Subject: PROGRAM PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY

OF BEVERLY HILLS AND THE CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE OF

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR ITS REACH CODE PROGRAM

FOR BUILDING AND TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION
Attachments: 1. Program Participation Agreement

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council approve the Program Participation Agreement with the Clean Power Alliance’s Reach Code Program for Building and Transportation Electrification, authorizing the City to receive no-cost technical support to explore building reach code options tailored to Beverly Hills, and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents related to the Program Participation Agreement, including any future amendments or administrative actions required for program implementation.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Beverly Hills is evaluating options for building energy and electric vehicle reach codes as a strategy to reduce communitywide greenhouse gas emissions. Reach codes are local building ordinances that exceed and enhance the state’s building standards to support local government’s GHG emission reduction efforts. In 2024, the City entered into an agreement with the Clean Power Alliance to participate in their New Building Reach Code and Transportation Electrification Program. The agreement covers reach code feasibility for new and substantially remodel projects. Staff would like to expand on the consultant’s scope of work and evaluate a Heat Pump (HP) to HVAC reach code option for existing buildings without a major remodel. Existing building reach codes are not mandatory retrofitting of all existing buildings, but rather applicable to projects meeting a specific remodel threshold. The Clean Power Alliance (CPA) requires a separate participation agreement for existing buildings and a City Council directive to proceed with Meeting Date: May 19, 2026

participation agreement for existing buildings and a City Council directive to proceed with this assessment. The assessment will determine feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and streamlining with building code and permitting.

DISCUSSION
At the April 22, 2025 City Council meeting, Council adopted the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. Beverly Hills’ Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) is the City’s roadmap to prepare for climate impacts (resiliency), progress towards carbon neutrality, improve environmental health and quality of life, and position the City as a leader in implementing necessary climate action and resiliency.

The CAAP outlines measures to reduce the City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across various sectors including the building sector. Based on the most recent Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory, energy used in buildings accounts for 46 percent of communitywide GHG emissions and the second largest source of emissions in Beverly Hills. In the CAAP, the City identified six foundational measures that have the greatest potential GHG emissions reduction, including carbon-free energy reach code and existing building decarbonization.

Since the adoption of the CAAP, the City has been implementing the foundational measures and additional key strategies including:
 Maintaining high participation (97%) in the Clean Power Alliance 100% Green Power option;
 Launching PowerOn BH, the electrical resiliency pilot program, for technical assistance for on-site solar, battery storage, and energy efficiency;  Preliminary assessments to expand the public EV charger network to support communitywide adoption of transportation electrification;  Developing community outreach material and public education for the CAAP and sustainability programs;
 Implementing the requirements for Senate Bill 1383 compliance to reduce methane emissions from organic waste;
 Implementing the City’s Single Use Plastics Regulations to further reduce nonrecyclable materials ending up in the landfill;  Reducing outdoor and indoor water consumption by implementing water customer portal WaterSmart; and
 Collaborating with Southern California Edison to upgrade the electrical system for resiliency.

Most of the building-related emissions are attributable to the existing building stock.

Existing building stock is less energy efficient than new buildings. Decarbonizing existing buildings is critical to meeting carbon neutrality goals of the CAAP. Based on early projections from the CAAP assessment, existing building decarbonization has the potential to reduce communitywide GHG emissions by 11,868 MT CO2e by 2030 and upwards 59,215 MT CO2e by 2045.

Upon the CAAP adoption, staff proceeded with implementation of the CAAP foundational strategies and began assessing reach codes for new construction. The City initially enrolled in the CPA’s Reach Code Program to provide staff with technical support for energy reach code options for new construction, which included substantial remodels Meeting Date: May 19, 2026

greater than 50 percent. Staff has been working with the CPA’s consultants over the past year. With the adoption of the 2025 California Green Building Code and some initial assessments, there is a potential to implement an existing building reach code for remodel projects less than 50 percent that require electrical upgrades. These types of projects provide opportunities to install more energy efficient systems compared to traditional cooling and heating systems. Therefore, there will be greenhouse gas emission reduction benefits. Existing building reach codes are not mandatory retrofitting of all existing buildings, but rather only applicable to certain remodels that require electrical upgrades.

In order to utilize the CPA’s free consulting program, the CPA requires the City to enter into the Building Reach Code Program Participation Agreement. The participation agreement will allow the City to benefit from the no-cost consulting program to explore existing building reach codes and tailor to Beverly Hills. The assessment will assist the City with understanding of feasibility and cost-effectiveness in Beverly Hills. The participation agreement does not require the City to adopt a building reach code ordinance. If the results of the assessment are not favorable, staff would not pursue an energy reach code.

Additionally, the CPA program offers a financial award of up to $25,000 that the City is eligible to apply for if the City meets the agreement requirements. The funding supports implementation of the reach code, including outreach materials and community engagement.

Staff informed the Public Works Commission on its intent to request City Council to approve the CPA participation agreement. Any proposed reach codes will require staff to conduct community engagement, solicit stakeholder feedback, and present the findings of the assessment to the Public Works Commission and Planning Commission for recommendation for City Council consideration.

To continue the City’s assessment of reach code options, staff recommends City Council approve the Program Participation Agreement with the Clean Power Alliance’s Reach Code Program for Building and Transportation Electrification.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no direct costs to the City associated with entering into the Program Participation Agreement with the Clean Power Alliance’s Reach Code Program, as all technical support services provided under the agreement are funded by the CPA and its consultants at no charge to member agencies.

What are reach codes?
A reach code is a local building energy code that reaches" beyond or exceeds the state minimum requirements for energy use in building design and construction. They are adopted by city councils and county boards of supervisors with input from builders. contractors. and community members.

Reach codes typically promote that a new building be constructed with additional EV charging locations. electric water heating. space heating. cooking.or other appliances and that existing buildings receive upgrades at specific points like time-of-sale or when an old appliance is replaced.

Docusign Envelope ID: 0DF3DD77-8DB9-4B51-ACC6-45033A752CFA Why establish reach codes?
Reach codes are a cost-effective way for city and county governments to align with state climate neutrality goals, increase EV adoption, improve air quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their communities. Furthermore, CPA customers receive additional GHG benefits from higher renewable content electricity as more fossil fuels are switched to electricity.
4program benefits
This program leverages technical expertise from other California Community Choice Aggregators {CCAs). stakeholders like Southern California Edison (SCE). and contractors who work closely with each member agency. Model codes and presentation templates will ease the workload for member agencies to pursue reach codes. The program will also help participants perform public outreach and building contractor education to ensure support for the codes they seek to pass.
4 Member agency financial support
CPA is providing financial support to cover your agency's staff time while pursuing reach codes. These benefits will range from $2.500 - $25.000.
