Title 24 energy calculations
Energy reports and calculations prepared for California permit submittals.
California energy compliance
Title 24, CALGreen, and HERS support for California projects.
Reports, forms, testing coordination, and permit questions handled by one direct point of contact.

Energy compliance support before it becomes a plan check problem.
Strata works on the parts of the project where energy code, sustainability requirements, permit review, and field verification meet.
The goal is to catch the assumptions early, prepare the right documents, and keep owners, designers, contractors, and installers working from the same compliance path.
Teams Strata coordinates with before the field work gets expensive.
A practical support map for architects, builders, owners, mechanical contractors, and reviewers who need the same compliance path.

Core services for permit review and field closeout.
Start with the scope you need now, or combine services when the permit and field path are connected.
CALGreen documentation
Forms and requirement tracking for California green building code review.
HERS testing coordination
Scheduling and verification support tied to the approved compliance path.
HVAC permit support
Bundled permit and HERS coordination for contractors that need one contact path.

Project proof
Common project scenarios where early coordination prevents rework.
These examples are anonymous patterns from real permit and closeout workflows. They show the kind of problem Strata helps teams clarify without relying on client names or fabricated testimonials.
When plan check comments exposed missing energy assumptions.
Strata reviewed the plans, aligned envelope and mechanical inputs, and prepared the revised compliance package so the design team could answer comments with one consistent path.
When a contractor needed permit paperwork and field verification coordinated together.
The scope moved forward with equipment details, permit forms, and HERS coordination connected up front instead of handled as separate last-minute tasks.
When documentation had to be organized before final inspection.
Open CALGreen items were translated into a closeout checklist, supporting forms, and clear next actions for the builder before the final inspection window.
When trade coordination needed a cleaner review package.
Mechanical and plumbing notes, equipment assumptions, and plan check responses were coordinated so reviewers and field teams were not working from conflicting information.
The work starts with the decision that affects the permit.
Each step is tied to a specific handoff, so the team knows what is being reviewed and why it matters.
-
Review the project constraints
Plans, property type, timing, and performance goals are reviewed first so the compliance path starts with the right assumptions.
-
Shape the compliance strategy
Title 24, CALGreen, and field requirements are translated into a scope the project team can actually carry through design and construction.
-
Deliver permit-ready documentation
Reports, notes, and supporting documents are prepared for city review and for smoother coordination inside the project team.
-
Support field verification
Testing and inspection are coordinated so the approved path carries through installation, verification, and final closeout.
Useful to the people carrying the work forward.
The best compliance answer is the one the next person on the project can act on.
Strata made the energy compliance side feel straightforward. The notes were clear enough for our team to act on without another round of translation.
The field coordination was practical and responsive. We knew what needed to be verified and what information mattered before it became a delay.
Having one clear point of contact for permit questions and HERS coordination saved time for everyone involved.
Strata helped us understand what the permit reviewer was actually asking for. The response was clear, practical, and kept the project moving without another round of guesswork.
The CALGreen closeout items were organized in a way our field team could actually use. It made the handoff to inspection much less stressful.
When equipment details changed late, Strata helped connect the engineering, Title 24, and HERS implications quickly so we could give the city a clean answer.
Common questions
Before the plans leave your desk.
Answers for teams deciding when to bring Strata in, what to send first, and how the handoff usually works.
When should Strata be brought into a project?
The best time is early in design, while key decisions are still flexible. That makes it easier to shape the Title 24 and CALGreen path before the permit set is locked.
What kinds of properties does Strata support?
Strata supports custom homes, multifamily projects, remodels and additions, and light commercial work in the approved Sacramento, Seattle, and Brentwood service areas.
Does Strata coordinate directly with architects and contractors?
Yes. Strata works directly with architects, builders, contractors, and installers so the compliance scope is easier to carry from design through field verification.
What should a first inquiry include?
Send the property type, project stage, timing, and the main permit or compliance questions. That is enough to review the situation and point you toward the right scope.
Free checklist
Before the Title 24 report starts, gather the details that drive permit questions.
A practical pre-permit checklist for plans, envelope assumptions, HVAC, water heating, HERS coordination, and open city comments.
Start with four details.
Send the project type, city, timing, and the code question. That is enough to identify the next useful step.
