This webinar provides an overview of the major construction law changes taking effect in California in 2026. Attendees will learn about updates to Title 2, the state’s building code, reflecting California’s continued shift toward energy efficiency, sustainability, and climate resilience.

Topics include requirements for all-electric new construction, expanded EV charging infrastructure, wildfire and overheating prevention standards, and increased accessibility in high-rise projects.
