Construction Cost Savings
Since 2006, Gallant Energy Consulting has generated
over $1.1 million in reduced construction costs and utility
incentives related to Title 24 documentation for California
developers. These construction cost savings and utility
incentives were achieved on the projects listed below for which Gallant Energy Consulting
did not prepare the original Title 24 reports submitted for
building permits.
Recently we have reviewed several projects for construction cost reduction with the new stricter 2005 Title 24 energy code.
