Climate
Among the hotter cities we serve. Ventilation and color choice are not cosmetic. Low-slope school and commercial work is common.
Homes and buildings
Mix of older town, 1970s tracts, and new growth toward UC Merced.
Cool roof and energy
Cool assemblies show up often on permits here. We verify the current requirement.
Permits
City of Merced. Campus-adjacent work may have extra access rules. This is general information, not legal advice. The building department has the last word.
