Authority Having Jurisdiction: San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (SF DBI)
Building Code: 2022 CBC / San Francisco Building Code
Energy Code: 2022 California Energy Code + SF local energy ordinance (Reach Codes)
Local Market: SF's tech office, restaurant, and mixed-use residential market requires MEP engineering that handles both the 2022 CEC all-electric mandates and SF's additional local reach codes.
Climate & Engineering Conditions: Zone 3C coastal; mild year-round climate strongly favors heat pump systems; cooling loads are minimal, heating loads moderate — heat pump COP is excellent year-round.
