Since I am retired I have the time and wish to continue being involved in our community. I feel that the planning commission matches ny interests and professional experience.

What are your qualifications for this appointment?
My professional experience working with and undestanding complex code provisions. Also my experience working with other design professionals on residential and commerical projects.

The development of additional housing in our town by encouraging ADU's and multi-family housing and/or mixed use projects which are in conformance with SA's housing element and blend in with the surrounding neighborhood. As a planning commissioner I have suggested several changes to SA's developemnt code allowing smaller lot sizes and lot line adjustments to non-conforming lots to encourage housing. A second important issue is maintaining a vibrant downtown commercial district by assisting the developemnt of new businesses.

29 Personal Statement
I have been a practicing Structural Engineer for over 40 years in the SF Bay Area. During that time I have consulted with Architects and Contractors on a wide variety of residential and commercial projects ranging from senior living facilities and affordable housing projects to hospitals and higher education projects. Thru my work I have gained an understanding of codes and planning issues such as setbacks, height limits, density bonuses and parking requirements. I also understand how development can impact the local community, both positively and negatively.

While not a licensed Architect, my undergraduate Architectural Engineering degree program included three years of pre-architecture and design classes. In addition, I have been exposed to many different types of building design over the years and have a sense when a proposed design fits in with the adjacent surroundings. As a LEED accredited professional, I also understand how the design and construction of the built environment can be done with minimal impact on the environment.

As a practicing Structural Engineer, I feel I can bring a unique perspective to the Planning Commission. While the impact to adjacent buildings due to structural issues are minimal on flatland development that is not necessarily the case on hillside development. Hillside excavations can create slope stability problems and alter drainage patterns both of which can affect neighbors. As a structural engineer, I understand these issues and have worked with Geotechnical and Civil engineers to mitigate these them.

Local Project Experience
During my career I have been the structural engineer many projects throughout the Bay Area including Marin and Sonoma Counties. I also designed my own home in San Anselmo. A partial list of my local projects include:
• Marin Health – Oak Pavilion Hospital Addition & West Wing Renovation • Kaiser Santa San Rafael - Various Renovation Projects • Kaiser San Santa Rosa - North Wing Addition & Medical Office Building • Villa Marin Retirement Residences, San Rafael
• Spring Lake Village Retirement Residences, Santa Rosa TIM L. HEIMAN, SE

From Ross Asselstine
RE: “Show Us the Money”
A few of my recent cartoons referred to the Flood Zone as being in the positions of:
• Having no access to funds at an ATM. “Insufficient Funds” • Being broke and out of money. “The Money is Gone”
• Not aware that they have no funds to even do BB2 “The Emperor has no Clothes On” The last cartoon included a 23 page letter to the Chief Counsel of Marin County and the Director of the Department of Finance dated August 19. I will spare you from re-sending this document to you again. (If you really want another copy, please shout.)
I’ve had recent productive phone calls with MC that suggest the issues raised are very real. I’m under the impression that they may well conclude their review and assessment this month.

In short, the staff of the District has four problems:
1) They cannot use the tax funds from 1965 / 1983 maintenance agreements for anything but the maintenance of the concrete channel, dredging and levee works. This could pull $4M out of the budget
2) They have to fund all future maintenance of works they have built so far from the Flood Fee of 2007. That could be a VERY high number.
3) Because of items 1) and 2), it is clear to me they don’t have funds to demo BB2. 4) I will guess that after a clear-headed study, they are not going to be able to do much else with the small amount remaining. They are obligated to set aside the funds to maintain “stuff”.

The issue of “Flood Control” has always been divisive in this community; the projects are either unacceptable as a few were, or were the great range of just plain bad ideas that were not viable. The issue of BB2 is now creating great division within our town, meetings include raised voices, unanswered questions, bad feelings, more frustration and well, you list the rest.

It’s not in our collective interest to put the BB2 CLOMR issue on a future agenda if the District simply does not have the money to move forward with it. Why have another meeting until the District gets it’s fiscal house in order and clearly states that they do or don’t have the funds to cover all obligations? In essence, their panic and problems, should not create more panic and more problems in San Anselmo.

I strongly recommend that the Council direct SA staff to communicate this or a similar position to the District ASAP. “Show us the Money”

I tried to submit this for Open Time using eComment but not possible so I hope Serge can make this available to the Town Council, please?
Thank you,

________________________________________
In considering SAFRR/BB2/CLOMR, I ask that the Council, please, remember the flood district has been aware of concerns about:

1.) SAFRR’s impact on the Creek Park redwoods since 2017,

2.) the discrepancy between FEMA low-reading models versus Stetson’s 2D models more in synch with high water marks of past floods since 2018, and

3.) the toxic tank under BB2 platform since 2023.

I know the above to be true since I have emails documenting transmission of the information to the district and county.

Instead of being transparent and responding with information they must possess by now, your questions are not answered nor are ours. Is the need to promote SAFRR so over-whelming that such evasion is justified?

There is a new and relevant county flood strategy of which you may be unaware. The removal of concrete channel walls downstream of College of Marin (COM) has begun. An interesting change in the plan and county strategy is the apparent removal of proposed detention basin(s) in favor of high vacant land. The basin(s) were placed to catch sediment generated by increased volume and velocity of storm waters carried downstream by SAFFR and CMC FPMP, thus aiding maintenance of such deposits. Now, marches protective of surrounding land areas have been added instead. In spite of increased O&M costs, this may be environmentally and politically wise: preserve and protect settled neighborhoods with land temporarily vacant and thus, available for public enjoyment. 32 In case you cannot read the fine print, the signage says:” …Over time rising sea level drowns tidal marshes which become mudflats and then open water. To preserve important habitat, this project includes an area higher than the current tidal marshes that can transition to tidal marsh as sea level rises. This reach has special value because it is in a mixing zone fort tidal water from the Bay and fresh water from Corte Madera Creek…” Here is a clear indication the district is aware of increasing marine intrusion and planning projects with that awareness in mind.

Perhaps San Anselmo should be equally aware? All this fuss about daylighting 130 feet of covered creek is futile in view of the advancing Bay pushing those waters back at us. Especially when hydraulics, models, and residents’ flood insurance programs are at issue. Spending Millions of dollars to flood downstream neighbors might be weighted against more meaningful uses of our dollars?
The redwoods of Creek Park and restoration of a beloved local gathering area matter to residents and the vitality of San Anselmo. These are quality of life elements. Why not preserve them? Yours truly,
Garril Page

Please add my comments below and my attached letter to Judd Goodman to the written public comments for tonight's meeting. Thank you.

Mayor and Town Council of San Anselmo
Dear Mayor and Council Members.

I would like to call your attention to misinformation in the September 8th, 2025 Marin IJ article: San Anselmo council gets flood control project update
Judd Goodman's made the following statement which is untrue. “No homes would flood that don’t flood now — that is an important distinction — and no new properties would be added to the floodplain,” Goodman said.

I have lived in my home at 86 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, for more than 30 years, and I have never flooded.

This includes the severe flooding in 2005. For the record, I live in the most impacted neighborhood that will see the greatest increase in Water Surface Elevation, and I only know. of one home that has been previously flooded.

Judd Goodman's claim is misleading, irresponsible and will harm many property owners. It will also increase the Town's potential liability if the CLOMR and BB2 removal proceeds.

I have requested that Judd Goodman send me any and all information he has supporting this statement and the list of the “no homes would flood that don’t flood now". I believe his statement is untrue, and I urge the Town Council to fully investigate his statement and review the documentation as well. The current mitigation efforts based on falsehoods and assumptions that are erroneous are not only unacceptable, but they are underfunded as well. As a result, the current flood control efforts need to cease immediately.

The County has long spread misinformation and made erroneous statements that have the potential to harm individuals and their properties.

Obviously, this is of great concern to impacted property owners such as myself. 35 Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Respectfully,

Dear Judd:

Re: Marin IJ Article September 8, 2025, by Krissy Waite In the Marin IJ article entitled: San Anselmo council gets flood control project update it is reported that you made the following statement:
“No homes would flood that don’t flood now — that is an important distinction — and no new properties would be added to the floodplain,” Goodman said.

Is this accurate? If so, please send me a list of the “no homes would flood that don’t flood now” without delay. I would like to have it before my meeting with An Bartlett (Technical) and Kurry Foley (Assistant Directory) today at 5 PM regarding questions specific to my property.

For the record, my home did not flood in 2005, and it has never flooded in the more than 30 years I have lived here.

Thank you.

Reduction Project

Chris Blunk Interim Public Works Director, and Judd Goodman, Senior Civil Engineer for the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District gave a PowerPoint presentation that included the following: 1) Building Bridge 2 Removal; 2) Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) Application; 3) Flooding Process; 4) Storm Scenarios; 5) Expected Benefit to Homes and Businesses; 6) Town and Community Comments; 7) Proposed Mitigations; 8) CLOMR Process Evaluation; 9) Two Flooding Sources; 10) Rise in Creek Floodwater if BB2 Removed; 11) Example of Proposed Mitigation-Garage; 12) FEMA Required Letters Sent if Possible Change to Flood Map; 13) What Happens Beyond the Project Study Limits? 14) Conclusions of BB2 Removal; 15) Flood Model Differences; 16) Tree Management Plan; 17) Trees Adjacent to BB2; 18) Project Modifications Proposed to Protect Trees; 19) Tree Monitoring During Construction; 20) Tree Monitoring After Construction; 21) Flood Zone 9: 3 Revenue Sources; 22) Flood Zone 9 Project Funding; 23) Flood Zone 9 Operations & Maintenance Funding; 24) Next Steps; 25) Public Outreach Efforts Under Way; 26) BB2 Removal Project- Challenges. Staff and the consultants answered questions from the Council regarding whether the 1-D or 2-D model was used when talking about the number of structures and properties affected; if flooding is currently touching the 22 of the 38 affected structures and if there are proposed mitigation measures; if the pressure of additional water would impact these structures; if there is an increase in flood water in the 1-D or 2-D model; if the 2-D model used the 4% change of flood event scenario; if they have to use the 1% for FEMA purposes; how the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) applies to the 1-D model that FEMA uses and whether they need to prepare a new EIR; the timeline for the “apples-to-apples” comparison; why a short-turn around was needed for the letter of concurrence; how the district plans to improve its communication to the public; how the owners of the impacted properties were notified and if the district has met with them; if there is an increase in the number of affected properties when using the 2-D model and considering the 100-year flood; if there is a budget for mitigation work for the number of affected parcels shown in the 1-D model; the efficacy of the project using the 2-D model; if there is funding for using eminent domain if a homeowner refused mitigation; if refusal by one affected homeowner could kill the project; if the current Fund Balance was around $12 million; if there is a method for a homeowner to contest a determination regarding mitigations; challenges facing the project not included in tonight’s slide presentation; when the district would return to the Council for feedback; if the district could look at the feasibility of accessing the plaza.

Mayor Kullaway opened the meeting to public comments.

Mr. Jeff Kroot stated three of the four structural reports say the bridge is fine. The fourth report says it is fine but could collapse during a major earthquake. Demolishing the bridge will cause flooding downstream and liability to the Town.

Ms. Benedetto Chico, speaking as a business owner, stated this process has taken a very long time. Residents want this area opened up and used by the public. The county should have answers to resident’s questions.

Mr. Keith March stated he lives downstream on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in the affected area. His home and office would not be affected by a flood but he has an access bridge running over the creek. He is concerned about his safety. The Winship Bridge needs to be fixed before BB2 is removed.

Mr. Pat Townsley, owner of Creekside Pizza, wanted the fence removed. He understood that the Winship Bridge was the first project that needed to go and that there would be upstream mitigation. They need to look at the bigger picture and the other bridges that make up the flood system.
48 6
Ms. Jennifer Motta, 82 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, stated her home will be impacted by the rise in the base flood elevation. This project will harm her property and many others.

Mr. Philip Chidos stated he owns two commercial properties in the flood zone. There are County resources that are unaccounted for with no real return on investment (ROI).

Ms. Rosanne dalBello stated her arborist report does not agree with the one submitted by the County with respect to the Tree Management Plan. She discussed some of the discrepancies between the Tree Management Plan and the engineering drawings.

Mr. Ford Greene stated at a Flood Zone 9 meeting in 2022 it was estimated that the mitigations costs would be between $3 million and $11 million. It is now $400,000. It would hurt the property owners to try to make the project viable by reducing the cost of mitigation.

Ms. Paula Spencer, a business owner, asked the Council to deny the County permit for the demolition of BB2.

Ms. Ann Politzer stated tonight’s CLOMR presentation has changed from the one she heard at the Ross Town Council meeting. The asserted benefits are restricted to the 10-year flood and represent a 14% reduction in damages and losses. This is a lousy return on a $58 million investment.

Mayor Kullaway closed the meeting to public comments.

Councilmember Burdo thanked everyone for his or her testimony. He heard some new information tonight. He looks forward to seeing the “apples to apples” comparisons using the models.

Councilmember Burke stated tonight’s presentation raises more questions than it answered.

She is concerned about how receptive homeowners will be to the mitigation offers. This is the key to the project. She would like to see the 2-D model run for the 100-year flood and the fence removed as soon as possible.

Councilmember Walker stated the consultants talked about changes and that would be useful to see in the future.

Councilmember Schlesinger discussed the “different tools for different rules” approach. This approach is misleading because a model is not only a tool but also defines what we see. He would like to see the “apples to apples” comparison as soon as possible.

Mayor Kullaway was concerned about the legal liability for San Anselmo. There are a lot of good things and concerning things about the project.

M/s, Burke/Walker, Motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:38 p.m.

AYES: Burdo, Burke, Schlesinger, Walker, Mayor Kullaway Respectfully submitted,
Toni DeFrancis,
Recording Secretary

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.5
MEETING DATE: September 9, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Accept the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Project at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Saunders Avenue
and Authorize Staff to File a Notice of Completion
FROM: Scott Schneider, Asst. Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council accepts the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Project at Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Saunders Avenue and authorizes staff to file a Notice of Completion.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Town Council approved the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon project, also known as a HAWK crossing, at the August 27, 2024 Council meeting, and authorized staff to bid the project.

The Council authorized the Town Manager to award the construction contract to Columbia Electric at the October 8, 2024 meeting. Construction was delayed due to the long lead time required to secure the controller cabinet. When the cabinet was received in late May, the Town suggested delaying construction until school was out for the summer to reduce traffic and pedestrian impacts, and the contractor agreed.

Construction started on June 16, and the signal was activated on July 14. The construction was completed in mid-August with the completion of the battery backup system.

The project replaced the existing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard at Saunders Avenue with a hybrid beacon (also known as a HAWK signal) that operates with red lights to improve safety.

FISCAL IMPACT
The construction contract was awarded to Columbia Electric, Inc. for $120,759.20.

Change orders for replacement of the previously damaged existing Type 1A pole ($15,495) and additional sidewalk repairs and striping changes ($1,526.29) increased the cost by $17,021.29. The project was completed substantially in accordance with 78 Item #: 1.5
the project plans and specifications, and fully available for use on July 16, 2025. The final construction cost was $137,780.49.

Funding for the project was included in the Town’s 2024/2025 Budget and Work Plan - Grant Fund for $204,000 from the Transportation Authority of Marin. The grant covered the entire design and construction amount, plus $19,201 of staff time.

CEQA ANDCLIMATE ACTION PLAN/BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN

MASTER PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town found this project to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, because they involve rehabilitation of existing streets, sidewalks, and gutters that will not create additional automobile lanes and involve negligible or no expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301). None of the exceptions to this Class 1 categorical exemption apply in this instance (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15300.2). Specifically, successive projects of the same type in the same location will not cause significant cumulative impacts, as there are no successive projects planned at this time. There are no unusual circumstances presented by this project and the project will not result in damage to scenic resources within a designated state scenic highway. Finally, the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, as no historical resources will be impacted.

This project is listed in the project list of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, and will improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the street. The project is consistent with the Climate Action Plan 2030 Transportation Measures T-2 Bicycling and T-3 Walking.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.1
MEETING DATE: September 9, 2025
AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing, Discussion, and Potential Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Title 9, Chapter 1 (Construction
Codes) and Chapter 19 (Green Building Requirements) to
Implement the 2025 Tier 1 CALGreen Building Code; and
finding that the Council’s action is not a “project” under CEQA (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065)
FROM: Bridget Wipfler, Climate Action Coordinator
Eric Robbe, Building Official
Heidi Scoble, Community Development Director

RECOMMENDATION

1. Hold a public hearing to consider a proposed Ordinance amending Title 9, Chapter 1 (Construction Codes) and Chapter 19 (Green Building Requirements) to Implement the 2025 Tier 1 CALGreen Building Code, considering the time constraints established by with Assembly Bill 130; and making associated CEQA finding (Attachment 1).

2. Motion to introduce the Ordinance Amendment by title only and to waive future readings in their entirety.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In June, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 130, which freezes local jurisdictions’ ability to modify state residential building codes, including “green” and “reach” codes, through June 1, 2031 with certain limited exceptions. The purpose of AB 130 is to encourage and streamline the construction of residential units. Jurisdictions that desire to adopt more stringent green or reach building codes must do so by the state deadline of October 1, 2025.

As explained further below, the Town already has in place certain environmental building codes. Staff has brought this item to the Council for its consideration as to whether it would like to adopt additional building code amendments before the October 1 deadline. 80 2
Agenda Item 2.1
What are Green Building Codes?
The state sets certain minimum building code standards every 3 years, which local jurisdictions must adopt and enforce. The Town Council adopts these codes by reference and they are generally contained in San Anselmo Municipal Code Title 9. The 2025 state building code update will go into effect on January 1, 2026.

Green building codes are a certain type of building code that are designed to reduce environmental impacts. These requirements encourage practices such as:
• Using less energy and water,
• Reducing reliance on fossil fuels,
• Recycling construction waste,
• Improving indoor air quality, and
• Supporting healthier, more resilient communities.

California’s statewide green building code, known as CALGreen (Title 24, Part 11), was first adopted in 2010 and is updated every three years.

In addition to “green” building codes, “reach” codes, may be adopted locally to go beyond the state regulations to reflect local priorities, such as wildfire risk, seismic safety, or climate action goals.

Until recently, local jurisdictions have been authorized to adopt local amendments to the state building codes based on localized conditions and priorities. However, effective October 1, 2025, AB 130 pauses local jurisdictions’ ability to modify building codes (including green building and reach codes) in order to encourage housing development.

State Moratorium on Local Residential Green Building Codes Through June 1, 2031 AB 130 establishes a statewide moratorium on new or amended residential building standards from October 1, 2025, through June 1, 2031, with limited exceptions for emergency health and safety measures, fire hardening, and standards equivalent to those in effect as of January 1, 2025. The law also suspends the State Building Standards Commission’s approval of residential code amendments during this period. However, the 2025 California Building Standards Code, released in July 2025, will take effect as scheduled on January 1, 2026, providing a narrow window for local jurisdictions to adopt or amend residential codes, including reach codes, before the moratorium begins.

Given the constraints of AB 130 and the late release of the 2025 CALGreen Code, the Town faces an unusually short timeline to consider, review, analyze, and adopt local amendments. After October 1, 2025, no new residential building standards, including reach codes, may be adopted until 2031. This compressed timeline limits opportunities 81 3
Agenda Item 2.1
for technical analysis and public outreach. Nonetheless, the Town may adopt advanced measures before October 1, 2025, with the option to adjust or relax them based on future findings or community input.

Green Building Requirements in San Anselmo
During the 2022 California Building Code updates, the Town elected to adopt the state’s CALGreen Tier 1 standards. The Tier 1 framework allows San Anselmo to go beyond the base code using a package of enhancements consistent with other jurisdictions. In addition, as described below, the Town relies on its local Green Building Ordinance for enhanced energy standards, which provides more flexible compliance pathways.

Current 2022 Tier 1 Measures Enforced in San Anselmo:
• EV-capable wiring
• Construction waste diversion
• Water efficiency
• Electrification measures
In September 2023, San Anselmo also adopted local green building standards and reach codes. For example, the Town adopted Ordinance No. 1181, incorporating Marin County’s Flexible Compliance Pathway (FlexPath) for remodels. FlexPath allows projects to achieve a target score by selecting from a menu of energy efficiency and electrification measures, giving builders and homeowners flexibility to implement measures that best suit their project.
2025 State Green Building Code
2025 Statewide Mandatory Green Building Measures (without Tier 1) (“CalGreen”):
• EV-ready wiring for single-family homes
• Higher Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) requirements for multifamily and nonresidential buildings
• Embodied carbon compliance for large projects
• Bicycle parking (multifamily & nonresidential)
• Heat pump and photovoltaic baselines in the energy code See the Comparison Table of the 2022 Tier 1 vs. 2025 Mandatory CalGreen and 2025 Tier 1 Measures on the following page:
82 4
Agenda Item 2.1
83 5
Agenda Item 2.1
The transition from 2022 Tier 1 to 2025 Tier 1 is expected to have minimal cost impacts for most residential projects, as many new measures, such as bicycle parking and inspection responsibilities, do not involve major construction changes. Multifamily and nonresidential projects may see higher upfront costs, particularly for EVSE upgrades, embodied carbon compliance, and structural retention requirements, but these measures can generate long-term energy and operational savings.

Policy Options for Council
Considering the Town’s current Green Building regulations and the mandatory 2025 Green Building requirements, to further strengthen San Anselmo’s commitment to climate action leadership, the Council may consider the following options:

1. Adopt the 2025 CALGreen Tier 1 Measures
• Continues San Anselmo’s leadership on climate action. • Aligns with nearby cities (San Rafael, Mill Valley, Larkspur, and Tiburon) and the County of Marin that are also moving to Tier 1.
• May increase costs for some projects, with the most significant upfront expenses typically for multifamily and nonresidential buildings, primarily due to EV infrastructure and HVAC requirements.

2. Exempt Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) from Tier 1
• Reduces costs for small-scale infill housing projects. • Decreases the number of ADUs contributing to climate goals.

3. Maintain or Lower the Remodel Threshold
• Current trigger: 750 square feet.
• Some neighboring jurisdictions are lowering to 500 square feet. • Staff recommends keeping the 750 square foot threshold to avoid disproportionate costs for small remodels.

4. Modify the Flexible Compliance Pathway (FlexPath)
• Could limit FlexPath requirements to homes built before 1992 and because federal incentives for newer homes are expiring. Post-1992 homes are already relatively efficient due to the Title 24 building standards, so the largest climate and cost benefits come from targeting older homes.
• Reduce staff time and complexity for builders of newer homes, since those homes often already comply with modern energy and building standards.

5. Continue Using the 2022 Tier 1 Flexible Compliance Pathway (FlexPath) • Maintains consistency with the Town’s current approach by carrying forward the 2022 Tier 1 FlexPath into the next Building Code cycle. 84 6
Agenda Item 2.1

6. Continue Using the 2022 Tier 1 Flexible Compliance Pathway (FlexPath) with modification to Exempt ADUs and homes built after 1992. • Maintains consistency with the Town’s current approach by carrying forward the 2022 Tier 1 FlexPath into the next Building Code cycle. • Exempts ADUs, reducing costs for small-scale infill housing projects. • Limits FlexPath requirements to homes built before 1992, focusing on properties with the greatest potential for energy and emissions reduction.

What are other Marin jurisdictions doing?

Agenda Item 2.1
In summary, staff is requesting that the Town Council consider adopting the 2025 CALGreen Tier 1 Code along with the Town’s local reach code. (See proposed Ordinance Amendment at Attachment 1).

Based on preliminary review, the 2025 amendments are anticipated to have minimal impacts on single-family residences compared to the existing 2022 Tier 1 standards.

However, they may result in greater financial impacts for multifamily and nonresidential projects, particularly due to requirements related to EV infrastructure, embodied carbon compliance, and structural retention.

As a cautious approach, and consistent with the Town’s commitment to green building, the Council may choose to adopt the 2025 Tier 1 regulations at this time. If the requirements later prove to be overly burdensome or do not achieve the intended outcomes, the Council retains the ability to amend the standards to make them less stringent or to suspend them altogether. Under AB 130, such adjustments can be made with relative ease. However, AB 130 prohibits strengthening the regulations or adding enhanced green building requirements after June 1, 2031. In other words, if the Town Council does not adopt the 2025 CalGreen Tier 1 before October 1, it will not have the opportunity to adopt more stringent regulations for at least six years.

If the Council elects to adopt the ordinance, staff recommends:
• Exempting Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) from Tier 1 requirements, • Exempting new construction for homes built after 1992, and • Maintaining the current 750-square-foot remodel threshold for Flex Path applicability.

This approach balances the Town’s climate leadership goals with cost considerations and regulatory flexibility for property owners.

The proposed Ordinance Amendment includes these recommendations. In addition, the proposed Ordinance Amendment includes with the findings required to enact local amendments and modifications to state building standards (Cal Health & Safety Code §§ 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7 and 1894.5).

FISCAL IMPACT
No direct Town costs beyond staff review/enforcement.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
If the Council adopts the proposed Green Building regulation amendments, the Ordinance will advance the goals and policies of the San Anselmo General Plan, particularly those related to Sustainability and Conservation. The General Plan emphasizes reducing 86 8
Agenda Item 2.1
greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy and water efficiency, encouraging renewable energy, and promoting sustainable building practices.

Adoption of this Ordinance will support these objectives by:
• Requiring higher-performance building standards,
• Supporting implementation of the Town’s Climate Action Plan, and • Ensuring consistency with regional and statewide sustainability efforts.

Specifically, the Ordinance aligns with:
• Policy M13: The Town and County shall take measures to reduce inefficient or unnecessary energy or natural resource consumption. Recyclable and biodegradable materials shall be utilized, and used materials shall be recycled or reused whenever possible.
• Policy M1: Air, water, and noise pollution shall be prevented or minimized.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONCISTENCY
The Council’s consideration of the 2025 Building Code does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it does not involve an activity that could cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

This report is consistent with the Town’s adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP), particularly measures related to building decarbonization, electric vehicle readiness, active transportation, and reach codes, including:
• E-4: Green Building Reach Code – Explore adopting a green building ordinance for new and remodeled residential and commercial projects that requires methods and efficiency standards exceeding State codes. This includes consideration of photovoltaic systems and all-electric building systems, modeled after the County’s green building ordinance.

2025 Energy Code: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 2 2025/08/15
1 Summary
The California Codes and Standards (C&S) Reach Codes program provides technical support to local governments considering adopting a local ordinance (reach code) intended to support meeting local and/or statewide energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction goals. The program facilitates adoption and implementation of the code when requested by local jurisdictions by providing resources such as cost-effectiveness studies, model language, sample findings, and other supporting documentation.

In April 2024, the Statewide Reach Codes Team published the 2022 Cost-Effectiveness Study: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades. This study focuses on existing single family buildings identifying cost-effective measures and measure package upgrades in all 16 California climate zones. The study was conducted to complement Part 6 of the California Building Code (the Energy Code) for the 2022 code cycle, effective January 1, 2023. In the 2019 code cycle the 2019 Cost-Effectiveness Study: Existing Single Family Residential Building Upgrades study included outdoor lighting and a water heater package that was discontinued in the 2022 study but has been brought back in this memo by request from jurisdictions. The studies document the estimated costs, benefits, energy impacts and greenhouse gas emission reductions that may result from implementing an ordinance to help local leadership, residents, and other stakeholders make informed policy decisions.

The Statewide Reach Codes Team reviewed the cost-effectiveness study for impacts of code changes implemented in the 2025 Energy Code. Measures that are now required by code may alter the results presented in the 2022 study. Below is a summary of the changes to the additions and alterations for residential buildings sections of the 2025 Energy Code. • Mandatory wall insulation R-value has been increased from R-13 to R-15. [Section 150.2(a) of the Energy Code]
• Prescriptive window U-factor has decreased from 0.30 to 0.27 in Climate Zones 1-5, 11-14, and 16. [Section 150.2(b)1B of the Energy Code]
The wall insulation measure has been re-evaluated with R-15 instead of R-13. There is generally a slight increase in utility cost savings as expected with the increase in efficiency.

However, there is not a substantial impact on the cost-effectiveness results.

For the prescriptive window U-factor, the original study modeled U-0.28 in all climate zones.

This updated memo drops the U-factor from 0.28 to 0.27 in all climate zones. The SHGC is maintained at 0.23 for climate zone 2, 4, and 6-15 and 0.35 for CZ 1, 3, 5, 16. There is minimal impact on the cost-effectiveness results due to this update. However, there are two instances in the 1978-1991 vintage where cost-effectiveness flips from cost-effective to not cost-effective. Climate zone 4 in PGE territory utilizing standard rates and the modest gas escalation is no longer cost-effective on-bill by the smallest margin. Climate zone 10 in SDGE territory utilizing CARE rates and the modest gas escalation has also become no longer cost-effective on-bill.

2025 Energy Code: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 3 2025/08/15
The 2022 study included a whole building air sealing measure defined as a 30% reduction in air leakage. A new measure – air sealing of the ceiling floor, representing a 14% reduction in air leakage – is added in this memo. Further details and cost-effectiveness results are provided in Section 2.

Lighting measures were previously presented in the 2019 Cost-Effectiveness Study: Existing Single Family Residential Building Upgrades study but were not analyzed in the 2022 study.

Updated cost-effectiveness analysis for this measure is presented in Section 3.

The water heating package measure was previously presented in 2019 Cost-Effectiveness Study: Existing Single Family Residential Building Upgrades study. Updated costeffectiveness analysis for this measure is presented in Section 4.

The 3 kW PV measure from the 2022 study is revised here with an updated costeffectiveness analysis that accounts for the elimination of the Federal Solar tax credit December 31, 2025. Additional details and analysis are provided in Section 5.

The 2022 report, model ordinance language and other resources are posted on the C&S Reach Codes Program website at LocalEnergyCodes.com. Local jurisdictions that are considering adopting an ordinance may contact the program for further technical support at [email protected].

2 Air Sealing at the Ceiling
Unlike full air sealing, which has previously been presented, air sealing of the ceiling floor may be an attractive measure for an attic remodel project. The whole building air sealing measure estimated a 30% reduction in air leakage, while air sealing at the ceiling measure results in a 14% reduction in air leakage.

Table 2 through Table 7 present the cost-effectiveness results for the air sealing at the ceiling plane measure. The estimated incremental cost for air sealing at the ceiling plane is $1,963 which is from the 2022 Residential Additions and Alterations CASE Report (Statewide CASE Team, 2020).

3 Lighting Measures
LED lighting and exterior lighting control measures were previously evaluated in the 2019 Cost-Effectiveness Study: Existing Single Family Residential Building Upgrades study.

These measures are not included in the 2022 Cost-Effectiveness Study: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades study, but have been re-evaluated and included in this memo.

The updated analysis follows the same methodology as the 2019 study, but with updated costs for equipment and updated utility rates.

The three measures evaluated are LED lighting, exterior photosensor, and LED lighting plus photosensor. Table 8 through Table 10 show the results for the different lighting measures evaluated. Each measure is explained in more detail below.

LED Lighting: Replace screw-in (A-based for lamps) incandescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) with light-emitting diode (LED) A-lamps. This analysis was conducted external to the energy model and evaluated replacement of a 13 W CFL lamp with an 9.6 W LED lamp operating 620 hours annually. Annual hour estimates were based on whole building average hours of operation from a 2010 lighting study by KEMA (KEMA, 2010). Lifetime assumptions were 10,000 hours for CFLs and 25,000 hours for LED lamps.

For incremental cost calculations it was assumed CFLs have a lifetime of 15 years, are installed five years prior to the retrofit, and would need to be replaced at year ten and 25.

Exterior Lighting Controls/Photosensor: Evaluation of exterior lighting controls was completed on a per-luminaire basis external to the energy model and assumes a screw-in photosensor control is installed in outdoor lighting luminaires. Energy savings of 12.1 kWh per year was applied based on analysis done by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, assuming LED lamps, 2.6 hours per day of operation, and that photosensor controls reduce operating hours on average 20 percent each day (CEE, 2014). Energy savings will be higher for incandescent or CFL luminaires.

Exterior Lighting Controls/Photosensor+LED: An additional evaluation was completed for exterior lighting controls on a per-luminaire basis external to the energy model and assumes a screw-in photosensor control is installed in outdoor lighting luminaires and incandescent lamps CFLs are replaced with light-emitting diode (LED) A-lamps. Energy savings of 14.3 kWh per year was applied based on the sum of the LED lighting and Exterior Lighting Controls with Photosensor kWh energy savings.

For the measures including a LED, a cost of $3.49 for LED dimmable A19 lamp 60 W equivalent is used. A cost of $1.74 is used for an equivalent CFL product which was used to estimate total replacement costs at years 10 and 25. Costs are based on a single LED lamp replacement. For the photosensor, an incremental cost of $12.62, based on a screw-in photosensor control, was obtained from an on-line product search of available products. A five-year lifetime for this type of control was assumed. 126

4 Water Heating Package
This package includes the following:
• R-6 water heater blanket
• R-3 hot water pipe insulation
• Low flow fixtures: two low flow showerheads and three sink aerators.

This analysis assumes the homeowner installs these measures themselves and therefore no labor costs. Costs are based on Home Depot prices from August of 2025. The water heater package is evaluated over a 15-year analysis period and assumes the modest gas escalation rate.

5 PV
The results for 3 kW PV have been updated from the 2022 study to remove the federal solar tax credit from the cost-effectiveness calculations. The removal of the solar tax credit has a substantial impact on many climate zones across all vintages and will impact the FlexPath.

The following describes the impacts and changes to cost-effectiveness from the 2022 study.

These observations are utilizing standard rates. Previously, with the solar tax credit, the 3 kW PV measure in the pre-1978 vintage was on-bill cost effective in all climate zones using both the modest and high gas escalation rates. However, with the credit removed, Climate Zones 1-3, 5, 6, and 12 are no longer cost effective on-bill for both the modest and high gas escalations.

Previously for the 1978-1991 vintage the only cases that were not on-bill cost effective were climate zones 2 and 6 utilizing the modest gas escalation. Now, with the credit removed, many more climate zones are no longer cost effective. Using the modest gas escalation, climate zones 1-3, 5, 6, 12, and 16 are not cost effective on-bill. Using the high gas escalation, climate zones 1-3, 5, 6, and 12 (SMUD) are not cost effective on-bill.

Previously for the 1992-2010 vintage the following cases were not cost effective on-bill:
climate zones 1-3, 5, and 6 utilizing the modest gas escalation and climate zone 6 using the high gas escalation. With the credit removed an increased number of climate zones are no longer cost effective. Using the modest gas escalation, climate zones 1-3, 4 (PGE) 5-9, 10 (SCE/SCG),12, and 16 are not cost effective on-bill. Using the high gas escalation, climate zones 1-3, 4 (PGE), 5-7, 9, 12, and 16 are not cost effective on-bill.

The cost-effectiveness results are presented in Table 12 through Table 1717. 131

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades Executive Summary
1 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 Executive Summary
The California Codes and Standards (C&S) Reach Codes program provides technical support to local governments considering adopting a local ordinance (reach code) intended to support meeting local and/or statewide energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. The program facilitates adoption and implementation of the code when requested by local jurisdictions by providing resources such as cost-effectiveness studies, model language, sample findings, and other supporting documentation.

This report documents cost-effective measure upgrades in existing single family buildings that exceed the minimum state requirements. It evaluates efficiency measures such as adding insulation, replacing windows, and duct upgrades, fuel substitution measures that upgrade space heating and water heating to heat pumps, and solar photovoltaics (PV) across all 16 California climate zones. A 1,665 square foot single family home prototype with an attached garage was evaluated in this study.

This analysis used two different metrics to assess the cost-effectiveness of the proposed upgrades. Both methodologies require estimating and quantifying the incremental costs and energy savings associated with each energy efficiency measure over a 30-year analysis period. On-Bill cost-effectiveness is a customer-based lifecycle cost (LCC) approach that values energy based upon estimated site energy usage and customer utility bill savings using today’s electricity and natural gas utility tariffs. Long-term Systemwide Cost (LSC) is the California Energy Commission’s LCC methodology for the 2025 Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) code cycle (previously referred to as Time Dependent Valuation (TDV)), which is intended to capture the long-term projected cost of energy including costs for providing energy during peak periods of demand, carbon emissions, grid transmission and distribution impacts. This is the methodology used by the Energy Commission in evaluating cost-effectiveness for efficiency measures in Title 24 code development.

The following summarizes key results from the study:

Conclusions and Discussion:

1. Envelope measures. Improving envelope performance is very cost-effective in many older homes. In addition to reducing utility costs, these measures provide many other benefits such as improving occupant comfort and satisfaction and increasing a home’s ability to maintain temperatures during extreme weather events and power outages. Below is a discussion of the results of specific measures. a. Adding attic insulation is cost-effective based on both LSC and On-Bill in many climate zones in homes with no more than R-19 existing attic insulation levels. Increasing attic insulation from R-30 to R-49 was still found to be cost-effective based on at least one metric in the colder and hotter climates of Climate Zone 10 (SDG&E territory only) through 16.
b. Insulating existing uninsulated walls is very cost-effective based on both metrics everywhere except Climate Zones 6 and 7 (in Climate Zone 8 it’s only cost-effective based on LSC). c. Adding R-19 or R-30 floor insulation is cost-effective based on LSC in the older two vintages (Pre-1978 and 1978-1991) in all CZ except CZ 6-10.
d. Replacing old single pane windows with new high-performance windows has a very high cost and is typically not done for energy savings alone. However, energy savings are substantial and justify costeffectiveness of this measure based on at least one metric in Climate Zones 4, 8 through 12 (PG&E territory only), and 13 through 16.
e. At time of roof replacement, a cool roof with an aged solar reflectance of 0.25 was found to be costeffective in Climate Zones 4, 6 through 12 (PG&E territory only), and 13 through 15. When the roof deck is replaced during a roof replacement, adding a radiant barrier is low cost and provides substantial cooling energy savings, and was found to be cost-effective in almost all climate zones and homes.

2. Duct measures: Many older homes have old, leaky duct systems that should be replaced when they reach the end of life, typically 20-30 years. In this case, installing new ducts was found to be cost-effective based on at least one metric (both in most cases) everywhere except mild Climate Zone 7 and Climate Zones 5 and 6 in 149
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades Executive Summary
2 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 the 1978-1991 vintage. If duct systems still have remaining life they should be sealed and tested to meet 10% leakage or lower; however, duct upgrades alone were only found to be cost-effective for newer homes in Climate Zones 10 (SDG&E territory only), 11, and 13 through 16. Duct upgrades may be able to be coupled with other measures to reduce the cost.

3. Heat pump space heating: HPSHs were found to be LSC cost-effective in many cases. The Dual Fuel Heat Pump (existing furnace) was LSC cost-effective everywhere except Climate Zone 15. The HPSH was LSC cost-effective everywhere except Climate Zones 8 and 15. a. Challenges to On-Bill cost-effectiveness include higher first costs and higher first-year utility costs due to higher electricity tariffs relative to gas tariffs. SMUD and CPAU are two exceptions where first year utility costs are lower for heat pumps than for gas equipment. Table 11 shows the impact of utility rates on cost-effectiveness of HPSH where the standard and high efficiency HPSH and the HPSH + PV measures are cost-effective under SMUD but not PG&E. Even with higher first year utility bills, there were some cases that still proved On-Bill cost-effective including the DFHP with an existing furnace in the central valley and northern coastal PG&E territories, the ducted MSHP in the central valley as well as Climate Zone 14 in SDG&E territory, and the HPSH + PV measure in CZ 3-5 (PGE), 7-11, and 12 (SMUD) – 15.
b. The ductless MSHPs were only found to be cost-effective based on either metric in Climate Zones 1 and 16. Ductless MSHPs have a high incremental cost because it is a more sophisticated system than the base model of a wall furnace with a window AC unit. However, the ductless MSHP would provide greater comfort benefits if properly installed to directly condition all habitable spaces (as is required under the VCHP compliance credit as evaluated in this study) which may be an incentive for a homeowner to upgrade their system.
c. Higher efficiency equipment lowered utility costs in all cases and improved cost-effectiveness in many cases, particularly with a ducted MSHP.

4. Heat pump water heating: All the HPWH measures were LSC cost-effective in all climate zones. Most measures were not On-Bill cost-effective with the exception of the HPWH + PV which was cost-effective OnBill in CPAU, SMUD, and SDG&E territories in addition to Climate Zones 11, 13, 14, and 15. The HPWH measures share many of the same challenges as the HPSH measures to achieving cost-effectiveness including high first costs and utility rates and assumptions. Table 13 shows the impact of utility rates on costeffectiveness where some HPWH measures are cost-effective under SMUD utility rates but are not costeffective anywhere under PG&E rates in Climate Zone 12. a. Various HPWH locations were also explored, however there are some factors outside of costeffectiveness that should also be considered. i. HPWHs in the conditioned space can provide benefits such as free-cooling during the summer, reduced tank losses, and shorter pipe lengths, and in some cases show improved cost-effectiveness over garage located HPWHs. However, there are various design considerations such as noise, comfort concerns, an additional heating load in the winter, and condensate removal. Ducting the inlet and exhaust air resolves comfort concerns but adds costs and complexity. Split heat pump water heaters address these concerns, but currently there are limited products on the market and there is a cost premium relative to the packaged products.
ii. Since HPWHs extract heat from the air and transfer it to water in the storage tank, they must have adequate ventilation to operate properly. Otherwise, the space cools down over time, impacting the HPWH operating efficiency. This is not a problem with garage installations but needs to be considered for water heaters located in interior or exterior closets. For the 2025 Title 24 code the CEC is proposing that all HPWH installations meet mandatory ventilation requirements (California Energy Commission, 2023).

5. The contractor surveys revealed overall higher heat pump costs than what has been found in previous analyses. This could be due to incentive availability raising demand for heat pumps and thereby increasing the price. This price increase may be temporary and may come down once the market stabilizes. There are also 150

3 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 new initiatives to obtain current costs including the TECH Clean California program1 that publishes heat pump data and costs; however, at the time of this analysis, the TECH data did not contain incremental costs because it only had the heat pump costs but not the gas base case costs.

6. Table 18 shows how CARE rates and escalation rate assumptions will impact cost-effectiveness. a. Applying CARE rates in the IOU territories has the overall impact to increase utility cost savings for an all-electric building compared to a code compliant mixed fuel building, improving On-Bill costeffectiveness. This is due to the CARE discount on electricity being higher than that on gas. The reverse occurs with efficiency measures where lower utility rates reduce savings and subsequently reduce cost-effectiveness.
b. If gas tariffs are assumed to increase substantially over time, in-line with the escalation assumption from the 2025 LSC development, cost-effectiveness substantially improves for the heat pump measures over the 30-year analysis period and many cases become cost-effective that were not found to be cost-effective under the CPUC / 2022 TDV escalation scenario. There is much uncertainty surrounding future tariff structures as well as escalation values. While it’s clear that gas rates will increase, how much and how quickly is not known. Future electricity tariff structures are expected to evolve over time, and the CPUC has an active proceeding to adopt an income-graduated fixed charge that benefits low-income customers and supports electrification measures for all customers.2 The CPUC will make a decision in mid-2024 and the new rates are expected to be in place later that year or in 2025. While the anticipated impact of this rate change is lower volumetric electricity rates, the rate design is not finalized. While lower volumetric electricity rates provide many benefits, it also will make building efficiency measures harder to justify as cost-effective due to lower utility bill cost savings.

7. Under NBT, utility cost savings for PV are substantially less than what they were under prior net energy metering rules (NEM 2.0); however, savings are sufficient to be On-Bill cost-effective in all climate zones except Climate Zones 1 through 3, 5, and 6.
a. Combining a heat pump with PV allows the additional electricity required by the heat pump to be offset by the PV system while also increasing on-site utilization of PV generation rather than exporting the electricity back to the grid at a low rate.
b. While not evaluated in this study, coupling PV with battery systems can be very advantageous under NBT increasing utility cost savings because of improved on-site utilization of PV generation and fewer exports to the grid.

Recommendations:

1. There are various approaches for jurisdictions who are interested in reach codes for existing buildings. Some potential approaches are listed below along with key considerations. a. Prescriptive measures: Non-preempted measures that are found to be cost-effective may be prescriptively required in a reach code. One example of this type or ordinance is a cool roof requirement at time of roof replacement. Another example is requiring specific cost-effective measures for larger remodels, such as high-performance windows when new windows are installed or duct sealing and testing when ducts are in an unconditioned space. b. Replacement equipment: This flavor of reach code sets certain requirements at time of equipment replacement. This study evaluated space heating and water heating equipment. Where a heat pump measure was found to be cost-effective based on either LSC or On-Bill, this may serve as the basis of a reach code given the following considerations.
i. Where reach codes reduce energy usage and are not just fuel switching, cost-effectiveness calculations are required and must be based on equipment that does not exceed the federal minimum efficiency requirements.
ii. Where reach codes are established using cost-effectiveness based on LSC, utility bill impacts and the owner’s first cost should also be reviewed and considered. 1 TECH Public Reporting Home Page (techcleanca.com)

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades Executive Summary
4 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 iii. A gas path should also be prescriptively allowed to safely satisfy federal preemption requirements considering the CRA v. Berkeley case.3 Additional requirements may apply to the gas path, as described in Section 3.3, as long as the paths are reasonably energy or cost equivalent.
c. “Flexible Path”, minimum energy savings target: This flexible approach establishes a target for required energy savings based on a measure or a set of measures that were found to be cost-effective based on either LSC or On-Bill. A points menu compares various potential upgrades ranging from efficiency, PV, and fuel substitution measures, based on site or source energy savings. The applicant must select upgrades that individually or in combination meet the minimum energy savings target. The maximum target value shown in the Cost-effectiveness Explorer is based on a combination of costeffective, non-preempted measures.

2. Equipment replacement ordinances should consider appropriate exceptions for scenarios where it will be challenging to meet the requirements, such as location of the HPWH, total project cost limitations, or the need for service panel upgrades that wouldn’t have been required as part of the proposed scope of work in absence of the reach code.

3. Consider extending relevant proposals made by the CEC for the 2025 Title 24 code (California Energy Commission, 2023) in ordinances that apply under the 2022 Title 24 code, such as the following:
a. Mandatory ventilation requirements for HPWH installations (Section 110.3(c)7). The cost-effectiveness analysis can be found in the Multifamily Domestic Hot Water CASE report (Statewide Team, 2023). b. Requirement for HERS verified refrigerant charge verification for heat pumps in all climate zones (Table 150.1-A4). The cost-effectiveness analysis can be found in the Residential HVAC Performance CASE report (Statewide Team, 2023).

4. When evaluating reach code strategies, the Reach Codes Team recommends that jurisdictions consider combined benefits of energy efficiency alongside electrification. Efficiency and electrification have symbiotic benefits and are both critical for decarbonization of buildings. As demand on the electric grid is increased through electrification, efficiency can reduce the negative impacts of additional electricity demand on the grid, reducing the need for increased generation and storage capacity, as well as the need to upgrade upstream transmission and distribution equipment.

5. Education and training can play a critical role in ensuring that heat pumps are installed, commissioned, and controlled properly to mitigate grid impacts and maximize occupant satisfaction. Below are select recommended strategies.
a. The Quality Residential HVAC Services Program5 is an incentive program to train California contractors in providing quality installation and maintenance while advancing energy-efficient technologies in the residential HVAC industry. Jurisdictions can market this to local contractors to increase the penetration of contractors skilled in heat pump design and installation. b. Educate residents and contractors of available incentives, tax credits, and financing opportunities. c. Educate contractors on code requirements. Energy Code Ace provides free tools, training, and resources to help Californians comply with the energy code. Contractors can access interactive compliance forms, fact sheets, and live and recorded trainings, among other things, on the website:
https://energycodeace.com/. Jurisdictions can reach out to Energy Code Ace directly to discuss offerings.

6. Health and safety
a. Combustion Appliance Safety and Indoor Air Quality: Implementation of some of the recommended measures will affect the pressure balance of the home which can subsequently impact the safe operation of existing combustion appliances as well as indoor air quality. Buildings with older gas appliances can present serious health and safety problems which may not be addressed in a remodel 3 https://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/sites/default/files/2024-01/CRA-v-Berkeley-Ninth-Circuit-Opinion-Jan2024.pdf 4 This requirement does not show up in the Express Terms for alterations in Section 150.2(b)1F, but the Statewide Reach Codes Team expects that it will be added to the next release of the proposed code language in the 45-day language as it aligns with the proposal made by the Codes and Standards Enhancement Team (Statewide CASE Team, 2023). 5 https://qualityhvac.frontierenergy.com/ 152
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades Executive Summary
5 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 if the appliances are not being replaced. It is recommended that the building department require inspection and testing of all combustion appliances located within the pressure boundary of the building after completion of retrofit work that involves air sealing or insulation measures. b. Jurisdictions may consider requiring mechanical ventilation in homes where air sealing has been conducted. In older buildings, outdoor air is typically introduced through leaks in the building envelope.

After air sealing a building, it may be necessary to forcefully bring in fresh outdoor air using supply and/or exhaust fans to minimize potential issues associated with indoor air quality.

Local jurisdictions may also adopt ordinances that amend different Parts of the California Building Standards Code or may elect to amend other state or municipal codes. The decision regarding which code to amend will determine the specific requirements that must be followed for an ordinance to be legally enforceable. For example, reach codes that amend Part 6 of the CA Building Code and require energy performance beyond state code minimums must demonstrate the proposed changes are cost-effective and obtain approval from the Energy Commission as well as the Building Standards Commission (BSC). Amendments to Part 11, such as requirements for increased water efficiency or electric vehicle infrastructure only require BSC approval. Although a cost-effectiveness study is only required to amend Part 6 of the CA Building Code, this study provides valuable context for jurisdictions pursuing other ordinance paths to understand the economic impacts of any policy decision. This study documents the estimated costs, benefits, energy impacts and greenhouse gas emission reductions that may result from implementing an ordinance based on the results to help residents, local leadership, and other stakeholders make informed policy decisions.

This report documents the key results and conclusions from the Reach Codes Team analysis. A full dataset of all results can be downloaded at https://localenergycodes.com/content/resources. Results alongside policy options can also be explored using the Cost-effectiveness Explorer at https://explorer.localenergycodes.com/.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades Introduction
6 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 1 Introduction
This report documents cost-effective measure upgrades in existing single family buildings that exceed the minimum state requirements, the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, effective January 1, 2023. Local jurisdictions in California may consider adopting local energy ordinances to achieve energy savings beyond what will be accomplished by enforcing building efficiency requirements that apply statewide. This report was developed in coordination with the California Statewide Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) Codes and Standards Program, key consultants, and engaged cities—collectively known as the Statewide Reach Codes Team.

The focus of this study is on existing single family buildings and does not apply to low or high-rise multifamily buildings.

Each jurisdiction must establish the appropriate structure and threshold for triggering the proposed requirements.

Some common jurisdictional structures include triggering the requirements at major remodels, additions, or date-certain (upgrades must be completed by a specific date). Some of these measures could be triggered with a permit for another specific measure, such as a re-roofing project. The analysis includes scenarios of individual measures and identifies cost-effective options based on the existing conditions of the building in all 16 California Climate Zones (CZ) (see CostEffectiveness Results for a graphical depiction of climate zone locations).

The California Codes and Standards (C&S) Reach Codes program provides technical support to local governments considering adopting a local ordinance (reach code) intended to support meeting local and/or statewide energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction goals. The program facilitates adoption and implementation of the code when requested by local jurisdictions by providing resources such as cost-effectiveness studies, model language, sample findings, and other supporting documentation.

The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) (CEC, 2019) is maintained and updated every three years by two state agencies: the California Energy Commission (the Energy Commission) and the Building Standards Commission (BSC). In addition to enforcing the code, local jurisdictions have the authority to adopt local energy efficiency ordinances—or reach codes—that exceed the minimum standards defined by Title 24 (as established by Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(h)2 and Section 10-106 of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards).

Local jurisdictions must demonstrate that the requirements of the proposed ordinance are cost-effective and do not result in buildings consuming more energy than is permitted by Title 24. In addition, the jurisdiction must obtain approval from the Energy Commission and file the ordinance with the BSC for the ordinance to be legally enforceable.

The Department of Energy (DOE) sets minimum efficiency standards for equipment and appliances that are federally regulated under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act, including heating, cooling, and water heating equipment (E-CFR, 2020). Since state and local governments are prohibited from adopting higher minimum efficiencies than the federal standards require, the focus of this study is to identify and evaluate cost-effective packages that do not include high efficiency heating, cooling, and water heating equipment. High efficiency appliances are often the easiest and most affordable measure to increase energy performance. While federal preemption limits reach code mandatory requirements for covered appliances, in practice, builders may install any package of compliant measures to achieve the performance requirements.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades Methodology and Assumptions
7 California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 2 Methodology and Assumptions

2.1 Analysis for Reach Codes
This section describes the approach to calculating cost-effectiveness including benefits, costs, metrics, and utility rate selection.

2.1.1 Modeling
The Reach Codes Team performed energy simulations using the 2025 research version of the Residential California Building Energy Code Compliance software (CBECC). The 2025 version of CBECC was used instead of the 2022 version to take advantage of updated weather files and metrics. Site energy results are similar between CBECC-Res 2022 and 2025; however, the 2025 compliance metrics applies assumptions reflective of an electrified future, such as high escalation for natural gas retail rates, which favors electric buildings. In addition, in 2025 the weather stations were changed in Climate Zones 4 and 6 from San Jose to Paso Robles and Torrance to Los Angeles International Airport, respectively.

Three unique building vintages are considered: pre-1978, 1978-1991, and 1992-2010. The vintages were defined based on review of historic Title 24 code requirements and defining periods with distinguishing features. Prospective energy efficiency measures were identified and modeled to determine the projected site energy (therm and kWh), source energy, GHG emissions, and LSC (long-term systemwide cost) impacts. Annual utility costs were calculated using hourly data output from CBECC, and current (as of 11/01/2023) electricity and natural gas tariffs for each of the investor-owned utilities (IOUs) appropriate for that climate zone.

Equivalent CO2 emission reductions were calculated based on outputs from the CBECC-Res simulation software.

Electricity emissions vary by region and by hour of the year. CBECC-Res applies two distinct hourly profiles, one for Climate Zones 1 through 5 and 11 through 13 and another for Climate Zones 6 through 10 and 14 through 16. Natural gas emissions do not vary hourly. To compare the mixed-fuel and all-electric cases side-by-side, GHG emissions are presented as lbs CO2-equivalent (CO2e) emissions.

The Statewide Reach Codes Team designed the analysis approach and selected measures for evaluation based on the 2019 existing building single family reach code analysis (Statewide Reach Codes Team, 2021) and work to support the 2025 Title 24 code development cycle as well as from outreach to architects, builders, and engineers.

2.1.2 Prototype Characteristics
The Energy Commission defines building prototypes which it uses to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of proposed changes to Title 24 requirements. Average home size has steadily increased over time,6 and the Energy Commission single family new construction prototypes are larger than many existing single family homes across California. For this analysis, a 1,665 square foot prototype was evaluated. Table 1 describes the basic characteristics of the single family prototype. Additions are not evaluated in this analysis as they are already addressed in Section 150.2 of Title 24, Part

6. The CEC has proposed changes to the 2025 Energy Code that would remove the allowance of gas space heating and water heating equipment for additions and instead require additions to follow the same space heating and water heating equipment requirements as new construction (California Energy Commission, 2023). The proposed prescriptive requirements for single family new construction homes are heat pump space heaters and water heaters, with gas equipment only allowed in the performance approach. 6 https://www.census.gov/const/C25Ann/sftotalmedavgsqft.pdf 155

Three building vintages were evaluated to determine sensitivity of existing building performance on cost-effectiveness of upgrades. For example, it is widely recognized that adding attic insulation in an older home with no insulation is costeffective, however, newer homes will likely have existing attic insulation reducing the cost-effectiveness of an incremental addition of insulation. The building characteristics for each vintage were determined based on either prescriptive requirements from Title 24 that were in effect or standard construction practice during that time period.

Homes built under 2001 Title 24 are subject to prescriptive envelope code requirements very similar to homes built under the 2005 code cycle, which was in effect until January 1, 2010.

Table 2 summarizes the assumptions for each of the three vintages. Additionally, the analysis assumed the following features when modeling the prototype buildings. Efficiencies were defined by year of the most recent equipment replacement based on standard equipment lifetimes.
• Individual space conditioning and water heating systems, one per single family building. • Split-system air conditioner with natural gas furnace. o Scenarios with an existing natural gas wall furnace without AC were also evaluated. • Small storage natural gas water heater.
o Scenarios with an existing electric resistance storage water heater were also evaluated. • Gas cooktop, oven, and clothes dryer.

The methodology applied in the analyses begins with a design that matches the specifications as described in Table 2 for each of the three vintages. Prospective energy efficiency measures were modeled to determine the projected energy performance and utility cost impacts relative to the baseline vintage. In some cases, where logical, measures were packaged together.

2.1.3 Cost-Effectiveness Approach

2.1.3.1 Benefits
This analysis used two different metrics to assess the cost-effectiveness of the proposed upgrades. Both methodologies require estimating and quantifying the incremental costs and energy savings associated with each energy efficiency measure. The main difference between the methodologies is the way they value energy impacts (the numerator in the benefit cost calculation):

Utility Bill Impacts (On-Bill): This customer-based lifecycle cost (LCC) approach values energy based upon estimated site energy usage and customer utility bill savings using the latest electricity and natural gas utility tariffs available at the time of writing this report. Total savings are estimated over a 30-year duration and include discounting of future utility costs, as well as assumed energy cost inflation over time.

Long-term Systemwide Cost (LSC): Formerly known as Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) energy cost savings, LSC reflects the Energy Commission’s current LCC methodology, which is intended to capture the total value or cost of energy use over 30 years. This method accounts for the hourly cost of marginal generation, transmission and distribution, fuel, capacity, losses, and cap-and-trade-based CO2 emissions (California Energy Commission, 2023).

This is the methodology used by the Energy Commission in evaluating cost-effectiveness for efficiency measures in the 2025 Energy Code.

2.1.3.2 Costs
The Reach Codes Team assessed the incremental costs of the measures and packages over a 30-year analysis period. Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacement, and maintenance costs of the proposed measure relative to the 2022 Title 24 Standards minimum requirements or standard industry practices. Present value of replacement cost is included only for measures with lifetimes less than the 30-year evaluation period. In cases where at the end of the analysis period the measure has useful life remaining, the value of this remaining life is calculated and credited in the total lifetime cost.

2.1.3.3 Metrics
Cost-effectiveness is presented using net present value (NPV) and benefit-to-cost (B/C) ratio metrics.

NPV: Equation 1 demonstrates how lifetime NPV is calculated. If the NPV of a measure or package is positive, it is considered cost-effective. A negative value represents a net increase in costs over the 30-year lifetime.

B/C Ratio: This is the ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all costs over 30 years (present value benefits divided by present value costs). A value of one indicates the NPV of the savings over the life of the measure is equivalent to the NPV of the lifetime incremental cost of that measure. A value greater than one represents a positive return on investment. The B/C ratio is calculated according to Equation 2.

Equation 1
𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 = 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑏 − 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 𝑐𝑐 Equation 2

Improving the efficiency of a project often requires an initial incremental investment. In most cases the benefit is represented by annual On-Bill utility or LSC savings, and the cost is represented by incremental first cost and future replacement costs. Some packages result in initial construction cost savings relative to the assumed base case scenario, and either energy cost savings (positive benefits), or increased energy costs (negative benefits). In cases where both construction costs and energy-related savings are negative, the construction cost savings are treated as the ‘benefit’ while the increased energy costs are the ‘cost.’ In cases where a measure or package is costeffective immediately (i.e., upfront construction cost savings and lifetime energy cost savings), B/C ratio costeffectiveness is represented by “>1”. 158

Both base case measures and alternative energy efficiency measures may have different lifetime assumptions which impact life cycle economics. Future costing of many of the evaluated electrification measures are only based on current cost assumption, which may be overly conservative as the expected growth in heat pump-based technologies is growing rapidly and will likely lead to future cost reductions (at least relative to current fossil fueled equipment) as production volumes increase.

2.1.4 Utility Rates
In coordination with the CA IOU rate team (comprised of representatives from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E)) and two Publicly-Owned-Utilities (POUs) (Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU)), the Reach Codes Team determined appropriate utility rates for each climate zone to calculate utility costs and determine On-Bill costeffectiveness for the proposed measures and packages. The utility tariffs, summarized in Chapter 6.2, were determined based on the appropriate rate for each case in each territory. Utility rates were applied to each climate zone based on the predominant IOU serving the population of each zone, with a few climate zones evaluated multiple times under different utility scenarios. Climate Zones 10 and 14 were evaluated with both SCE for electricity and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) for gas and SDG&E tariffs for both electricity and gas since each utility has customers within these climate zones. Climate Zone 5 is evaluated under both PG&E and SoCalGas natural gas rates.

Two POU or municipal utility rates were also evaluated: SMUD in Climate Zone 12 and CPAU in Climate Zone 4.

For cases with onsite generation (i.e. solar photovoltaics (PV)), the approved NBT tariffs were applied along with monthly service fees and hourly export compensation rates for 2024.7 In December 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a decision adopting NBT as a successor to NEM 2.0 that went into effect April of 20238.

Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time according to the assumptions from the CPUC 2021 En Banc hearings on utility costs through 2030 (California Public Utilities Commission, 2021a). Escalation rates through the remainder of the 30-year evaluation period are based on the escalation rate assumptions within the 2022 TDV factors. The Statewide Natural Gas Residential Average Rate for 2023 through 2030 is projected to be 4.6%. The Electric Residential Average Rate for PG&E, SCE and SDG&E for 2023 through 2030 is projected to be 1.8%,1.6% and 2.8% respectively. A second set of escalation rates were also evaluated to demonstrate the impact that utility cost changes have on cost-effectiveness over time. This utility rate escalation sensitivity analysis, presented in Section 3.2.4, was based on those used within the 2025 LSC factors (LSC replaces TDV in the 2025 code cycle) which assumed steep 7 Hourly export compensation rates were based on the NBT spreadsheet model created by E3 for the CPUC. https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/-/media/cpuc-website/divisions/energy-division/documents/net-energy-meteringnem/nemrevisit/nbt-model--12142022.xlsb 8 https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/nemrevisit 159

California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 increases in gas rates in the latter half of the analysis period. See Appendix 6.2.7 Fuel Escalation Assumptions for details.

Future electricity tariff structures are expected to evolve over time, and the CPUC has an active proceeding to adopt an income-graduated fixed charge that benefits low-income customers and supports electrification measures.10 These were not included in this analysis but may be evaluated later in 2024 once the rates are finalized.

2.1.5 Measure Cost Data Collection Approach
To support this effort, a detailed cost study was completed in the summer of 2023 to gather data from a range of contractors to inform actual installed costs in the areas they provide services. These areas include HVAC, plumbing, envelope and air-sealing, and PV installation. Home performance contractors were also approached to collect this data. Collecting this type of data is challenging, both due to contractor reticence to share cost information and due to the timing of the survey which unfortunately coincided with the summer busy season for most contractors, especially HVAC installers. With these known challenges, the outreach effort focused on leveraging existing relationships between the analysis team and contractors to both gain access and provide assurance that all cost data would remain confidential and aggregated. Contractors that provided feedback were nominally compensated for their time.

The collected cost data was intended to represent recent costs for a “typical” retrofit installation. Each home in which a contractor does work has different site-specific issues that will likely affect costs. In addition, different jurisdictions have different levels of building department installation oversight and permit fees. Finally, each contractor typically has a different manufacturer product line they prefer to install. All these factors will influence installed costs11.

The most detailed and broad cost request was for the HVAC contractors, as there are a wide range of equipment replacement scenarios available for an existing ducted gas furnace with central split-system air conditioning. Options range from a base case scenario (like for like swap out), split-system heat pump replacement, dual fuel heat pumps (DFHP), ducted mini-split heat pumps, non-ducted mini-splits, etc. For plumbing contractors, a range of scenarios existed for water heater replacements including like-for-like replacement, HPWHs (in different locations- garage, indoor), need for electrical upgrade for HPWH installation, need for HPWH ducting, etc. Envelope measures focused on attic and wall insulation, window replacement, re-roofing (with Cool Roof materials or not), and attic ceiling plane airsealing. PV costing included different system sizes, panel upgrades costs, and battery costs. Home performance contractors were asked to provide as much data as they could on the different measure options. All costing information requested was intended to represent most recent installations, in an effort to capture current pricing as best as possible.

The contractors that responded with their cost estimates work in different regions of the state, operate in different markets with (potentially) different local efficiency incentives, do varying amounts of work based on the size of their company, target different market demographic sectors, and install different brands of equipment. All these factors will contribute to price variability. The Team considered applying climate zone specific cost adjustments to reflect some of these differences, but ultimately decided not to since a climate zone is not a monolithic entity with uniform customer pricing throughout. The Team recognizes that “zip code” pricing is a reality, but for simplicity, as well as consistency with Title 24, Part 6 code development costing approaches, applied uniform statewide costs to all measures.

2.2 Measure Details and Cost
This section describes the details of the measures and documents incremental costs. All measure costs were obtained from the contractor survey unless otherwise noted. All contractor provided costs reflect the cost to the customer and 10 https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-and-topics/electrical-energy/electric-costs/demand-response-dr/demandflexibility-rulemaking 11 One HVAC contractor mentioned that equipment brand alone may contribute to a +/-%5 variation in the total bid cost.

California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 include equipment, labor, permit fees, and required HERS testing. Additional details of the measures can be found in Appendix Section Error! Reference source not found..

All measures are evaluated assuming they are not otherwise required by Title 24. For example, duct sealing is required by code whenever HVAC equipment is altered. For this analysis duct sealing was evaluated for those projects where it is not already triggered by code (i.e., no changes to the heating or cooling equipment). Where appropriate, measure requirements align with those defined in Title 24. In some cases, cost-effective measures were identified that exceed Title 24 requirements, such as attic insulation, cool roofs, and duct sealing.

2.2.1 Building Envelope & Duct Measures
The following are descriptions of each of the efficiency upgrade measures applied in this analysis.

Attic Insulation: Add attic insulation in buildings with vented attic spaces to meet either R-38 or R-49. The pre-1978 vintage assumes an existing condition of R-11, the 1978-1991 vintage assumes an existing condition of R-19, and the 1992-2010 vintage assumes R-30 as the existing insulation level. For pre-1978 vintage homes this measure was also evaluated to include air sealing of the attic. A 14% leakage reduction was modeled such that 15 ACH50 was reduced to 12.9 ACH50 in this measure. The costs for this measure include removing existing insulation.

Air Sealing and Weather-stripping: Apply air sealing practices throughout all accessible areas of the building. For this study, it was assumed that older vintage homes would be leakier than newer buildings and that approximately 30 percent improvement in air leakage is achievable through air sealing of all accessible areas. For modeling purposes, it was assumed that air sealing can reduce infiltration levels from 15 to ten air changes per hour at 50 Pascals pressure difference (ACH50) in the oldest vintages (pre-1978), to ten to seven ACH50 for the 1978-1991 vintage, and seven to five ACH50 in the 1992-2010 vintage.

Cool Roof: For steep slope roofs, install a roofing product rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) with an aged solar reflectance of 0.20 or 0.25 and thermal emittance of 0.75 or higher. This measure only applies to buildings that are installing a new roof as part of the scope of the remodel; the cost and energy savings associated with this upgrade reflects the incremental step between a standard roofing product with one that is CRRC rated with an aged solar reflectance of 0.20 or 0.25. This is similar to cool roof requirements in 2022 Title 24 Section 150.2(b)1Ii but assumes a higher solar reflectance.

Radiant Barrier: Add radiant barrier to any existing home vintage. This measure only applies to buildings that are installing a new roof as part of the scope of the remodel; the cost and energy savings associated with this upgrade reflects the incremental step between a standard roofing product with one that includes a laminated radiant barrier.

Raised Floor Insulation: In existing homes with raised floors and no insulation (pre-1978 and 1978-1991 vintages), add R-19 insulation. An upgraded R-30 floor insulation, assuming no current insulation, was evaluated in the pre-1978 and 1978-1991 vintages.

Wall Insulation: Blow-in R-13 wall insulation in existing homes without wall insulation (pre-1978 vintages).

Window Replacement: Replace existing windows with a non-metal dual-pane product, which has a U-factor equal to

0.28 Btu/hour-ft2-°F or lower and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) equal to 0.23 or lower, except in heating dominated climates (Climate Zones 1, 3, 5, and 16) where an SHGC of 0.35 was evaluated.

Duct Sealing, New Ducts, and Duct Insulation: Air seal all ductwork to meet the requirements of the 2022 Title 24, Part 6 Section 150.2(b)1E. For this analysis, final duct leakage values of ten percent (proposed revised leakage rate for 2022 Title 24) was evaluated. The pre-1978 and 1978-1992 vintages assume leaky existing ducts (25-30% leakage).

The 1992-2010 vintage assumes moderately leaky existing ducts (15-20% leakage).

Replacing existing ductwork with entirely new ductwork to meet Sections 150.2(b)1Di and 150.2(b)1Diia of the 2022 Title 24 was also evaluated. This assumed new ducts meet 5% duct leakage and the option of R-6 and R-8 duct insulation in all climate zones.

2.2.2 PV Measures
Installation of on-site PV is required in the 2022 Title 24 code for new construction homes, but there are no PV requirements for additions or alterations to existing buildings. PV was evaluated in CBECC-Res according to the California Flexible Installation (CFI) 1 assumptions and 98% solar access. To meet CFI eligibility, the requirements of 2022 Reference Appendices JA11.2.2 (California Energy Commission, 2021b) must be met. A 3 kW PV system was modeled both as a standalone measure as well as coupled with heat pump installations.

The costs for installing PV are summarized in Table 4. They include the first cost to purchase and install the system, future inverter replacement costs, and annual maintenance costs. Upfront solar PV system costs are estimated from the contractor surveys to be $4.58/WDC and are reduced by 30 percent to account for the federal income Residential Clean Energy Credit. The solar panels are estimated to have an effective useful life of 30 years and the inverter 25 years. The inverter replacement cost of $7,000 (future value) is also from the contractor surveys. System maintenance costs are taken from the 2019 PV CASE Report (California Energy Commission, 2017) and are assumed to be 162

2.2.3 Equipment Fuel Substitution Measures – Heat Pump Equipment The fuel substitution measures are evaluated as replacements at the end of the life of the existing equipment. This means the baseline compared against is usually a like-for-like change-out of the natural gas equipment, and the upgrade is a heat pump.

For most of the space heating and water heating cases, costs for electrical service panel upgrades are not included as it is assumed many existing homes have the service capacity to support converting one appliance from gas to electric.

For homes with existing air conditioners, any incremental electric capacity necessary to support a heat pump space heater is marginal. The same applies for homes with existing electric resistance equipment. Section 3.2.4 presents the impacts for select cases where an upgrade to the electric panel is required.

Heat Pump Space Heating
All the heat pump space heater (HPSH) measures are described below. All were evaluated with HERS verified refrigerant charge aligned with the proposed code requirements for the 2025 Title 24 code. Dual fuel heat pumps (DFHPs) were controlled to lockout furnace operation above 35°F.

DFHP (Existing Furnace): Replace existing ducted air conditioner (AC) with an electric heat pump and install controls to operate the heat pump to use the existing gas furnace for backup heat. A minimum federal efficiency (14.3 SEER2,

11.7 EER2, 7.5 HSPF2) heat pump was evaluated. Savings are compared to a new AC (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2) alongside the existing furnace (78 AFUE).

DFHP (New Furnace): Replace existing ducted AC and natural gas furnace with an electric heat pump and new gas furnace plus controls to operate the heat pump and use the new gas furnace for backup heat. A minimum federal efficiency (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 7.5 HSPF2) heat pump and furnace (80 AFUE) were evaluated to replace existing equipment. Savings are compared to a new ducted AC and natural gas furnace (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 80 AFUE).

Heat Pump Space Heater: Replace existing ducted AC and natural gas furnace with an electric heat pump. Minimum federal efficiency (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 7.5 HSPF2) and higher efficiency (17 SEER2, 12.48 EER2, 9.5 HSPF2) heat pumps were evaluated. Savings are compared to a new ducted natural gas furnace and AC (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 80 AFUE).

Ducted Mini-Split Heat Pump (MSHP): Replace existing ducted AC and natural gas furnace with a ducted high efficiency MSHP (16.5 SEER2, 12.48 EER2, 9.5 HSPF2). Savings are compared to a new ducted AC and natural gas furnace (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 80 AFUE).

Ductless MSHP: In a home without AC, replace existing wall furnace with a ductless MSHP. A standard efficiency unit meeting minimum federal efficiency standards (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 7.5 HSPF2) was evaluated by modeling the variable capacity heat pump (VCHP) compliance credit in CBECC-Res. A premium, higher efficiency upgrade was also 163
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 16 Methodology and Assumptions
California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 evaluated using CBECC-Res’ detailed VCHP model12 by simulating the performance of a representative high efficiency product (14.3 SEER2, 11.7 EER2, 7.5 HSPF2). Savings are compared to a new natural gas wall furnace with fan distribution (75% AFUE) and window AC (9 CEER).

Over the 30-year analysis period, certain changes are assumed when the equipment is replaced that impact both lifetime costs and energy use. Table 5 presents the lifetime scenario for the DFHP (existing furnace) measure. The analysis assumed a 20-year effective useful lifetime (EUL) for a furnace, a 15-year EUL for an air conditioner and a 15- year EUL for a heat pump. Lifetimes are based on the Database for Energy Efficient Resources (DEER) (California Public Utilities Commission, 2021b). The existing furnace is assumed to be halfway through its EUL at the beginning of the analysis period. After 10 years when the furnace reaches the end of its life and needs to be replaced, it will be subject to new federal efficiency standards for residential gas furnaces that go into effect in 2028 requiring 95 AFUE13. 5 years later the air conditioner reaches the end of its life and is replaced with a new air conditioner.

For the DFHP upgrade case, after 10 years when the furnace fails it’s expected that the furnace will be abandoned in place since the heat pump serves primary heating and was sized to provide the full design heating load. In this case it is assumed that the fan motor would be replaced with a new aftermarket unit and would operate another 5 years until the heat pump fails and is replaced with a new heat pump and air handler.

The other ducted heat pump cases similarly apply a 95 AFUE furnace in the baseline when the furnace reaches its EUL after 20 years.

Costs were applied based on the system capacity from heating and cooling load calculations in CBECC-Res as presented in Table 6. Air conditioner nominal capacity was calculated as the CBECC-Res cooling load, rounded up to the nearest half ton. Heat pump nominal capacity was calculated as the maximum of either the CBECC-Res heating or cooling load, rounded up to the nearest half ton. In both cases a minimum capacity of 1.5-ton was applied as this represents the typical smallest available split system heat pump equipment. Load calculations demonstrated that Climate Zones 2 - 15 were cooling-dominated while Climate Zones 1 and 16 were heating-dominated. In the heating dominated climate zones the heat pump needed to be upsized relative to an air conditioner that only provides cooling. 12 The detailed VCHP option allows for the user to input detailed specifications based on the published National Energy Efficiency Partnership (NEEP) manufacturer specific performance data. It is not currently available for compliance analysis.

Table 7 presents estimated first and lifetime costs for the various ducted baseline and heat pump scenarios for 4-ton equipment. Costs include all material and installation labor including providing new 240 V electrical service to the air handler location for all new air handler installations and decommissioning of the furnace for the cases where the furnace is removed. DFHP costs incorporate controls installation and commissioning to ensure the heat pump and the furnace communicate properly and don’t operate at the same time. Future replacement costs do not include any initial costs associated with 240V electrical service or furnace decommissioning.

Table 8 presents estimated first and lifetime costs for the ductless baseline and 2 heat pump scenarios, also for 4-ton heat pump equipment. EULs are based on 20 years for the gas wall furnace, 10 years for the window AC, and 15 years for the heat pump.14
14 The gas wall furnace and heat pump EULs were based on DEER (California Public Utilities Commission, 2021b).

Gas wall furnace lifetime was assumed to be the same as for central gas furnace equipment. Room air conditioner EUL was based on the DOE’s latest rulemaking for room air conditioned (Department of Energy, 2023). DOE determined an average lifetime of 9.3 years, which was rounded up to 10 years for this analysis. 165

Heat Pump Water Heating:

The heat pump water heater (HPWH) measures are described below, and costs are presented in Table 9 and Table

10. The most typical scenario in California is a home with existing natural gas storage tank water heaters. However, there are also many existing homes with existing electric resistance storage tank water heaters and this work considers both baselines. This analysis evaluates the following 65-gallon replacement HPWHs:

1. HPWH that meets the federal minimum efficiency requirements of UEF 2.0

4. 120V HPWH that meets the NEEA Tier 3 rating (3.3 UEF). 15 Based on operational challenges experienced in the past, NEEA established rating test criteria to ensure newly installed HPWHs perform adequately, especially in colder climates. The NEEA rating requires an Energy Factor equal to the ENERGY STAR® performance level and includes requirements regarding noise and prioritizing heat pump use over supplemental electric resistance heating. 166
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 19 Methodology and Assumptions
California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 The four cases above were evaluated with the HPWH located within an attached garage. Additionally, three separate cases for the federal minimum efficiency HPWH were analyzed to consider the impacts of location on performance and cost-effectiveness. These locations included the following:

1. Exterior closet.

2. Interior closet, no ducting.

3. Interior closet, ducted to the outside.

Additional costs for providing electrical wiring to these locations and for providing ductwork were included. Savings are compared to a new 50-gallon natural gas storage water heater (UEF 0.63) or a new 50-gallon electric water heater (UEF 0.92).

For this analysis, a HPWH that just meets the federal minimum efficiency standards of close to 2.0 Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) was evaluated in order to satisfy preemption requirements. However, the Reach Codes Team is not aware of any 2.0 UEF products that are available on the market. The lowest UEF reported for certified products in the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA)16 database is 2.73. In fact, of the four certification tiers offered by NEEA for high efficiency HPWHs, those meeting Tier 3 or Tier 4 are the dominant products on the market today. According to NEEA all major HPWH manufacturers are represented in NEEA’s qualified product list17 and there are fewer than 10 integrated products certified as Tier 1 or Tier 2, all of which have UEFs greater than 3.0.18 Therefore, in this analysis, we refer to the NEEA rated HPWH as the “market standard” HPWH.

The HPWH costs for the 120V and NEEA certified units are based on a larger (60 or 65 gallon) HPWH, as most contractors are upsizing the HPWH tank size relative to an equal volume, but higher capacity gas storage water heater.

Costs include all material and installation labor including providing a new 240 V electrical service to the water heater location (not needed for the 120V product). Water heating equipment lifetimes are based on DOE’s recent water heater rulemaking (Department of Energy, 2022) and assume 15-year EULs for both the baseline water heaters and the HPWHs.19 Future replacement costs for 240V HPWHs do not include any initial costs associated with 240V electrical service, condensate disposal, etc.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 21 Results
California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 3 Results
The primary objective of the evaluation is to identify cost-effective energy upgrade measures and packages for existing single family buildings, to support the design of local ordinances requiring upgrades, which may be triggered by different events, such as at the time of a significant remodel or at burnout of mechanical equipment. In this report, the 1992-2010 vintage is shown for the equipment measures because it is the most conservative case (lowest loads), while the pre-1978 vintage is shown for the envelope and duct measures because some of those measures only apply to the pre-1978 vintage. A full dataset of all results can be downloaded at https://localenergycodes.com/content/resources.

Results alongside policy options can also be explored using the Cost-effectiveness Explorer at https://explorer.localenergycodes.com/.

3.1 Cost-Effectiveness Results
The extensive analysis for this type of report leads to an overwhelming number of scenarios including different base cases, house vintages, replacement options, and climate zones. To simplify the reporting, the Statewide Reach Codes Team has relied on graphical representation of select key cases indicating high level measure cost effectiveness from either an On-Bill perspective, an LSC perspective, both metrics, or neither. Figure 1 through Figure 13 present this reduced set of results of the LSC and On-Bill cost-effectiveness conclusions across the 16 climate zones. In the cases where there are multiple utilities serving a single climate zone, an asterisk “*” label is added to separately show the alternate utility cases. These graphs provide a general sense of the findings. A full dataset of all results can be downloaded at https://localenergycodes.com/content/resources. Results alongside policy options can also be explored using the Cost-effectiveness Explorer at https://explorer.localenergycodes.com/.

3.1.1 HPSH Measures
Figure 1 through Figure 5 show the cost-effectiveness of space heating equipment replacement measures for the 1992-2010 vintage including the following cases. The 1992-2010 vintage results are presented here as this is the most conservative scenario for HPSH measures. In general, where a HPSH measure is cost-effective for a new home it was also found to be cost-effective for older homes.
• Dual fuel heat pump with existing furnace as backup.
• Standard efficiency ducted central heat pump replacement. • High efficiency ducted central heat pump replacement. • Ducted mini-split heat pump replacement.
• Standard efficiency ducted central heat pump replacement with 3kW PV system.

3.1.2 HPWH Measures
Figure 6 through Table 11 show the cost-effectiveness of water heater measures for the 1992-2010 vintage including the following cases. HPWH energy savings and LSC cost-effectiveness is not sensitive to home vintage but rather depends on the magnitude of hot water loads, which are typically driven by the number of occupants. On-Bill costeffectiveness does vary slightly by vintage due to the impact of the electrification tariff relative to the load profile of the existing home. The impact is largest for the HPWH + PV case where On-Bill cost-effectiveness improves for older homes or homes with overall higher energy use resulting in less exports to the grid for a fixed size PV system. • 240V federal minimum HPWH

California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 • Envelope and Duct Measures
Figure 10 through Figure 13 show the cost-effectiveness results of envelope and duct measures for the pre-1978 vintage including the following measures. The pre-1978 vintage is presented as representing the most favorable existing conditions for cost-effective upgrades. Newer homes with higher performing envelope may still benefit from these types of upgrade measures, but cost-effectiveness is reduced. Some measures, like R-13 wall insulation, aren’t applicable to newer homes which would have been constructed originally with insulated walls. • New R-6 ducts
• 10% duct leakage
• R-13 wall insulation
• R-49 attic insulation

3.2 Climate Zone Case Studies
To better understand the details of the results, a few climate zones were selected to provide a more detailed presentation of cost-effectiveness results. Section 3.2.1 through 3.2.3 show the first-year incremental cost, first-year utility savings, and NPV for a variety of cases. Section 3.2.4 shows the sensitivity of the cost effectiveness results due to varying utility escalation rates, the impact of CARE rates, future equipment cost assumptions, and the need for electrical panel upgrades. The climate zones were selected to be representative of areas of significant reach code activity. Please refer to the Cost-Effectiveness Explorer (Statewide Reach Codes, 2023) or the source dataset for the full analysis.

3.2.1 HPSH Cost-Effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness of heat pump space heating measures for Climate Zones 12 and 16 is summarized in Table 11 and Table 12 below. In Climate Zone 12, HPSH measures are cost-effective based on LSC in all cases except the ductless MSHP cases and are cost-effective On-Bill with SMUD rates in all cases except the DFHP case with a new furnace and the ductless MSHP cases. These measures are cost-effective On-Bill with PGE for the DFHP with an existing furnace and ducted MSHP measures. Climate Zone 16 provides an example of HPSH cost-effectiveness in a cold climate where almost all HPSH measures are cost effective based on LSC but not cost-effective On-Bill.

3.3 Gas Pathways for Heat Pump Replacements
Many jurisdictions are exploring policy options to accelerate the decarbonization of existing homes. A recent Ninth Circuit Court ruling in California Rest. Ass'n v. City of Berkeley20 invalidated Berkeley’s ordinance banning the installation of gas infrastructure in new construction. The ruling stated that the ordinance effectively banned covered products and was preempted by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (“EPCA”), 42 U.S.C. § 6297(c). Given the possible impacts of that ruling, the Reach Codes Team analyzed policy options targeting equipment replacements that allow for the installation of either electric or gas-fueled equipment. These packages include gas equipment combined with additional efficiency measures resulting in options that are reasonably energy or LSC cost equivalent, to the extent feasible.

For space heating, the heat pump path is a DFHP (existing furnace).. The gas pathway is a new air conditioner with the following list of efficiency upgrades:
• 400 cfm/ton system airflow (HERS verified).
• 0.35 W/cfm fan efficacy (HERS verified).
• Refrigerant charge verification (HERS verified).
• R-8 ducts, 5% leakage (HERS verified).
• R-49 (from R-30) attic insulation.
• Air sealing of the ceiling from 7 to 6.5 ACH50.

The two pathways are presented in Figure 14 comparing total LSC energy use relative to the existing home for the 1992-2010 vintage. In most climate zones, the DFHP (existing furnace) path results in higher energy savings, in the milder climates the air conditioner path saves marginally more energy. A reach code that establishes requirements when an air conditioner is replaced or installed new, could allow for either a heat pump to be installed or an air conditioner as long as the performance measures listed above are met. Note that in this analysis a DFHP (existing furnace) was used; however, a reach code could require a different heat pump measure for the heat pump path. This approach aligns with the CEC’s proposal for the 2025 Title 24 code cycle for heat pump alterations in single family homes (California Energy Commission, 2023).

For water heating, the federal minimum HPWH case was used to develop the package. The HPWH was compared to a new gas storage water heater with a 50% solar thermal backup system.

The two pathways are presented in Figure 15 comparing total LSC energy use relative to the existing home for the 1992-2010 vintage. In all climate zones, the heat pump path results in higher energy savings than the gas path. A reach code that establishes requirements when a water heater is replaced could allow for either a HPWH to be installed or a gas water heater in combination with a solar thermal system that meets the solar fraction requirements listed above.

California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 4 Recommendations and Discussion
This analysis evaluated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of retrofit measures in California existing homes built before 2010. The Statewide Reach Codes Team used both On-Bill and LSC-based LCC approaches to evaluate costeffectiveness and quantify the energy cost savings associated with energy efficiency measures compared to the incremental costs associated with the measures.

Conclusions and Discussion:

1. Envelope measures. Improving envelope performance is very cost-effective in many older homes. In addition to reducing utility costs these measures provide many other benefits such as improving occupant comfort and satisfaction and increasing a home’s ability to maintain temperatures during extreme weather events and power outages. Below is a discussion of the results of specific measures. a. Adding attic insulation is cost effective based on both LSC and On-Bill in many climate zones in homes with no more than R-19 existing attic insulation levels. Increasing attic insulation from R-30 to R-49 was still found to be cost-effective based on at least one metric in the colder and hotter climates of Climate Zone 10 (SDG&E territory only) through 16.
b. Insulating existing uninsulated walls is very cost-effective based on both metrics everywhere except Climate Zones 6 and 7 (in Climate Zone 8 it’s only cost-effective based on LSC). c. Adding R-19 or R-30 floor insulation is cost-effective based on LSC in the older two vintages (Pre-1978 and 1978-1991) in all climate zones except Climate Zones 6-10. d. Replacing old single pane windows with new high-performance windows has a very high cost and is typically not done for energy savings alone. However, energy savings are substantial and justify costeffectiveness of this measure based on at least one metric in Climate Zones 4, 8 through 12 (PG&E territory only), and 13 through 16.
e. At time of roof replacement, a cool roof with an aged solar reflectance of 0.25 was found to be costeffective in Climate Zones 4, 6 through 12 (PG&E territory only), and 13 through 15. When the roof deck is replaced during a roof replacement, adding a radiant barrier is low cost and provides substantial cooling energy savings to be cost-effective in almost all climate zones and homes.

2. Duct measures: Many older homes have old, leaky duct systems that should be replaced when they reach the end of life, typically 20-30 years. In this case, installing new ducts was found to be cost-effective based on at least one metric (both in most cases) everywhere except mild Climate Zone 7 and Climate Zones 5 and 6 in the 1978-1991 vintage. If duct systems still have remaining life they should be sealed and tested to meet 10% leakage or lower; however, duct upgrades alone were only found to be cost-effective for newer homes in Climate Zones 10 (SDG&E territory only), 11, and 13 through 16. Duct upgrades may be able to be coupled with other measures to reduce the cost.

3. Heat pump space heating: HPSHs were found to be LSC cost-effective in many cases. The DFHP (existing furnace) was LSC cost-effective everywhere except Climate Zone 15. The HPSH was LSC cost-effective everywhere except Climate Zones 8 and 15.
a. Challenges to On-Bill cost-effectiveness include higher first costs and higher first-year utility costs due to higher electricity tariffs relative to gas tariffs. SMUD and CPAU are two exceptions where first year utility costs are lower for heat pumps than for gas equipment. Table 11 shows the impact of utility rates on cost-effectiveness of HPSH where the standard and high efficiency HPSH and the HPSH + PV measures are cost-effective under SMUD but not PG&E. Even with higher first year utility bills, there were some cases that still proved On-Bill cost-effective including the DFHP with an existing furnace in the central valley and northern coastal PG&E territories, the ducted MSHP in the central valley as well as Climate Zone 14 in SDG&E territory, and the HPSH + PV measure in CZ 3-5 (PGE), 7-11, and 12 (SMUD) – 15.
b. The ductless MSHPs, evaluated for homes with existing ductless systems, were only found to be costeffective based on either metric in Climate Zones 1 and 16. Ductless MSHPs have a high incremental cost because it is a more sophisticated system than the base model of a wall furnace with a window AC unit. However, the ductless MSHP would provide greater comfort benefits if properly installed to 180

California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 directly condition all habitable spaces (as is required under the VCHP compliance credit as evaluated in this study) which may be an incentive for a homeowner to upgrade their system. c. Higher efficiency equipment lowered utility costs in all cases and improved cost-effectiveness in many cases, particularly with a ducted MSHP.

4. Heat pump water heating: All the HPWH measures were LSC cost-effective in all climate zones. Most measures were not On-Bill cost-effective with the exception of the HPWH + PV which was cost-effective OnBill in CPAU, SMUD, and SDG&E territories in addition to Climate Zones 11, 13, 14, and 15. The HPWH measures share many of the same challenges as the HPSH measures to achieving cost-effectiveness including high first costs and utility rates and assumptions. Table 13 shows the impact of utility rates on costeffectiveness where some HPWH measures are cost-effective under SMUD utility rates but are not costeffective anywhere under PG&E rates in Climate Zone 12. a. Various HPWH locations were also explored, however there are some factors outside of costeffectiveness that should also be considered. i. HPWHs in the conditioned space can provide benefits such as free cooling during the summer, reduced tank losses, and shorter pipe lengths, and in some cases show improved cost-effectiveness over garage located HPWHs. However, there are various design considerations such as noise, comfort concerns, and condensate removal. Ducting the inlet and exhaust air resolves comfort concerns but adds costs and complexity. Split heat pump water heaters address these concerns, but currently there are limited products on the market and there is a cost premium relative to the packaged products. ii. Since HPWHs extract heat from the air and transfer it to water in the storage tank, they must have adequate ventilation to operate properly. Otherwise, the space cools down over time, impacting the HPWH operating efficiency. This is not a problem with garage installations but needs to be considered for water heaters located in interior or exterior closets. For the 2025 Title 24 code the CEC is proposing that all HPWH installations meet mandatory ventilation requirements (California Energy Commission, 2023).

5. The contractor surveys revealed overall higher heat pump costs than what has been found in previous analyses. This could be due to incentive availability raising demand for heat pumps and thereby increasing the price. This price increase may be temporary and may come down once the market stabilizes. There are also new initiatives to obtain current costs including the TECH Clean California program21 that publishes heat pump data and costs; however, at the time of this analysis, the TECH data did not contain incremental costs because it only had the heat pump costs but not the gas base case costs.

6. Table 18 shows how CARE rates and escalation rate assumptions will impact cost-effectiveness. a. Applying CARE rates in the IOU territories has the overall impact to increase utility cost savings for an all-electric building compared to a code compliant mixed fuel building, improving On-Bill costeffectiveness. This is due to the CARE discount on electricity being higher than that on gas. The reverse occurs with efficiency measures where lower utility rates reduce savings and subsequently reduce cost-effectiveness.
b. If gas tariffs are assumed to increase substantially over time, in-line with the escalation assumption from the 2025 LSC development, cost-effectiveness substantially improves for the heat pump measures over the 30-year analysis period and many cases become cost-effective that were not found to be cost-effective under the CPUC / 2022 TDV escalation scenario. There is much uncertainty surrounding future tariff structures as well as escalation values. While it’s clear that gas rates will increase, how much and how quickly is not known. Future electricity tariff structures are expected to evolve over time, and the CPUC has an active proceeding to adopt an income-graduated fixed charge that benefits low-income customers and supports electrification measures for all customers.22 The CPUC will decide in mid-2024 and the new rates are expected to be in place later that year or in 2025. 21 TECH Public Reporting Home Page (techcleanca.com)

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 34 Recommendations and Discussion
California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 While the anticipated impact of this rate change is lower volumetric electricity rates, the rate design is not finalized. While lower volumetric electricity rates provide many benefits, it also will make building efficiency measures harder to justify as cost-effective due to lower utility bill cost savings.

7. Under NBT, utility cost savings for PV are substantially less than what they were under prior net energy metering rules (NEM 2.0); however, savings are sufficient to be On-Bill cost-effective in all climate zones except Climate Zones 1 through 3 and 5 through 6.
a. Combining a heat pump with PV allows the additional electricity required by the heat pump to be offset by the PV system while also increasing on-site utilization of PV generation rather than exporting the electricity back to the grid at a low rate.
b. While not evaluated in this study, coupling PV with battery systems can be very advantageous under NBT increasing utility cost savings because of improved on-site utilization of PV generation and fewer exports to the grid.

Recommendations:

1. There are various approaches for jurisdictions who are interested in reach codes for existing buildings. Some potential approaches are listed below along with key considerations. a. Prescriptive measures: Non-preempted measures that are found to be cost-effective may be prescriptively required in a reach code. One example of this type or ordinance is a cool roof requirement at time of roof replacement. Another example is requiring specific cost-effective measures for larger remodels, such as high-performance windows when new windows are installed or duct sealing and testing where ducts are in unconditioned space. b. Replacement equipment: This flavor of reach code sets certain requirements at time of equipment replacement. This study evaluated space heating and water heating equipment. Where a heat pump measure was found to be cost-effective based on either LSC or On-Bill, this may serve as the basis of a reach code given the following considerations.
i. Where reach codes reduce energy usage and are not just fuel switching, cost-effectiveness calculations are required and must be based on equipment that does not exceed the federal minimum efficiency requirements.
ii. Where reach codes are established using cost-effectiveness based on LSC, utility bill impacts and the owner’s first cost should also be reviewed and considered. iii. A gas path should also be prescriptively allowed to safely satisfy federal preemption requirements considering the CRA v. Berkeley case.23 Additional requirements may apply to the gas path, as described in Section 3.3, as long as the paths are reasonably energy or cost equivalent.
c. “Flexible Path”, minimum energy savings target: This flexible approach establishes a target for required energy savings based on a measure or a set of measures that were found to be cost-effective based on either LSC or On-Bill. A points menu compares various potential upgrades ranging from efficiency, PV, and fuel substitution measures, based on site or source energy savings. The applicant must select upgrades that individually or in combination meet the minimum energy savings target. The measures used to set the target should be non-preempted measures.

3. Consider extending relevant proposals made by the CEC for the 2025 Title 24 code (California Energy Commission, 2023) in ordinances that apply under the 2022 Title 24 code, such as the following:
a. Mandatory ventilation requirements for HPWH installations (Section 110.3(c)7). 23 https://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/sites/default/files/2024-01/CRA-v-Berkeley-Ninth-Circuit-Opinion-Jan2024.pdf 182
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Existing Single Family Building Upgrades 35 Recommendations and Discussion
California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2024-04-25 b. Requirement for HERS verified refrigerant charge verification for heat pumps in all climate zones (Table 150.1-A24).

5. Education and training can play a critical role in ensuring that heat pumps are installed, commissioned, and controlled properly to mitigate grid impacts and maximize occupant satisfaction. Below are select recommended strategies.
a. The Quality Residential HVAC Services Program25 is an incentive program to train California contractors in providing quality installation and maintenance while advancing energy-efficient technologies in the residential HVAC industry. Jurisdictions can market this to local contractors to increase the penetration of contractors skilled in heat pump design and installation. b. Educate residents and contractors of available incentives, tax credits, and financing opportunities. c. Educate contractors on code requirements. Energy Code Ace provides free tools, trainings, and resource to help Californians comply with the energy code. Contractors can access interactive compliance forms, fact sheets, and live and recorded trainings, among other things, on the website:
https://energycodeace.com/. Jurisdictions can reach out to Energy Code Ace directly to discuss offerings.

After air sealing a building, it may be necessary to forcefully bring in fresh outdoor air using supply and/or exhaust fans to minimize potential issues associated with indoor air quality. 24 This requirement does not show up in the Express Terms for alterations in Section 150.2(b)1F, but the Statewide Reach Codes Team expects that it will be added to the next release of the proposed code language in the 45-day language as it aligns with the proposal made by the Codes and Standards Enhancement Team (Statewide CASE Team, 2023). 25 https://qualityhvac.frontierenergy.com/ 183

6.2 Utility Rate Schedules
The Reach Codes Team used the CA IOU and POU rate tariffs detailed below to determine the On-Bill savings for each package. The California Climate Credit was applied for both electricity and natural gas service for the IOUs using the 2023 credits shows below.26 The credits were applied to reduce the total calculated annual bill, including any fixed fees or minimum bill amounts.

Electricity rates reflect the most recently approved tariffs. Monthly gas rates were estimated based on recent gas rates (November 2023) and a curve to reflect how natural gas prices fluctuate with seasonal supply and demand. The seasonal curve was estimated from monthly residential tariffs between 2014 and 2023 (between 2017 and 2023 for CPAU). 12-month curves were created from monthly gas rates for each of the ten years (Seven years for CPAU).

These annual curves were then averaged to arrive at an average normalized annual curve. This was conducted separately for baseline and excess energy rates. Costs used in this analysis were then derived by establishing the most recent baseline and excess rate from the latest tariff as a reference point (November 2023), and then using the normalized curve to estimate the cost for the remaining months relative to the reference point rate. 26 https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-and-topics/natural-gas/greenhouse-gas-cap-and-trade-program/californiaclimate-credit 186

6.2.7 Fuel Escalation Assumptions
The average annual escalation rates in Table 28 were used in this study. These are based on assumptions from the CPUC 2021 En Banc hearings on utility costs through 2030 (California Public Utilities Commission, 2021a). Escalation rates through the remainder of the 30-year evaluation period are based on the escalation rate assumptions within the 2022 TDV factors. No data was available to estimate electricity escalation rates for CPAU and SMUD, therefore electricity escalation rates for PG&E and statewide natural gas escalation rates were applied. Table 29 presents the average annual escalation rates used in the utility rate escalation sensitivity analysis shown in Section 3.2.4. Rates were applied for the same 30-year period and are based on the escalation rate assumptions within the 2025 LSC factors from 2027 through 2053.28 These rates were developed for electricity use statewide (not utility-specific) and assume steep increases in gas rates in the latter half of the analysis period. Data was not available for the years 2024, 2025, and 2026 and so the CPUC En Banc assumptions were applied for those years using the average rate across the three IOUs for statewide electricity escalation.

Comment on Item 2.1 Green Building Requirements.

From McKitterick, Nate <[email protected]> Date Tue 9/9/2025 1:54 PM
To Town Council <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello. I am Nate McKitterick, a Town resident. I was a Planning Commissioner for 12 years. I currently serve as a member of the Sierra Club Executive Committee, though I am not commenting in that role. I am sorry I can’t come tonight as I have a class.

First, I appreciate that the Town is being proactive on considering this change before the deadline, but also cautious about increasing effective costs of residential construction, particularly additions, ADUs, and new multifamily properties. The shortage of housing in Marin, necessitating commutes from North Marin and other counties in the Bay Area, is the #1 cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Marin, by far. Building costs are already so high that no new multifamily housing projects have broken ground in some time.

At least some of the Potential Cost Impacts are likely inaccurate for San Anselmo. Even a modest solar project, with no batteries, well-exceeds $20,000, not the $12,000-$20,000 range provided. I am about to get a quote on a air-water heat pump, but with retail plumbers going for $200+ an hour, I am pretty sure $4,000-$8,000 will prove light as well. That said, the 2025 Code, in the context of new single family home construction, may make sense, as these improvements will likely be done by most homeowners anyway either because they are required by other codes, or are popular. Those items include EV-ready wiring and heat pumps. So, the 2025 Code may not materially add to cost of new singlefamily home construction.

Regarding multifamily projects, I really can’t say whether 2025 vs 2022 will mean some projects do not go forward. I can say from one large multifamily project the Sierra Club reviewed in Corte Madera that a certain level of bike parking was difficult to make work, but we were supportive anyway. Would that, on top of other things the 2025 Code requires, made the project unprofitable? I have my doubts, but don’t know; I am concerned whether any of these projects will actually break ground unless interest rates drop or labor/materials costs moderate.

Regarding remodels of existing homes, I recommend you consider defining “substantial improvements to an existing single-family building” to a bright line of modifications to over 50% of the habitable square footage. It’s unclear to me what this standard means, otherwise. Cost-based standards are often draconian due to current construction costs.

I do expressly counsel rejection of expansion of projects to which the Code will apply. So, consistent with Staff’s recommendations, I recommend:
• You do not adopt a reduction of “Covered Projects” from 750 to 500 square feet. • You continue a broad exception for ADUs.

Thank you for your service!
-Nate
