APP-TECH Incorporated is a firm specializing in Energy Efficient Building Design, Code Compliance & Outdoor Lighting Design. We have been in business since 1982 and are located in Santa Cruz California. Our services include the integrated design of energy-efficient Building Envelope, HVAC, Plumbing, and Lighting Systems for Residential & Commercial buildings. We can show you how your project can cost-effectively meet and exceed California's Title-24 Building Energy Requirements. We specialize in Low Energy/Zero-Net energy & Passive House building design.
Since there have been so many significant changes to the State's outdoor lighting regulations, we have decided to concentrate our design efforts on outdoor lighting. We can assist you in specifying efficient lighting that will meet your design and illumination objectives while complying with the more restrictive demands of the new energy code. We can design and specify lighting for area, pathway, building facad, parking lot, sports field, and other outdoor environments. Our analysis can assure that Code requirements are satisfied while still providing IESNA recomended illumination.
We try to keep up to date on the latest trends in energy efficient building envelope, lighting and mechanical systems. APP-TECH can help you provide an integrated building system design that optimizes energy efficiency while minimizing the owner's annual cost of ownership. Utility Rebate, Energy Star, Green Point and LEED compliance analysis can also be incorporated in our work. These are some of the services that APP-TECH Inc. can provide for your next project.
We can help you incorporate passive solar features in your building designs. Computerized simulations are used to verify our recommendations. Residential buildings can have glazing and thermal mass optimized to maximize winter heating while minimizing Summer or Fall overheating. Commercial buildings can utilize day-lighting techniques to reduce electric lighting while also minimizing cooling loads. To be successful, however, it must be considered in all phases of the project., from decisions on how to orient the building, to design of post construction commissioning procedures.
