SUBJECT: MORENO VALLEY BUSINESS PARK – PHASE II ENERGY TABLES The following Energy Tables were prepared for the proposed Moreno Valley Business Park – Phase II development (referred to as “Project”) which is located in the City of Moreno Valley.

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ELECTRICITY USAGE ESTIMATES
Based on the 2021 National Construction Estimator (1), the typical power cost per 1,000 square feet of building construction per month is estimated to be $2.3 7. The proposed development consists of 220,390 sf industrial building (Buildin g 5) which will be evaluated assuming 154,270 square feet (sf) of warehousing use (70% of the overall sf), 33,060 sf of manufacturing use (15% of the overall sf), and 33,060 sf of high -cube cold storage warehouse use (15% of the overall sf) for a total of 220,390 sf of industrial uses . Table 1 estimates the total power cost of the on -site electricity usage during the construction of the proposed Project to be approximately $11,336.07.

Other Asphalt Surfaces $2.37 173.366 11 $4,519.65
CONSTRUCTION POWER COST $11,336.07

The SCE’s general service rate schedule were used to determine the Project’s electrical usage. As of October 1, 2021, SCE’s general service rate is $0.13 per kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity for industrial services (2), the total electricity usage from on-site Project construction related activities is estimated to be approximately 90,406 kWh.

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FUEL ESTIMATES
Fuel consumption estimates are presented in Table 3. The aggregate fuel consumption rate for all equipment is estimated at 18.5 hp‐hr‐gal., obtained from California Air Resources Board ( CARB) 2018 Emissions Factors Tables and cited fuel consumption rate factors presented in Table D‐24 of the Moyer guidelines (3). For the purposes of this analysis, the calculations are based on all construction equipment being diesel‐powered which is standard practice consistent with industry standards. Diesel fuel would be supplied by existing commercial fuel providers serving the City and region. As presented in Table 3, Project construction activities would consume an estimated total of 57,616 gallons of diesel fuel over the approximately 11-month construction period.

CONSTRUCTION WORKER FUEL ESTIMATES
It is assumed that all construction worker trips are from light duty autos (LDA) along area roadways. Data regarding Project related construction worker trips were based on CalEEMod 2020.4.0 model defaults utilized within the AQIA. Vehicle fuel efficiencies for LDAs were estimated using information generated within the 2017 version of the EMFAC developed by the CARB. Table 4 provides an estimated annual fuel consumption resulting from the Project generated by LDAs related to construction worker tr ips. Based on Table 4, it is estimated that 21,840 gallons of fuel will be consumed related to construction worker trips over the approximately 11-month construction period .

CONSTRUCTION VENDOR FUEL ESTIMATES
It is assumed that 50% of all vendor trips are from Medium-Heavy-Duty-Trucks (MHDT) and 50% are from Heavy-Heavy-Duty Trucks (HHDT). These assumptions are consistent with the CalEEMod 2020.4.0 defaults utilized within the within the AQIA. Vehicle fuel efficiencies for MHD Ts and HHD Ts were estimated using information generated within EMFAC2017. Table 5 shows the estimated fuel economy of MHDTs and HHDTs accessing the Project site. Based on Table 5, fuel consumption from construction trips will total approximately 11,880 gallons over the approximately 11-month construction period .
