California energy code integrated from the first sketch. Passive solar, HERS ratings, envelope design, and mandatory measures all coordinated into every project.
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.
Complete energy code compliance without consultant coordination fees.
Window to wall ratios, insulation levels, air sealing strategies all optimized early.
Home Energy Rating System verification coordinated with third party raters.
CF-1R forms and all mandatory paperwork for permit submittal.
Glazing orientation, shading calculations, thermal mass integration.
Required provisions for future photovoltaic installation.
Pathway to all electric homes per current code requirements.
Solar orientation, prevailing winds, shading patterns documented.
Wall assemblies, insulation, windows selected for compliance.
System sizing matched to envelope performance.
Title 24 software run to verify compliance before permit submittal.
All required forms and drawings included in permit set.
Third party rater coordinated for final verification.
Title 24 integrated into the design, not bolted on at the end.
