How can RE Pros best serve clients in accurate listings & informing buyers?

Effective Jan 1, 2020, CA’s new Title 24 building code includes the significant requirement of solar on new homes. It also requires a 53% increase in energy efficiency and impacts certain remodel and improvement projects. Just as notable, 2020 marks a major pivot in emphasis going forward; from the long-time goal of net zero energy to carbon-free in congruence with:

1- CA’s greenhouse gas reduction targets
