LOCAL MARKET

Tenant improvement glazing across Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a region of many cities, each with its own building department. The first question on any job is which one has jurisdiction.

California’s Title 24 energy code sets performance requirements for exterior glass, including thermal and solar properties, and documentation is part of the permit.

Seismic movement affects how glass and framing are detailed, especially on taller buildings and larger glass walls.
