AEE 2015 Annual Conference 5

1. High Performance Attics (HPA)
Roof deck insulation equivalent to R-13 insulation below deck and R-38 ceiling insulation. Insulation choices may include spray foam, batt, or blown-in, and SIP panels. Other options include:
 R-6 continuous insulation with radiant barrier
 Hybrid roofing systems combining insulation and higher roof reflectance
 Ducts in conditioned space (DCS)
 Ducts in sealed or unvented attics
2. High Performance Walls (HPW)
R19 cavity + R5 Continuous Insulation – U-Factor (Approx 0.051). Other options include:
 2x4 @ 16” OC, R15 + R-8 CI (0.051)
 2x6 @ 24” OC, R19 + R-5 CI (0.049)
 2x6 @ 24” OC, R21 + R-4 CI (0.048)
 Staggered studs with batt insulation or spray foam
 Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs)
3. Instantaneous (Tankless) Water Heaters – basis with Energy Factor of 0.82
4. High Efficacy Lighting & Controls in kitchens & throughout the house (essentially eliminates incandescent by mandating pin-based lamps and expanding types of spaces req controls)
Nos 1 & 2 may be traded in most climate zones by installing a solar PV system capped at 2 kW
AEE 2015 Annual Conference 6

Nonresidential Measures Mostly to Stay In-line With ASHRAE 90.1 National Standards:
* Controls and other measures related to Lighting Alterations/Retrofit was vociferously protested by certain labor/trade groups. CEC is holding further public review (Aug 12) and this section (Title 24, Part 6, Sections
141.0(b)2I, J, K, and L) will be folded into the current adoption without requiring a new rulemaking.
AEE 2015 Annual Conference 7

Nonresidential Lighting Alternation Provisions Draft/Not Approved to Date
The Statewide IOU EC&S & EE Incentive programs teams worked closely with the CEC to update the 2013 provisions
Lighting Alteration Provisions Comparison
Measure
T-24 is triggered at what level of lighting modifications?
When new control is installed, acceptance tests required at how many luminaires?
Luminaire replacement and modifications can comply by installing auto-shut-off controls and area switches and by reducing power at what percentage?
2013
40 + greater than 10% of luminaires modified in a room
Code is ambiguous for lighting alterations and mod in place but manual requires acpt testing
Not by installed power reduction but if alteration or modification results in power in space being < 85% of area category LPD
2016
70 + greater than 2 luminaires modified in a room
20
Alterations 35% or reduce LPD to
< 85% of area category LPD
Are daylighting controls and dimming controls required?
Yes if installed LPD > 85% of area category LPD
No if installed LPD < 85% of area category LPD
Mod in place 35% or LPD < area category LPD
Lighting alterations
Yes if installed LPD > 85% of area category LPD
No if installed LPD < 85% of area category LPD
Modifications - No
• Streamlines & simplifies standard compared to 2013 standard
• Expected energy savings to the tune of 74 GWh/yr. Comparable to savings from high efficacy lighting in the residential new construction standards
AEE 2015 Annual Conference 8

Nonresidential Lighting Alternation Provisions
The CEC withdrew its adoption of the provisions at its Business Meeting on
August 12. Most likely due to fierce opposition from labor groups (IBEW, NECA, and LMCC)* lobbying through the Governor’s office.
Support
• The IOUs, including SCE are generally supportive, although none provided any written comments
• EcologyAction, who works closely with SCE EE Program folks expressed support
• The city & county of San Francisco, Davis, & Stanford University expressed support
• Also in support are numerous small lighting installers
Oppose
• Besides Big Labor, LADWB and some lighting installers and consultants opposed the provisions
• Several lighting manufacturers opposed the provisions but would support them if their suggested changes are incorporated
*IBEW: International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
NECA: National Electrical Contractors Association
LMCC: Labor Management Cooperation Committee
AEE 2015 Annual Conference 9

Very little opposition because of the Drought
Adopted by the CEC: August 12, 2015 by a vote of five to zero
Bathroom Faucets :
 1.5 gallons per minute flow rate (effective Sep 1, 2015)
 1.2 gallons per minute flow rate (effective Jul 1, 2016)
Shower Heads :
 2.0 gallons per minute maximum flow rate (effective Jul 1, 2016)
 1.8 gallons per minute maximum flow rate (effective Jul 1, 2018)
Current rules, established in 1994 at the federal level, allow a maximum flow of 2.5 gallons per minute from a shower head.
CEC: After a full turnover of shower head and faucet stocks by 2029, the regulations are expected to save 38 billion gallons of water, 20.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 1,322 gigawatt hours of electricity
(including embedded energy)

Zero Net Energy : Residential by 2020 and Nonresidential by 2030
Current Official Definition: “
A ZNE Code Building is one where the net amount of energy produced by on-site renewable energy resources is equal to the value of the energy consumed annually by the building, at the level of a single ‘project’ seeking development entitlements and building code permits, measured using the CEC’s Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) metric. A ZNE Code Building meets an
Energy Use Intensity value designated in the Building Energy Efficiency Standards by building type and climate zone that reflect best practices for highly efficient buildings.
”
Governor Brown’s ZNE goals – focused on ZNE building code requirement by 2020 for newly constructed residential buildings – Get there in 3 code cycles (2013, 2016, 2019)!
Key element is TDV!
Time Dependent Valuation (TDV)
1.
Value of gas and electricity changes depending on the season and the time of day
2.
8,760 TDV multipliers for each hour of the year
3.
Favors measures that save energy during high demand periods

2016 Changes to Title 24 Residential Lighting Requirements
The residential lighting requirements in Title 24 are mandatory requirements and do not show up in the performance approach except as default values and thus is not able to be traded off. This has not changed in 2016.
The 2016 standards have been significantly simplified as there is no longer any calculation of lighting wattage, the requirements are simple
-- all lighting has to be high efficacy and if the light source is LED or is a lamp with a base that was traditionally incandescent (Edison screw base, halogen GU-11 or GU-5.6 etc) then the lamp must comply with Joint Appendix JA8 labelled “JA8-2016” – this essentially requires a high quality, LED source. The requirement for JA8 lamps are complex but that is something the manufacturers will figure out similar to the complex requirements for ENERGY STAR®, the consumer and the building official only need look for the JA8-2016 label on the lamp.

1 The general hardscape area of a site shall include parking lot(s), roadway(s), driveway(s), sidewalk(s), walkway(s), bikeway(s), plaza(s), bridge(s), tunnel(s), and other improved area(s) that are illuminated.
2 LZ1 = Government designated parks, recreation areas, and wildlife preserves. Those that are wholly contained within a higher lighting zone may be considered by the local government as part of that lighting zone.
LZ2 = Rural areas, as defined by the 2000 U.S. Census
LZ3 = Urban areas, as defined by the 2000 U.S. Census
LZ4 = high-activity commercial districts in major metropolitan areas
*3 Continuous lighting is explicitly prohibited in Lighting Zone 0. A single luminaire of 15 Watts or less may be installed at an entrance to a parking area, trail head, fee payment kiosk, outhouse, or toilet facility, as required to provide safe navigation of the site infrastructure. Luminaires installed in Lighting Zone 0 shall meet the maximum zonal lumen limits for Uplight and Glare specified in Table 130.2-A and 130.2-B.
4 For Lighting Zone 2 and 3, where greater than 50% of the paved surface of a parking lot is finished with concrete, the AWA for that area shall be 0.035 W/ft2 for
Lighting Zone 2 and 0.040 W/ft2 for Lighting Zone 3, and the LWA for both lighting zones shall be 0.70 W/lf. This does not extend beyond the parking lot, and does not include any other General Hardscape areas.
