Your warehouse has a number. Can you defend it?
Every warehouse over 100,000 SF in the South Coast AQMD region carries a modeled WAIRE Points Compliance Obligation under SCAQMD Rule 2305 — and in 2026 the rule reaches full stringency. Model yours on the worksheet. Then make it defensible.
2026 · AV = 1.0
Computed with the Rule 2305 public formula: WPCO = WATTs × 0.0025 × Annual Variable (2026 = 1.0); mitigation-fee basis $1,000 / point + 6.25% admin. SF-based estimates are a floor — Class-8-heavy operations run materially higher. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted.
Which seat do you hold?
You file the AWR. The obligation lands on you.
If you operate ≥ 100,000 SF with ≥ 50,000 SF in warehousing activity, Rule 2305 models your obligation from your truck visits — whether or not you control the roof, the yard, or the lease. The screening positions your evidence file: what applies, what’s missing, and what a defensible number looks like before your next Annual WAIRE Report.
The rule gives the owner a seat at the table.
Under Rule 2305 §(d)(6)(C), a facility or land owner may earn WAIRE points and transfer them to the operator — solar on your roof, charging in your yard, filtration nearby. If your tenants trigger obligations, your building is either a liability passed through the lease, or the supply side of their compliance. The screening maps which one yours is.
You hold both sides of the equation.
You carry the operator’s obligation and the owner’s assets. Every point your roof and yard can generate is a point you don’t buy at $1,000 each — and 2026 is the first year the WAIRE Mitigation Program funds the underlying equipment. This is the strongest position on the board, and the screening exists to tell you exactly how strong.
Two clocks are running.
Full stringency is no longer coming. It’s here.
The Annual Variable reached 1.0 for every warehouse-size phase. The phase-in is over. Operators entering the AWR window with partial data carry ranged exposures their CFO and counsel cannot resolve in 30 days.
The first-ever WAIRE Mitigation portal — late August 2026.
First-come, first-served, ring-fenced by Source Receptor Area. Facilities with zero-emission CapEx aligned to the eligible categories have one defined window to apply through a grant-writer partner. The file must be ready before the portal opens, not after.
From modeled number to defensible number.

A confidential conversation with our Managing Principal: what Rule 2305 means for a facility like yours, the typical exposure range for your size class, and the evidence position behind a defensible number.
You receive a written framework1-page PDF · ≤ 24h after the call
What you told us, the range we indicated, the documentation steps toward a defensible position, and which professionals — counsel, PE, CPA — to engage at the right moments.
If you engage, this is what you hold.
A bound, source-anchored evidence file — not a slide deck.
The typical first deliverable is the Capacity Readiness File: your modeled obligation, your supportable-points inventory, your residual exposure, your Infrastructure Maturity Score, and pathway-by-pathway feasibility against the 2026 schedule — every figure traceable to a source your counsel, CPA, and PE can stand behind.
Anchored to your Annual WAIRE Report cycle. Models the obligation and the evidence position to defend it.
Anchored to the Mitigation Year 1 window. Structures the file that feeds your grant-writer partner’s application.
Seven ways to earn points. We position all seven.
Solar
The roof is the asset — ~800 kW per 100,000 SF, ~15 points per 100 kW. Storage rides the same system.
ZE charging infrastructure
EVSE — purchase, construction, energization. Leased EVSE qualifies.
Use of ZE / NZE trucks
Per-visit points by qualifying truck — stacks without warehouse CapEx.
Acquire ZE / NZE on-road trucks
Purchase, lease, or rent · Class 2b–8 · points at order, delivery, in-service.
Zero-emission yard trucks
Terminal tractors, hostlers, switchers — acquisition and use both count.
Filtration for sensitive receptors
MERV-16 at schools, daycares, hospitals within ~1,000 ft. Underused, low cost, visible.
ZE fueling infrastructure
Hydrogen fueling for fuel-cell trucks — a single H₂ station carries 1,680 points.
Several pathways keep paying after the points land. A 100,000 SF roof yields roughly 1.2 GWh a year — power that offsets utility spend long after the compliance obligation is met — and charging infrastructure serves fleet operations every day thereafter. Which pathways pay back at your facility is exactly what the screening maps. Modeled and site-specific — not a financial projection.
Make it defensible.
