Rebuilding with Strength and Sustainability

Recovering from a wildfire is challenging, both emotionally and logistically. The rebuilding process isn’t just about replacing what was lost—it’s an opportunity to create stronger, safer, and more resilient communities.

That’s where Gilleran Energy Management, Inc. (GEM) comes in. Rebuilding in California requires thoughtful planning to meet evolving energy and green building standards. With Title 24 energy and the CALGreen regulations shaping construction, sustainability and efficiency are essential for long-term resilience.

For architects, developers, and engineers, the process can be complex. Compliance requirements, energy codes, and sustainability benchmarks add layers of difficulty. GEM simplifies the rebuilding process, providing expertise to ensure projects meet energy standards while maximizing efficiency, comfort, and cost savings. We help industry professionals rebuild with confidence—faster, smarter, and more sustainably.

Why Sustainability Matters More Than Ever

Each wildfire season leaves behind a stark reality—communities must rebuild from the ground up. While speed is critical, overlooking energy efficiency is a costly mistake.

Sustainable buildings reduce operational costs, improve air quality, and increase resilience against future climate challenges. Wildfire survivors and developers have the chance to transform loss into progress by making energy efficiency a priority.

At GEM, we go beyond compliance. We work closely with architects and engineers to integrate energy-efficient and fire damage resistant solutions that enhance long-term performance and savings, ensuring new buildings are not just rebuilt, but rebuilt smarter.

How Gilleran Energy Management, Inc. Supports Architects & Developers

Rebuilding comes with a unique set of challenges—meeting strict energy and green codes, maintaining aesthetic integrity, and keeping costs in check. GEM helps to navigate these demands with expert guidance and efficiency-driven solutions.

Bridging Design and Energy Efficiency

For architects and real estate developers, balancing design vision with energy and green building regulations is crucial. Many  consultants focus solely on compliance, but GEM integrates sustainability strategies without compromising aesthetics. We collaborate with design teams to ensure the proposed solutions complement architectural goals.

Simplifying Title 24 & Energy Code Compliance

California’s Title 24 energy standards are complex, and failing to meet them can cause costly delays. GEM streamlines compliance by handling documentation, optimizing energy strategies, and ensuring smooth permit approvals. Our performance-based compliance approach means we tailor solutions to fit each project’s unique needs.

In addition to Title 24, California’s Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) sets statewide sustainability requirements for residential and non-residential buildings. CALGreen mandates measures such as water efficiency, indoor air quality, and material conservation, helping to reduce environmental impact. GEM ensures your project meets both Title 24 and CALGreen standards, balancing compliance with cost-effective, high-performance building strategies.
