RDH Building Science

California is stepping up its building performance regulations. While the state already requires energy benchmarking, several cities and counties mandate building energy audits to drive deeper energy savings. If you own or manage a commercial or multifamily building over 20,000 sq. ft., your property may be subject to new audit requirements. These audits identify energy efficiency upgrades that reduce costs and improve sustainability. We offer: ·      Comprehensive energy audits to meet compliance ·      Tailored recommendations for efficiency improvements ·      Implementation support to turn insights into action Check out our new blog post to learn more https://lnkd.in/gq6b5VCF or email us at oak@rdh.com.
