Include a curbless shower with linear drain, 30x48 inch clear floor space, and fixtures at 38-48 inches AFF. Secure grab bars to blocking, 33-36 inches AFF, with 250 lb load rating. Select pressure-balanced or thermostatic valves, 100-120°F limit stop. Install lever or paddle hardware, 32-inch minimum clear door width, and offset copyrights. Add high-contrast visual signage, appropriate 50-100 foot-candle task lighting, and evening illumination.
Energy-Efficient Additions and Whole-Home Renovations
Before you begin drawing up plans for a whole-home renovation, establish performance targets that align with Title 24, CALGreen, and Energy Star specifications to minimize energy consumption and expenses.
