Commercial tenant improvements across California: the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and Sacramento
Commercial HVAC for California Tenant Improvements
Duct redesign, zoning, ventilation and rooftop equipment for California build-outs, with Title 24 mechanical compliance and seismic anchorage.
Climate varies by region
California HVAC needs vary dramatically. Coastal San Francisco and San Diego need modest cooling, the Inland Empire, Fresno and Sacramento face long hot summers, and South Lake Tahoe and Chico see real winters. We size equipment for the actual location and use.
- Rooftop unit evaluation and replacement
- Duct redesign and zoning
- Outdoor air and ventilation
- Restroom and specialty exhaust
- Test and balance
Title 24 mechanical
California’s energy code governs equipment efficiency, economizers, controls and duct sealing, and many mechanical changes need acceptance testing before final.
Seismic anchorage
Rooftop units, ductwork and suspended equipment must be anchored and braced for earthquakes. Equipment replacements often need new anchorage details on the drawings.
