Compliance Services
Three mandates. One team. No surprises.
Energy & Water Benchmarking
Annual ENERGY STAR reporting for AB 802 and EBEWE. We handle data collection, utility coordination, and CEC/LADBS submission — including LA's 20,000 SF threshold most owners miss.
Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit
Licensed structural engineer evaluation, engineered retrofit plans, permitted construction, and final sign-off. One team from screening form to certificate of completion.
ADA Accessibility Surveys
Detailed ADA accessibility surveys with barrier identification, compliance report, and remediation plan. We assess against ADA and California Building Code Chapter 11B standards.
Do I Need This?
Answer three questions about your building.
1. Where is your building?
2. How large is your building?
3. Was it built before 1978 with ground-floor parking?
AB 802 vs. EBEWE — What's the Difference?
Two separate mandates, one June 1 deadline. Most LA owners need both.
| Requirement | AB 802 (Statewide) | EBEWE (LA City) |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Building Size | 50,000 SF | 20,000 SF |
| Tracks | Energy only | Energy + Water |
| Files With | CEC | LADBS |
| Deadline | June 1 annually | June 1 annually |
| Audit Required? | No | Every 5 years |
| PE Required? | No | Yes, for audits |
| Penalty | $500–$2,000/day | $202 + 250% late fee |
| Public Disclosure | Yes | Yes — affects transactions |
