California at a glance

High rents, scarce power and new state rules.

California has less data center capacity than the biggest US markets, but some of the most expensive space and some of the tightest power. That shapes what gets built: upgrades to existing halls, phased projects, and large new campuses away from the Bay Area.

What's being built

Public projects that show the range of work.

From power-limited Silicon Valley buildings to a 330 MW project in Imperial County, California projects differ a lot in size and stage. Each kind puts different demands on the Revit model.

What it means for your Revit work

Five California situations, and the tools that fit each one.

1. Upgrading existing halls for higher density

When power and space cost this much, upgrading existing buildings is a real option alongside building new ones. Upgrades start from old models, often out of date and built with content made for air-cooled racks. Adding liquid cooling means new equipment, new loops and new data on every rack.

What fits:

A model health check on the existing model before design starts ($500 per model)
The Extended Revit kit with CDU, manifold and rear-door heat exchanger families ($6,000)
A liquid cooling layout tool that places CDUs from your engineer's rules (pilot $750–$1,500)

2. Delivering capacity in phases

Power often arrives in steps. In Vernon, the first 6 MW is due in December 2026 and the rest is phased through September 2027. The model has to show which racks, feeds and cooling belong to which phase, and every phase needs its own sheets.

What fits:

Phase parameters on every rack and piece of power and cooling equipment
Load roll-ups per phase, compared with the capacity you enter for that phase
Sheets per phase and per hall, built from one sheet list (pilot $750–$1,500)

3. Large campuses under review

Big projects such as the 330 MW Imperial County proposal can change during environmental review. Equipment counts, schedules and quantities have to stay consistent in every document that's issued.

What fits:

Owner-standard checks that catch missing or duplicate equipment data
Schedules and exports that pull every count from one model, not re-typed tables
Campus copy tools when buildings share a design (add-in $4,000–$15,000)

We don't prepare CEQA documents. Your environmental consultants do. We help keep the model data they rely on consistent.

4. New state reporting rules

AB 1577 requires qualifying data centers to report operational energy and water data, including PUE and WUE, to the California Energy Commission. PUE and WUE are metered operating figures, and a Revit model can't produce them.

What fits:

Clean equipment and capacity data, so your operations and permitting teams start from a correct asset inventory
A handover package with COBie checks and DCIM import files ($2,500–$6,000)

5. Title 24 energy rules

If your project falls under California's Title 24 energy code, your energy consultant decides which requirements apply to your spaces and how your design meets them. That's their call, not ours and not a tool's.

What we build: configurable checks against the Title 24 requirements your energy consultant defines. Your consultant writes the rules. The tool checks the model against them and lists every element that needs a look.

Example checks, set up from your consultant's list:

Air-cooled halls where the containment type field is empty
Cooling equipment missing the fields your consultant needs for their documentation
Rooms tagged as computer rooms with no design load entered

Results are flags for your consultant to review. They aren't a compliance determination, and we never present a tool's output as proof of compliance.

Retrofit example

What changes in the model when a hall moves to liquid cooling.

A direct-to-chip upgrade adds a CDU between the facility water system and a new technology cooling loop, plus manifolds at the racks. In the model, that means new families, new parameters on every affected rack, and new schedules that tie each rack to the CDU that serves it.

Our tools place and schedule that equipment from your mechanical engineer's rules, and compare the CDU capacity value in the model with the connected rack kW so your engineer can review any differences. More on cooling automation

A direct-to-chip loop, simplified. Equipment sizing and flow rates come from your mechanical engineer.

Services that fit

Where we recommend starting on a California project.

Every job has a price agreed in writing before work begins, in US dollars. Prices exclude any applicable taxes.

Your situation	What fits	Starting price	Estimated time
Upgrading an existing hall	Model health check on the current model, then a fix list in priority order	$500 per model	3 business days after access
Adding liquid cooling or high-density racks	Data center Revit kit, Extended tier	$6,000	2–4 weeks
Phased delivery	Phase parameters, load roll-ups and sheets per phase, as a Dynamo or pyRevit pilot	$750–$1,500	1–2 weeks
Many buildings or many halls	Campus copies or sheets per hall as a custom C# add-in	$4,000–$15,000	2–8 weeks
Asset data for operations and reporting teams	Handover package: COBie checks, DCIM import files, mismatch reports	$2,500–$6,000	Set in your scope
Title 24 checks your consultant defines	Configurable model checks, as a pilot	$750–$1,500	1–2 weeks
Ongoing support across phases	Monthly automation retainer	$2,000–$4,000/mo	Month to month

Our tools apply rules and values that your engineer of record provides. Their outputs are drafting and data aids, not engineering calculations, code-compliance reviews or sealed documents. Your licensed professionals review the results and remain responsible for the design.

How we work, step by step

Where is your team?

SS Technologies is a remote company. Before any file changes hands, we confirm in writing our registered entity and where your data would be accessed from, so you can check it against your contract (for example, US-persons-only access, background checks or CUI). If your project restricts who can see files, tell us on the scoping call.

FAQ

Questions California teams usually ask

Do you have an office in California?

No. SS Technologies is a remote company. We serve California teams remotely, with written replies within one US business day and live calls scheduled within US business hours by arrangement.

Can your tools certify that our project meets Title 24?

No tool can do that, and we don't claim it. We build configurable checks against the Title 24 requirements your energy consultant defines. The checks flag elements for your consultant to review. Compliance decisions stay with your licensed professionals.

Can our Revit model produce AB 1577 PUE and WUE numbers?

No. PUE and WUE are metered operating figures, and a Revit model can't produce them. What we can do is give your operations and permitting teams clean equipment and capacity data, so they start from a correct asset inventory.

Have you worked on the projects named on this page?

No. They're public examples of data center work in California, listed with their sources. We never name a client's company or project without written permission.

Can you follow our owner's standard on a California project?

Yes. Owner standards are set by the owner, not the state. Send us the naming, parameter and asset ID rules on the scoping call, and we build tools and checks that follow them.

What's the smallest way to start?

A $500 model health check, or a fixed-price pilot of $750–$1,500 with a written acceptance test. If the pilot doesn't pass the written acceptance test on the agreed Revit version, we fix it at no charge. If it still doesn't pass within 10 business days of your test report, we refund the pilot fee in full. This doesn't cover changes to the scope, the test model or the Revit version after the scope is signed.
