5.4 Small Hotel
The Team analyzed EE package over mixed fuel baseline and three electrification packages - Code Min, EE, EE+PV, with results in Table 21.
▪ Results support reach code adoption for energy efficiency measures over mixed fuel baseline, also known as “Electric-Preferred” reach code pathway with 2-5% compliance margin. ▪ All-electric packages with efficiency measures and/or solar PV in most CZs are cost-effective and likely to be compliant in future with modeling and/or software version updates. Some climate zones are compliant currently across either one of the Manual or Software output approaches. ▪ All all-electric scenarios are labeled as “TBD” because 36% of conditioned floor area is nonresidential space and has the same system type limitation as Medium Office (see Section 5.1). Hence, the Small Hotel will be re- evaluated as well with a central heat pump boiler system instead of electric resistance VAV system in early 2023. The current results show compliance on either one of the Manual or Software output approaches in some climate zones with efficiency measures and solar PV, still labeled as “TBD” until the software inconsistencies are resolved.

The Team analyzed an additional scenario that proposes PTHP compared to the same SZAC mixed fuel baseline model, results shown in Table 22. Though PTHP is a much cheaper alternative than SZHP, it is not compliant by itself.

6 Conclusions
The Reach Code Team developed a variety of packages involving fuel substitution, energy efficiency, load flexibility, and solar PV, simulated them in building modeling software, and gathered costs to determine the c ost-effectiveness of multiple scenarios. The Team coordinated with multiple utilities, cities, and building community experts to develop a set of assumptions considered reasonable in the current market. Changing assumptions, such as the period of analysis, measure selection, fuel costs, other costs, energy escalation rates, software or utility tariffs may change the results.

These results, including the attached Reach Code Results Workbook, indicate all-electric packages are capable of achieving the greatest GHG savings as compared to mixed-fuel buildings, see Appendix 8.5. Jurisdictions may adopt a variety of reach codes such as “Energy Efficiency”, “Electric-Preferred”, “All-Electric” or “All-Electric + Efficiency.” In summary:
▪ The Reach Code Team has identified a cost-effective and code compliant energy efficiency measure package for most prototypes and climate zones analyzed, which supports an “Electric-Preferred” and/or “Energy Efficiency” reach code pathways for jurisdictions.
▪ “All-Electric” reach codes are feasible for all building types and climate zones when Part 11 is modified , including some exceptions.
• All-electric HVAC consisting of packaged single zone systems, including rooftop units in the Medium Retail and Quick-Service Restaurant, and single zone heat pumps in the Small Hotel guest rooms, are widely shown to be cost-effective and energy code compliant, with exceptions in CZs 1 and 16. • All-electric SHW systems have a prescriptive pathway for all building types and h ave not been shown to be an impediment to cost-effectiveness or energy code compliance of all-electric packages in this study.
• All-electric laundry in the Small Hotel can be cost-effective with added energy efficiency and additional solar PV than required prescriptively by 2022 Title 24 code. • Medium Office all-electric packages are cost-effective with energy efficiency and load flexibility measures, but not code compliant due to the use of electric resistance VAV reheat systems. The Small Hotel faces a similar issue for its smaller nonresidential area HVAC systems in some climate zones.

This indicates that further efficiency measures would need to be added to achieve energy code compliance which may not be cost-effective. As described in Sections 5.1 and 5.4, modeling limitations impacted the code compliance results for the medium office and nonresidential portion of the small hotel. These prototypes will be re-evaluated using a more appropriate central heat pump boiler HVAC system, likely available in compliance software in early 2023. In the meantime, jurisdictions can choose to exempt building systems that do not have a prescriptive compliance pathway in the energy code. See Berkeley’s all-electric ordinance (Berkeley 2019) section 12.80.040.A Exception 1 for an example.
▪ Commercial kitchen electrification is challenging to design cost-effectively currently. These results align with a previous study focusing on restaurants (Statewide IOU Team 2022). Jurisdictions may choose to exempt cooking appliances until cost-effectiveness factors improve. See Menlo Park's ordinance (Menlo Park 2019) 100.0(e)2.A Exception 4 for an example.
▪ For the Medium Retail prototype in CZs 2 to 15, there is already a prescriptive pathway to comply with packaged single zone heat pumps in smaller (<240 kBtuh) thermal zones. This study supports an “All-Electric + Efficiency” reach code pathway for many climates. However, mixed-fuel scenarios with SZAC and gas furnaces for larger (>240 kBtuh) thermal zones are challenging to show cost-effectiveness and/or code compliance, except for climate zones 7 and 9, when including efficiency measures. 254

Further discussion is required at the jurisdiction and community members to review results and determine appropriate reach code pathways. Please refer to the limitations of this study, described in Section 2.5, while using them to inform reach code policies. Of note:
▪ The Team employed several CBECC ruleset modifications to support achieving cost-effective packages, especially load flexibility measures. Ruleset modifications cannot be used by the building industry for code compliance without supporting justification or alternate methods. Where jurisdictions want to encourage the adoption of Load Flexibility measures through modeling estimates, the Reach Code Team can support cities and building applicants by providing modeling approximations that may achieve sim ilar energy and compliance total impacts, in coordination with the Energy Commission. For example, for the Demand Response Lighting measure, the Team may be able to share a TDV/ft2 impact of the measure in that climate zone or provide guidance to the building applicant’s energy consultant on appropriate modeling and documentation. ▪ Results are predominantly based on the code compliance metrics that are manually calculated based on the mixed fuel baseline model and not the standard design model assumed by the current software version. The Team also provided software reported compliance metrics in the workbook for reference. The Team is in communication with software development team to resolve differences in future iterations of this study and the software and improve code compliance reporting.

Even considering the limitations, this study has identified a set of reach code pathways for all climate zones, and jurisdictions have broad discretion on how to interpret the study’s findings. Jurisdictions can adopt reach codes requiring energy efficiency via a Title 24 Part 6 local amendment, or electrification via a Title 24 Part 11 (or municipal code) amendment, or both. Jurisdictions may choose to except particular building systems from certain reach codes pathways.

8.2.7 Escalation Rates
Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time, using assumptions from research conducted by Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) in Appendix 8.2. The 2019 study Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy + Environmental Economics 2019a) and escalation rates used in the development of the 2022 TDV multipliers Table 24 below demonstrate the escalation rates used for nonresidential buildings. As stated by E3 in the TDV report, this latter assumption “does not presuppose specific new investments, changes in load and gas throughput, or other measures associated with complying with California’s climate policy goals” (i.e., business -as-usual is assumed).

8.5 GHG Savings Summary
This section shows the percent GHG savings for each package. GHG multipliers in CBECC software have utility emissions multipliers assigned only to each of the California’s sixteen climate zones, does not vary by utility within each zone. Individual utility assumptions may vary widely. In the Medium Office, the GHG emissions increases in all- electric package because the proposed all-electric system is electric resistance VAV system instead of a more efficient heat pump boiler system.

Get In Touch
The adoption of reach codes can differentiate jurisdictions as efficiency leaders and help accelerate the adoption of new equipment, technologies, code compliance, and energy savings strategies.

As part of the Statewide Codes & Standards Program, the Reach Codes Subprogram is a resource available to any local jurisdiction located throughout the state of California.

Our experts develop robust toolkits as well as provide specific technical assistance to local jurisdictions (cities and counties) considering adopting energy reach codes. These include cost-effectiveness research and analysis, model ordinance language and other code development and implementation tools, and specific technical assistance throughout the code adoption process.

If you are interested in finding out more about local energy reach codes, the Reach Code Team stands ready to assist jurisdictions at any stage of a reach code project.

NOTICE OF EXEMPTION (NOE)

1 To: Office of Planning and Research From: City of Goleta P.O. Box 3044, 1400 Tenth St. Rm. 212 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Sacramento, CA 95812-3044 Goleta, CA 93117

Subject: Filing of Notice of Exemption

Project Title: Ordinance Amending Title 15, Chapter 15.15 of the Goleta Municipal Code for an Energy Performance Reach Code

Project Applicant: City of Goleta

Project Location (Address and APN): Goleta City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, CA 93117

Description of Nature, Purpose and Beneficiaries of Project: The purpose of the Energy Performance Reach Code is to modify the California Energy Code within the City of Goleta to require a higher level of energy performance with new construction. The ordinance encourages electrification and still allows for natural gas in buildings, although additional energy performance measures may be needed to comply. These additional measures may include increased energy efficiency (i.e. higher insulation), increased solar panel system size, and battery storage systems. For newly constructed buildings where fuel gas infrastructure is permitted due to any qualifying exceptions, they would be required to have sufficient electrical capacity, including reserved circuit breakers, electrical conduit, subpanels, panels, switchboards, and transformers, to facilitate future full building electrification. The ordinance would require higher energy performance for new single family, low-rise multifamily buildings and non-residential buildings, including pre-fabricated buildings; and provide for either reduced margins or exceptions for smaller homes and accessory dwelling units . The ordinance would e xtend electric readiness requirements through exterior location for space heat pump compressor in single family , s pace and ventilation requirements for in -unit water heaters in multifamily buildings , and e lectrical capacity requirements for multifamily central hot water systems, with an option to include space, ventilation, and condensate requirements.

Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5, the local amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Building and Energy Code are reasonably necessary due to local climactic, geological, or topographical conditions. The amendment is in the interests of public health and safety and general community welfare by contributing to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the reduction of air pollutants associated with new construction. Electric heat pumps for space and water heating are more efficient than their natural gas counterparts and have the added safety benefits of lowering the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning and gas explosions. New construction provides the best oppor tunity to avoid “lock -in emissions” which would be created through the inclusion of natural gas infrastructure in new buildings.

The ordinance will help mitigate climate change and its negative effects such as extreme heat events, droughts, intense storms , and flooding in the region, thus making these amendments reasonably necessary because of local climactic, geological, and topographical reasons.

Exempt Status: (check one)
 Ministerial (Sec. 15369)
 Statutory (Sec. 21080.35)
 Categorical Exemption: (Sec. 15307 & 15308)
 Emergency Project (Sec. 15359)
 Other: (Sec 15061(b)(3))

Reason(s) why the project is exempt:

This ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code, § 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs.§ 15000 et seq.) and is categorically exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), which exempts from CEQA any project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. These standards are more stringent than the State energy standards, and as such, there are no reasonably foreseeable adverse impacts, and there is no possibility that the ordinance in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Adoption of the ordinance would not be an activity with potential to cause significant effect on the environment because the adoption and local amendments to the California Energy Code are enacted to provide more protection to the environment and therefore is exempt from CEQA. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance in question may have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, the ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA.
