Advanced Home Case Study Program

Through this program, Southern California Gas Company seeks to create a comprehensive case study portfolio of projects structured around three principles: energy, resources and the environment. The program helps builders, architects and designers with a broad base of support, including design assistance, outside expertise, financial incentives, education, resources and recognition.
