7.A. - Page 225 of 285 2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study <br />4.4 Cost Effectiveness Results - PV -only and PV+Battery <br />The Reach Code Team ran packages of PV -only and PV+Battery measures, without any additional <br />efficiency measures, to assess cost effectiveness on top of the mixed -fuel baseline building and the all - <br />electric federal code minimum reference (Package 2 in Sections 4.1— 4.3). <br />Jurisdictions interested in adopting PV -only reach codes should reference the mixed -fuel cost <br />effectiveness results because a mixed -fuel building is the baseline for the nonresidential prototypes <br />analyzed in this study. PV or PV+Battery packages are added to all -electric federal code minimum <br />reference which (in many scenarios) do not have a positive compliance margin compared to the mixed - <br />fuel baseline model, and are solely provided for informational purposes. Jurisdictions interested in reach <br />codes requiring all-electric+PV or all-electric+PV+battery should reference package 3B results in Sections <br />4.1-4.3.25 <br />Each of the following eight packages were evaluated against a mixed fuel baseline designed as per 2019 <br />Title 24 Part 6 requirements. <br />♦ Mixed -Fuel + 3 kW PV Only: <br />♦ Mixed -Fuel + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh battery <br />♦ Mixed -Fuel + PV Only: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the annual electricity <br />consumption, whichever is smaller <br />♦ Mixed -Fuel + PV + 50 kWh Battery: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the <br />annual electricity consumption, whichever is smaller, along with 50 kWh battery <br />♦ All -Electric + 3 kW PV Only <br />♦ All -Electric + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery <br />♦ All -Electric + PV Only: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the annual electricity <br />consumption, whichever is smaller <br />♦ All -Electric + PV + 50 kWh Battery: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the <br />annual electricity consumption, whichever is smaller, along with 50 kWh battery <br />Figure 38 through Figure 40 summarize the on -bill and TDV B/C ratios for each prototype for the two PV <br />only packages and the two PV plus battery packages. Compliance margins are 0 percent for all mixed -fuel <br />packages. For all -electric packages, compliance margins are equal to those found in Package 2 for each <br />prototype in Sections 4.1— 4.3. The compliance margins are not impacted by renewables and battery <br />storage measures and hence not shown in the tables. These figures are formatted in the following way: <br />♦ Cells highlighted in green have a B/C ratio greater than 1 and are cost-effective. The shade of <br />green gets darker as cost effectiveness increases. <br />♦ Cells not highlighted have a B/C ratio less than one and are not cost effective. <br />25 Because this study shows that the addition of battery generally reduces cost effectiveness, removing a battery <br />measure would only increase cost effectiveness. Thus, a jurisdiction can apply the EE+PV+Battery cost effectiveness <br />findings to support EE+PV reach codes, because EE+PV would still remain cost effective without a battery. <br />50 © 2019-07-25 <br />477 <br />
