Recommended Ordinance Overview:

Require non-residential and multifamily PV systems to offset 50 percent of projected electricity use if roof space is sufficient; or cover at least 50 percent of rooftop space for buildings where a 50 percent offset of building electricity usage by a PV array is not possible.

Ordinance aspect: Require non-residential and multifamily PV systems to offset 50 percent of projected electricity use if roof space is sufficient, or cover at least 50 percent of rooftop space for buildings where a 50 percent offset of building electricity usage by a PV array is not possible. Exclude any specific exemptions.

Reasoning: This ordinance presents a hybrid-model between mandated percentages for roof size and energy spend, allowing for flexibility, while maximizing GHG reduction and local renewable energy production.

Ordinance aspect: Physical infeasibility waiver (e.g., shading, vegetation, other structures). Burden falls on project applicant to prove infeasibility.

Reasoning: Adopting 50 percent of roof space for PV arrays allows for flexibility for projects that cannot offset 50 percent of their gross sf energy spend via rooftop PV alone, which is consistent with Glendale’s urban environment building stock and potentially limited roof size.

PV maximum and minimum size arrays are shown to be cost-effective when compared with a mixed-fuel scenario in both Glendale climate zones for both residential and non-residential buildings (Local Energy Codes Cost Effectiveness Explorer 2022)3. Separate cost effectiveness study for just PV may be requested through Local Codes and Standards Team.

Ordinance aspect: Infeasibility waiver.

Reasoning: An infeasibility waiver process places the burden on the project applicant or developer to show that a PV array offsetting 50 percent of electricity demand or taking up 50 percent of total roof space is impossible (e.g., shading, vegetation, topography). Rincon suggests a hybrid approach between City of Mountain View (percent requirement of roof space) and City of Oceanside (percent requirement of energy spend).

Case Study | 2019 City of Mountain View; PV System on
Major High-Rise Multifamily or Non-Residential Projects Pathway 1: Title 24 Subsection 101.10 Amendment
Ordinance Requirements
▪ Amends Chapters 8, 14, and 24 of the City Code as well as Title 24, also satisfies CEC cost- effectiveness requirements.
▪ High-rise multifamily new construction: install PV on 50 percent of roof area. ▪ Non-residential new construction: install PV on 50 percent of roof area.

Financing and Enforcement
▪ The return on PV installation and energy generation can be highly variable. However, there are federal tax credits available that can be leveraged to help limit the cost to developers and improve the return on the PV investment.

Exceptions
▪ A project may submit an exception by providing documentation that the required percentage of PV would produce more electricity than is required to operate the building annually (both high-rise residential and non-residential) (City of Mountain View 2019).

3 There is no PV-only scenario assessed under the Cost-Effectiveness Explorer Tool for residential buildings, so a dedicated solar PV study may need to be requested from the local codes and standards team. 157 of 199

EV Charging
EV Charging Overview
We understand that the City is also exploring options to increase EV adoption and improve access to EV chargers. Charging infrastructure for EVs is still in the early stages of development and is therefore, limited in availability. Besides the upfront cost of the EV itself, the largest barrier to entry for widespread EV adoption is accessibility to charging infrastructure. In March 2012, Governor Brown issued Executive Order (EO) B-16-12 directing the state government to accelerate the adoption of zero- emissions vehicles (ZEV) in California. This EO established a goal of 1.5 million (M) ZEVs by 2025. In January 2018, Governor Brown signed EO B-48-18, establishing a target for 250,000 Level 2 EV chargers and 10,000 Direct Current (DC) Fast Chargers4 to support the 1.5M ZEVs goal by 2025 and new goal of 5M ZEVs by 2030. New EV charging infrastructure will play an important role in supporting the growing EV fleet in California, as installing charging infrastructure in new buildings is significantly less expensive than retrofitting existing buildings.

EV charging infrastructure requirements are subject to CALGreen regulatory standards which are set forth in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. They are updated on a 3-year cycle, and the 2022 CALGreen requirements are set to be released in July 2022. The CALGreen standards include required standards for new developments, as well as two sets of voluntary standards, Tier 1, and Tier 2, that are more ambitious. In April 2022, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) released a report outlining design elements necessary for a project to be consistent with California’s long-term climate goals. BAAQMD is one of the only air quality management districts that has done analysis of the 2022 CALGreen mandatory EV charging infrastructure requirements. BAAQMD’s finds that while 2022

4 DC Fast Chargers are the most advanced form of EV charging units to date, ranked ahead of Level 1 and Level 2 charging units and requiring advanced infrastructure for construction and deployment. These chargers typically provide 125-1,000 miles of charge per hour and are the most expensive charging unit on the market to date.

CALGreen EV charging infrastructure mandatory requirements ensure that charging infrastructure needs of 2025 are met, current mandatory requirements will not sufficiently meet long-term state climate goals. Therefore, the BAAQMD recommends adopting the more aggressive CALGreen Tier 2 voluntary standards to support charging needs after 2025 (BAAQMD 2022). Many California jurisdictions are adopting voluntary reach codes to increase EV charging requirements and help the state meet its long- term climate goals.

Policy Pathways for EV Infrastructure
The City could choose either a municipal code or a local amendment to Part 11 of the building code.

While Rincon has found that building code amendments are more common, several cities have used municipal codes for EV requirements. Since no cost-effectiveness study is required for EV charging reach codes, there is little difference between a municipal ordinance and a building code amendment. Rincon suggests using whichever pathway is chosen for the other ordinances/reach codes.

Benefits of Adopting at Least CALGreen Code Tier 2 Voluntary Standards Avoid Retrofit Costs
According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), installing EV charging infrastructure in a new building can save an estimated $7,000 to $8,000 per parking space compared with retrofitting it later (CARB 2019).

Increase Equity
Providing access to more Level 2 chargers in workplace and public locations allows residents of multifamily households with ZEVs to charge more easily especially if they do not have access to parking at home (BAAQMD 2022).

Maximize GHG-Emission Reductions
Adopting the suggested code changes for a 10 percent EV-Capable requirement for EV charging infrastructure would lead to an estimated total 690,000 to 820,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent reduction over a 4-year time frame (CARB 2019).

EV Charging Units
To be able to develop an ordinance that will best support EV adoption, minimize cost impacts, and avoid inequities, it is necessary to understand the different EV charging options. There are three standardized levels of EV charging facilities that provide charge at different rates. These include Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chargers, which are summarized in Table 3 and further described below.

Sources: (Drive Clean 2021) (U.S. Department of Energy 2021) (Western Planner 2019) Level 1
Level 1 chargers are the most basic approach to EV charging and are considered slow charging, operating on a 15- to 20-amp breaker on a 120-volt AC circuit, which is standard for most household outlets. Level 1 chargers are typically the least expensive EV charger, ranging from $300 to 600 for the parts before labor, and $1,000 to $1,700 with cost of installation (Carvana 2021). This level of charger provides approximately 3 to 4 miles per hour of charge and typically takes 8 to 12 hours to reach full charge. As a result, Level 1 chargers are typically used and best suited for residential properties, such as single-family homes, condos, or multifamily units. However, as a result of many units and limited parking space in bigger, high-rise multifamily units, not every resident of this land use type may have access to overnight charging, raising equity concerns of EV charging accessibility.

Level 2
Level 2 chargers are the next step up from Level 1, operating on a 40- to 100-amp breaker on a 208- or 240-volt alternating current (AC) circuit, which is typical of the energy use exhibited by electric clothes driers. CARB staff estimate that the cost of non-residential new construction for a raceway and 40-amp, 208/240-volt panel capacity per space is between $870 to $960 (CARB 2019). Including installation, Level 2 chargers may see costs range between $2,000 to $5,000 for a non-networked charger and $4,500 to $9,000 for a networked charger (Carvana 2021). A networked charger implies enhanced connectivity to the grid and may include smart power management to share electrical capacity, avoiding expensive infrastructure upgrades and allowing the user to manage rates of charge. Additional cost variables may include an electrical panel or transformer upgrade or trenching distance from a similar panel. A non- networked charger may be more typical for a single-family home where electrical demand is more uniform and more easily managed. These chargers feature a unique electrical outlet for the car connection, providing 25 to 30 miles per hour of charge and taking 3 to 4 hours to fully charge an EV.

Due to their enhanced charging rate, Level 2 chargers are typically used by both residential and commercial service properties.

Level 3
To date, Level 3 chargers, also referred to as DC Fast Chargers, are the most advanced form of EV charging infrastructure. Operating on a 60- to 400-amp breaker on a 200- to 600-volt DC circuit with special grounding equipment, these chargers provide charge at a rate of 125 to 1,000 miles per hour with a full recharge typically taking 30 to 45 minutes. These chargers are characterized by industrial- grade car connection electrical outlets and are expensive to purchase and install as a result of the required utility infrastructure. Therefore, these chargers are used primarily for commercial charging stations, especially in office settings, and are not well suited for personal use at residential properties (Western Planner 2019). It is important to note that the rapid increase in EV charging infrastructure, in particular growth of Level 3 chargers, can have detrimental effects on the power grid. For instance, the high-charging loads associated with fast charging stations can result in increased peak demand, reduced 161 of 199

reserve margins, voltage instability, and reliability problems. These effects need to be understood before developing ordinances requiring their installation (T&D World 2021).

EV charging infrastructure requirements are generally described in three terms of completeness, as seen below in Table 4.

EV-Capable
EV-Capable is the most basic first step into the development of EV infrastructure. These spaces require the infrastructure for future installation of an EV charging station and do not require any charging equipment to be installed at the time of construction. This includes the underground conduit and parking stall but lacks any charger hardware, wiring, or plug to charge an EV. This charging space type requires some assembly prior to charging an EV. When the space is deemed ready to upgrade, any type of EV charging wire can be pulled through the already constructed conduit to connect to the charger. By accommodating for future development of EV charging spaces without committing to a specific number of charging spaces and technologies, EV-Capable spaces exhibit a low barrier to entry in the development of EV infrastructure, flexibility on the type of chargers, and an opportunity to increase the number, as necessary. Furthermore, integrating EV readiness into new construction avoids future retrofit costs of development. Per the City and County of San Francisco and a study conducted by Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, the cost to retrofit a charging station is nearly four times the cost of a new construction job, avoiding tens of thousands of dollars that would otherwise be spent at a later date (Southwest Energy Efficiency Project 2018, Peninsula Clean Energy 2019). Furthermore, not including wiring during construction helps reduce the chance that new technologies render the existing wiring obsolete. A downside to providing too many EV-Capable spaces that do not include pre-wiring is providing an inadequate supply of EV charging opportunities to a local community that exhibits an immediate need for EV charging. Despite the convenient opportunity to set some EV-Capable spaces aside for future development, it is paramount to fully evaluate the need of the local community first and foremost to strategically place EV-Capable spaces in areas where EV charging is not an immediate need.

5 EV-Installed charging spaces, the most advanced level of EV readiness, is also sometimes referred to as an Electric Vehicle Charging Station or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment in electric vehicle infrastructure literature. 162 of 199

As EVs proliferate through a given community and demand for charging increases, then local governance can return to these EV-Capable spaces and upgrade, as necessary.

EV-Ready
EV-Ready is the next step above EV-Capable and is also referred to as “Plug and Play.” These charging spaces require both the infrastructure and a wire outlet, the latter of which is not included in EV-Ready spaces. Although a charging unit is not required at this level, these spaces allow EV drivers to plug-in their own portable chargers into the outlet and begin charging. Given that a portable charging piece is required to charge the EV, these spaces are ideally suited for residential properties where the EV driver can easily store their portable charger at their residence. However, EV-Ready spaces are also in common use at commercial properties as well. While EV-Ready spaces increase the ease of which EV chargers are installed, there is a chance that new charging technology would require different wiring, making the existing infrastructure obsolete. However, as mentioned above, addressing the immediate needs of the local community is most important. Just as it is critical to be mindful of future updates to EV charging technology, it is equally important to address the immediate EV needs of a given community to ensure no one is left behind in the transition to California’s EV future. If a given community exhibits an immediate need for EV charging infrastructure, EV-Ready spaces offer a cost-effective means for EV drivers to satisfy their transportation needs. To accommodate equity concerns, it would be wise to consider a proper distribution of EV charging opportunities across one’s area of jurisdictional control rather than just providing EV charging access to the most affluent areas of a community.

EV-Installed
EV-Installed spaces, also referred to as EVSE and EV Charging Stations (EVCS), include everything an EV driver needs to charge their vehicle. Here, all the infrastructure necessary to charge an EV is available to the driver, including wiring, conduit, and the charging station itself. Currently, the cities of San Luis Obispo and Palo Alto require EV-Installed spaces in all new development (Charged Future 2021). This approach best enables rapid adoption of EVs, putting to rest all fears of not having a place to charge your vehicle. In just 1 year, the City of San Luis Obispo’s mandatory EV charging ordinance resulted in nearly 300 plugs as part of the approved developments, more than tripling its EV charging stations.

However, there is the potential that as EV technology develops these EV-Installed spaces will become outdated, requiring future investments and retrofits to keep up with EV innovations.

Land Use Type Recommendations
The City should consider developing EV reach codes that are specific to varying land use types.

1. New One-and Two-Family Homes and Townhomes with Attached Private Garages

2. New Multifamily, Hotels, and Motels

3. New Non-Residential
New One- and Two-Family Homes and Townhomes with Attached Private Garages
This land use type is characterized by new one- or two-family homes and townhomes with attached private garages, otherwise referred to as low-rise multifamily units. Due to slower rates of charging, 163 of 199

Level 1 and Level 2 chargers are ideally suited for residential properties where drivers have privately accessible garages and can charge their EVs overnight. This is reflected in the adoption of a number of California city reach codes. The cities of Cupertino, Davis, East Palo Alto, Encinitas, and Hayward all require at least one Level 2 EV-Ready space per unit. Additionally, Cupertino, Carlsbad, and East Palo Alto require one Level 1 EV-Ready circuit to accompany the space. Mountain View requires both a Level 1 and Level 2 EV-Ready circuit per unit. As is demonstrated above, there exist several variations to the type of charger and charging space made available to residential properties. At the lower bound of this land use category, all municipalities with EV codes require at least one Level 1 EV-Ready space per unit while more progressive EV leaders require at least one Level 2 Charger per unit available. 2022 CALGreen Code requirements for one- and two-family homes/low-rise multifamily units, as well as 2022 CALGreen Tier 1 and Tier 2 voluntary standards for this category, are described below in Table 5.

Table 5 New One- or Two-Family Homes/Low-Rise Multifamily Requirements 2022 CALGreen Requirement Tier 1 Tier 2
One EV-Ready space per unit One Level 1 EV-Ready circuit per space One Level 2 EV-Ready space per unit and Level 1 circuitry
New Multifamily, Hotels, and Motels
This land use type is characterized by larger, high-rise dwelling units, such as typical multi-family units, hotels, and motels. EV reach codes for this category tend to vary based on the number of units available.

For example, in the cities of Cupertino and Hayward, multi-family units that comprise less than 20 units require one Level 2 EV-Ready space per unit. This is consistent with requirements for one- and two- family homes and townhomes with private garages. For complexes with more than 20 units, Cupertino requires 25 percent of spaces be Level 2 EV-Ready while Hayward requires 75 percent of spaces be Level 2 EV-Ready with the remaining spaces Level 2 EV-Capable. This difference in percentage requirements beyond the threshold of 20 units demonstrates how rapidly each city intends to enable adoption of EVs.

Hayward’s 75 percent Level 2 EV-Ready requirement for multifamily units is the second highest percentage requirement in this category in California to date besides the City of Mountain View, which requires all new spaces regardless of lot size be at least EV-Ready, requiring Level 2 charging at 15 percent of these spaces and 3 EV-Installed spaces for every additional 100 spaces added. Generally, we see that complexes that exceed a given unit threshold for multi-family units tend to see a reduction in EV space requirements. For example, a city may require multifamily lots with less than 20 spaces to have a Level 2 EV-Ready space per unit, while a building with more than 20 spaces may only require 20 percent of these spaces be Level 2 EV-Ready. Given that most families are not able to install EV chargers themselves, this lack of a 1:1 ratio for charging space per unit presents some concern regarding equity of accessibility to EV charging infrastructure. Whereas a single-family unit may always have access to an EV charger, a family in a multifamily complex may have to compete for charging spaces in their own living complex, perhaps leading to frequent off-site visits to public charging facilities. For these reasons, public charging facilities are critical to ensuring proper access to EV charging infrastructure.

On the other hand, there are many California cities that position their EV requirements for multifamily units without unit thresholds, the most progressive of which is the City of Encinitas, requiring 15 percent of all spaces be EV-Installed, followed by the City of Sacramento, which requires 20 percent of spaces be Level 2 EV-Ready. At the lower bound of EV readiness for high-rise multifamily units, hotels, and motels, California cities at this time typically reserve up to 20 percent of new spaces to be Level 2 EV-Ready, 164 of 199

while more progressive cities like Hayward may include up to 75% of spaces be Level 2 EV-Ready. Others may require lower percentages of more advanced EV infrastructure, such as the City of Encinitas, which requires 15 percent Level 2 EV-Installed spaces.
2022 CALGreen requirements for new multifamily units, hotels, and motels, Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements, and examples of requirements beyond Tier 2 are described in below in Table 6 (California Department of Housing and Community Development 2021).

Despite the fact that residential charging is much more heavily utilized, the expansion of public charging infrastructure is an important way the City can help develop the local EV market and provide for equitable access. The convenience of making EV charging infrastructure available is critical to establishing EV driver confidence in the local community. Public charging encourages EV drivers to use their full range, increases general awareness, and offers comfort to existing drivers and prospective buyers. Most up-to date analysis finds that even 2022 CALGreen Tier 2 voluntary non-residential requirements will not be sufficient to meet EV penetration past 2025. Therefore, several cities in California have adopted more ambitious requirement (BAAQMD 2022).

A 45-55 percent EV-readiness requirement for non-residential properties, in addition to at least 33 percent of these spaces be EV-Installed, would position the City as an EV leader, comfortably within range to achieve the climate objectives outlined by state-legislated goals. Other California cities have exceeded these measures to further support EVs in the local community. In fact, CARB acknowledges in their 2019/2020 Cost and Technical Analysis Report that non-residential public charging infrastructure is critical to lowering barriers to entry for prospective EV drivers. Many cities in California are developing EV codes for commercial properties and have developed specific codes for office parking and non-office parking. For example, the City of East Palo Alto requires 6 percent of non-office parking spaces be equipped with Level 2 EV-Installed and 5 percent with Level 1 EV-Ready for a total of 11 percent of spaces requiring some level of EV-readiness. Additionally, for office lots they have developed specific codes for developments with more than 10 spaces, 50 percent are equipped with some form of EV- 165 of 199

readiness; 10 percent Level 2 EVCS, 10 percent Level 1 EV-Ready, and 30 percent Level 1 EV-Capable.

The City of Hayward also exhibits significant differences in EV-readiness when comparing office spaces to other non-residential spaces. Here, non-office lots with more than 10 spaces are required to be 15 percent Level 2 EV-Installed, while 50 percent of office spaces are equipped with some form of EV- readiness, 20 percent Level 2 EV-Installed and 30 percent Level 2 EV-Ready. 2022 CALGreen requirements for new non-residential requirements, as well as Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements and examples of requirements that exceed CALGreen, are described in Table 7 (BSC 2021).

Code Considerations
It is well documented that limited access to EV charging infrastructure can limit EV adoption and slow progress on GHG reduction. While it may be tempting to require EV infrastructure in some form at every parking location, it is important other impacts such as grid capacity and future technology changes to maximize efficiency while incentivizing EV adoption.

Grid Considerations
As EV’s and charging technologies advance, charging times are decreasing. Faster charging times mean more electricity is entering the cars battery in a shorter time, meaning more strain on the grid and potentially the need for new grid infrastructure when high levels of charging are occurring at the same time. Furthermore, having more EVs and faster chargers means more vehicles can cycle through fewer charging stations and exhibit more strain on the electrical grid. New demands placed on existing electrical infrastructure should be carefully reviewed and incorporated into community planning efforts.

In addition, as a result of these new demands placed on the grid, additional considerations should be made to increase electrical infrastructure in certain parts of the City, where applicable.

Access Considerations
Because EV charging stations are a service, they are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As a result, ADA-accessible EV charging stations must be provided, and this segment of the population must be accounted for. This reduces the total number of parking spaces that can be provided. The number of accessible charging spaces per standard EV charger is included below in Table 8 (City of Palo Alto 2016).

EV = electric vehicle
Notes: Where an EV charger can simultaneously charge more than one vehicle, the number of EV charging stations provided shall be considered equivalent to the number of EVs that can be simultaneously charged. * Accessible EV charging station designed for accessibility but not reserved for exclusive use by the disabled.

Technological Considerations
Another consideration when determining what percentage of parking spaces should be EV-Capable, EV- Ready, or EV-Installed is how fast technologies are changing. Faster EV chargers and new charging technologies are being developed at a rapid pace. For example, Level 1 chargers which take many hours to charge have been replaced in large part with Level 2 and even Level 3 chargers which can charge up to 80 percent in an hour or less. Wiring every parking space to support cutting edge chargers today, may be obsolete by the time every charger is fully installed. Therefore, limiting the amount of installed infrastructure by requiring higher levels of EV-Capable and lower levels of EV-Installed/EV-Ready may help limit the amount of stranded assets in the future while keeping retrofit costs low.

▪ Non-residential new construction
▫ More than 10 spaces 20 percent must be equipped with Level 2 EVCS and 30 percent must be Level 2 EV-Capable.

Funding and Enforcement
▪ While including EV charging in new construction does increase costs, they are small compared to the cost for a retrofit. The City of Hayward found that installing two EV-Capable spaces during construction would cost $840 while retrofit costs would be $4,800. ▪ Enforcement of the ordinance to occur during building inspection.

Exceptions
▪ Where there is no commercial power supply.
▪ ADU and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) without additional parking facilities, unless the electrical panel is upgraded, or a new panel is installed in which case only the electrical capacity requirements apply.
▪ Spaces accessible only by automated mechanical car parking systems are excepted from providing EV charging infrastructure (City of Hayward).

Exceptions
On a case-by-case basis, where the local enforcing agency has determined EV charging and infrastructure are not feasible based upon one or more of the following conditions:
▪ Where there is no commercial power supply
▪ Where there is evidence substantiating that meeting the requirements will alter the local utility infrastructure design requirements on the utility side of the meter so as to increase the utility side cost by more than $400 per dwelling unit
▪ ADU and JADU without additional parking facilities (City of Santa Monica 2019) Recommended Ordinance Overview
Most EV drivers rely on home charging, followed by workplace and public charging (Searle and Lutsey 2016). As such, the City’s EV codes should reflect these priorities. Based on the EV code data analysis the following trends appear to highlight the inclusion of the following:
▪ At least one Level 2 EV-Ready space per unit for one- and two-family homes/low-rise multifamily units with consideration for an additional Level 1 EV ready space per unit. ▪ At least 40-50 percent Level 2 EV-Capable spaces for larger high-rise multifamily complexes, hotels, and motels with consideration for between 15 percent and 33 percent of total spaces to be Level 2 EV-Installed spaces.
▪ 40-75 percent EV-Capable for non-residential properties with 33-50 percent of these spaces requiring Level 2 EV-Installed spaces.

On a case-by-case basis, allow for lower EV requirements when the local enforcing agency has determined EV charging and infrastructure are not feasible based upon one or more of the following conditions:
▪ Where there is no commercial power supply
▪ Where there is evidence substantiating that meeting the requirements will alter the local utility infrastructure design requirements on the utility side of the meter so as to increase the utility side cost by more than $400 per dwelling unit
▪ ADU and JADU without additional parking facilities
Existing Building Substantial Retrofit Options
The City is also interested in understanding the opportunities around extending reach codes to requirements retrofits. While new construction represents the most straightforward and cost-effective way to ensure buildings being developed today will support the City’s long-term climate goals, the City of Glendale is mostly built out, and a significant portion of emissions come from existing building stock.

Therefore, extending PV, energy efficiency, EV, and electrificaiton requirements to retrofits represents an opportunity for the City to further their climate goals. Furthermore, targeting existing buildings already undergoing significant renovations is the most cost-effective time for this work, allowing easy access to building systems, as well as access to financing which can significantly increase cost effectiveness of projects. Summarized below are the EV, PV, and electrification ordinances which have been adopted in California. In addition, Rincon has included an approach which utilizes a scorecard 169 of 199

City of Glendale
Building Codes Information & Recommendations

Page 25 ends

which has been adopted by cities like Piedmont and Carlsbad to provide a performance-based approach for existing building retrofits.

Retrofit Thresholds
Many reach codes use the term “substantial” remodel or retrofit as a threshold for when a reach code would take effect. A substantial retrofit could be defined in several ways including percentage value of the work compared to the building market value, percent of floor area addressed or length of time.

Based on research by California Local Codes and Standards on 28 cities in California, 21 of them listed projects that affected over 50 percent of floor area as substantial.

The City of Carlsbad which has several major retrofit requirements defines a major retrofit as such, “Alterations and additions to existing residential structures and construction sites where: (A) for one and two family dwellings and townhouses with attached private garages, alterations have a building permit valuation equal to or greater than $60,000 or include an electrical service panel upgrade; or (B) for multifamily dwellings (three dwelling units or more), alterations have a building permit valuation equal to or greater than $200,000, interior finishes are removed and significant site work and upgrades to structural and mechanical, electrical, and/or plumbing systems are proposed”.

Other retrofits (such as the scorecard listed above) use a lower dollar amount to target medium sized retrofits as well. Ranges for these requirements appear to be between $25,000 and $60,000.

Ordinance Pathways
The ordinances for existing buildings are predominantly extensions of the new construction requirements that also cover “substantial remodels” as defined above. Therefore, the existing building ordinance pathway would coincide with whichever pathway is chosen for the new construction ordinance. The one exception for this is the performance pathway described below which is specifically developed to be a local building code amendment to Part 6. This approach has already been shown to be cost-effective by the Local Codes and Standards team.

Building Electrification
As of writing this memo, no cities that specifically require electrification at time of retrofit could be identified. However, Rincon has spoken with several cities (including those in Sacramento, Oakland, and San Mateo counties) that are looking at enacting these policies. An ordinance of this type could be triggered by a substantial retrofit or when a retrofit triggers Title 24 requirements (such as when external walls are modified). While this type or ordinance would be an important tool in progressing existing building electrification in Glendale, this would be a first-of-its-kind ordinance, which carries some level of risk to the City. Additional discussions with the Codes and Standards team could be helpful in this area.

EVs
The City of Carlsbad adopted an EV charging requirement for major renovations (see definition above) that requires major renovations to comply with the new construction requirements of their EV ordinance for any new parking that is built as part of the project. The City of Glendale could also extend their EV charging ordinance to cover all additional spaces added due to renovations of existing buildings. 170 of 199

Solar PV
Several cities including, Carlsbad, Piedmont, and Santa Monica, require solar PV installation for major additions. Santa Monica defines a major addition as “The addition to any building of either: (1) an additional story; or (2) additional floor area equal to or greater than 50 percent of the building’s existing floor area prior to the addition.” Piedmont requires solar if adding an additional level or increasing the roof area by more than 30 percent. Carlsbad triggers their ordinance for non-residential retrofits that exceed $1,000,000 and affect more than 75 percent of existing floor area or an addition that increases the roof area by more than 2,000 sf. Both ordinances utilize a local amendment to Title 24. The solar requirement types are included in Table 9.

Annual TDV Energy Use * 0.8
kW = Kilowatt
GFA = gross floor area
sf = square feet
TDV = Time dependent valuation. TDV is a calculation that takes into account the societal cost/benefit of energy based on the climate zone, time of use, and environmental factors.

Existing Building Retrofit Performance Pathway
In addition to the prescriptive approaches for Building Electrification, EVs, and PV listed above, cities have begun adopting performance requirements for existing building retrofits. Due to the many variables associated with existing buildings, it can be difficult to identify specific actions that are cost effective and impactful in all scenarios. A performance pathway solves this issue by providing multiple options that each project can review and choose those approaches that suit their project best. The Local Energy Codes team has recently developed a tool for jurisdictions to create their own performance pathway which establishes a target score and a menu of individual measures with points weighted by site energy savings.

As structured, the ordinance amends the California Energy Code, and the intent is that an ordinance adopted in 2021 or 2022 would require only minor updates to remain effective in the 2022 code cycle, through 2025.

As proposed below, such an ordinance could be structured to amend Title 24, Article 6, Section 150.0 to require compliance as part of a defined project scope. The intent is to target medium-sized projects that are not otherwise subject to more comprehensive requirements under the State Energy Code. The amendment includes a table with the targets and points available for each measure and home vintage. It also includes specifications for each measure and exceptions. Compliance could be supported by an addendum to the Certificate of Compliance and building inspector verification. The ordinance could also include mandatory electric-readiness measures. Table 10 shows potential target scores for buildings by vintage year.

Pathway: Title 24 Amendment
Ordinance Requirements
▪ Amendment of Part 6 of Title 24
▪ A renovation project that costs $25,000 or more must include an energy efficient insulation or heating system electrification improvement to include in the renovation. 173 of 199

City of Glendale
Building Codes Information & Recommendations

Page 29 ends

▪ A renovation project that costs $100,000 or more must include two energy efficient insulation or heating system electrification improvements to include in the renovation. ▫ The energy efficient insulation or heating system requirement can be modified with a Home Energy Score of at least a 7 completed in the last five years. This modification is included so homes that have been pursuing energy efficiency measures can be recognized for their efforts.

Funding and Enforcement
▪ Several incentives exist from the utility and regional energy efficiency groups, such as BAYREN. ▪ Enforcement of the ordinance would occur during building inspection.

Exceptions
▪ A Home Energy Score Report for the low-rise building, completed within 5 years, demonstrating that the building already has a minimum Home Energy Score of 7 is submitted to the Building Official. ▪ In accordance with Section R104.10 Modifications, the Building Official shall not require the installation of R 106.6 Energy Efficient Measures E and/or F if one or more of the following conditions apply:
▫ The unique features of the construction of the low-rise residential structure, including, but not limited to, existing heating and/or cooling system(s) that are not configured for conversion to forced air systems preclude installation of those measures. ▫ The installation of the measures is not commensurate with the project’s scope and budget, as determined by the Building Official, because the cost of those measures would exceed 20 percent of the total project cost or require substantial construction in areas of the residential structure that would otherwise not be part of the project. 174 of 199
