Green Building in California

If you’re planning to build a home or commercial space in California, you’ll need to meet the requirements of the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). This code requires the integration of sustainable building features, energy-efficient systems, and eco-friendly construction practices. While compliance is essential, it’s also a huge benefit for property owners—green building strategies can lower utility costs, improve comfort, and create healthier indoor environments. The key is knowing what materials, systems, and design strategies to include from the start.

At Rick’s Energy Solutions, Inc., we provide builders, contractors, architects, and property owners with the tools and expertise they need to design and complete energy-efficient buildings across California. Our services range from energy consulting and Title 24 compliance documentation to special inspections and field verification that confirm your project meets CALGreen standards. We also help clients achieve additional certifications, including Build It Green’s GreenPoint Rating, while identifying opportunities for tax credits and long-term energy savings.

For more than a decade, we’ve been committed to advancing sustainable construction in California. Our mission has always been to help projects of every size—from single-family homes to large commercial developments—meet or exceed energy-efficiency goals while staying compliant with California’s evolving building codes. By partnering with Rick’s Energy Solutions, you can feel confident that your project is both environmentally responsible and built for lasting performance.

We welcome the opportunity to work with contractors, designers, and property owners who are ready to make sustainability a core part of their projects. If you have questions about CALGreen compliance, GreenPoint Ratings, or best practices for green building in California, our team is here to help.
