8.113. - Page 38 of 63 <br />Design Rating for the Standard Design Building and the energy <br />consumption calculated for the Proposed Design Building is at least 10 EDR <br />points less than the Total Energy Design Rating calculated for the Standard <br />Design Building. <br />EXCEPTION 1 to Section 150.1(b) 1.C. Buildings with limited solar access <br />are excepted if all of the following are true: <br />1. The Total Energy Design Rating for the Proposed Building is no greater <br />than the Standard Design Building; and <br />2. A photovoltaic (PV) system(s) meeting the minimum qualification <br />requirements as specified in California Energy Code 2019 Joint <br />Appendix JA11 is installed on all available areas of 80 contiguous <br />square feet or more with effective annual solar access. Effective annual <br />solar access shall be 70 percent or greater of the output of an unshaded <br />PV array on an annual basis, wherein shade is due to existing <br />permanent natural or manmade barriers external to the dwelling, <br />including but not limited to trees, hills, and adjacent structures; and <br />3. The Energy Efficiency Energy Design Rating for the Proposed Building <br />is no greater than the respective value for the Standard Design Building <br />by the EDR margin in Table 150.1(b) 1 below. <br />Building <br />Energy <br />Type <br />Efficiency <br />EDR <br />Margin <br />Single <br />2 <br />Family <br />Multifamily <br />0 <br />EXCEPTION 1 to Section 150.1(b)1 A community shared solar electric <br />generation system, or other renewable electric generation system, and/or <br />community shared battery storage system, which provides dedicated <br />power, utility energy reduction credits, or payments for energy bill <br />reductions, to the permitted building and is approved by the Energy <br />Commission as specified in Title 24, Part 1, Section 10-115, may offset part <br />or all of the solar electric generation system Energy Design Rating required <br />to comply with the Standards, as calculated according to methods <br />established by the Commission in the Residential ACM Reference Manual. <br />EXCEPTION 2 to Section 150.1(b) 1 Infeasibility Exception. If an applicant <br />for a covered project believes that circumstances exist that make it <br />infeasible to meet the requirements of this chapter, the applicant may <br />request an exemption. In applying for an exemption, the burden is on the <br />applicant to show infeasibility.
