7.A. - Page 216 of 285 2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study <br />4.3 Cost Effectiveness Results -Small Hotel <br />The following issues must be considered when reviewing the Small Hotel results: <br />♦ The Small Hotel is a mix of residential and nonresidential space types, which results in different <br />occupancy and load profiles than the office and retail prototypes <br />♦ A potential laundry load has not been examined for the Small Hotel. The Reach Code Team <br />attempted to characterize and apply the energy use intensity of laundry loads in hotels but did <br />not find readily available data for use. Thus, cost effectiveness including laundry systems has not <br />been examined. <br />Contrary to the office and retail prototypes, the Small Hotel baseline water heater is a central gas <br />storage type. Current compliance software cannot model central heat pump water heater <br />systems with recirculation serving guest rooms.23 The only modeling option for heat pump water <br />heating is individual water heaters at each guest room even though this is a very uncommon <br />configuration. TRC modeled individual heat pump water heaters but as a proxy for central heat <br />pump water heating performance, but integrated costs associated with tank and controls for <br />central heat pump water heating into cost effectiveness calculations. <br />Assuming central heat pump water heating also enabled the inclusion of a solar hot water thermal <br />collection system, which was a key efficiency measure to achieving compliance in nearly all <br />climate zones. <br />Figure 31 through Figure 37 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Small Hotel packages. Notable <br />findings for each package include: <br />♦ 1A — Mixed -Fuel + EE: <br />♦ Packages achieve +3 to +10% compliance margins depending on climate zone. <br />♦ Packages are cost effective using either the On -Bill or TDV approach in all Us except 12 <br />(using SMUD rates), 14 (using SCE rates), and 15 (with SCE rates). <br />♦ The hotel is primarily guest rooms with a smaller proportion of nonresidential space. <br />Thus, the inexpensive VAV minimum flow measure and lighting measures that have been <br />applied to the entirety of the Medium Office and Medium Retail prototypes have a <br />relatively small impact in the Small Hotel. 14 <br />♦ 1B — Mixed -Fuel + EE + PV + B: Packages are cost effective using either the On -Bill or TDV <br />approach in all Us. Solar PV generally increases cost effectiveness compared to efficiency -only, <br />particularly when using an NPV metric. <br />♦ 1C — Mixed -Fuel + HE: Packages achieve +2 to +5% compliance margins depending on climate <br />zone. The package is cost effective using the On -Bill approach in a minority of climate zones, and <br />cost effective using TDV approach only in CZ15. <br />23 The IOUs and CEC are actively working on including central heat pump water heater modeling with recirculation systems in <br />early 2020. <br />24 Title 24 requires that hotel/motel guest room lighting design comply with the residential lighting standards, which are all <br />mandatory and are not awarded compliance credit for improved efficacy. <br />41 <br />2019-07-25 <br />�.: <br />
