7.A. - Page 176 of 285 2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study 1 Introduction The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) (CEC, 2019) is maintained and updated every three years by two state agencies: the California Energy Commission (the Energy Commission) and the Building Standards Commission (BSC). In addition to enforcing the code, local jurisdictions have the authority to adopt local energy efficiency ordinances—or reach codes—that exceed the minimum standards defined by Title 24 (as established by Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(h)2 and Section 10-106 of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards). Local jurisdictions must demonstrate that the requirements of the proposed ordinance are cost-effective and do not result in buildings consuming more energy than is permitted by Title 24. In addition, the jurisdiction must obtain approval from the Energy Commission and file the ordinance with the BSC for the ordinance to be legally enforceable. This report was developed in coordination with the California Statewide Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) Codes and Standards Program, key consultants, and engaged cities—collectively known as the Reach Code Team. This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state requirements for design in newly -constructed nonresidential buildings. Buildings specifically examined include medium office, medium retail, and small hotels. Measures include energy efficiency, solar photovoltaics (PV), and battery storage. In addition, the report includes a comparison between a baseline mixed -fuel design and all -electric design for each occupancy type. The Reach Code team analyzed the following seven packages as compared to 2019 code compliant mixed - fuel design baseline: ♦ Package 1A – Mixed -Fuel + Energy Efficiency (EE): Mixed -fuel design with energy efficiency measures and federal minimum appliance efficiencies. ♦ Package 1B – Mixed -Fuel + EE + PV + Battery (B): Same as Package 1A, plus solar PV and batteries. ♦ Package 1C – Mixed -fuel + High Efficiency (HE): Baseline code -minimum building with high efficiency appliances, triggering federal preemption. The intent of this package is to assess the standalone contribution that high efficiency appliances would make toward achieving high performance thresholds. ♦ Package 2 – All -Electric Federal Code -Minimum Reference: All -electric design with federal code minimum appliance efficiency. No solar PV or battery. ♦ Package 3A – All -Electric + EE: Package 2 all -electric design with energy efficiency measures and federal minimum appliance efficiencies. ♦ Package 3B – All -Electric + EE + PV + B: Same as Package 3A, plus solar PV and batteries. ♦ Package 3C – All -Electric + HE: All -electric design with high efficiency appliances, triggering federal preemption. Figure 1 summarizes the baseline and measure packages. Please refer to Section 3 for more details on the measure descriptions. 2019-07-25 428
