted on at the end. We integrate it from day one. Window to wall ratios. Solar orientation. Insulation levels. HVAC sizing. All of it factors into the design before any line is committed.
