California Multifamily New Homes Program (CMFNH)
invite developers, builders, contractors, architects, energy consultants, and asset managers to attend a free community workshop from 12:30-2 p.m. on Jan. 25, 2019.
The workshop will be held from 12:30-2 p.m. at the city's Development Services Center located at 39550 Liberty Street in Fremont. Attendees will learn how CMFNH helps builders cost-effectively develop high-performance buildings by providing cash incentives, technical assistance and design charrette coordination to participants. The workshop will also discuss how California's 2019 building code update will affect the industry. CMFNH delivers design assistance and incentives for energy efficient new multifamily buildings. CMFNH developers work with Title 24 consultants to model buildings in comparison to the 2016 Title 24, which took effect in January 2017. To qualify, your project must be in PG&E territory and have three or more attached units per building.
