COAC is finishing up on a project for Vanden High School in Fairfield, CA., with a lift of VRF equipment on the roof. This new library will take advantage of an advanced variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system that is very energy efficient and low maintenance.
The Unified Group is a national organization of commercial HVAC companies. Founded in August 1998 by a core group of quality driven, independent mechanical contractors. They believed in order to thrive, they needed an organization in which they could work together with other like-minded commercial contractors, while at the same time retaining their independence.
Today, the Unified Group is made up of the best contractors from all over the United States. Through their sharing of information, best practices and training, members are able to provide the finest possible service.
Cooper Oates Air Conditioning is very proud to have been chosen to join this prestigious alliance of mechanical contractors. We will endeavor to continue this tradition and increase the standards of excellence in our industry.

AB-1103, the Commercial Building Energy Benchmarking Regulation, has been delayed until Jan 1, 2014.
On August 14th, the California Energy Commission issued a postponement (again) of AB-1103, the Commercial Building Energy Use Disclosure Program, for buildings 50,000 sq. ft and larger until Jan. 1, 2014. These regulations require building owners to disclose the building’s energy use benchmark score to potential buyers, leasers of the entire building and/or upon refinancing the building. 
Benchmark scores are derived from comparing the energy use profile of your building to that of similar buildings (in size, usage type and location). The postponement is due to the technical problems integrating the national Energy Star Portfolio Manager database with various energy providers.
— For buildings from 10,000 to 50,000 sq. ft. enforcement begins Jan. 1, 2014.
— For buildings from 5,000 to 10,000 sq. ft. enforcement begins July 1, 2014.
