Why act now

The PAR deadline is 88 days away — and most buildings aren't ready.

Site assessment → design → quote → installation → commissioning takes 6–12 weeks for a typical commercial building. Buildings that wait until July 2026 will not be compliant by September. The window is closing in real time.
