Comprehensive utility infrastructure and Title 24 energy compliance design for the CHE Duplex, including coordinated plumbing systems and supporting documentation for permit approval.

Project Description

This project delivers a comprehensive utility infrastructure design for the CHE Duplex, including detailed gas line routing, domestic hot and cold water distribution, sewer line layouts, and full Title 24 energy compliance documentation. The Plumbing present complete layouts for both the ground floor and 2nd floor, showing gas line sizing, appliance BTU demand, and routing from the gas meter with seismic shutoff valve details. Domestic water line diagrams include fixture unit calculations, water pressure loss analysis, branch piping charts, insulation requirements, and code-compliant installation notes. Sewer layout sheets display drainage fixture unit totals, venting design, slope requirements, and an isometric diagram to clarify vertical and horizontal sewer routing for both levels of the duplex.

The Title 24 Energy Compliance further supports the project by documenting all energy-related features required under the 2022 California Residential Energy Code. The compliance forms include verified efficiency values for windows, insulation, HVAC performance, water heating efficiency, ductwork requirements, lighting power allowances, and mandatory measures for envelope sealing and mechanical ventilation. Multiple sections of the form certify that the building meets or exceeds required energy performance thresholds, with registered CF1R documentation and HERS verification fields included. These documents ensure that the duplex is fully compliant for permit approval, presenting a coordinated package of plumbing system engineering and state-mandated energy efficiency standards.
