Performing the Title 24 Energy Compliance & Documentation, we provide calculations that demonstrate the  building’s compliance with the California Energy Efficiency Standards.

The Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings were established in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California’s energy consumption. Since 1978, within California all new homes, additions and alterations to existing homes and most commercial buildings are required to meet the minimum energy efficiency standards contained in Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations.

The standards are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods. Click here for a sample calculation.

State and federal law give people with disabilities the right to access everyday activities such as: schools, stores, theaters, restaurants, health clubs, museums, hotels and others... by providing "Public Accommodations" referred to in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design - Appendix A of the Title III Regulations.

All facilities, new and existing as well as altered, that serve the public are subject to the ADA and other disability rights laws.

Our firm will ensure that your project comply with the ADA Standards and Building Codes that implement or enforce those standards.

Getting a permit for your project involves numerous steps. Depending on the project, you may be required to get approvals or services from agencies.
