Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
4. DIRECT staff to file a CEQA Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk-Recorder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2021-43, an urgency interim ordinance that established a moratorium
on the establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers, parcel hubs and parcel sorting facilities (collectively and individually, "Heavy
Distribution") in the unincorporated North Richmond area. This urgency ordinance, Ordinance No. 2022-06, extends the temporary moratorium
on Heavy Distribution uses to December 3, 2022, while the County continues developing reasonable regulations to mitigate the impacts for
such uses.
This issue stems from rapid expansion of e-commerce in recent years and need for local fulfillment centers and operations. The North
Richmond area particularly has seen a proliferation of these types of uses. As a result, the North Richmond area faces increased truck traffic and
the following related adverse impacts: increased safety risk to smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists; increased damage to streets; traffic
congestion and reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections; and increased emissions and air quality impacts.

Subject:Consider Urgency Ordinance No. 2022-06
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Staff has identified additional concerns that the cumulative impacts caused by the increase in Heavy Distribution in the North Richmond
Area have not been sufficiently considered and analyzed given that Heavy Distribution often operates on a 24-hour basis and may cause
deteriorating air quality, health, noise, vibration, and other disruptions to peace and quiet that may impact surrounding sensitive uses, such
as schools and residences. The North Richmond community has been designated by the California Air Resources Board and the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District as one of only 15 communities in California to be part of State Assembly Bill (AB) 617's Community Air
Protection Program. Under current County regulations, Heavy Distribution is consistent with the existing General Plan industrial land use
designations in the North Richmond Area, and is permitted within the North Richmond P-1 district. DCD staff is considering a zoning text
amendment to the North Richmond P-1 district to address the individual and cumulative impacts of Heavy Distribution through appropriate
locational criteria and traffic and air quality impact mitigation requirements.
Extending this temporary moratorium on Heavy Distribution uses will allow staff an opportunity to consider a zoning text amendment to the
North Richmond P-1 District that takes into account these issues. A threat to the public health, safety, and welfare would result if Heavy
Distribution type land-use entitlements or building permits are accepted and approved under the existing North Richmond P-1 District. The
failure to extend this temporary moratorium may result in significant irreversible impacts to businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in
the North Richmond Area that may not be adequately analyzed or mitigated.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Adoption of the proposed urgency interim ordinance is exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that adoption of the
ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed ordinance would extend a temporary moratorium on the
establishment or expansion of a land use activity that might otherwise affect the environment. See CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The failure to extend the moratorium may result in significant irreversible impacts to businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in the
North Richmond Area from new or expanded Heavy Distribution land uses.

URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE EXTENDING A MORATORIUM ON HEAVY
DISTRIBUTION LAND USE DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTH RICHMOND AREA
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows:
SECTION I. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
A. The purpose of this urgency ordinance is to extend a temporary moratorium on the
establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers, parcel hubs, and parcel sorting
facilities in the North Richmond Area while the County considers developing reasonable
regulations to address the individual and cumulative impacts caused by those uses.
B. The area of North Richmond is the area located within the boundaries of the North
Richmond P-1 (Planned Unit) District adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December
12, 1994 (the “North Richmond Area”). The North Richmond P-1 District encompasses
the entire North Richmond community.
C. The North Richmond Area is designated in the County General Plan primarily for heavy
industrial and light industrial land uses, but also includes areas designated for residential
and public space land uses. Existing industrial land uses in the North Richmond Area
consist of floricultural growing operations, distribution operations, recycling and auto
dismantling operations, a resource recovery facility, and a water reclamation facility.
D. The North Richmond Area also includes an elementary school, single- and multi-family
dwellings, parks and recreation, open space, and an urban farm outdoor education center
for at-risk youth. Many of these uses are adjacent to or located near the industrial land
uses in the North Richmond Area.
E. Due to the recent and rapid expansion of e-commerce in recent years and need for local
fulfillment centers and operations, the North Richmond Area has seen a significant
increase in fulfillment centers, parcel hubs, and parcel sorting facilities (collectively and
individually, “Heavy Distribution”). A “fulfillment center” is a facility where the
primary purpose is storage and distribution of e-commerce products to consumers or end-
users, either directly or through a parcel hub. A “parcel hub” is a last mile facility or
similar facility where the primary purpose is the processing or redistribution of parcels or
products, primarily by moving a shipment from one mode of transport to a vehicle with a
rated capacity of less than 10,000 pounds, for delivery directly to consumers or end-users.
A “parcel sorting facility” is a facility where the primary purpose is the sorting or
redistribution of parcels or products from a fulfillment center to a parcel hub.
F. With this increase in Heavy Distribution, residents and businesses within the North
Richmond Area face increased truck traffic and the following related adverse impacts:
increased safety risk to smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists; increased damage to
streets; traffic congestion and reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections; and
increased emissions and air quality impacts.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-06
2
G. The Board of Supervisors has additional concerns that the cumulative impacts caused by
the increase in Heavy Distribution in the North Richmond Area have not been
sufficiently considered and analyzed given that Heavy Distribution often operates on a
24-hour basis and may cause deteriorating air quality, health, noise, vibration, and other
disruptions to peace and quiet that may impact surrounding sensitive uses, such as
schools and residences. As with current industrial uses located in the North Richmond
Area, new or expanded Heavy Distribution uses may be located adjacent to or near
sensitive uses, such as schools and residences.
H. The North Richmond community has been designated by the California Air Resources
Board and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District as one of only 15 communities
in California to be part of State Assembly Bill (AB) 617’s Community Air Protection
Program. The purpose of this program is to reduce emissions exposure in California’s
communities that are most impacted by air pollution. A community steering committee
has been established to guide the development of a Community Emissions Reduction
Program to improve air quality in North Richmond, Richmond, and San Pablo. The
current proliferation of Heavy Distribution uses in the North Richmond Area without
appropriate evaluation is inconsistent with AB617’s goal of reducing harmful particulate
matter emissions in the State’s most heavily impacted communities.
I. The Board of Supervisors has determined that Heavy Distribution has potentially
detrimental impacts upon the North Richmond community that are not addressed by the
County’s current General Plan and zoning regulations. Under these current regulations,
Heavy Distribution is consistent with the existing General Plan industrial land use
designations in the North Richmond Area and is permitted within the North Richmond P-
1 District. There is a need to study and develop policies to address various individual and
cumulative impacts associated with Heavy Distribution. Specifically, there is a need for
additional locational criteria and traffic and air quality impact mitigation requirements to
protect businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in the North Richmond Area.
J. The Department of Conservation and Development is considering a zoning text
amendment to the North Richmond P-1 District to address the individual and cumulative
impacts of Heavy Distribution.
K. On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2021-43, an
urgency interim ordinance that established a moratorium on Heavy Distribution land use
development in the North Richmond Area.
L. This ordinance, extending the moratorium, is necessary to proceed with an orderly
planning process that takes into account consideration of the zoning text amendment for
the North Richmond P-1 District. A threat to the public health, safety, and welfare would
result if Heavy Distribution land use entitlements or building permits are accepted and
approved under the existing North Richmond P-1 District. If Heavy Distribution land
uses are allowed in the North Richmond Area under the existing North Richmond P-1
District, they could conflict with and defeat the purpose of the contemplated zoning text
amendment. The failure to extend the moratorium during the stated period may result in
significant irreversible impacts to businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in the
North Richmond Area that would not be adequately analyzed or mitigated.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-06

SECTION II. EXTENSION. The existing moratorium established by Ordinance No. 2021-43
is extended for 10 months and 15 days, through December 3, 2022.
SECTION III. PROHIBITION. The existing moratorium on certain development in the
North Richmond Area is extended as follows:
(a) While this interim ordinance is in effect, no new Heavy Distribution land use shall be
established and no existing Heavy Distribution land use shall be expanded within the
North Richmond Area, except as otherwise provided in Section IV. No applications for a
land use entitlement or building permit for Heavy Distribution shall be accepted or
processed, and no land use entitlement or building permit for Heavy Distribution shall be
approved or issued, for any parcel or portion of a parcel located within the North
Richmond Area.
(b) This moratorium applies to the North Richmond Area, which is the area located within
the boundaries of the North Richmond P-1 District, as shown on Exhibit A, which is
attached and incorporated by reference.
SECTION IV. EXEMPTIONS. The prohibition set forth in Section III does not apply to any
application for a land use entitlement or building permit for Heavy Distribution that has been
deemed complete by the Department of Conservation and Development as of December 14,
2021.
SECTION V. REPORTS. In accordance with subdivision (d) of Government Code section
65858, ten days before the expiration of this ordinance and any extension of it, the Department of
Conservation and Development shall file with the Clerk of this Board a written report describing
the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of this urgency interim
ordinance.
SECTION VI. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or clause of this ordinance or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances is held to be unconstitutional or to be
otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other
ordinance provisions or clauses or applications thereof that can be implemented without the
invalid provision or clause or application, and to this end the provisions and clauses of this
ordinance are declared to be severable.
SECTION VII. DECLARATION OF URGENCY. This interim ordinance is hereby declared
to be an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public safety, health, and
welfare of the County, and it shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. The facts
constituting the urgency of this interim ordinance’s adoption are set forth in Section I.
SECTION VIII. EFFECTIVE PERIOD. This ordinance becomes effective immediately upon
passage by four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors and shall continue in effect for a period
of 10 months and 15 days, through December 3, 2022, pursuant to Government Code section
65858.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-06

REPORT ON URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 2022-06
PROHIBITING ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF
FULFILLMENT CENTERS, PARCEL HUBS AND
SORTING FACILITIES IN
NORTH RICHMOND
January 10, 2022
Pursuant to Government Code, §65858 (d), the following report describes the measures taken to
alleviate the condition that led to the adoption of an urgency interim ordinance (Ordinance No.
2021-43) prohibiting the establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers, parcel hubs and parcel
sorting facilities in the unincorporated North Richmond area of Contra Costa County.
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2021-
43 prohibiting the establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers, parcel hubs and parcel sorting
facilities in unincorporated North Richmond area of Contra Costa County, in order to prevent
impacts to public health, safety and welfare that may have resulted from the proliferation of such
uses. Unless the Board of Supervisors authorizes an extension, the interim ordinance is set to expire
on February 3, 2022.
Additional time is needed for the Department of Conservation and Development and other County
agencies, to research, analyze and prepare a permanent ordinance addressing the individual and
cumulative impacts associated with Heavy Distribution facilities in the unincorporated North
Richmond area of the County. At this point, the additional measures taken to alleviate the
conditions that led the Board to adopt the Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 2021-43 include:
• Coordination of an inter-departmental staff meeting identifying and discussing
potential issues and concerns relating to the prohibition of Heavy Distribution
uses in the unincorporated North Richmond area if the County;
• Coordination of meetings with property owners to discuss which type of uses
would be appropriate in place of Heavy Distribution uses;
• Prepared for adoption by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors an
extension of the urgency interim ordinance extending Ordinance No. 2021-43 an
additional ten months and 15 days to December 3, 2022, for adoption by the
Board on January 18, 2022.

Subject:HEARING to Consider Adopting Ordinance No. 2022-02 Pertaining to All-Electric Buildings
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) introduced Ordinance No. 2022-02, waived its reading, and fixed a hearing date of
January 18, 2022, to consider adopting and amending the 2019 California Energy Code to require that all newly constructed residential
buildings, hotels, offices, and retail buildings be constructed as all-electric buildings without natural gas infrastructure.
Health and Safety Code sections 17958.5 and 18941.5 authorize a local agency to modify the 2019 California Energy Code and establish
more restrictive building standards if the local agency finds that the changes and modifications are reasonably necessary because of local
climatic, geological, topographical, or environmental conditions. California Public Resources Code section 25402.1(h)(2) further authorizes
a local agency to modify the California Energy Code if the local agency finds that the proposed standards are cost-effective and the
California Energy Commission (CEC) determines that the proposed standards will require the diminution of energy consumption levels
permitted by the 2019 California Energy Code.
The proposed Ordinance No. 2022-02 would amend the 2019 California Energy Code due to local climatic, geographical, topographical, and
environmental conditions. The attached findings describe the local conditions that make the more restrictive standards reasonably necessary.
The attached findings also include the required findings related to energy savings and cost-effectiveness based on several cost-effectiveness
studies prepared as part of the Statewide Reach Codes Program. The referenced cost-effectiveness studies are also attached. The proposed
substantive changes to the 2019 California Energy Code are described below:
Modifications to the 2019 California Energy Code
Requires a newly constructed building that is any of the following building types to be an all-electric building:
-Residential (including single-family and multi-family buildings);
-Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit;
-Hotel;
-Office;
-Retail.
An all-electric building is defined to mean a building that has no natural gas or propane plumbing installed within the building, and that uses
electricity as the sole source of energy for its space heating (including heating of all indoor and outdoor spaces of the building), water
heating (including heating of indoor and outdoor pools and spas), cooking appliances, and clothes drying appliances. An all-electric
building may utilize solar thermal pool heating.
The proposed ordinance would exempt development projects from the all-electric building requirement if the development project has
obtained an approved vesting tentative map, development agreement, or other vested right pursuant to applicable law, prior to the operative
date of the ordinance. The exemption recognizes existing projects that have obtained vested rights based on entitlements issued before the
all-electric building requirements become operative.
The proposed ordinance would not prohibit the use of emergency backup power sources, such as generators, that may be fossil-fuel
operated. The ordinance would also not preclude anyone from installing natural gas for any existing buildings, including other allowed
ancillary uses to existing buildings, such as pools, spas, or other similar outdoor equipment.
California Energy Commission
Modification to the California Energy Code, and the associated findings, must be submitted to the California Energy Commission (CEC) for
review and approval before the modifications take effect. If adopted by the Board, staff will transmit the adopted ordinance and findings to
the CEC. Staff is informed that the CEC review and approval process may take approximately 30-60 days.
Ordinance Effective and Operative Dates
If adopted by the Board, the ordinance will be effective upon approval by the California Energy Commission or 30 days after adoption,
whichever is later. Staff recommends that the Board adopt the ordinance with an operative date of June 1, 2022, to provide the building
industry and other stakeholders additional notice and lead time prior to enforcement of the new all-electric building requirements. That is,
staff recommends that a building permit issued before June 1, 2022, for a newly constructed residential building, hotel, office, or retail
building would not require the building to be an all-electric building. Additionally, a building permit issued after June 1, 2022 would not
require a newly constructed residential building, hotel, office, or retail building to be all-electric if the building is part of a development
project that has obtained an approved vesting tentative map, development agreement, or other vested right pursuant to applicable law, prior
to June 1, 2022.
Outreach Efforts and Public Input
Public outreach related to development of this ordinance occurred through the Board of Supervisors Sustainability Committee. The
Sustainability Commission also advised the Board to include building electrification commitments in the County’s Climate Emergency
Resolution adopted by the Board on September 22, 2020. The building electrification ordinance issue was first discussed at the
Sustainability Committee meeting on September 23, 2019, and at subsequent meetings on February 3, 2020, and May 24, 2021. The
Sustainability Committee recommended that the Board of Supervisors authorize staff to develop an ordinance amending the County
building code to prohibit the use of natural gas and use electricity as the sole source of power for all newly constructed residential buildings,
hotels, offices, and retail buildings. On August 3, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the Sustainability Committee recommendation
and directed staff to prepare the proposed ordinance.
The public has had the opportunity to provide input at each of these meetings. Most public comments have indicated overall support for a
building electrification ordinance. At the direction of the Sustainability Committee, County staff also met with staff from the Building
Industry Association (BIA) and East Bay Leadership Council (EBLC) to solicit feedback on the Committee’s recommendation to the Board.
The main concern raised by the BIA was to ensure that the building industry be given sufficient time to adapt to the building code changes
so new projects in the pipeline would not require a redesign. The BIA also previously submitted a letter to the Board, which included,
among other things, concerns of grid reliability, refuting whether all-electric homes are truly cost-effective, and a request that there not be
localized codes. The BIA letter and the issues raised therein were discussed at the Board meeting on August 3, 2021.
On December 13, 2021, the California Pool and Spa Association (CPSA) submitted a letter to the BOS requesting an exemption from the
proposed ordinance for swimming pools, spas, and other ancillary equipment for outdoor use, such as fire pits, fireplaces, decorative fire
features, pizza ovens, barbecues, outdoor ranges, and outdoor space heating. The CPSA letter stated, among other things, that other
alternatives that are not natural gas are either not practically available or severely disappointing in quality. Their major point being that a
natural gas pool heating system can heat a pool or spa much faster to their optimal temperature, as compared to an electric heat pump
system. The CPSA letter also states that the electric pool heating systems may be more costly for homeowners because of the potential
need to increase the size of a building’s electrical service when adding an electric pool heating system. The letter also raises the concern
that eliminating or phasing out the use of natural gas would undermine the swimming pool and hot tub business and have an economic
impact on the State. Other concerns raised include not being able to use natural gas for other outdoor features, such as fire pits, fireplaces,
decorative fire features, pizza ovens, barbeques, outdoor ranges, and outdoor space heating. The letter received by the CPSA was discussed
at the BOS meeting when the proposed ordinance was introduced on December 14, 2021.
Staff has reviewed the concerns raised by the CPSA. Electric and solar thermal alternatives to the appliances mentioned in the letter do exist
and in fact electric heating is the most common approach for standalone hot tubs. However, as staff stated at the prior hearing, eliminating
the use of natural gas would require other equipment that would take substantially longer than a gas system to heat cold water in a pool or
inground spa. Regarding CPSA’s argument that an electric pool heating system may increase cost to homeowners by requiring an increase
in the size of the home’s electrical service, this may apply when adding a pool with an electric heating system to an existing home if it
requires the homeowner to upsize the electrical service for the home. However, the proposed ordinance only applies to pools installed for
new homes. The added cost of designing the electrical system of a new home to accommodate the needs of a pool heating system is not
significant as the added electrical load resulting from a pool heating system will not result in a substantial increase in the cost of the overall
electrical system for the home.
A more comprehensive method for comparing the costs of various pool heating systems is to compare the life-cycle cost of these systems,
which includes both the initial cost of installation and the ongoing operating cost of such systems over their useful life. Staff is not aware of
any such studies that have examined this issue. The closest approximation staff has found is a cost effectiveness study done on behalf of the
City of Santa Monica that found, generally, electric pool heating systems have a marginally higher initial cost of installation, but a
marginally lower cost of ongoing operation. Overall, the analysis was inconclusive as to which type of system has a lower overall cost to
homeowners.
On January 6, 2022, 350 Contra Costa submitted a letter with a comment wanting to ensure enforcement of the ordinance for the applicable
commercial uses and requested that the last sentence in the definition of an all-electric building in the proposed ordinance be modified. The
letter from 350 Contra Costa with their comments and suggested ordinance language changes are attached.
Clean Energy Policy and Electricity Reliability
The proposed ordinance would require all new residential buildings and many new commercial buildings within the County’s jurisdictions
to be constructed with electricity as the sole source of power. As such, it is important to consider whether the supply of electricity within the
County is stable and reliable, and whether it will be adequate to serve the needs of all-electric buildings.
To address climate change, State policy is shifting away from fossil fuels as a source of power and towards greater use of renewable
energy. As this transition proceeds, it raises questions as to whether there is enough electricity generated from renewable sources to meet the
needs of Californians. In addition to the question of electricity supply, there is also the related question of whether the State’s electrical grid
infrastructure is adequate to distribute electricity to where it is needed across the State.
While County staff are not involved in managing the State’s energy supply or grid infrastructure, staff has researched these areas and found
that multiple State agencies are deeply involved in planning for the State’s future energy needs. While County staff cannot assure these
efforts will be successful, staff have confirmed that tremendous resources and attention are being applied at the State level to address these
concerns.
Electricity procurement and management of the electrical grid are administered by utility companies and other energy providers, such as
community choice energy programs. These processes are heavily regulated by State agencies, which are in turn guided by State law. County
staff have examined these regulatory processes and concluded that State agencies have robust planning processes in place to forecast energy
demand and to ensure that utilities procure sufficient electricity to meet the energy needs of Californians. This planning process includes a
gradual transition to 100 percent renewable energy over the next 25 years. The planning efforts conducted by State agencies also include
forecasting the infrastructure investments that will be needed to ensure the reliability of the electricity grid.
State legislation enacted the 100 Percent Clean Energy Act of 2018, Senate Bill 100 (SB 100), which establishes a target for renewable and
zero-carbon resources to supply 100 percent of retail sales and electricity procured to serve all State agencies by 2045. The bill also
increases the State’s Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) to 60 percent of retail sales by the end of 2030 and requires all State agencies to
incorporate these targets into their relevant planning.
SB 100 calls upon the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), California Energy Commission (CEC), and California Air
Resources Board (CARB) to use programs under existing statues to achieve this policy and issue a joint policy report to the Legislature by
January 1, 2021, and every four years thereafter. The first joint policy report was released in March 2021 with the intent of being the first
step in an iterative and ongoing effort to assess barriers and opportunities to implementing the 100 percent clean electricity policy.
To address system reliability of the grid, the joint agencies plan to evaluate resource portfolios that were developed as part of the joint
policy report issued in March 2021. The first step outlined in the report specific to system reliability includes an evaluation of the resource
portfolios in all hours of the year and to highlight potential supply shortfalls in meeting the projected energy demand. The second step
portfolios in all hours of the year and to highlight potential supply shortfalls in meeting the projected energy demand. The second step
included in their analysis will be to evaluate the revised resource portfolio with a set of probabilistic production cost model runs. This model
will analyze reliability over a wide range of conditions to explore probabilistic variables, such as loads, renewable energy and hydro
availability, and power plant outages to determine the likelihood of power outages due to insufficient capacity from the energy resource
mix. The report further specifies that a loss of load probability that exceeds, or is significantly under, an acceptable limit will result in
additional resource portfolio adjustments that would restart the process to the initial first step included in the analysis. The report states that
this reliability analysis could be completed as part of the 2025 SB 100 Report or possibly through existing State efforts.
In addition to the requirements of SB 100, there is a very rigorous longstanding process for resource planning that involves multiple state
agencies to forecast and procure enough renewable and carbon free electricity to meet the State’s energy needs. This includes the California
Independent System Operator (CAISO), CEC, and CPUC.
CAISO was created by the California Legislature and is responsible for managing the flow of electricity throughout the State. CAISO has an
annual long-term Transmission Planning Process completed every 15 months that uses other tools to ensure the grid has adequate supply,
or in rare cases a strategy for working through undersupply situations.
The CEC adopts an Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) every two years that includes an assessment of major energy trends and issues
facing California’s electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel sectors, including energy reliability. The IEPR provides policy
recommendations on these issues. The CEC’s 2019 IEPR included an analysis of building electrification and grid reliability. The CEC leads
the State’s research on all-electric buildings, in collaboration with the CAISO, CARB, and the CPUC. The 2019 IEPR identifies numerous
reports produced over several years on the importance of adding firm electricity capacity and long duration energy storage.
The CPUC has a biennial process through the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Proceeding that requires load-serving entities (LSEs) such as
MCE (the County’s Community Choice Aggregator) and investor-owned utilities such as Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) to detail the
procured and planned resources in their portfolio to ensure that the State has a safe, reliable, and cost-effective electricity supply. The
CPUC’s IRP Proceeding(s) also serve as the umbrella venue for considering comprehensive issues in the portion of the California electricity
sector under the purview of the Commission (the CPUC does not regulate municipal utilities). The IRP proceeding was the successor to
multiple long-term procurement planning (LTPP) proceedings, and continues to require investor-owned utilities (IOUs) such as PG&E and
community choice aggregators such as MCE to submit procurement plans to project their resource needs for their bundled customers, and
their action plans for meeting those needs over a ten-year horizon. This process requires PG&E and MCE to include contingency planning
regarding resource planning and load forecasting, including a secured energy capacity equal to 115% of its expected peak load for each
month of the year. As specified in MCE’s 2022 Operation Integrated Resource Plan (OIRP), MCE must also demonstrate that it has
procured capacity in specific transmission-constrained areas equal to its assigned share of CAISO’s need for each month of the year In
addition, MCE and PG&E is required to address short-term system reliability beyond the existing baseline resources required by the CPUC.
Furthermore, PG&E and MCE are required to procure even more incremental capacity to meet mid-term reliability procurement
requirements.
In September 2021, the CEC also released its Midterm Reliability Analysis report, which provides an analysis conducted by CEC staff to
inform decisions about the future resource procurement to support energy reliability for calendar years 2023 – 2026. The report was
prepared for the CPUC to consider as part of the IRP as the CPUC decides whether to adopt the next plan. The report finds that the ordered
resource procurement for 2023 through 2026 appears to be sufficient, indicating system reliability. The report also concludes that the
reliance on zero-emitting resources does not appear to diminish reliability compared to procuring thermal resources. The report
acknowledges that the CEC demand forecast is being further enhanced to capture the frequency and dispersion of extreme climate impacts.
Additionally, the study acknowledges that it did not include resource retirements beyond those assumed in the CPUC's mid-term reliability
decision and that additional retirements would increase the likelihood of system reliability challenges.
Another issue of concern related to grid reliability is the occurrence of Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. The State continues to
work with utilities to reduce the need for PSPS events. However, such events will likely occur again in the future, subject to weather
conditions. Property owners can mitigate their risk of losing power during PSPS events by installing a source of backup power, such as a
generator or battery storage.
In summary, California’s energy system is in the middle of a major transition away from fossil fuels and towards sources of renewable
energy. This transition raises valid questions and concerns about the stability of electricity supply for County residents. While the proposed
ordinance will not significantly change the overall demand for electricity within the State, requiring newly constructed buildings be
all-electric will increase the dependency of these buildings – and their occupants – on the State’s system for procuring and distributing
electricity. Staff have researched this topic and concluded that multiple State agencies are engaged in a comprehensive planning process to
implement this transition over the next 25 years. While the outcome of the process cannot be known at this time, considerable State
resources are being applied to make it successful. This will be an ongoing challenge of statewide concern for decades to come.
MCE’s Planning to Support Greater Building Electrification
Staff have also analyzed issues of electricity supply and stability at the local level. Most residents of the unincorporated area and most
residents of nearly all of the cities within the County receive their electricity from MCE. MCE is California’s first community choice
energy provider and currently serves 36 local jurisdictions across the counties of Contra Costa, Marin, Napa and Solano. The County joined
MCE in 2017 with the goal of increasing the amount of energy provided within the County that comes from renewable sources. MCE was
established over 10 years ago and has been able to consistently procure electricity from renewable sources to a degree that exceeds State
policy requirements while maintaining stable prices for consumers relative to other Bay Area utilities and energy providers. MCE is also
taking steps locally to address conditions that impact grid reliability.
On December 22, 2021, MCE submitted a letter that summarizes its 2022 Operational Integrated Resource Plan (OIRP). The OIRP
included, among other things, electrification trends, grid reliability needs, and capacity requirements. MCE’s OIRP also stated that MCE
met the State’s 60% renewables goal back in 2017 and is expected to reach 85% renewable energy by 2029. Additionally, to mitigate the
impact of electricity outages, PSPS events, and improve grid reliability MCE allocated $6 million in 2019 for a resiliency fund that
impact of electricity outages, PSPS events, and improve grid reliability MCE allocated $6 million in 2019 for a resiliency fund that
prioritizes customers and populations that are disproportionately affected by grid outages.
MCE’s letter also outlines ten key procurement process activities which incorporate factors such as electrification trends and load forecasts.
The referenced letter from MCE is attached with web links to MCE’s 2022 OIRP and the State’s IEPR.
In conclusion, staff does not perceive any near-term threats to the ability of County residents to obtain electricity from local energy
providers. The State faces longer term challenges as it attempts to manage the transition to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2045. More
investment in renewable energy generation and distribution infrastructure will be needed. The proposed ordinance will have negligible
impact on this process. All County residents will be dependent on State agencies to successfully navigate this transition and ensure a stable
energy system for California, but this dependency will be particularly acute for those who occupy all-electric buildings.
In addition to efforts by State agencies, the County’s local electricity provider, MCE supports building electrification and is taking steps to
improve energy reliability. County residents and building owners can mitigate energy reliability risk by installing battery storage or other
sources of back-up electrical power.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
For the purposes of compliance with CEQA, adoption of the ordinance is the project. Based on the record before the County, staff has
determined that this project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15308
(Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment). Section 15308 covers Class 8 categorical exemptions, which consist
of actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or
protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. For the purpose of
protecting the environment, the proposed ordinance eliminates the construction of natural gas infrastructure for all newly constructed
residential buildings, hotels, offices. The regulatory standards contained in the proposed ordinance are more stringent than those set forth in
the State Building Standards Code, and as a result there are no reasonably foreseeable adverse impacts or possibility that the activity in
question may have a significant effect on the environment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the proposed ordinance is not approved, the County would not implement one of the actions specified in its Climate Emergency
Resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors on September 22, 2020.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF CHANGES, ADDITIONS, AND DELETIONS TO
CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE TO REQUIRE CERTAIN NEWLY
CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS TO BE ALL-ELECTRIC BUILDINGS
The California Building Standards Commission has adopted and published the 2019 Building
Standards Code, which became effective on January 1, 2020. The 2019 Building Standards Code is
composed of the 2019 California Building, Residential, Green Building Standards, Energy,
Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Existing Building Codes. These codes are enforced in Contra
Costa County by the Building Inspection Division of the Department of Conservation and
Development.
Although these codes apply statewide, Health and Safety Code sections 17958.5 and 18941.5
authorize a local jurisdiction to modify or change these codes to establish more restrictive building
standards if the jurisdiction finds that the modifications and changes are reasonably necessary because
of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Additionally, Public Resources Code section
25402.1(h)(2) authorizes a local jurisdiction to modify or change the California Energy Code to
establish more restrictive building standards if the jurisdiction determines that the standards are cost-
effective and the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission finds that the
standards will require the diminution of energy consumption levels.
Ordinance No. 2022-02 adopts the 2019 California Energy Code and amends it to address local
conditions by requiring that all newly constructed residential buildings, hotels, offices, and retail
buildings be constructed as all-electric buildings without natural gas infrastructure.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 17958.7, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
finds that the more restrictive standards contained in Ordinance No. 2022-02 are reasonably necessary
because of the local climatic, geological, and topographic conditions that are described below.
I. Local Conditions
A. Climatic
The burning of fossil fuels to heat structures and water, for use in cooking and clothes drying
appliances, and for other uses is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and
consequently climate change. “Combustion of natural gas and petroleum products for heating and
cooking needs emits carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Emissions
from natural gas consumption represent 80 percent of direct fossil fuel CO2 emissions from the
residential and commercial sectors in 2019.”1 “Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed
since the mid‐20th century to the human expansion of the ‘greenhouse effect’ warming that results

when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.”2 Nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide,
and methane are gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.3 The County’s Climate Action Plan
(2015) states that the County is likely to experience more extreme heat events, reduced air quality,
changes in sea level, less predictable water supply, and increases in storm severity and frequency of
flood events. Requiring all-electric construction without gas infrastructure will reduce the amount of
greenhouse gas produced in Contra Costa County and will contribute to reducing the overall and local
impact of climate change and associated risks.
B. Geological
Contra Costa County is located in Seismic Design Categories D and E, which designates the County
at very high risk for earthquakes. Buildings and other structures in these zones can experience
major seismic damage. Contra Costa County is near numerous earthquake faults including the San
Andreas Fault, and all or portions of the Hayward, Calaveras, Concord, Antioch, Mt. Diablo, and
other lesser faults. A 4.1 earthquake with its epicenter in Concord occurred in 1958, and a 5.4
earthquake with its epicenter also in Concord occurred in 1955. The Concord and Antioch faults
have a potential for a Richter 6 earthquake and the Hayward and Calaveras faults have the potential
for a Richter 7 earthquake. Minor tremblers from seismic activity are not uncommon in the area. A
study released in 2015 by the Working Group of California Earthquake Probabilities predicts that
for the San Francisco region, the 30-year likelihood of one or more earthquake of 6.7 or larger
magnitude is 72%. The purpose of this Working Group is to develop statewide, time-dependent
Earthquake Rupture Forecasts for California that use best available science, and are endorsed by the
United States Geological Survey, the Southern California Earthquake Center, and the California
Geological Survey. Scientists, therefore, believe that an earthquake of a magnitude 6.7 or larger is
now slightly more than twice as likely to occur as to not occur in, approximately, the next 30 years.
The elimination of natural gas infrastructure in new buildings would reduce the hazards associated
with gas leaks during seismic events.
C. Topographic
Highly combustible dry grass, weeds, and brush are common in the hilly and open space areas in the
County for 6 to 8 months of each year. Many of these areas are adjacent to developed locations.
And many of these areas frequently experience wildland fires, which threaten nearby buildings,
particularly those with wood roofs, or sidings. This condition can be found throughout Contra Costa
County, especially in those developed and developing areas of the County. Earthquake gas fires due
to gas line ruptures can ignite grasslands and stress resources to combat fires. The elimination of
natural gas infrastructure in new buildings would reduce fire hazards of buildings constructed near
highly combustible dry land areas.

II. Necessity of More Restrictive Standards
Because of the conditions described above, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors finds that
there are local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions unique to Contra Costa County that
require imposing all-electric building requirements for newly constructed residential buildings,
detached accessory dwelling units, hotels, offices, and retail buildings as set forth in Ordinance No.
2022-02.
III. California Energy Code
Pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 25402.1(h)(2), the Contra Costa County Board
of Supervisors finds that the modifications made to the California Energy Code in this ordinance are
cost-effective for newly constructed residential buildings, including detached accessory dwelling
units, and newly constructed hotels, offices and retail buildings. This finding of cost-effectiveness is
based on the following cost-effectiveness studies prepared as part of the Statewide Reach Codes
Program:
• Cost-effectiveness Study: Low-Rise Residential New Construction
Last modified August 1, 2019
• 2019 Mid-Rise New Construction Reach Code Cost-Effectiveness Study

• 2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
Last modified July 25, 2019
• 2020 Reach Code Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Large Office
Last modified October 13, 2021
Contra Costa County is located in climate zones 3 and 12. The cost-effectiveness studies conclude
that specific modifications to the 2019 California Energy Code—including all-electric building
requirements for newly constructed residential buildings, detached accessory dwelling units, hotels,
offices, and retail buildings— are cost-effective for climate zones 3 and 12. The Board of
Supervisors also finds, pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 25402.1(h)(2), that the
modifications made to the California Energy Code in this ordinance will require diminution of energy
consumption levels compared to those permitted by the 2019 California Energy Code. These findings
of cost-effectiveness and energy savings will be filed with the California Energy Commission before
Ordinance No. 2022-02 takes effect.

1 Introduction
The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) (Energy Commission, 2018b) is
maintained and updated every three years by two state agencies, the California Energy Commission (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.
This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state requirements,
the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, effective January 1, 2020, for new single family and low-rise (one-
to three-story) multifamily residential construction. The analysis includes evaluation of both mixed fuel and all-
electric homes, documenting that the performance requirements can be met by either type of building design.
Compliance package options and cost-effectiveness analysis in all sixteen California climate zones (CZs) are
presented (see Appendix A – California Climate Zone Map for a graphical depiction of Climate Zone locations).
All proposed package options include a combination of efficiency measures and on-site renewable energy.
2 Methodology and Assumptions
This analysis uses two different metrics to assess cost-effectiveness. Both methodologies require estimating and
quantifying the incremental costs and energy savings associated with energy efficiency measures. The main
difference between the methodologies is the manner in which they value energy and thus the cost savings of
reduced or avoided energy use.
• Utility Bill Impacts (On-Bill): Customer-based Lifecycle Cost (LCC) approach that values energy based
upon estimated site energy usage and customer on-bill savings using electricity and natural gas utility
rate schedules over a 30-year duration accounting for discount rate and energy cost inflation.
• Time Dependent Valuation (TDV): Energy Commission LCC methodology, which is intended to capture
the “societal value or cost” of energy use including long-term projected costs such as the cost of
providing energy during peak periods of demand and other societal costs such as projected costs for
carbon emissions, as well as grid transmission and distribution impacts. This metric values energy use
differently depending on the fuel source (gas, electricity, and propane), time of day, and season.
Electricity used (or saved) during peak periods has a much higher value than electricity used (or saved)
during off-peak periods (Horii et al., 2014). This is the methodology used by the Energy Commission in
evaluating cost-effectiveness for efficiency measures in Title 24, Part 6.
2.1 Building Prototypes
The Energy Commission defines building prototypes which it uses to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of proposed
changes to Title 24 requirements. At the time that this report was written, there are two single family
prototypes and one low-rise multifamily prototype. All three are used in this analysis in development of the
above-code packages. Table 1 describes the basic characteristics of each prototype. Additional details on the
prototypes can be found in the Alternative Calculation Method (ACM) Approval Manual (Energy Commission,
2018a). The prototypes have equal geometry on all walls, windows and roof to be orientation neutral.

The Energy Commission’s protocol for single family prototypes is to weight the simulated energy impacts by a
factor that represents the distribution of single-story and two-story homes being built statewide, assuming 45
percent single-story and 55 percent two-story. Simulation results in this study are characterized according to this
ratio, which is approximately equivalent to a 2,430-square foot (ft2) house.1
The methodology used in the analyses for each of the prototypical building types begins with a design that
precisely meets the minimum 2019 prescriptive requirements (zero compliance margin). Table 150.1-A in the
2019 Standards (Energy Commission, 2018b) lists the prescriptive measures that determine the baseline design
in each climate zone. Other features are consistent with the Standard Design in the ACM Reference Manual
(Energy Commission, 2019), and are designed to meet, but not exceed, the minimum requirements. Each
prototype building has the following features:
• Slab-on-grade foundation.
• Vented attic.
• High performance attic in climate zones where prescriptively required (CZ 4, 8-16) with insulation
installed at the ceiling and below the roof deck per Option B. (Refer to Table 150.1-A in the 2019
Standards.)
• Ductwork located in the attic for single family and within conditioned space for multifamily.
Both mixed fuel and all-electric prototypes are evaluated in this study. While in past code cycles an all-electric
home was compared to a home with gas for certain end-uses, the 2019 code includes separate prescriptive and
performance paths for mixed-fuel and all-electric homes. The fuel specific characteristics of the mixed fuel and
all-electric prototypes are defined according to the 2019 ACM Reference Manual and described in Table 2.2
1 2,430 ft2 = (45% x 2,100 ft2) + (55% x 2,700 ft2)
2 Standards Section 150.1(c)8.A.iv.a specifies that compact hot water distribution design and a drain water heat
recovery system or extra PV capacity are required when a heat pump water heater is installed prescriptively. The
efficiency of the distribution and the drain water heat recovery systems as well as the location of the water
heater applied in this analysis are based on the Standard Design assumptions in CBECC-Res which result in a
zero-compliance margin for the 2019 basecase model.

2.2 Measure Analysis
The California Building Energy Code Compliance simulation tool, CBECC-RES 2019.1.0, was used to evaluate
energy impacts using the 2019 Title 24 prescriptive standards as the benchmark, and the 2019 TDV values. TDV
is the energy metric used by the Energy Commission since the 2005 Title 24 energy code to evaluate compliance
with the Title 24 standards.
Using the 2019 baseline as the starting point, prospective energy efficiency measures were identified and
modeled in each of the prototypes to determine the projected energy (Therm and kWh) and compliance
impacts. A large set of parametric runs were conducted to evaluate various options and develop packages of
measures that exceed minimum code performance. The analysis utilizes a parametric tool based on Micropas3 to
automate and manage the generation of CBECC-Res input files. This allows for quick evaluation of various
efficiency measures across multiple climate zones and prototypes and improves quality control. The batch
process functionality of CBECC-Res is utilized to simulate large groups of input files at once. Annual utility costs
were calculated using hourly data output from CBECC-Res and electricity and natural gas tariffs for each of the
investor owned utilities (IOUs).

The Reach Codes Team selected packages and measures based on cost-effectiveness as well as decades of
experience with residential architects, builders, and engineers along with general knowledge of the relative
acceptance of many measures.
2.2.1 Federal Preemption
The Department of Energy (DOE) sets minimum efficiency standards for equipment and appliances that are
federally regulated under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA), including heating, cooling,
and water heating equipment. Since state and local governments are prohibited from adopting policies that
mandate 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 equipment. While this study is limited
by federal preemption, in practice builders may use any package of compliant measures to achieve the
performance goals, including high efficiency appliances. Often, these measures are the simplest and most
affordable measures to increase energy performance.
2.2.2 Energy Design Rating
The 2019 Title 24 code introduces California’s Energy Design Rating (EDR) as the primary metric to demonstrate
compliance with the energy code. EDR is still based on TDV but it uses a building that is compliant with the 2006
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as the reference building. The reference building has an EDR
score of 100 while a zero-net energy (ZNE) home has an EDR score of zero (Energy Commission, 2018d). See
Figure 1 for a graphical representation of this. While the Reference Building is used to determine the rating, the
Proposed Design is still compared to the Standard Design based on the prescriptive baseline assumptions to
determine compliance.
The EDR is calculated by CBECC-Res and has two components:
1. An “Efficiency EDR” which represents the building’s energy use without solar generation.4
2. A “Total EDR” that represents the final energy use of the building based on the combined impact of
efficiency measures, PV generation and demand flexibility.
For a building to comply, two criteria are required:
(1) the proposed Efficiency EDR must be equal to or less than the Efficiency EDR of the Standard Design, and
(2) the proposed Total EDR must be equal to or less than the Total EDR of the Standard Design.
Single family prototypes used in this analysis that are minimally compliant with the 2019 Title 24 code achieve a
Total EDR between 20 and 35 in most climates.
This concept, consistent with California’s “loading order” which prioritizes energy efficiency ahead of renewable
generation, requires projects meet a minimum Efficiency EDR before PV is credited but allows for PV to be
traded off with additional efficiency when meeting the Total EDR. A project may improve on building efficiency
beyond the minimum required and subsequently reduce the PV generation capacity required to achieve the
required Total EDR but may not increase the size of the PV system and trade this off with a reduction of
efficiency measures. Figure 1 graphically summarizes how both Efficiency EDR and PV / demand flexibility EDR
are used to calculate the Total EDR used in the 2019 code and in this analysis.
4 While there is no compliance credit for solar PV as there is under the 2016 Standards, the credit for installing
electric storage battery systems that meet minimum qualifications can be applied to the Efficiency EDR.

Figure 1: Graphical description of EDR scores (courtesy of Energy Code Ace5)
Results from this analysis are presented as EDR Margin, a reduction in the EDR score relative to the Standard
Design. EDR Margin is a better metric to use than absolute EDR in the context of a reach code because absolute
values vary, based on the home design and characteristics such as size and orientation. This approach aligns with
how compliance is determined for the 2019 Title 24 code, as well as utility incentive programs, such as the
California Advanced Homes Program (CAHP) & California Multifamily New Homes (CMFNH), which require
minimum performance criteria based on an EDR Margin for low-rise residential projects. The EDR Margin is
calculated according to Equation 1 for the two efficiency packages and Equation 2 for the Efficiency & PV and
Efficiency & PV/Battery packages (see Section 2.3).

2.2.3 Energy Efficiency Measures
Following are descriptions of each of the efficiency measures evaluated under this analysis. Because not all of
the measures described below were found to be cost-effective and cost-effectiveness varied by climate zone,
not all measures are included in all packages and some of the measures listed are not included in any final
package. For a list of measures included in each efficiency package by climate zone, see Appendix D – Single
Family Measure Summary and Appendix F – Multifamily Measure Summary.
Reduced Infiltration (ACH50): Reduce infiltration in single family homes from the default infiltration assumption
of five (5) air changes per hour at 50 Pascals (ACH50)6 by 40 to 60 percent to either 3 ACH50 or 2 ACH50. HERS

rater field verification and diagnostic testing of building air leakage according to the procedures outlined in the
2019 Reference Appendices RA3.8 (Energy Commission, 2018c). This measure was not applied to multifamily
homes because CBECC-Res does not allow reduced infiltration credit for multifamily buildings.
Improved Fenestration: Reduce window U-factor to 0.24. The prescriptive U-factor is 0.30 in all climates. In
climate zones 1, 3, 5, and 16 where heating loads dominate, an increase in solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)
from the default assumption of 0.35 to 0.50 was evaluated in addition to the reduction in U-factor.
Cool Roof: Install a roofing product that’s rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council to have an aged solar
reflectance (ASR) equal to or greater than 0.25. Steep-sloped roofs were assumed in all cases. Title 24 specifies a
prescriptive ASR of 0.20 for Climate Zones 10 through 15 and assumes 0.10 in other climate zones.
Exterior Wall Insulation: Decrease wall U-factor in 2x6 walls to 0.043 from the prescriptive requirement of 0.048
by increasing exterior insulation from one-inch R-5 to 1-1/2 inch R-7.5. This was evaluated for single family
buildings only in all climate zones except 6 and 7 where the prescriptive requirement is higher (U-factor of
0.065) and improving beyond the prescriptive value has little impact.
High Performance Attics (HPA): HPA with R-38 ceiling insulation and R-30 insulation under the roof deck. In
climates where HPA is already required prescriptively this measure requires an incremental increase in roof
insulation from R-19 or R-13 to R-30. In climates where HPA is not currently required (Climate Zones 1 through
3, and 5 through 7), this measure adds roof insulation to an uninsulated roof as well as increasing ceiling
insulation from R-30 to R-38 in Climate Zones 3, 5, 6 and 7.
Slab Insulation: Install R-10 perimeter slab insulation at a depth of 16-inches. For climate zone 16, where slab
insulation is required, prescriptively this measure increases that insulation from R-7 to R-10.
Duct Location (Ducts in Conditioned Space): Move the ductwork and equipment from the attic to inside the
conditioned space in one of the three following ways.
1. Locate ductwork in conditioned space. The air handler may remain in the attic provided that 12 linear
feet or less of duct is located outside the conditioned space including the air handler and plenum. Meet
the requirements of 2019 Reference Appendices RA3.1.4.1.2. (Energy Commission, 2018c)
2. All ductwork and equipment located entirely in conditioned space meeting the requirements of 2019
Reference Appendices RA3.1.4.1.3. (Energy Commission, 2018c)
3. All ductwork and equipment located entirely in conditioned space with ducts tested to have less than or
equal to 25 cfm leakage to outside. Meet the requirements of Verified Low Leakage Ducts in
Conditioned Space (VLLDCS) in the 2019 Reference Appendices RA3.1.4.3.8. (Energy Commission, 2018c)
Option 1 and 2 above apply to single family only since the basecase for multifamily assumes ducts are within
conditioned space. Option 3 applies to both single family and multifamily cases.
Reduced Distribution System (Duct) Leakage: Reduce duct leakage from 5% to 2% and install a low leakage air
handler unit (LLAHU). This is only applicable to single family homes since the basecase for multifamily assumes
ducts are within conditioned space and additional duct leakage credit is not available.
Low Pressure Drop Ducts: Upgrade the duct distribution system to reduce external static pressure and meet a
maximum fan efficacy of 0.35 Watts per cfm for gas furnaces and 0.45 Watts per cfm for heat pumps operating
at full speed. This may involve upsizing ductwork, reducing the total effective length of ducts, and/or selecting
low pressure drop components such as filters. Fan watt draw must be verified by a HERS rater according to the
procedures outlined in the 2019 Reference Appendices RA3.3 (Energy Commission, 2018c). New federal
regulations that went into effect July 3, 2019 require higher fan efficiency for gas furnaces than for heat pumps
and air handlers, which is why the recommended specification is different for mixed fuel and all-electric homes.

HERS Verification of Hot Water Pipe Insulation: The California Plumbing Code (CPC) requires pipe insulation on
all hot water lines. This measure provides credit for HERS rater verification of pipe insulation requirements
according to the procedures outlined in the 2019 Reference Appendices RA3.6.3. (Energy Commission, 2018c)
Compact Hot Water Distribution: Two credits for compact hot water distribution were evaluated.
1. Basic Credit: Design the hot water distribution system to meet minimum requirements for the basic
compact hot water distribution credit according to the procedures outlined in the 2019 Reference
Appendices RA4.4.6 (Energy Commission, 2018c). In many single family homes this may require moving
the water heater from an exterior to an interior garage wall. Multifamily homes with individual water
heaters are expected to easily meet this credit with little or no alteration to plumbing design. CBECC-Res
software assumes a 30% reduction in distribution losses for the basic credit.
2. Expanded Credit: Design the hot water distribution system to meet minimum requirements for the
expanded compact hot water distribution credit according to the procedures outlined in the 2019
Reference Appendices RA3.6.5 (Energy Commission, 2018c). In addition to requiring HERS verification
that the minimum requirements for the basic compact distribution credit are met, this credit also
imposes limitations on pipe location, maximum pipe diameter, and recirculation system controls
allowed.
Drain Water Heat Recovery (DWHR): For multifamily buildings add DWHR that serves the showers in an unequal
flow configuration (pre-heated water is piped directly to the shower) with 50% efficiency. This upgrade assumes
all apartments are served by a DWHR with one unit serving each apartment individually. For a slab-on-grade
building this requires a horizontal unit for the first-floor apartments.
Federally Preempted Measures:
The following additional measures were evaluated. Because these measures require upgrading appliances that
are federally regulated to high efficiency models, they cannot be used to show cost-effectiveness in a local
ordinance. The measures and packages are presented here to show that there are several options for builders
to meet the performance targets. Heating and cooling capacities are autosized by CBECC-Res in all cases.
High Efficiency Furnace: For the mixed-fuel prototypes, upgrade natural gas furnace to one of two condensing
furnace options with an efficiency of 92% or 96% AFUE.
High Efficiency Air Conditioner: For the mixed-fuel prototypes, upgrade the air conditioner to either single-stage
SEER 16 / EER 13 or two-stage SEER 18 / EER 14 equipment.
High Efficiency Heat Pump: For the all-electric prototypes, upgrade the heat pump to either single-stage SEER
16 / EER 13 / HSPF 9 or two-stage SEER 18 / EER 14 / HSPF 10 equipment.
High Efficiency Tankless Water Heater: For the mixed-fuel prototype, upgrade tankless water heater to a
condensing unit with a rated Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) of 0.96.
High Efficiency Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH): For the all-electric prototypes, upgrade the federal minimum
heat pump water heater to a HPWH that meets the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA)7 Tier 3 rating.
The evaluated NEEA water heater is an 80gal unit and is applied to all three building prototypes. Using the same
7 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.

water heater provides consistency in performance across all the equipment upgrade cases, even though hot
water draws differ across the prototypes.
2.3 Package Development
Three to four packages were evaluated for each prototype and climate zone, as described below.
1) Efficiency – Non-Preempted: This package uses only efficiency measures that don’t trigger federal
preemption issues including envelope, and water heating and duct distribution efficiency measures.
2) Efficiency – Equipment, Preempted: This package shows an alternative design that applies HVAC and
water heating equipment that are more efficient than federal standards. The Reach Code Team
considers this more reflective of how builders meet above code requirements in practice.
3) Efficiency & PV: Using the Efficiency – Non-Preempted Package as a starting point8, PV capacity is added
to offset most of the estimated electricity use. This only applies to the all-electric case, since for the
mixed fuel cases, 100% of the projected electricity use is already being offset as required by 2019 Title
24, Part 6.
4) Efficiency & PV/Battery: Using the Efficiency & PV Package as a starting point, PV capacity is added as
well as a battery system.
2.3.1 Solar Photovoltaics (PV)
Installation of on-site PV is required in the 2019 residential code. The PV sizing methodology in each package
was developed to offset annual building electricity use and avoid oversizing which would violate net energy
metering (NEM) rules.9 In all cases, PV is evaluated in CBECC-Res according to the California Flexible Installation
(CFI) assumptions.
The Reach Code Team used two options within the CBECC-Res software for sizing the PV system, described
below. Analysis was conducted to determine the most appropriate sizing method for each package which is
described in the results.
• Standard Design PV – the same PV capacity as is required for the Standard Design case10
• Specify PV System Scaling – a PV system sized to offset a specified percentage of the estimated
electricity use of the Proposed Design case
2.3.2 Energy Storage (Batteries)
A battery system was evaluated in CBECC-Res with control type set to “Time of Use” and with default
efficiencies of 95% for both charging and discharging. The “Time of Use” option assumes batteries are charged
anytime PV generation is greater than the house load but controls when the battery storage system discharges.
During the summer months (July – September) the battery begins to discharge at the beginning of the peak
period at a maximum rate until fully discharged. During discharge the battery first serves the house load but will
8 In cases where there was no cost-effective Efficiency – Non-Preempted Package, the most cost-effective
efficiency measures for that climate zone were also included in the Efficiency & PV Package in order to provide a
combination of both efficiency and PV beyond code minimum.
9 NEM rules apply to the IOU territories only.
10 The Standard Design PV system is sized to offset the electricity use of the building loads which are typically
electric in a mixed fuel home, which includes all loads except space heating, water heating, clothes drying, and
cooking.
2019 Energy Efficiency Ordinance Cost-effectiveness Study

discharge to the electric grid if there is excess energy available. During other months the battery discharges
whenever the PV system does not cover the entire house load and does not discharge to the electric grid. This
control option is considered to be most reflective of the current products on the market. This control option
requires an input for the “First Hour of the Summer Peak” and the Statewide CASE Team applied the default
hour in CBECC-Res which differs by climate zone (either a 6pm or 7pm start). The Self Utilization Credit was
taken when the battery system was modeled.
2.4 Incremental Costs
Table 4 below summarizes the incremental cost assumptions for measures evaluated in this study. Incremental
costs represent the equipment, installation, replacement, and maintenance costs of the proposed measures
relative to the base case.11 Replacement costs are applied to HVAC and DHW equipment, PV inverters, and
battery systems over the 30-year evaluation period. There is no assumed maintenance on the envelope, HVAC,
or DHW measures since there should not be any additional maintenance cost for a more efficient version of the
same system type as the baseline. Costs were estimated to reflect costs to the building owner. When costs were
obtained from a source that didn’t already include builder overhead and profit, a markup of ten percent was
added. All costs are provided as present value in 2020 (2020 PV$). Costs due to variations in furnace, air
conditioner, and heat pump capacity by climate zone were not accounted for in the analysis.
Equipment lifetimes applied in this analysis for the water heating and space conditioning measures are
summarized in Table 3.

2.5 Cost-effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness was evaluated for all sixteen climate zones and is presented based on both TDV energy, using
the Energy Commission’s LCC methodology, and an On-Bill approach using residential customer utility rates.
Both methodologies require estimating and quantifying the value of the energy impact associated with energy
efficiency measures over the life of the measures (30 years) as compared to the prescriptive Title 24
requirements.
Results are presented as a lifecycle benefit-to-cost (B/C) ratio, a net present value (NPV) metric which
represents the cost-effectiveness of a measure over a 30-year lifetime taking into account discounting of future
savings and costs and financing of incremental first 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 3.
Equation 3

𝑀𝑃𝑉 𝑙𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑎 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑟
In most cases the benefit is represented by annual utility savings or TDV savings and the cost by incremental first
cost and replacement costs. However, in some cases a measure may have incremental cost savings but with
increased energy related costs. In this case, the benefit is the lower first cost and the cost is the increase in
utility bills. The lifetime costs or benefits are calculated according to Equation 4.
Equation 4

Where:
• n = analysis term
• r = discount rate
The following summarizes the assumptions applied in this analysis to both methodologies.
• Analysis term of 30-years
• Real discount rate of 3 percent
• Inflation rate of 2 percent
• First incremental costs are financed into a 30-year mortgage
• Mortgage interest rate of 4.5 percent
• Average tax rate of 20 percent (to account for tax savings due to loan interest deductions)
2.5.1 On-Bill Customer Lifecycle Cost
Residential utility rates were used to calculate utility costs for all cases and determine On-Bill customer cost-
effectiveness for the proposed packages. The Reach Codes Team obtained the recommended utility rates from
each IOU based on the assumption that the reach codes go into effect January of 2020. Annual utility costs were
calculated using hourly electricity and gas output from CBECC-Res and applying the utility tariffs summarized in
Table 5. Appendix B – Utility Tariff Details includes the utility rate schedules used for this study. The applicable
residential time-of-use (TOU) rate was applied to all cases.13 Annual electricity production in excess of annual
electricity consumption is credited to the utility account at the applicable wholesale rate based on the approved

NEM2 tariffs for that utility. Minimum daily use billing and mandatory non-bypassable charges have been
applied. Future change to the NEM tariffs are likely; however, there is a lot of uncertainty about what those
changes will be and if they will become effective during the 2019 code cycle (2020-2022).
The net surplus compensation rates for each utility are as follows:14
• PG&E: $0.0287 / kWh
• SCE: $0.0301 / kWh
• SDG&E: $0.0355 / kWh
Utility rates were applied to each climate zone based on the predominant IOU serving the population of each
zone according to Two SCE tariff options were evaluated: TOU-D-4-9 and TOU-D-PRIME. The TOU-D-PRIME rate
is only available to customers with heat pumps for either space or water heating, a battery storage system, or an
electric vehicle and therefore was only evaluated for the all-electric cases and the Efficiency & PV/Battery
packages. The rate which resulted in the lowest annual cost to the customer was used for this analysis, which
was TOU-D-4-9 in all cases with the exception of the single family all-electric cases in Climate Zone 14.
Table 5. Climate Zones 10 and 14 are evaluated with both SCE/SoCalGas and SDG&E tariffs since each utility has
customers within these climate zones. Climate Zone 5 is evaluated under both PG&E and SoCalGas natural gas
rates.
Two SCE tariff options were evaluated: TOU-D-4-9 and TOU-D-PRIME. The TOU-D-PRIME rate is only available to

cases with the exception of the single family all-electric cases in Climate Zone 14.

Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time, using assumptions from research conducted by Energy and
Environmental Economics (E3) in the 2019 study Residential Building Electrification in California study (Energy &
Environmental Economics, 2019). Escalation of natural gas rates between 2019 and 2022 is based on the
currently filed General Rate Cases (GRCs) for PG&E, SoCalGas and SDG&E. From 2023 through 2025, gas rates
are assumed to escalate at 4% per year above inflation, which reflects historical rate increases between 2013
and 2018. Escalation of electricity rates from 2019 through 2025 is assumed to be 2% per year above inflation,
based on electric utility estimates. After 2025, escalation rates for both natural gas and electric rates are
assumed to drop to a more conservative 1% escalation per year above inflation for long-term rate trajectories
beginning in 2026 through 2050. See Appendix B – Utility Tariff Details for additional details.

2.5.2 TDV Lifecycle Cost
Cost-effectiveness was also assessed using the Energy Commission’s TDV LCC methodology. TDV is a normalized
monetary format developed and used by the Energy Commission for comparing electricity and natural gas
savings, and it considers the cost of electricity and natural gas consumed during different times of the day and
year. The 2019 TDV values are based on long term discounted costs of 30 years for all residential measures. The
CBECC-Res simulation software outputs are in terms of TDV kBTUs. The present value of the energy cost savings
in dollars is calculated by multiplying the TDV kBTU savings by a net present value (NPV) factor, also developed
by the Energy Commission. The NPV factor is $0.173/TDV kBtu for residential buildings.
Like the customer B/C ratio, a TDV B/C ratio value of one indicates the savings over the life of the measure are
equivalent to the incremental cost of that measure. A value greater than one represents a positive return on
investment. The ratio is calculated according to Equation 5.

2.6 Electrification Evaluation
In addition to evaluating upgrades to mixed fuel and all-electric buildings independently that do not result in fuel
switching, the Reach Code Team also analyzed the impact on construction costs, utility costs, and TDV when a
builder specifies and installs electric appliances instead of the gas appliances typically found in a mixed fuel
building. This analysis compared the code compliant mixed fuel prototype, which uses gas for space heating,
water heating, cooking, and clothes drying, with the code compliant all-electric prototype. It also compared the
all-electric Efficiency & PV Package with the code compliance mixed fuel prototype. In these cases, the relative
costs between natural gas and electric appliances, differences between in-house electricity and gas
infrastructure and the associated infrastructure costs for providing gas to the building were also included.
A variety of sources were reviewed when determining incremental costs. The sources are listed below.
• SMUD All-Electric Homes Electrification Case Study (EPRI, 2016)
• City of Palo Alto 2019 Title 24 Energy Reach Code Cost-effectiveness Analysis (TRC, 2018)

Incremental costs are presented in Table 6. Values in parentheses represent a lower cost or cost reduction in the
electric option relative to mixed fuel. The costs from the available sources varied widely, making it difficult to
develop narrow cost estimates for each component. For certain components data is provided with a low to high
range as well as what were determined to be typical costs and ultimately applied in this analysis. Two sets of
typical costs are presented, one which is applied in the On-Bill cost effectiveness methodology and another
applied in the TDV methodology. Details of these differences are explained in the discussion of site gas
infrastructure costs in the following pages.

1Low and high costs represent the potential range of costs and typical represents the costs used in this analysis and
determined to be most representative of the conditions described in this report. Two sets of typical costs are presented,
one which is applied in the On-Bill cost effectiveness methodology and another applied in the TDV methodology.
2Typical costs assume electric resistance technology. The high range represents higher end induction cooktops and heat
pump clothes dryers. Lower cost induction cooktops are available.
Typical incremental costs for switching from a mixed fuel design to an all-electric design are based on the
following assumptions:
Appliances: The Reach Code Team determined that the typical first installed cost for electric appliances is very
similar to that for natural gas appliances. This was based on information provided by HVAC contractors,
plumbers and builders as well as a review of other studies. After review of various sources, the Reach Code
Team concluded that the cost difference between gas and electric resistance options for clothes dryers and
stoves is negligible and that the lifetimes of the two technologies are also similar.
HVAC: Typical HVAC incremental costs were based on the City of Palo Alto 2019 Title 24 Energy Reach Code
Cost-effectiveness Analysis (TRC, 2018) which assumes approximately $200 first cost savings for the heat
pump relative to the gas furnace and air conditioner. Table 6 also includes the present value of the
incremental replacement costs for the heat pump based on a 15-year lifetime and a 20-year lifetime for the
gas furnace in the mixed fuel home.
DHW: Typical costs for the water heating system were based on equivalent installed first costs for the HPWH
and tankless gas water heater. This accounts for slightly higher equipment cost but lower installation labor
due to the elimination of the gas flue. Incremental replacement costs for the HPWH are based on a 15-year
lifetime and a 20-year lifetime for the tankless water heater.
For multifamily, less data was available and therefore a range of low and high costs is not provided. The
typical first cost for multifamily similarly is expected to be close to the same for the mixed fuel and all-
electric designs. However, there are additional considerations with multifamily such as greater complexity
for venting of natural gas appliances as well as for locating the HPWH within the conditioned space (all
climates except Climate Zones 1, 3, and 5, see Table 2) that may impact the total costs.
Electric service upgrade: The study assumes an incremental cost to run 220V service to each appliance of $200
per appliance for single family homes and $150 per appliance per multifamily apartment based on cost
estimates from builders and contractors. The Reach Code Team reviewed production builder utility plans for
2019 Energy Efficiency Ordinance Cost-effectiveness Study

mixed-fuel homes and consulted with contractors to estimate which electricity and/or natural gas services are
usually provided to the dryer and oven. Typical practice varied, with some builders providing both gas and
electric service to both appliances, others providing both services to only one of the appliances, and some only
providing gas. For this study, the Reach Code Team determined that for single family homes the typical cost is
best qualified by the practice of providing 220V service and gas to either the dryer and the oven and only gas
service to the other. For multifamily buildings it’s assumed that only gas is provided to the dryer and oven in the
mixed fuel home.
It is assumed that no upgrades to the electrical panel are required and that a 200 Amp panel is typically installed
for both mixed fuel and all-electric new construction homes. There are no incremental electrical site
infrastructure requirements.
In-house gas infrastructure (from meter to appliances): Installation cost to run a gas line from the meter to the
appliance location is $200 per appliance for single family and $150 per appliance per multifamily apartment
based on cost estimates from builders and contractors. The cost estimate includes providing gas to the water
heater, furnace, dryer and cooktop.
Site gas infrastructure: The cost-effective analysis components with the highest degree of variability are the
costs for on-site gas infrastructure. These costs can be project dependent and may be significantly impacted by
such factors as utility territory, site characteristics, distance to the nearest gas main and main location, joint
trenching, whether work is conducted by the utility or a private contractor, and number of dwelling units per
development. All gas utilities participating in this study were solicited for cost information. The typical
infrastructure costs for single family homes presented in Table 6 are based on cost data provided by PG&E and
reflect those for a new subdivision in an undeveloped area requiring the installation of natural gas
infrastructure, including a main line. Infrastructure costs for infill development can also be highly variable and
may be higher than in an undeveloped area. The additional costs associated with disruption of existing roads,
sidewalks, and other structures can be significant. Total typical costs in Table 6 assume $10,000 for extension of
a gas main, $1,686 for a service lateral, and $150 for the meter.
Utility Gas Main Extensions rules15 specify that the developer has the option to only pay 50% of the total cost for
a main extension after subtraction of allowances for installation of gas appliances. This 50% refund and the
appliance allowance deductions are accounted for in the site gas infrastructure costs under the On-Bill cost-
effectiveness methodology. The net costs to the utility after partial reimbursement from the developer are
included in utility ratebase and recovered via rates to all customers. The total cost of $5,750 presented in Table
6 reflects a 50% refund on the $10,000 extension and appliance deductions of $1,086 for a furnace, water
heater, cooktop, and dryer. Under the On-Bill methodology this analysis assumes this developer option will
remain available through 2022 and that the cost savings are passed along to the customer.
The 50% refund and appliance deductions were not applied to the site gas infrastructure costs under the TDV
cost-effectiveness methodology based on input received from the Energy Commission and agreement from the
Reach Code technical advisory team that the approach is appropriate. TDV cost savings impacts extend beyond
the customer and account for societal impacts of energy use. Accounting for the full cost of the infrastructure
upgrades was determined to be justified when evaluating under the TDV methodology.

Less information was available for the costs associated with gas infrastructure for low-rise multifamily
development. The typical cost in Table 6 for the On-Bill methodology is based on TRC’s City of Palo Alto 2019
Title 24 Energy Reach Code Cost-effectiveness Analysis (TRC, 2018). These costs, provided by the City of Palo
Alto, are approximately $25,100 for an 8-unit new construction building and reflect connection to an existing
main for infill development. Specific costs include plan review, connection charges, meter and manifold,
plumbing distribution, and street cut fees. While these costs are specifically based on infill development and
from one municipal utility, the estimates are less than those provided by PG&E reflecting the average cost
differences charged to the developer between single family and multifamily in an undeveloped area (after
accounting for deductions per the Gas Main Extensions rule). To convert costs charged to the developer to
account for the full infrastructure upgrade cost (costs applied in the TDV methodology analysis), a factor of
2.0616 was calculated based on the single family analysis. This same factor was applied to the multifamily cost of
$3,140 to arrive at $6,463 (see Table 6).
2.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Equivalent CO2 emission savings 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. For natural gas a fixed factor of 0.005307 metric tons/therm is used. To compare the mixed fuel and all-
electric cases side-by-side, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are presented as CO2-equivalent emissions per
square foot of conditioned floor area.
3 Results
The primary objective of the evaluation is to identify cost-effective, non-preempted performance targets for
both single family and low-rise multifamily prototypes, under both mixed fuel and all-electric cases, to support
the design of local ordinances requiring new low-rise residential buildings to exceed the minimum state
requirements. The packages presented are representative examples of designs and measures that can be used
to meet the requirements. In practice, a builder can use any combination of non-preempted or preempted
compliant measures to meet the requirements.
This analysis covered all sixteen climate zones and evaluated two efficiency packages, including a non-
preempted package and a preempted package that includes upgrades to federally regulated equipment, an
Efficiency & PV Package for the all-electric scenario only, and an Efficiency & PV/Battery Package. For the
efficiency-only packages, measures were refined to ensure that the non-preempted package was cost-effective
based on one of the two metrics applied in this study, TDV or On-Bill. The preempted equipment package, which
the Reach Code Team considers to be a package of upgrades most reflective of what builders commonly apply to
exceed code requirements, was designed to be cost-effective based on the On-Bill cost-effectiveness approach.
Results are presented as EDR Margin instead of compliance margin. EDR is the metric used to determine code
compliance in the 2019 cycle. Target EDR Margin is based on taking the calculated EDR Margin for the case and
rounding down to the next half of a whole number. Target EDR Margin for the Efficiency Package are defined
based on the lower of the EDR Margin of the non-preempted package and the equipment, preempted package.
For example, if for a particular case the cost-effective non-preempted package has an EDR Margin of 3 and the
preempted package an EDR Margin of 4, the Target EDR Margin is set at 3.
16 This factor includes the elimination of the 50% refund for the main extension and adding back in the appliance
allowance deductions.

For a package to qualify, a minimum EDR Margin of 0.5 was required. This is to say that a package that only
achieved an EDR Margin of 0.4, for example, was not considered. An EDR Margin less than 0.5 generally
corresponds to a compliance margin lower than 5% and was considered too small to ensure repeatable results.
In certain cases, the Reach Code Team did not identify a cost-effective package that achieved the minimum EDR
Margin of 0.5.
Although some of the efficiency measures evaluated were not cost-effective and were eliminated, the following
measures are included in at least one package:
• Reduced infiltration
• Improved fenestration
• Improved cool roofs
• High performance attics
• Slab insulation
• Reduced duct leakage
• Verified low leakage ducts in conditioned space
• Low pressure-drop distribution system
• Compact hot water distribution system, basic and expanded
• High efficiency furnace, air conditioner & heat pump (preempted)
• High efficiency tankless water heater & heat pump water heater (preempted)
3.1 PV and Battery System Sizing
The approach to determining the size of the PV and battery systems varied based on each package and the
source fuel. Table 7 describes the PV and battery sizing approaches applied to each of the four packages. For the
Efficiency Non-preempted and Efficiency – Equipment, Preempted packages a different method was applied to
each the two fuel scenarios. In all mixed fuel cases, the PV was sized to offset 100% of the estimated electrical
load and any electricity savings from efficiency measures were traded off with a smaller PV system. Not
downsizing the PV system after adding efficiency measures runs the risk of producing more electricity than is
consumed, reducing cost-effectiveness and violating NEM rules. While the impact of this in most cases is minor,
analysis confirmed that cost-effectiveness improved when reducing the system size to offset 100% of the
electricity usage as opposed to keeping the PV system the same size as the Standard Design.
In the all-electric Efficiency cases, the PV system size was left to match the Standard Design (Std Design PV), and
the inclusion of energy efficiency measures was not traded off with a reduced capacity PV system. Because the
PV system is sized to meet the electricity load of a mixed fuel home, it is cost-effective to keep the PV system
the same size and offset a greater percentage of the electrical load.
For the Efficiency & PV case on the all-electric home, the Reach Code Team evaluated PV system sizing to offset
100%, 90% and 80% of the total calculated electricity use. Of these three, sizing to 90% proved to be the most
cost-effective based on customer utility bills. This is a result of the impact of the annual minimum bill which is
around $120 across all the utilities. The “sweet spot” is a PV system that reduces electricity bills just enough to
match the annual minimum bill; increasing the PV size beyond this adds first cost but does not result in utility bill
savings.

A sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the appropriate battery and PV capacity for the Efficiency &
PV/Battery Packages using the 1-story 2,100 square foot prototype in Climate Zone 12. Results are shown in
Figure 2. The current version of CBECC-Res requires a minimum battery size of 5 kWh to qualify for the self-
utilization credit. CBECC-Res allows for PV oversizing up to 160% of the building’s estimated electricity load
when battery storage systems are installed; however, the Reach Code Team considered this high, potentially
problematic from a grid perspective, and likely not acceptable to the utilities or customers. The Reach Code
Team compared cost-effectiveness of 5kWh and 7.5kWh battery systems as well as of PV systems sized to offset
90%, 100%, or 120% of the estimated electrical load.
Results show that from an on-bill perspective a smaller battery size is more cost-effective. The sensitivity
analysis also showed that increasing the PV capacity from 90% to 120% of the electricity use reduced cost-
effectiveness. From the TDV perspective there was little difference in results across all the scenarios, with the
larger battery size being marginally more cost-effective. Based on these results, the Reach Code Team applied to
the Efficiency & PV/Battery Package a 5kWh battery system for single family homes with PV sized to offset 100%
of the electricity load. Even though PV scaled to 90% was the most cost-effective, sizing was increased to 100%
to evaluate greater generation beyond the Efficiency & PV Package and to achieve zero net electricity. These
results also show that in isolation, the inclusion of a battery system reduces cost-effectiveness compared to the
same size PV system without batteries.
For multifamily buildings the battery capacity was scaled to reflect the average ratio of battery size to PV system
capacity (kWh/kW) for the single family Efficiency & PV Package. This resulted in a 22kWh battery for the
multifamily building, or 2.75kWh per apartment.

3.2 Single Family Results
Table 8 through Table 10 contain cost effectiveness findings for the single family packages. Table 8 summarizes
the package costs for all of the mixed fuel and all-electric efficiency, PV and battery packages. The mixed fuel
results are evaluated and presented relative to a mixed fuel code compliant basecase while the all-electric
results are relative to an all-electric code compliant basecase.
Table 9 and Table 10 present the B/C ratios for all the single family packages according to both the On-Bill and
TDV methodologies for the mixed fuel and the all-electric cases, respectively. Results are cost-effective based on
TDV for all cases except for Climate Zone 7 where no cost-effective combination of non-preempted efficiency
measures was found that met the minimum 0.5 EDR Margin threshold. Cases where the B/C ratio is indicated as
“>1” refer to instances where there are incremental cost savings in addition to annual utility bill savings. In these
cases, there is no cost associated with the upgrade and benefits are realized immediately.
Figure 3 presents a comparison of Total EDRs for single family buildings and Figure 4 presents the EDR Margin
results. Each graph compares the mixed fuel and all-electric cases as well as the various packages. The EDR
Margin for the Efficiency Package for most climates is between 1.0 and 5.5 for mixed fuel cases and slightly
higher, between 1.5 and 6.5, for the all-electric design. No cost-effective mixed fuel or all-electric non-
preempted Efficiency package was found Climate Zone 7.
For the mixed fuel case, the Efficiency & PV/Battery Package increased the EDR Margin to values between 7.0
and 10.5. Because of the limitations on oversizing PV systems to offset natural gas use it is not feasible to
achieve higher EDR Margins by increasing PV system capacity.
For the all-electric case, the Efficiency & PV Package resulted in EDR Margins of 11.0 to 19.0 for most climates;
adding a battery system increased the EDR Margin by an additional 7 to 13 points. Climate zones 1 and 16, which
have high heating loads, have much higher EDR Margins for the Efficiency & PV package (26.5-31.0). The
Standard Design PV, which is what is applied in the all-electric Efficiency Package, is not sized to offset any of the
heating load. When the PV system is sized to offset 90% of the total electricity use, the increase is substantial as
a result. In contrast, in Climate Zone 15 the Standard Design PV system is already sized to cover the cooling
electricity load, which represents 40% of whole building electricity use. Therefore, increasing the PV size to
offset 90% of the electric load in this climate only results in adding approximately 120 Watts of PV capacity and
subsequently a negligible impact on the EDR.
Additional results details can be found in Appendix C – Single Family Detailed Results with summaries of
measures included in each of the packages in Appendix D – Single Family Measure Summary. A summary of
results by climate zone is presented in Appendix G – Results by Climate Zone.

3.2.1 GHG Emission Reductions
Figure 5 compares annual GHG emissions for both mixed fuel and all-electric single family 2019 code compliant
cases with Efficiency, Efficiency & PV and Efficiency & PV/Battery packages. GHG emissions vary by climate but
are consistently higher in mixed fuel cases than all-electric. Standard Design mixed fuel emissions range from 1.3
(CZ 7) to 3.3 (CZ 16) lbs CO2e/square foot of floor area, where all-electric Standard Design emissions range from
0.7 to 1.7 lbs CO2e/ ft2. Adding efficiency, PV and batteries to the mixed fuel code compliant prototype reduces
GHG emissions by 20% on average to between 1.0 and 1.8 lbs CO2e/ft2, with the exception of Climate Zones 1
and 16. Adding efficiency, PV and batteries to the all-electric code compliant prototype reduces annual GHG
emissions by 65% on average to 0.8 lbs CO2e/ft2 or less. None of the cases completely eliminate GHG emissions.
Because of the time value of emissions calculation for electricity in CBECC-Res, there is always some amount of
GHG impacts with using electricity from the grid.
Figure 5: Single family greenhouse gas emissions comparison
3.3 Multifamily Results
Table 11 through Table 13 contain cost effectiveness findings for the multifamily packages. Table 11 summarizes
the package costs for all the mixed fuel and all-electric efficiency, PV and battery packages.
Table 12 and Table 13 present the B/C ratios for all the packages according to both the On-Bill and TDV
methodologies for the mixed fuel and the all-electric cases, respectively. All the packages are cost-effective
based on TDV except Climate Zone 3 for the all-electric cases where no cost-effective combination of non-
preempted efficiency measures was found that met the minimum 0.5 EDR Margin threshold. Cases where the
B/C ratio is indicated as “>1” refer to instances where there are incremental cost savings in addition to annual
utility bill savings. In these cases, there is no cost associated with this upgrade and benefits are realized
immediately.
It is generally more challenging to achieve equivalent savings targets cost-effectively for the multifamily cases
than for the single family cases. With less exterior surface area per floor area the impact of envelope measures
2019 Energy Efficiency Ordinance Cost-effectiveness Study
27 2019-08-01
is diminished in multifamily buildings. Ducts are already assumed to be within conditioned space and therefore
only one of the duct measures found to be cost-effective in single family homes can be applied.
Figure 6 presents a comparison of Total EDRs for the multifamily cases and Figure 7 presents the EDR Margin
results. Each graph compares the mixed fuel and all-electric cases as well as the various packages. Cost-effective
efficiency packages were found for all mixed fuel cases. The Target EDR Margins for the mixed fuel Efficiency
Package are 0.5 for Climate Zones 3, 5 and 7, between 1.0 and 2.5 for Climate Zones 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 through 12 and
16, and between 3.0 and 4.0 in Climate Zones 13 through 15. For the all-electric case, no cost-effective non-
preempted efficiency packages were found in Climate Zone 3. The Target EDR Margins are between 0.5 and 2.5
for Climate Zones 2, 4 through 10 and 12, and between 3.0 and 4.0 in Climate Zones 1, 11, and 13 through 16.
For the mixed fuel case, the Efficiency & PV/Battery Package results in an EDR Margin of between 8.5 and 11.5
across all climate zones. Most of these packages were not found to be cost-effective based on utility bill savings
alone, but they all are cost-effective based on TDV energy savings. For the all-electric case, the Efficiency & PV
Package resulted in EDR Margins of 10.5 to 17.5 for most climates; adding a battery system increased the EDR
Margin by an additional 10 to 15 points. Climate zones 1 and 16, which have high heating loads, have much
higher EDR Margins for the Efficiency & PV package (19.5-22.5). The Standard Design PV, which is what is
applied in the Efficiency Package, is not sized to offset any of the heating load. When the PV system is sized to
offset 90% of the total electricity use, the increase is substantial as a result. In Climate Zone 15 the Standard
Design PV system is already sized to cover the cooling electricity load, which represents 30% of whole building
electricity use. Therefore, increasing the PV size to offset 90% of the electric load in this climate only results in
adding approximately 240 Watts of PV capacity per apartment and subsequently a much smaller impact on the
EDR than in other climate zones. Because of the limitations on oversizing PV systems to offset natural gas use it
is not feasible to achieve comparable EDR Margins for the mixed fuel case as in the all-electric case.
Additional results details can be found in Appendix E – Multifamily Detailed Results with summaries of measures
included in each of the packages in Appendix F – Multifamily Measure Summary. A summary of results by
climate zone is presented in Appendix G – Results by Climate Zone.

3.3.1 GHG Emission Reductions
Figure 8 compares annual GHG emissions for both mixed fuel and all-electric multifamily 2019 code compliant
cases with Efficiency, Efficiency & PV and Efficiency & PV/Battery packages. GHG emissions vary by climate but
are consistently higher in mixed fuel cases than all-electric. Standard design mixed fuel emissions range from 2.0
to 3.0 lbs CO2e/square foot of floor area, where all-electric standard design emissions range from 1.2 to 1.7 lbs
CO2e/ ft2. Adding PV, batteries and efficiency to the mixed fuel code compliant prototype reduces annual GHG
emissions by 17% on average to between 1.7 and 2.2 lbs CO2e/ft2, except Climate Zone 16. Adding PV, batteries
and efficiency to the all-electric code compliant prototype reduces annual GHG emissions by 64% on average to
0.6 lbs CO2e/ft2 or less with the exception of Climate Zones 14, 15 and 16. As in the single family case, none of
the cases completely eliminate GHG emissions because of the time value of emissions calculation for electricity
in CBECC-Res.
Figure 8: Multifamily greenhouse gas emissions comparison
3.4 Electrification Results
Cost-effectiveness results comparing mixed fuel and all-electric cases are summarized below. The tables show
average annual utility bill impacts and lifetime utility bill impacts, which account for fuel escalation for electricity
and natural gas (see Section 2.5), lifetime equipment cost savings, and both On-Bill and TDV cost-effectiveness
(B/C ratio). Positive utility bill values indicate lower utility costs for the all-electric home relative to the mixed
fuel case while negative values in red and parenthesis indicate higher utility costs for the all-electric case.
Lifetime equipment cost savings include savings due to eliminating natural gas infrastructure and replacement
costs for appliances based on equipment life. Positive values for the lifetime equipment cost savings indicate
lower installed costs for the all-electric and negative values indicate higher costs. B/C ratios 1.0 or greater
indicate positive cost-effectiveness. Cases where the B/C ratio is indicated as “>1” refer to instances where there
was incremental cost savings in addition to annual utility bill savings. In these cases, there is no cost associated
with this upgrade and benefits are realized immediately.
2019 Energy Efficiency Ordinance Cost-effectiveness Study

Three scenarios were evaluated:
1. 2019 Code Compliant: Compares a 2019 code compliant all-electric home with a 2019 code compliant
mixed fuel home.
2. Efficiency & PV Package: Compares an all-electric home with efficiency and PV sized to 90% of the
annual electricity use to a 2019 code compliant mixed fuel home. The first cost savings in the code
compliant all-electric house is invested in above code efficiency and PV reflective of the Efficiency & PV
packages described above.
3. Neutral Cost Package: Compares an all-electric home with PV beyond code minimum with a 2019 code
compliant mixed fuel home. The PV system for the all-electric case is sized to result in a zero lifetime
incremental cost relative to a mixed fuel home.
3.4.1 Single Family
Table 14, Table 15, Figure 9, Figure 10, and Figure 11 present results of cost-effectiveness analysis for
electrification of single family buildings, according to both the On-Bill and TDV methodologies. Based on typical
cost assumptions arrived at for this analysis, the lifetime equipment costs for the single family code compliant
all-electric option are approximately $5,350 less than the mixed fuel code compliant option. Cost savings are
entirely due to the elimination of gas infrastructure, which was assumed to be a savings of $5,750. When
evaluating cost-effectiveness based on TDV, the Utility Gas Main Extensions rules 50% refund and appliance
allowance deduction are not applied and therefore the cost savings are twice as much.
Under the Efficiency & PV Package and the On-Bill analysis, the incremental cost of the efficiency and PV is
typically more than the cost savings seen in the code compliant case, which results in a net cost increase in most
climate zones for the all-electric case. In climates with small heating loads (7 and 15) there continues to be an
incremental cost savings for the all-electric home. With the TDV analysis, there is still an incremental cost
savings in all climates except 1 and 16 for single family.
Utility impacts differ by climate zone and utility, but utility costs for the code compliant all-electric option are
typically higher than for the compliant mixed fuel design. There are utility cost savings across all climates zones
and building types for the all-electric Efficiency & PV Package, resulting in a more cost-effective option.
The all-electric code compliant option is cost-effective based on the On-Bill approach for single family homes in
Climate Zones 6 through 9, 10 (SCE/SoCalGas territory only), and 15. The code compliant option is cost-effective
based on the TDV methodology in all climate zones except 1 and 16. If the same costs used for the On-Bill
approach are also used for the TDV approach (incorporating the Utility Gas Main Extensions rules 50% refund
and appliance allowance deduction), the all-electric code compliant option is cost-effective in Climate Zones 6
through 10. The Efficiency & PV all-electric option is cost-effective in all climate zones based on both the On-Bill
and TDV methodologies. In many cases it is cost-effective immediately with lower equipment and utility costs.
The last set of results in Table 14 shows the neutral cost case where the cost savings for the all-electric code
compliant home is invested in a larger PV system, resulting in a lifetime incremental cost of zero based on the
On-Bill approach. This package results in utility cost savings in all cases except Climate Zones 1, 14 (SCE/SoCalGas
territory only), and 16. For these three cases the Reach Code Team evaluated how much additional PV would be
required to result in a cost-effective package. These results are presented in Table 15 and show that an
additional 1.6kW in Climate Zone 1 results in a B/C ratio of 1.1. For Climate Zone 14 and 16 adding 0.25kW and
1.2kW, respectively, results in a B/C ratio of 1.2. Neutral cost cases are cost-effective based on the TDV
methodology in all climate zones except 16.
3.4.2 Multifamily
Multifamily results are found in Table 16, Table 17, Figure 12, Figure 13, and Figure 14. Lifetime costs for the
multifamily code compliant all-electric option are approximately $2,300 less than the mixed fuel code compliant
option, entirely due to the elimination of gas infrastructure. When evaluating cost-effectiveness based on TDV,
2019 Energy Efficiency Ordinance Cost-effectiveness Study
34 2019-08-01
the Utility Gas Main Extensions rules 50% refund and appliance allowance deduction are not applied and
therefore the cost savings are approximately 2.5 times higher.
With the Efficiency & PV Package and the On-Bill analysis, due to the added cost of the efficiency and PV there is
a net cost increase for the all-electric case in all climate zones for except 7, 8, 9, and 15. With the TDV analysis,
there is still an incremental cost savings in all climates. Like the single family results, utility costs are typically
higher for the code compliant all-electric option but lower than the code compliant mixed fuel option with the
Efficiency & PV Package.
The all-electric code compliant option is cost-effective based on the On-Bill approach for multifamily in Climate
Zones 6 through 9, 10 and 14 (SCE/SoCalGas territory only), and 15. Based on the TDV methodology, the code
compliant option for multifamily is cost-effective for all climate zones. If the same costs used for the On-Bill
approach are also used for the TDV approach (incorporating the Utility Gas Main Extensions rules 50% refund
and appliance allowance deduction), the all-electric code compliant option is cost-effective in Climate Zones 8
and 9. Like the single family cases, the Efficiency & PV all-electric option is cost-effective in all climate zones
based on both the On-Bill and TDV methodologies.
The last set of results in Table 16 show the neutral cost case where the cost savings for the all-electric code
compliant home is invested in a larger PV system, resulting in a lifetime incremental cost of zero based on the
On-Bill approach. This package results in utility cost savings in all cases except Climate Zone 1. For this case the
Reach Code Team evaluated how much additional PV would be required to result in a cost-effective package.
These results are presented in Table 17 and show that an additional 0.3kW per apartment results in a B/C ratio
of 1.1. Neutral cost cases are cost-effective based on the TDV methodology in all climate zones except 16.

4 Conclusions & Summary
This report evaluated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of “above code” performance specifications through
the application of efficiency measures, PV, and electric battery storage in all 16 California climate zones. The
analysis found cost-effective packages across the state for both single family and low-rise multifamily buildings.
For the building types and climate zones where cost-effective packages were identified, the results of this
analysis can be used by local jurisdictions to support the adoption of reach codes. Cost-effectiveness was
evaluated according to two metrics: On-Bill customer lifecycle benefit-to-cost and TDV lifecycle benefit-to-cost.
While all the above code targets presented are based on packages that are cost-effective under at least one of
these metrics, they are not all cost-effective under both metrics. Generally, the test for being cost-effective
under the TDV methodology is less challenging than under the On-Bill methodology. Therefore, all packages
presented are cost-effective based on TDV, and may or may not be cost-effective based on the On-Bill method.
It is up to each jurisdiction to determine what metric is most appropriate for their application. A summary of
results by climate zone are presented in Appendix G – Results by Climate Zone.
Above code targets are presented as Target EDR Margin, which have been defined for each scenario where a
cost-effective package was identified. Target EDR Margins represent the maximum “reach” values that meet the
requirements. Jurisdictions may adopt less stringent requirements. For the Efficiency Package the Target EDR
Margin was defined based on the lower EDR Margin of the Efficiency – Non-Preempted Package and the
Efficiency – Equipment, Preempted Package. For example, if the cost-effective Non-Preempted package has an
EDR Margin of 3 and the Preempted package an EDR Margin of 4, the Target EDR Margin is set at 3.
The average incremental cost for the single family Efficiency packages is ~$1,750. The Efficiency & PV Package
average incremental cost is $9,180 and for the Efficiency & PV/Battery Package it is approximately $5,600 for the
2019 Energy Efficiency Ordinance Cost-effectiveness Study

mixed fuel cases and $15,100 for the all-electric cases. The incremental costs for each multifamily apartment are
approximately 30-40% lower. See Table 8 and Table 11 for a summary of package costs by case.
Table 18 and Table 19 summarize the maximum Target EDR Margins determined to be cost effective for each
package for single family and multifamily, respectively. Cases labeled as “n/a” in the tables indicate where no
cost-effective package was identified under either On-Bill or TDV methodology.
This analysis also looked at the GHG emissions impacts of the various packages. An all-electric design reduces
GHG emissions 40-50% in most cases relative to a comparable mixed fuel design.
There is significant interest throughout California on electrification of new buildings. The Reach Code Team
assembled data on the cost differences between a code compliant mixed fuel building and a code compliant all-
electric building. Based on lifetime equipment cost savings (the difference in first cost for equipment and
infrastructure combined with incremental replacement costs) of $5,349 for an all-electric single family home this
analysis found that from a customer on-bill perspective, the all-electric code compliant option is cost-effective in
Climates Zones 6 through 9, 10 (SCE/SoCalGas territory only), and 15, and cost-effective in all climate zones
except 1 and 16 based on TDV. For multifamily buildings, based on a cost savings of $2,337 per apartment, the
code compliant option is cost-effective in Climates Zones 6 through 9, 10 & 14 (SCE/SoCalGas territory only), and
15, and cost-effective based on TDV.
Adding efficiency and PV to the code compliant all-electric buildings increases the cost-effectiveness in all
climate zones. The Efficiency & PV Package is cost-effective when compared to a mixed fuel code compliant
building in all climate zones for both single family and multifamily buildings based on both the On-Bill and TDV
methodologies. The Efficiency & PV package adds PV to offset 90% of the electricity use of the home. While this
results in higher installed costs, the reduced lifetime utility costs are larger ($0 to $6,000 lifetime incremental
equipment costs in many climates for single family homes and an associated $4,500 to $13,500 lifetime utility
cost savings across the same cases), resulting in positive B/C ratios for all cases.
The Reach Code Team also evaluated a neutral cost electrification scenario where the cost savings for the all-
electric code compliant home is invested in a larger PV system, resulting in a lifetime incremental cost of zero
based on the On-Bill approach. This package results in utility cost savings and positive on-bill B/C ratio in all
cases except Climate Zones 1 and 16 for single family, and Climate Zone 1 for low-rise multifamily. Increasing the
PV sizes in those climates by approximately 30% resulted in positive on-bill B/C ratios, while still not resulting in
oversizing of PV systems.
Other studies have shown that cost-effectiveness of electrification increases with high efficiency space
conditioning and water heating equipment in the all-electric home. This was not directly evaluated in this
analysis but based on the favorable cost-effectiveness results of the Equipment, Preempted package for the
individual mixed fuel and all-electric upgrades it’s expected that applying similar packages to the electrification
analysis would result in increased cost-effectiveness.
The Reach Code Team found there can be substantial variability in first costs, particularly related to natural gas
infrastructure. Costs are project-dependent and will be impacted by such factors as site characteristics, distance
to the nearest gas main, joint trenching, whether work is conducted by the utility or a private contractor, and
number of homes per development among other things. While the best cost data available to the Reach Code
Team was applied in this analysis, individual projects may experience different costs, either higher or lower than
the estimates presented here.

Escalation Assumptions
The average annual escalation rates in the following table were used in this study and are from E3’s 2019 study
Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy & Environmental Economics, 2019). These rates are
applied to the 2019 rate schedules over a thirty-year period beginning in 2020. SDG&E was not covered in the E3
study. The Reach Code Team reviewed SDG&E’s GRC filing and applied the same approach that E3 applied for
PG&E and SoCalGas to arrive at average escalation rates between 2020 and 2022.

1All reductions and incremental costs relative to the mixed fuel code compliant home.
2All reductions and incremental costs relative to the all-electric code compliant home.
3All reductions and incremental costs relative to the mixed fuel code compliant home except the EDR Margins are relative to the Standard Design for each case
which is the all-electric code compliant home. Incremental costs for these packages reflect the cots used in the On-Bill cost effectiveness methodology. Costs
differ for the TDV methodology due to differences in the site gas infrastructure costs (see Section 2.6).
4This represents the Efficiency EDR Margin for the Efficiency-Non-Preempted and Efficiency-Equipment packages and Total EDR Margin for the Efficiency & PV,
Efficiency & PV/Battery, Neutral Cost, and Min Cost Effectiveness packages.
5Positive values indicate an increase in PV capacity relative to the Standard Design.

Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units 1 Introduction
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-03-12
1 Introduction
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.
This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state requirements, the 2019
Building Energy Efficiency Standards, effective January 1, 2020, for newly constructed detached Accessory Dwelling
Unit (ADU) buildings. This report was developed in coordination with the California Statewide Investor-Owned Utilities
(CA IOUs) Codes and Standards Program, key consultants, and engaged cities—collectively known as the Reach
Code Team.
The Reach Code Team published a residential new construction report in 2019 that documented the cost-effectiveness
of energy measure packages of single family and low-rise multifamily prototypes (Statewide Reach Code Team, 2019).
Based on stakeholder requests, this report extends that analysis to Residential Detached Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs). Measures include energy efficiency, electrification, solar photovoltaics (PV), and battery storage.
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 measures 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: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units 2 Methodology and Assumptions
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-03-12
2 Methodology and Assumptions
The Reach Codes Team analyzed one prototype design to represent a detached ADU building using the cost-
effectiveness methodology detailed in this section below. The general methodology is consistent with analyses of other
prototypes, whereas some specifics such as utility rate selection are customized for the residential detached ADU
prototype.
2.1 Reach Codes
This section describes the approach to calculating cost-effectiveness including benefits, costs, metrics, and utility rate
selection.
2.1.1 Benefits
This analysis used both on-bill and time dependent valuation (TDV) of energy-based approaches to evaluate cost-
effectiveness. Both on-bill and TDV require estimating and quantifying the energy savings and costs associated with
energy measures. The primary difference between on-bill and TDV is how energy is valued:
• On-Bill: Customer-based lifecycle cost approach that values energy based upon estimated site energy usage
and customer on-bill savings using electricity and natural gas utility rate schedules over a 30-year duration for
the detached ADU accounting for a three percent discount rate and energy cost inflation per Appendix 7.4 .
• TDV: TDV was developed by the Energy Commission to reflect the time dependent value of energy including
long-term projected costs of energy such as the cost of providing energy during peak periods of demand and
other societal costs including projected costs for carbon emissions and grid transmission impacts. This metric
values energy use differently depending on the fuel source (gas, electricity, and propane), time of day, and
season. Electricity used (or saved) during peak periods has a much higher value than electricity used (or
saved) during off-peak periods.
The Reach Code Team performed energy simulations using the most recent software available for 2019 Title 24 code
compliance analysis, CBECC-Res 2019.1.3. The Team also used CBECC-Res 2022.0.1 RV for testing the impacts of
updated weather files and 2022 TDV multipliers on cost-effectiveness. 2022 weather files have more cooling loads and
less heating loads, and 2022 TDV multipliers increased significantly for fossil-fuel sources to reflect CO2 price
forecasts and emissions abatement, while comparatively reducing for electricity to reflect increased renewable
generation penetration (California Energy Commission, 2019).
2.1.2 Costs
The Reach Code Team assessed the incremental costs and savings of the energy packages over the lifecycle of 30
years. Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacements, and maintenance costs of the proposed
measure relative to the 2019 Title 24 Standards minimum requirements or standard industry practices. The Reach
Code Team obtained measure costs from manufacturer distributors, contractors, literature review, and online sources
such as Home Depot and RS Means. Taxes and contractor markups were added as appropriate. Maintenance and
replacement costs are included.
2.1.3 Metrics
Cost-effectiveness is presented using net present value (NPV) and benefit-to-cost (B/C) ratio metrics.
• NPV: The Reach Code Team uses net savings (NPV benefits minus NPV costs) as the cost-effectiveness
metric. If the net savings of a measure or package is positive, it is considered cost effective. Negative net
savings represent net costs to the consumer. A measure that has negative energy cost benefits (energy cost
increase) can still be cost effective if the costs to implement the measure are even more negative (i.e.,
construction and maintenance cost savings).
Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units 3 Methodology and Assumptions
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-03-12
• B/C Ratio: Ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all costs over 30 years (NPV
benefits divided by NPV costs). The criteria for cost-effectiveness is a B/C greater than 1.0. A value of one
indicates the savings over the life of the measure are equivalent to the incremental cost of that measure. A
value greater than one represents a positive return on investment.
Improving the energy performance of a building often requires an initial investment. In most cases the benefit is
represented by annual on-bill utility or TDV savings, and the cost by incremental first cost and replacement costs.
However, some packages result in initial construction cost savings (negative incremental cost), 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 cost-effective immediately (i.e., upfront
construction cost savings and lifetime energy cost savings), B/C ratio cost-effectiveness is represented by “>1”.
Because of these situations, NPV savings are also reported, which, in these cases, are positive values.
2.1.4 Utility Rates
In coordination with the CA IOU rate team, and the publicly available information for several Publicly-Owned-Utilities
(POUs), the Reach Code Team determined appropriate utility rates for each climate zone and package. The utility
tariffs, summarized in Table 1, were determined based on the annual load profile of the prototype and the
corresponding package, the most prevalent rate in each territory, and information assuring that the rates were not
getting phased out.
TRC assumed that the ADU would have a separate electric and gas meter. A time-of-use (TOU) rate was applied to all
cases. For cases with PV generation, the approved NEM tariffs were applied along with minimum daily use billing and
mandatory non-bypassable charges. For the PV cases annual electric production was always less than annual
electricity consumption; and therefore, no credits for surplus generation were necessary. For a more detailed
breakdown of the rates selected refer to Appendix 7.2 - Utility Rate Schedules.

Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time, using assumptions from research conducted by Energy and
Environmental Economics (E3) in the 2019 study Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy &
Environmental Economics, 2019). Escalation of natural gas rates between 2020 and 2022 is based on the currently
Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units 4 Methodology and Assumptions
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-03-12
filed General Rate Cases for PG&E, SoCalGas and SDG&E. From 2023 through 2025, gas rates are assumed to
escalate at four percent per year above inflation, which reflects historical rate increases between 2013 and 2018.
Escalation of electricity rates from 2020 through 2025 is assumed to be four percent per year above inflation, based on
electric utility estimates. After 2025, escalation rates for both natural gas and electric rates are assumed to drop to a
more conservative one percent escalation per year above inflation for long-term rate trajectories beginning in 2026
through 2050. See Appendix 7.4 - Utility Rate Schedules for additional details.
2.2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The analysis uses the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions estimates built-in to CBECC-Res. There are 8760 hourly
multipliers accounting for time dependent energy use and carbon emissions based on source emissions, including
renewable portfolio standard projections. Natural gas fugitive emissions, which are shown to be substantial, are not
included. There are two strings of multipliers—one for Northern California climate zones, and another for Southern
California climate zones.1.
1 CBECC-Res multipliers are the same for CZs 1-5 and 11-13 (presumed to be Northern California), while there is another set of
multipliers for CZs 6-10 and 14-16 (assumed to be Southern California).

3 Prototypes, Measure Packages, and Costs
This section describes the prototype and the scope of analysis drawing from previous 2019 Reach Code research
where necessary.
A customized detached ADU prototype was built to reflect California construction. TRC designed the baseline
prototype to be mixed fuel and have total EDR margins as close to zero as possible to reflect a prescriptively compliant
new construction building in each climate zone.
ADUs are additional dwelling units typically built on the property of an existing single-family parcel. ADUs are defined
as new construction in the energy code when they are ground-up developments, do not convert an existing space to
livable space, and are not attached to the primary dwelling. The Reach Code Team leveraged prior research and
performed interviews to help define the detached ADU baseline and measure packages, primarily to include
infrastructural costs.
3.1 Prior Reach Code Research
In 2019, the Statewide CA IOU Reach Codes Team analyzed the cost-effectiveness of residential new construction
projects for mixed-fuel plus efficiency, all-electric plus efficiency, and demand flexibility packages (Statewide Reach
Codes Team 2019a). Using this analysis, several cities and counties in California adopted local energy code
amendments encouraging or requiring that low-rise residential new construction to be all-electric. However, many
jurisdictions exempted ADUs from these requirements due to uncertainties around how infrastructural and operational
costs may be different between mixed-fuel and all-electric detached ADUs, and to avoid potentially stifling ADU
development.
Because the mixed-fuel packages plus efficiency ADUs are not subject to jurisdictional exemptions, this study focuses
on a new construction all-electric detached ADU and discerns how infrastructural costs and operational costs may
impact the cost-effectiveness compared to a mixed-fuel baseline.
3.2 Prototype Characteristics
To determine a typical set of ADU characteristics, the Reach Code team contacted over twenty ADU builders and city
staff members from regions representing Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Los Angeles area, and the San
Diego area. Ultimately, four builders with construction experience with multiple projects and two city staff members with
experience reviewing and approving ADU project plans were interviewed. Respondents indicated that there are not
particular determinants for siting and sizing detached ADUs other than the site conditions—maximizing available space
is the key consideration. Responses varied greatly on detached ADU size, as client preference, location, and
avoidance of impact fees were expressed as considerations. Sizes can range from roughly 300 ft2 for a studio to over
1200 ft2 for a two-bedroom unit. The Reach Code team selected an average size of 750 ft2 as a typical size for a
detached ADU. 750 ft2 also relates to a threshold for state regulation over which impact fees and discretionary approval
would be applied. Some other findings include:
• Setback requirements follow the four-foot setback requirements of state Assembly Bill 881. Mechanical
equipment may not reside in the setbacks, however, interviewees indicated that there is always one side of the
ADU that isn’t against a setback. Mechanical equipment can usually be placed along those sides and be
hidden by a shed or fence.
• Mechanical equipment footprints may be too big to include inside an ADU with limited floor area, so clients
tend to want to locate the mechanical equipment outside. This is reflected in the all-electric Package 2 (see
Section 3.4).
• Some cities have noise ordinances that limit maximum decibels at the property line, which may pose issues
for exterior heat pump water heaters or heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment. These
maximum noise requirements range from 50-66 decibels (dBs), and exterior heat pump equipment commonly
ranges between 45-60 decibels at the equipment. Interviewees did not express significant concerns about
Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units 6 Prototypes, Measure Packages, and Costs
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-03-12
noise ordinances because manufacturers can provide sound blankets to reduce the decibel rating by five or
more decibels, or developers can locate equipment in an insulated shed to reduce noise.
• When adding a detached ADU the primary dwelling’s electrical panel and service connection nearly always
needs to be upgraded at least to a 125-amp panel, and at least a 200-amp panel where solar PV is being
installed. A 225-amp panel is also common. Electrical upgrades cost roughly $3500, for most common existing
panel sizes or upgraded panel sizes.
• The distance between the detached ADU and primary dwelling can range widely due to lot size and location of
meter and other infrastructure, from as little as five feet to over 100 feet. Based on respondent feedback, the
Reach Code Team used an average distance of 50 feet as the length for both the natural gas and electrical
line extensions for costing purposes.
• Cities do not impose a differing fee structure between all-electric or mixed-fuel ADU design. Fees range from
$4,000 - $6,000 including inspections.
Table 2 summarizes the ADU prototype characteristics, based on prescriptive Title 24 new construction requirements.

3.3 Measure Definitions and Costs
ADU measures fall into two categories: those associated with building all-electric, and those associated with general
efficiency and demand flexibility.
3.3.1 All-Electric
For HVAC and water heating appliance-related costs, the Reach Code Team primarily leveraged measure definitions
and costs from the 2019 Residential New Construction Reach Code Cost-Effectiveness Study. For HVAC system, air-
conditioning is included in both baseline and proposed models. For in-house and site infrastructure the Reach Code
Team developed new data based on interviews and RS Means.
The Reach Code Team found that a new detached ADU would require that the building owner upgrade the service
connection to the lot in both the mixed-fuel ADU design and the all-electric design. The most common size for this
upgrade is 225A, which would not represent an incremental cost from the mixed-fuel project to the all-electric project.
Feeder wiring to the ADU and the ADU subpanel will need to be slightly upgraded for the all-electric design. Electric
vehicle (EV) infrastructure upgrades are excluded from this analysis as ADUs are not required to have dedicated
parking – however, a 225-amp panel is likely to be sufficient for some EV infrastructure for a majority of existing
homes. The total cost for the all-electric measures is summarized in Table 3.

3.4 Measure Packages
The Reach Code Team examined the two electrification packages against a baseline mixed-fuel prescriptive package:
• Detached ADU Baseline Package: Mixed-fuel prescriptively built, including gas utility extension from primarily
dwelling to detached ADU.
• All-Electric Prescriptive Minimum: All-electric prescriptively built, including heat pump water heater location per
Residential Alternate Calculation Method (ACM), shown in Table 6. Includes electric utility extension upgrade
from the primary dwelling to the detached ADU and avoided cost of gas utility extension. This package has the
same PV size as mixed-fuel prescriptive baseline model, offsetting 100 percent of annual electricity demand.
• All-Electric Energy Efficiency + PV: All-electric prescriptively built as above, except water heater location is
outside in exterior closet in all climate zones except Climate Zones 14, 15, and 16, plus energy efficiency
measures, and additional solar PV (offsetting 90 percent of kWh load) to improve cost-effectiveness based on

The Reach Code Team analyzed some additional measure packages:
• 2022 TDV: Both electrification packages, ‘Prescriptive Minimum’ and ‘Energy Efficiency + PV’ are analyzed
against the mixed-fuel baseline package using 2022 TDV multipliers and weather files in CBECC-Res 2022
software.
• Efficiency-Only: The All-Electric Energy Efficiency + PV package is analyzed using CBECC-Res 2019 without
solar PV measure to evaluate the impact of efficiency measures alone, in the case that solar PV cannot be
installed due to shading.

Results are presented as per the prototype-specific Measure Packages described in Section 3.
There are several overarching factors to keep in mind when reviewing the results include:
• What constitutes a ‘benefit’ or a ‘cost’ varies with the scenarios because both energy savings, and
incremental construction costs may be negative depending on the package. Typically, utility bill savings are
categorized as a ‘benefit’ while incremental construction costs are treated as ‘costs.’ In cases where both
construction costs are negative and utility bill savings are negative, the construction cost savings are treated as
the ‘benefit’ while the utility bill negative savings are the ‘cost.’
• All-electric packages will have lower GHG emissions than mixed-fuel packages in all cases, due to the clean
power sources currently available from California’s power providers.
• Since January 2020, compliance of low-rise residential building is analyzed using Energy Design Rating
(EDR). This rating scales from 1 to 100 with 100 being the performance equivalent of a 2006 International
Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This study uses ‘Total EDR Margin’ as a compliance metric that accounts
for all compliant loads along with renewable energy and battery storage. ‘Total EDR Margin’ of 0 represents a
prescriptively compliant building that exactly matches the minimum energy budget prescribed by the 2019 T24
code.
• To receive the Energy Commission’s approval, local reach codes that amend the energy code must both be
cost effective compared to the mixed-fuel baseline package and exceed the energy performance budget
using ‘Total EDR Margin’ metric (i.e., have a positive compliance margin) compared to the standard model in
the compliance software. To emphasize these two important factors, the figures in this Section highlight in
green the modeling results that have a positive compliance margin and/or are cost effective. This will allow
readers to identify whether a scenario is fully or partially supportive of a reach code, and the
opportunities/challenges that the scenario presents. Conversely, Section 5 only highlights results that have
both a positive compliance margin and are cost effective, to allow readers to identify reach code-ready
scenarios.
• When performance modeling residential buildings of three stories or less (such as the Detached ADU), the
Standard Design is electric if the Proposed Design is electric, which removes TDV-related penalties and
associated negative compliance margins. This essentially allows for a compliance pathway for all-electric
residential buildings.
• As mentioned in Section 2.1.4, the Reach Code Team coordinated with utilities to select tariffs for each
prototype given the annual energy demand profile and the most prevalent rates in each utility territory. The
Reach Code Team did not compare a variety of tariffs to determine their impact on cost-effectiveness
although utility rate changes or updates can affect on-bill cost-effectiveness results.
• As a point of comparison, mixed-fuel baseline energy figures are provided in Appendix 7.2.
• The cost-effectiveness results for 2022 analysis differs from 2019 mainly in $TDV savings, but also differs
slightly in energy consumption which translates in minor difference in on-bill energy savings. The Reach Code
Team has not reported the software outputs for 2022 EDR margins as the 2022 Title 24 Part 6 code is still
being developed.

4.1 All-Electric Prescriptive Minimum Results
Table 7 shows results of the ADU all-electric prescriptive minimum compared to a mixed-fuel baseline using 2019 TDV, with heat pump water heater location as
per Residential ACM manual (reference Table 6). With federal-minimum efficiencies for mechanical equipment, the all-electric prescriptive pathway is not cost
effective in any climate zone using IOU rates with 2019 TDV. However, with relatively lower electric prices and higher gas prices of POUs, the package is on-bill
cost effective in some climate zones.

Table 9 shows results of the all-electric prescriptive minimum using 2019 TDV with 1) heat pump water heater location is outside in exterior closet in all climate
zones except Climate Zones 14, 15, and 16, 2) energy efficiency measures, and 3) additional solar PV capacity. The all-electric detached ADU is cost effective
using either the on-bill or TDV approach in several climate zones. Also, similar to the package above, it is always on-bill cost effective using POU rates.

Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Detached Accessory Dwelling Units 15 Summary
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-03-12
5 Summary
The Reach Codes Team developed packages of energy efficiency measures as well as packages combining energy
efficiency with solar PV generation, simulated them in building modeling software, and gathered costs to determine the
cost-effectiveness of multiple scenarios. The Reach Codes Team coordinated assumptions with multiple utilities, cities,
and building community experts to develop a set of assumptions considered reasonable in the current market.
Changing assumptions, such as the period of analysis, measure selection, cost assumptions, energy escalation rates,
or utility tariffs are likely to change results.
Table 11 summarizes results for each prototype and depicts the compliance margins achieved for each climate zone
and package. Because local reach codes must both exceed the Energy Commission performance budget (i.e., have a
positive compliance margin) and be cost-effective, the Reach Code Team highlighted cells meeting these two
requirements to help clarify the upper boundary for potential reach code policies:
• Cells highlighted in green depict a positive compliance margin and cost-effective results using both On-Bill and
TDV approaches.
• Cells highlighted in yellow depict a positive compliance and cost-effective results using either the On-Bill or
TDV approach.
• Cells not highlighted either depict a negative compliance margin or a package that was not cost effective
using either the On-Bill or TDV approach.
The Reach Code Team found that all-electric detached ADUs can have positive compliance margins and are cost
effective in all climate zones through either the utility bill or TDV metrics when compared to a mixed fuel baseline. This
is true for either prescriptive minimum or efficiency + PV packages. To promote decarbonization, local jurisdictions may
choose to include new construction detached ADUs in all-electric requirements.

7.2 Mixed Fuel Baseline Energy Figures
Table 12 show the annual electricity and natural gas consumption and on-bill cost, total EDR margin, and GHG
emissions for each prototype under the mixed-fuel design baseline. The non-zero EDR margins are largely a result of
compliance software complexities, and they are not expected to significantly impact the proposed case results or
nature of recommendations. The annual kWh usage is 0 since code requires that PV offset 100 percent of kWh usage.

7.3 All-Electric Energy Efficiency Only Results
Table 13 and Table 14 show the cost-effectiveness results for the all-electric energy efficiency package without PV
compared to the mixed-fuel baseline without PV, in scenarios where PV cannot be installed. Without PV, the efficiency
packages selected are cost effective under 2022 TDV in most Climate Zones. It is likely that a different set of efficiency
measures can improve cost effectiveness, given that the all-electric prescriptive minimum is TDV cost-effective
(reference Table 8), though optimization of efficiency measure packages have not been examined in this study.
Note that the 2022 EDR margins have been removed since the 2022 Title 24 Part 6 code has not yet completed
rulemaking at the time of the draft, but preliminary results indicate that all EDR margins will be positive.

7.4.8 Fuel Escalation Rates
Escalation of natural gas rates between 2020 and 2022 is based on the currently filed General Rate Cases for PG&E,
SoCalGas, and SDG&E. From 2023 through 2025, gas rates are assumed to escalate at 4 percent per year above
inflation, which reflects historical rate increases between 2013 and 2018. Escalation of electricity rates from 2020
through 2025 is assumed to be 2 percent per year above inflation, based on electric utility estimates. After 2025,
escalation rates for both natural gas and electric rates are assumed to drop to a more conservative 1 percent
escalation per year above inflation for long-term rate trajectories beginning in 2026 through 2050.
Table 15 below demonstrate the escalation rates used for residential (detached ADU) buildings.

1 Introduction
The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) (California Energy Commission,
2018b) is maintained and updated every three years by two state agencies, the California Energy Commission
(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.
This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state requirements,
the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, effective January 1, 2020, for new mid-rise (four- to seven-story)
multifamily residential construction. The analysis includes evaluation of both mixed-fuel and all-electric
residential construction, documenting that the performance requirements can be met by either type of building
design. Compliance package options and cost-effectiveness analysis in all 16 California climate zones (CZs) are
presented (see Appendix A – California Climate Zone Map for a graphical depiction of Climate Zone locations).
2 Methodology and Assumptions
This analysis uses two different metrics to assess cost-effectiveness. Both methodologies require estimating and
quantifying the incremental costs and energy savings associated with energy efficiency measures. The main
difference between the methodologies is the manner in which they value energy and thus the cost savings of
reduced or avoided energy use:
• Utility Bill Impacts (On-Bill): Customer-based Lifecycle Cost (LCC) approach that values energy based
upon estimated site energy usage and customer on-bill savings using electricity and natural gas utility
rate schedules over a 30-year duration accounting for discount rate and energy cost inflation.
• Time Dependent Valuation (TDV): Energy Commission LCC methodology, which is intended to capture
the “societal value or cost” of energy use including long-term projected costs, such as the cost of
providing energy during peak periods of demand and other societal costs, such as projected costs for
carbon emissions, as well as grid transmission and distribution impacts. This metric values energy use
differently depending on the fuel source (gas, electricity, and propane), time of day, and season.
Electricity used (or saved) during peak periods has a much higher value than electricity used (or saved)
during off-peak periods (Horii et al., 2014). This is the methodology used by the Energy Commission in
evaluating cost-effectiveness for efficiency measures in Title 24, Part 6.
2.1 Building Prototypes
The Energy Commission defines building prototypes which it uses to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of proposed
changes to Title 24 requirements. The CEC recently developed new prototype designs for multifamily buildings
to more closely reflect typical designs for new multifamily buildings across the state. The new prototypes
include two low-rise residential designs, a mid-rise, and a high-rise design. At the time that this report was
written, there was one mid-rise multifamily prototype, which is used in this analysis in development of the
above-code packages (TRC, 2019). The midrise prototype is a 6-story building with one below-grade parking
level, ground floor commercial space, and four stories of residential space. Table 1 describes the basic
characteristics of the mid-rise prototype and Figure 1 shows a depiction of the building.

The methodology used in the analyses for the prototypical building type begins with a design that meets the
minimum 2019 Title 24 prescriptive requirements (zero compliance margin). Table 140.3-B and 140.3-C in the
2019 Title 24 (California Energy Commission, 2018a) lists the prescriptive measures that determine the baseline
design in each climate zone for the nonresidential and high-rise residential spaces, respectively. Other features
are consistent with the Standard Design in the Nonresidential ACM Reference Manual (California Energy
Commission, 2019a) with one exception. The apartments use split system heat pumps instead of a split furnace

and air conditioner that is prescribed in Table 2 of the Nonresidential ACM Reference Manual. This modeling
choice was made to better reflect current market data, which shows heat pumps to be the most common
system type and a very low prevalence of gas furnaces for multifamily buildings four stories and greater. This is
based on a report completed by TRC (TRC, 2019) and validated by analysis of CA HERS Registry Data by SCE that
showed 47% of low-rise multifamily new construction in the 2013 and 2016 code cycles had electric space
heating. The analysis also assumed electric cooking in the apartment units to reflect current market data.
Laundry was not addressed in this study. The building prototype assumes central laundry facilities and no
laundry in the units.
2.2 Measure Analysis
EnergyPro 8.1, which uses the California Building Energy Code Compliance simulation tool, CBECC-Com 2019.1.2,
as the simulation engine, was used to evaluate energy impacts using the 2019 Title 24 prescriptive standards as
the benchmark, and the 2019 TDV values. CBECC-Com was used for this analysis to evaluate the mid-rise
building for code compliance under the 2019 non-residential standards. TDV is the energy metric used by the
Energy Commission since the 2005 Title 24 energy code to evaluate compliance with the Title 24 Standards.
Using the 2019 baseline as the starting point, prospective energy efficiency measures were identified and
modeled to determine the projected site energy (Therm and kWh) and compliance impacts. Annual utility costs
were calculated using hourly data output from CBECC-Com, and electricity and natural gas tariffs for each of the
investor owned utilities (IOUs).
This analysis focused on the residential apartments only. A prior study and report demonstrated the cost-
effectiveness of above code packages for nonresidential buildings (Statewide Reach Code Team, 2019a). The
Statewide Reach Code Team selected measures for evaluation based on the residential and nonresidential 2019
reach code analysis ((Statewide Reach Code Team, 2019a), (Statewide Reach Code Team, 2019b)) as well as
experience with and outreach to architects, builders, and engineers along with general knowledge of the relative
acceptance of many measures. Efficiency measure packages found to be cost-effective in the nonresidential
building reach code analysis were applied to the nonresidential spaces for evaluating performance relative to
compliance, but the incremental costs and energy impacts of these measures on the nonresidential spaces were
not included in this analysis. Refer to the nonresidential reach code study for more details (Statewide Reach
Code Team, 2019a).
2.2.1 Federal Preemption
The Department of Energy (DOE) sets minimum efficiency standards for equipment and appliances that are
federally regulated under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA), including heating, cooling,
and water heating equipment. Since state and local governments are prohibited from adopting policies that
mandate 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 equipment. While this study is limited
by federal preemption, in practice builders may use any package of compliant measures to achieve the
performance goals, including high efficiency appliances. Often, these measures are the simplest and most
affordable measures to increase energy performance.
2.2.2 Energy Efficiency Measures
Following are descriptions of each of the efficiency measures evaluated for the residential spaces under this
analysis. Because not all of the measures described below were found to be cost-effective, and cost-
effectiveness varied by climate zone, not all measures are included in all packages and some of the measures
listed are not included in any final package.
Improved Fenestration – Lower U-factor: Reduce window U-factor to 0.25 Btu/hr-ft2-°F. The prescriptive
maximum U-factor is 0.36 in all climates. This measure is applied to all windows on floors two through five.
2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
4 2020-06-22
Improved Fenestration – Lower SHGC: Reduce window solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) to 0.22. The
prescriptive maximum SHGC is 0.25 for fixed windows in all climates. The Statewide Reach Code Team evaluated
increased SHGC in heating dominated climates (Climate Zone 1, 3, 5, and 16) but results were better with a
lower SHGC. This measure is applied to all windows on floors two through five.
Exterior Wall Insulation: Add one inch of R-4 exterior continuous insulation. To meet the prescriptive wall
requirements, it’s assumed that exterior wall insulation is used in the basecase, therefore this measure adds
additional R-value to existing exterior insulation. This measure is applied to all walls on floors two through five.
HERS Verification of Hot Water Pipe Insulation: The California Plumbing Code (CPC) requires pipe insulation on
all hot water lines. This measure provides credit for HERS Rater verification of pipe insulation requirements
according to the procedures outlined in the 2019 Reference Appendices RA3.6.3. (California Energy Commission,
2018b).
Low Pressure Drop Ducts: Upgrade the duct distribution system to reduce external static pressure and meet a
maximum fan efficacy of 0.25 watts per cfm operating at full speed. This may involve upsizing ductwork,
reducing the total effective length of ducts, and/or selecting low pressure drop components, such as filters. This
measure is applied to the ducted split heat pumps serving the apartments.
Solar Thermal: Prescriptively, central water heating systems require a solar thermal system with a 20% solar
fraction in Climates Zones 1 through 9 and 35% solar fraction in Climate Zones 10 through 16. This measure
upgrades the prescriptive solar thermal system to meet a 50% solar fraction in all climates, assuming there is
available roof space for the additional collectors.
Drain Water Heat Recovery: Add drain water heat recovery with a 50% effectiveness to serve all the
apartments. The assumption is for an unequal flow design where the output of the heat exchanger feeds only
the cold water inlets to the apartment showers, not the water heater cold water makeup.
Efficiency measures were applied to the nonresidential spaces based on the 2019 Nonresidential Reach Code
Cost-Effectiveness Study (Statewide Reach Code Team, 2019a).
2.2.3 All Electric Measures
This analysis assumes that the basecase prototype model uses individual heat pumps for space heating and all
electric appliances in the apartments. Therefore, the domestic hot water system is the only equipment serving
the apartment spaces to electrify in the all-electric design . The Statewide Reach Code Team evaluated two
configurations for electric heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) described below.
Clustered Heat Pump Water Heater: This clustered design uses residential integrated storage HPWHs to serve
more than one apartment; 4 to 5 bedrooms on average for a total of 32 HPWHs in the 88-unit building. The
water heaters are located in interior closets throughout the building and designed for short plumbing runs
without using a hot water recirculation loop. A minimum efficiency 2.0 UEF HPWH was used for this analysis (to
avoid federal preemption). This approach has been selectively used in multifamily projects because of its
reliance on lower cost small capacity HPWH products. Since it uses residential equipment with each HPWH
serving fewer than 8 apartments the CBECC-Com compliance software had the capability to evaluate this design
strategy, even before central HPWH recirculation options were incorporated into the software. The clustered
strategy is not a prescriptive option but is allowed in the performance path if the water heater serves no more
than 8 units and has no recirculation control. The standard design assumes solar thermal, so the proposed
design is penalized in compliance for no solar thermal and made up with other efficiency measures.
2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
5 2020-06-22
Prescriptive Central Heat Pump Water Heater: Per Section 150.1(c)8C of the 2019 Standards, the Energy
Commission made an executive determination outlining requirements of a prescriptive approach for central
heat pump water heating systems in December 2019 (California Energy Commission, 2019b). Key aspects of the
prescriptive approach are described below:
• The system must be configured with a design similar to what is presented in the schematic in Figure 2 of
the executive determination document.
• HPWH must be single-pass split system with the compressor located outdoors and be able to operate
down to -20°F. In CBECC-Com 2019.1.2, the current version at the time of writing this report, the
software only has the capability of modeling Sanden HPWHs.
• The system must include either a solar thermal water heating system that meets the current prescriptive
requirements or 0.1 kWDC of photovoltaic system capacity per apartment/dwelling unit.
For this configuration the Statewide Reach Code Team evaluated costs for a central HPWH system using Sanden
compressors that met these prescriptive requirements. Based on the system sizing requirements, 15 Sanden
units and 1,200 gallons of primary storage capacity are required for the 88-unit building. At the time that cost-
effectiveness was initially compared for the two HPWH configurations, the latest CBECC-Com software with the
ability to model central HPWH systems was not yet available. To estimate the energy use for the central
configuration, the water heating energy use for the clustered configuration was used. It is expected that the
energy use of the central system will be higher than the clustered approach primarily as a result of recirculation
pump energy and losses.
Figure 2: Prescriptive central heat pump water heater system schematic.
All-electric measures were applied to the nonresidential spaces based on the 2019 Nonresidential Reach Code
Cost-Effectiveness Study (Statewide Reach Code Team, 2019a).
2.2.4 Renewable Energy
Solar Photovoltaic (PV): There is no existing requirement for PV in the 2019 Title 24 nonresidential code for
high-rise residential buildings (four or more stories). The PV sizing methodology was developed to offset a
portion of annual residential electricity use and avoid oversizing which would violate net energy metering (NEM)
2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
6 2020-06-22
rules. In all cases, PV is evaluated using the PV simulations within CBECC-Com using a Standard module type, 180
degree azimuth, and 22 degree .tilt. The analysis evaluated PV system capacities equal to 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 1
kWDC per apartment. The PV system offsets approximately XX4%, XX8%, XX13%, and 42%, of the apartment
electricity usage, respectively. Assuming 15 Watts per square foot for a typical commercial PV system, 1 kWDC
per apartment, or 88 kWDC total, would take up about 25% of the total roof area.
2.3 Package Development
Four packages were evaluated for each climate zone, as described below.
1) Efficiency – Mixed-fuel: This package applies efficiency measures that don’t trigger federal preemption
including envelope, water heating distribution, and duct distribution efficiency measures.
2) Efficiency – All Electric: This package applies efficiency measures that don’t trigger federal preemption
in addition to converting any natural gas appliances to electric appliances. For the residential spaces,
only water heating is converted from natural gas to electric.
3) Efficiency & PV – Mixed-fuel: Beginning with the Efficiency Package , PV was added to offset a portion
of the apartment estimated electricity use.
4) Efficiency & PV – All Electric: Beginning with the Efficiency Package, PV was added to offset a portion of
the apartment estimated electricity use.
2.4 Incremental Costs
2.4.1 Energy Efficiency Measure Costs
Table 22 summarizes the incremental cost assumptions for measures evaluated in this study relative to the
residential parts of the building. Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacement, and
maintenance costs of the proposed measures relative to the base case. Replacement costs are applied to PV
inverters and battery systems over the 30-year evaluation period. There is no assumed maintenance on the
envelope, HVAC, or DHW measures. Costs were estimated to reflect costs to the building owner. When costs
were obtained from a source that did not already include builder overhead and profit, a markup of 10% was
added. All costs are provided as present value in 2020 (2020 PV$). Costs due to variations in furnace, air
conditioner, and heat pump capacity by climate zone were not accounted for in the analysis.

The Statewide Reach Code Team reached out to stakeholders to collect project cost information for central gas
boilers and both clustered and central HPWH designs. Project data sources included Association for Energy
Affordability (AEA), Redwood Energy, Mithun, Ecotope, and the All-Electric Multifamily Compliance Pathway

Incremental Cost CZ 10-16 (NPV) ($85,772) $63,703
Typical costs for the water heating systems are based on the following assumptions:
Central Gas Boiler: Based on the average of total estimated project costs from contractors for four multi-family
projects ranging from 32 to 340 apartments and cost estimates for mid-rise and high-rise buildings from the All-
Electric Multifamily Compliance Pathway 2022 Draft CASE Report (Statewide CASE Team, 2020). The cost per
dwelling unit ranged from $547 to $2,089 and the average cost applied in this analysis was $1,122 per dwelling
unit. Costs include installation of gas piping from the building meter to the water heater. Water heater lifetime
is assumed to be 15 years and the net present value replacement cost at year 15 is $63,373.
Clustered HPWH: Based on costs from one project with RHEEM HPWHs used in a clustered design. Costs include
water heater interior closet, electrical outlets, and increased breaker size and sub feed. Water heater based on
2.0 UEF 80-gallon appliance with 32 total HPWHs serving the building (1 per 4 to 5 bedrooms). Water heater
lifetime is assumed to be 15 years and the net present value replacement cost at year 15 is $81,374. This design
assumes 8 water heater closets per floor, at approximately 15 square feet per closet. While this has an impact
on leasable floor area, the design impacts have been found to be minimal when addressed early in design.
Central HPWH: Based on average total installed project costs from four multi-family projects with Sanden
HPWHs ranging from 4 to 16 Sanden units per project. The cost per Sanden HPWH ranged from $13,094 to
$15,766 and the average cost applied in this analysis was $14,224 per HPWH. Based on the prescriptive system
sizing requirements, 15 Sanden units are required for the 88-unit building, resulting in a total first cost of
$213,364. Water heater lifetime is assumed to be 15 years. Because Sanden HPWHS are an emerging technology
in the United States, it is expected that over time their costs will decrease and for replacement at year 15 the
costs are assumed to have decreased by 15%.

Solar Thermal: Based on system costs provided in the All-Electric Multifamily Compliance Pathway 2022 Draft
CASE Report (Statewide CASE Team, 2020). First costs reflect the material, labor, and markup costs presented in
the Draft CASE Report for the mid-rise prototype. Replacement and maintenance costs assume replacement of
the solar thermal tank at year 15 at $6,110 and glycol replacement of $1,300 each time at years 9, 18, and 27.
The cost of the remaining useful life of the glycol at year 30 is deducted from the final cost. The Draft CASE
Report included costs for replacing the solar collectors at year 20. Collectors can have longer lifetimes up to 30
years if well maintained, therefore this analysis does not assume any replacement of the collectors over the 30
year analysis period.

Total PV Cost $110,096 $131,817
2.4.3 Natural Gas Infrastructure Costs
This analysis assumes that in an all-electric new construction project, natural gas would not be supplied to the
building. Eliminating natural gas to the building would save costs associated with connecting a service line from
the street main to the building, piping distribution within the building, and monthly meter connection charges
from the utility. Incremental costs for natural gas infrastructure in the mixed-fuel building are presented in Table
5. Cost data for the plan review and service extension was estimated on a per building basis and then
apportioned to the residential and nonresidential portions of the buildings based on annual gas consumption.
For the basecase prototype building 49% to 93% of estimated building annual gas use is attributed to the
residential water heating system across all climate zones. A statewide average of 80% was calculated and
applied to the costs in Table 5 based on housing starts provided by the California Energy Commission for the
2019 Title 24 code development process. The meter costs were based on the service provided to the residential
and nonresidential portion of the building separately. Following the table are descriptions of assumptions for
each of the cost components. Costs for gas piping from the meter to the gas boilers are included in the central
gas boiler costs above. Gas piping distribution costs were typically included in total project costs and could not
be broken out in all cases.

Total First Cost $14,116 $4,950 $9,166
1Service extension costs include 50% reduction assuming portion of the costs are passed on to gas customers.
Natural Gas Plan Review: Total costs are based on TRC’s 2019 reach code analysis for Palo Alto (TRC, 2019) and
then split between the residential and nonresidential spaces in the building proportionately according to annual
gas consumption with 80% of the annual load is attributed to residential units on a statewide basis.
Service Extension: Service extension costs to the building were taken from PG&E memo dated December 5,
2019, to Energy Commission staff, include costs for trenching, and assume non-residential new construction
within a developed area (see Appendix C – PG&E Gas Infrastructure Cost Memo, PG&E, 2019). The total cost of
2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
10 2020-06-22
$9,200 from the memo is reduced by 50% to account for the portion of the costs paid for by all customers due to
application of Utility Gas Main Extensions rules1. The resultant cost is apportioned between the residential and
nonresidential spaces in the building based on annual gas consumption of residential and nonresidential uses,
with 80% of the annual load natural gas use attributed to residential units on a statewide basis.
Meter: Cost per meter provided by PG&E for commercial meters. Assume one meter for nonresidential boilers
serving space heating and service water heating, and another for residential boilers serving domestic hot water.
2.5 Cost-effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness was evaluated for all 16 California climate zones and is presented based on both TDV energy,
using the Energy Commission’s LCC methodology, and an On-Bill approach using residential customer utility
rates. Both methodologies require estimating and quantifying the value of the energy impact associated with
energy efficiency measures over the life of the measures (30 years) as compared to the prescriptive Title 24
requirements.
Cost-effectiveness is presented using both lifecycle net present value (NPV) savings and benefit-to-cost (B/C)
ratio metrics, which represent the cost-effectiveness of a measure over a 30-year lifetime taking into account
discounting of future savings and costs.
• Net Present Value (NPV) Savings: NPV benefits minus NPV costs is reported as a cost effectiveness
metric. If the net savings of a measure or package is positive, it is considered cost effective. Negative
savings represent net costs. A measure that has negative energy cost benefits (energy cost increase) can
still be cost effective if the costs to implement the measure are more negative (i.e., material and
maintenance cost savings).
• Benefit-to-Cost (B/C) Ratio: Ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all costs
over 30 years (NPV benefits divided by NPV costs). The criteria for cost effectiveness is a B/C greater
than 1.0. 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 1.
Equation 1
𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑟−𝑟𝑙−𝐵𝑙𝑟𝑟 𝑅𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑙=𝑁𝑃𝑉 𝑙𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑟
𝑁𝑃𝑉 𝑙𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑟
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 TDV savings, and the cost by incremental first cost and replacement
costs. However, some packages result in initial construction cost savings (negative incremental cost), 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 cost-effective
immediately (i.e. upfront construction cost savings and lifetime energy cost savings), B/C ratio cost-effectiveness
is represented by “>1”. Because of these situations, NPV savings are also reported, which, in these cases, are
positive values.

2.5.1 On-Bill Customer Lifecycle Cost
Residential utility rates were used to calculate utility costs for all cases and determine On-Bill customer cost-
effectiveness for the proposed packages. Utility costs of the nonresidential spaces were not evaluated in this
study, only apartment and water heating energy use. The Statewide Reach Code Team obtained the
recommended utility rates from each IOU based on the assumption that the reach codes go into effect in 2020.
Annual utility costs were calculated using hourly electricity and gas output from CBECC-Com, and applying the
utility tariffs summarized in Table 6. Appendix B – Utility Tariff Details includes details on the utility rate
schedules used for this study. The applicable residential time-of-use (TOU) rate was applied to all cases. For
cases with PV generation, the approved NEM2 tariffs were applied along with minimum daily use billing and
mandatory non-bypassable charges. For the PV cases annual electric production was always less than annual
electricity consumption; and therefore, no credits for surplus generation were necessary. Future changes to the
NEM tariffs are likely; however, there is a lot of uncertainty about what those changes will be and if they will
become effective during the 2019 Title 24 code cycle (2020-2022).
Based on guidance from the IOUs, the residential electric TOU tariffs that apply to individually metered
residential apartments were also used to calculate electricity costs for the central water heating systems. Where
baseline allowances are included in the tariffs (SCE TOU-D and SDG&E TOU-DR1) the allowances were applied on
a per unit basis for all-electric service.
Based on guidance from the IOUs, master metered multifamily service gas tariffs were used to calculate gas
costs for the central water heating systems. The baseline quantities were applied on a per unit basis, as is
defined in the schedules, and when available water heating only baseline values were used.
Utility rates were applied to each climate zone based on the predominant IOU serving the population of each
zone according to Table 6. Climate Zones 10 and 14 are evaluated with both SCE/SoCalGas and SDG&E tariffs
since each utility has customers within these climate zones. Climate Zone 5 is evaluated under both PG&E and
SoCalGas natural gas rates. Two municipal utility rates were also evaluated, Sacramento Municipal Utility District
(SMUD) in Climate Zone 12 and City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) in Climate Zone 4.

1 These rates are allowed assuming no gas is used in the apartments.
Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time, using assumptions from research conducted by Energy and
Environmental Economics (E3) in the 2019 study Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy &
Environmental Economics, 2019). Escalation of natural gas rates between 2019 and 2022 is based on the
currently filed General Rate Cases (GRCs) for PG&E, SoCalGas and SDG&E. From 2023 through 2025, gas rates
are assumed to escalate at 4% per year above inflation, which reflects historical rate increases between 2013
and 2018. Escalation of electricity rates from 2019 through 2025 is assumed to be 2% per year above inflation,
based on electric utility estimates. After 2025, escalation rates for both natural gas and electric rates are
assumed to drop to a more conservative 1% escalation per year above inflation for long-term rate trajectories
beginning in 2026 through 2050. See Appendix B – Utility Tariff Details for additional details.
2.5.2 TDV Lifecycle Cost
Cost-effectiveness was also assessed using the Energy Commission’s TDV LCC methodology. TDV is a normalized
monetary format developed and used by the Energy Commission for comparing electricity and natural gas
savings, and it considers the cost of electricity and natural gas consumed during different times of the day and
year. The 2019 TDV values are based on long term discounted costs of 30 years for all residential measures. The
CBECC-Com simulation software results are expressed in terms of TDV kBtus. The present value of the energy
cost savings in dollars is calculated by multiplying the TDV kBtu savings by a net present value (NPV) factor, also
developed by the Energy Commission. The 30-year NPV factor is $0.154/TDV kBtu for nonresidential projects
under 2019 Title 24.
Like the customer B/C ratio, a TDV B/C ratio value of one indicates the savings over the life of the measure are
equivalent to the incremental cost of that measure. A value greater than one represents a positive return on
investment. The ratio is calculated according to Equation 3.
Equation 3
𝑇𝐵𝑉 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑟−𝑟𝑙−𝐵𝑙𝑟𝑟 𝑅𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑙=𝑇𝐵𝑉 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑦 𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑟 ∗ 𝑁𝑃𝑉 𝑒𝑎𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑟

2.6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Equivalent CO2 emission savings were calculated based on estimates from Zero Code reports available in CBECC-
Com simulation software.2 Electricity emissions vary by region and by hour of the year, accounting for time
dependent energy use and carbon emissions based on source emissions, including renewable portfolio standard

projections. 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. For natural gas a fixed factor of 0.005307 metric tons/therm is
used. To compare the mixed fuel and all-electric cases side-by-side, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are
presented as CO2-equivalent emissions per dwelling unit.
3 Results
The primary objective of the evaluation is to identify cost-effective, non-preempted performance targets for
mid-rise multifamily buildings, under both mixed-fuel and all-electric cases, to support the design of local
ordinances requiring new mid-rise residential buildings to exceed the minimum state requirements. The
packages presented are representative examples of designs and measures that can be used to meet the
requirements. In practice, a builder can use any combination of non-preempted or preempted compliant
measures to meet the requirements.
This analysis evaluated a package of efficiency measures applied to a mixed-fuel design and a similar package for
an all-electric design. Each design was evaluated using the predominant utility rates in all 16 California climate
zones. Solar PV was also added to the efficiency packages and a sensitivity analysis was conducted at various PV
system capacities to optimize cost-effectiveness.
Although some of the efficiency measures evaluated were not cost-effective and were eliminated, the following
measures are included in at least one package:
• Improved fenestration
• Wall insulation
• Low pressure-drop distribution system
• HERS verified pipe insulation
The following measures were evaluated but were found to not be cost-effective and were not included in any of
the packages.
• Solar thermal system with higher solar fraction than prescriptive requirements
• Drain water heat recovery
Cost-effectiveness results for the all-electric case are based upon the clustered HPWH approach only. Lower first
costs with the clustered approach resulted in better cost-effectiveness than the central HPWH design.
3.1 Mid-Rise Multifamily Results
Table 7 and Table 9 present results for the mixed-fuel and all-electric packages, respectively. Each table shows
cost-effectiveness results for Efficiency Only packages and Efficiency + PV packages (with a 17.6 kWDC PV system
sized based on 0.2 kWDC per apartment). Both mixed-fuel and all-electric results are relative to the mixed-fuel
2019 Title 24 prescriptive baseline. B/C ratios for all packages are presented according to both the On-Bill and
TDV methodologies for the mixed-fuel and the all-electric cases, respectively. Detailed results are presented in
Appendix D – Detailed Results Mixed-Fuel and Appendix E – Detailed Results All-Electric.
Efficiency Only:
Compliance margins for the Mixed-Fuel Efficiency Only cases range from 5% to 8%, which meets the CALGreen
Tier 1 energy performance requirement for high-rise residential buildings. Mixed-Fuel Efficiency Only cases are
cost-effective based on TDV in all climate zones except for 1 and 16. The cases are cost-effective from an On-Bill
perspective in all climate zones except 1.
The All-Electric Efficiency Only package does not meet minimum code requirements in Climate Zones 1 and 16.
Compliance margins for all other climate zones range from 1% to 5%. All-Electric Efficiency Only cases are cost-
2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
14 2020-06-22
effective in all climate zones based on TDV. Cost-effectiveness from an On-Bill perspective is favorable in all
climate zones except 1, 16, and 5 in SCG territory.
Efficiency + PV:
Several PV system size options were evaluated for the Efficiency + PV packages. Of the PV system sizes
evaluated, 0.2 kWDC per apartment represents the smallest system that resulted in B/C ratios greater than one
based on both metrics in all climate zones for the mixed-fuel scenario. Adding a 0.1 kWDC per apartment in the
all-electric cases, resulted in B/C ratios greater than one in all climate zones.
Table 11 and Table 12 describe the efficiency measures included in the mixed-fuel and all-electric packages,
respectively.

2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study

4 Conclusions & Summary
This report evaluated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of “above code” performance specifications for newly
constructed mid-rise multifamily buildings. The analysis included application of efficiency measures, electric
appliances, and PV in all 16 California climate zones, and found cost-effective packages across the state. For the
building designs and climate zones where cost-effective packages were identified, the results of this analysis can
be used by local jurisdictions to support the adoption of reach codes. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated
according to two metrics: On-Bill customer lifecycle benefit-to-cost ratio and TDV lifecycle benefit-to-cost ratio.
For mixed-fuel buildings, this analysis demonstrates that there are cost-effective Efficiency Only packages that
achieve a minimum 5% compliance margin in most climate zones. The exception is Climate Zone 1 where the
package was not cost-effective based on either the TDV or the On-Bill methodology. In all other cases the
package is cost-effective for at least one of the metrics.
When 0.1 kWDC per apartment is included, all climate zones are cost-effective based on at least one of the
metrics. The addition of 0.1 kWDC per apartment, or 8.8 kWDC total for the building, results in an incremental cost
for the PV system of $27,855. When 0.2 kWDC per apartment is included, all climate zones are cost-effective
based on both metrics. The addition of 0.2 kWDC per apartment, or 17.6 kWDC for the building, results in an
incremental cost for the PV system of $55,711.
This study evaluated electrification of residential loads in new mid-rise multifamily buildings. Based on typical
construction across California, the basecase condition incorporated all electric appliances within the apartment
spaces. As a result, only central water heating was converted from natural gas to electric as part of this analysis.
For all-electric buildings, this analysis demonstrates that there are cost-effective All-Electric Efficiency Only
packages that meet minimum Title 24 code compliance in all climate zones except 1 and 16. The package is cost-
effective based on the TDV methodology in all climate zones. It is cost-effective based on the On-Bill
methodology in Climate Zones 2 through 15, except for Climate Zones 5 in SCG territory.
When 0.1 kWDC per apartment is included, all climate zones are cost-effective based on both metrics. The
addition of 0.1 kWDC per apartment, or 8.8 kWDC for the building, results in an incremental cost for the PV system
of $27,855.
Additional considerations
• This study found that electrification of central domestic hot water loads, in combination with efficiency
measures, can result in a benefit to the consumer through lower utility bills under certain electricity and
gas tariff scenarios (Climate Zones 6, 8, 9, 15, 4 in CPAU territory, and 12 in SMUD territory territory).
The all-electric results demonstrate a trend with On-Bill cost-effectiveness across the different electric
utilities. Net Present Value in SCE and SDG&E territories, as well as SMUD and CPAU territories, are
typically higher than the cases in PG&E territory. This indicates that rate design can play an important
role in encouraging or discouraging electrification.
• This study did not evaluate federally preempted high efficiency appliances. Specifying high efficiency
equipment is a viable approach to meeting Title 24 code compliance and local ordinance requirements
and is commonly used by project teams. Other studies have found that efficiency packages and
electrification packages that employ high efficiency equipment can be quite cost-effective ((Statewide
Reach Code Team, 2019b), (Energy & Environmental Economics. 2019)).
• If PV capacity is added to both the mixed-fuel and all-electric efficiency packages, all cases are cost-
effective based on at least one of the two evaluated metrics. In some cases, cost-effectiveness improves,
and in other cases it decreases relative to the case with efficiency and/or electrification measures only.
The cost-effectiveness of adding PV up to 1 kW per apartment, as an independent measure, results in
On-Bill benefit-to-cost ratios between 2.3 and 3.1 for PGE territory, 2.1 to 2.3 for SCE territory, and 3.2
to 3.5 for SDG&E territory. The TDV B/C ratio for PV alone is approximately 2.0 for most climate zones
2019 Mid-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
21 2020-06-22
for all service territories. Adding PV in addition to the efficiency packages improves cost-effectiveness
where the B/C ratios for the efficiency measures alone are lower than the B/C ratios for PV alone, and
vice versa where they are higher. Annual basecase electricity costs and annual utility savings from PV are
lower in SCE territory than in PG&E and SDG&E territories. This is due to lower off-peak cost and a
bigger difference in peak versus off-peak rate for the TOU-D SCE electricity rate tariff. Most PV
production occurs during off-peak times (4 pm to 9 pm peak period).
Table 13 summarizes compliance margin and cost-effectiveness results for the mixed-fuel and all-electric cases.
Compliance margin is reported in the cells and cost-effectiveness is indicated by the color of the cell according
to the following:
• Cells highlighted in green depict a positive compliance margin and cost-effective results using both On-
Bill and TDV approaches.
• Cells highlighted in yellow depict a positive compliance margin and cost-effective results using either the
On-Bill or TDV approach but not both.
• Cells not highlighted either depict a negative compliance margin (red text) or a package that was not
cost-effective using either the On-Bill or TDV approach.

Escalation Assumptions
The average annual escalation rates in the following table were used in this study and are from E3’s 2019 study
Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy & Environmental Economics, 2019). These rates are
applied to the 2019 rate schedules over a 30-year period beginning in 2020. SDG&E was not covered in the E3
study. The Statewide Reach Code Team reviewed SDG&E’s GRC filing and applied the same approach that E3
applied for PG&E and SoCalGas to arrive at average escalation rates between 2020 and 2022. The statewide
electricity escalation rates were also applied to the analysis for SMUD and CPAU. PG&E gas escalation rates were
applied to CPAU as the best available estimate since CPAU uses PG&E gas infrastructure.

1 Introduction
The California Codes and Standards 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
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 cost-effectiveness study was sponsored by Pacific
Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Local jurisdictions that are considering adopting ordinances may contact the
program for support through its website, LocalEnergyCodes.com.
The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, or Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) (California Energy
Commission, 2018a) is maintained and updated every three years by two state agencies: the California Energy
Commission (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 result in buildings consuming
less 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.
This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state requirements,
2019 Title 24, effective January 1, 2020. 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 new high-rise (eight stories and higher) multifamily residential construction. The
analysis evaluates both mixed-fuel and all-electric residential construction, documenting performance
requirements that can be met by either type of building design. Compliance package options and cost-
effectiveness analysis in all 16 California climate zones (CZs) are presented (see Appendix A – Map of California
Climate Zones for a graphical depiction of climate zone locations). This analysis complements the analysis
conducted for mid-rise multifamily residential construction in June 2020 (Statewide Reach Codes Team, 2020).

2 Methodology and Assumptions
This analysis uses two different metrics to assess cost effectiveness. Both methodologies require estimating and
quantifying the incremental costs and energy savings associated with energy efficiency measures. The main
difference between the methodologies is the way they value energy and thus the cost savings of reduced or
avoided energy use:
• Utility Bill Impacts (On-Bill): Customer-based Lifecycle Cost (LCC) approach that values energy based
upon estimated site energy usage and customer On-Bill savings using electricity and natural gas utility
rate schedules over a 30-year duration accounting for discount rate and energy cost inflation.
• Time Dependent Valuation (TDV): Energy Commission LCC methodology, which is intended to capture
the “societal value or cost” of energy use including long-term projected costs, such as the cost of
providing energy during peak periods of demand and other societal costs, such as projected costs for
carbon emissions, as well as grid transmission and distribution impacts. This metric values energy use
differently depending on the fuel source (natural gas, electricity, and propane), time of day, and season.
Electricity used (or saved) during peak periods has a much higher value than electricity used (or saved)
during off-peak periods (Horii et al., 2014). This is the methodology used by the Energy Commission in
evaluating cost effectiveness for efficiency measures in Title 24. Both 2019 and 2022 TDV multipliers are
evaluated and documented in this analysis.
The general approach applied in this analysis is to evaluate performance and determine cost effectiveness of
various packages of energy measures in high-rise multifamily dwelling units. The California Building Energy Code
Compliance – Commercial (CBECC-Com) 2019.1.3 and 2022 beta compliance simulation tools were used to
evaluate energy savings for all measures. 2022 weather files were used to evaluate site energy use and TDV cost
effectiveness along with the 2022 TDV.
2.1 Building Prototypes
The Energy Commission defines building prototypes which it uses to evaluate the cost effectiveness of proposed
changes to Title 24 requirements. The Energy Commission recently developed new prototype designs for
multifamily buildings to more closely reflect typical designs for new multifamily buildings across the state. The new
prototypes include two low-rise residential designs, a mid-rise, and a high-rise design. This analysis uses the new
high-rise multifamily prototype (TRC, 2019), which is a variation of the previous ten-story high-rise prototype used
in prior code cycles. The high-rise prototype is a ten-story building with two below-grade parking levels, ground
floor commercial space, and nine stories of residential space. Table 1 describes the basic characteristics of the
high-rise prototype and Figure 1 shows a depiction of the building.

The methodology used in the analyses for the prototypical building type begins with a design that meets the
minimum 2019 Title 24 prescriptive requirements (zero compliance margin). Table 140.3-B and 140.3-C in the
2019 Title 24 (California Energy Commission, 2018a) list the prescriptive measures that determine the baseline
design in each climate zone for the nonresidential and high-rise residential spaces, respectively. Other features
are consistent with the Standard Design in the Nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method (ACM) Reference
Manual (California Energy Commission, 2019a) with two exceptions:
1. The dwelling units use split system heat pumps instead of a split furnace and air conditioner that is
prescribed in Table 2 of the Nonresidential ACM Reference Manual. This modeling choice was made to
better reflect current market data, which shows heat pumps to be the most common system type and a
very low prevalence of gas furnaces for multifamily buildings four stories and greater (TRC, 2019). In
most climate zones the difference between a heat pump or gas furnace is nearly compliance neutral.
2. A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) is used for ventilation serving the dwelling units. This is based on
anecdotal information that this practice is more common than individual ventilation systems in high-rise
buildings. It also provides variability across the mid- and high-rise analysis, which is important so that this
analysis provides more realistic solutions for the high-rise multifamily building type. The selection of a
DOAS does not match the Standard Design, which applies individual balanced fans for ventilation at all
residential spaces, and results in a small compliance penalty.1
The analysis also assumed electric resistance cooking in the dwelling unit units to reflect the current market
based on anecdotal information. Laundry was not addressed in this study. The building prototype assumes central
laundry facilities and no laundry in the units.
2.2 Measure Analysis
EnergyPro software, using CBECC-Com as the simulation engine, was used to evaluate energy impacts and
code compliance applying the 2019 Title 24 prescriptive standards as the benchmark. TDV is the energy metric
used by Title 24 since 2005 to evaluate compliance. Although both the 2019 and 2022 compliance software were
used for evaluation, the 2019 software was used for reporting compliance margins and the 2022 software, with
the 2022 weather, was used for reporting site energy and utility bill impacts.
Using the 2019 baseline as the starting point, prospective energy efficiency measures were identified and
modeled to determine the projected site energy (therm and kWh) and compliance impacts. Annual utility costs
were calculated using hourly data output from CBECC-Com, and electricity and natural gas tariffs for each of the
IOUs.
The Statewide Reach Codes Team selected measures for evaluation based on prior residential and
nonresidential 2019 reach code analysis ((Statewide Reach Codes Team, 2019a), (Statewide Reach Codes
Team, 2019b), (Statewide Reach Codes Team, 2020)) as well as experience with and outreach to architects,
builders, and engineers and general knowledge of the relative acceptance of many measures. This analysis
focuses on the residential dwelling units only. A prior study and report demonstrated the cost effectiveness of
above code packages for nonresidential buildings (Statewide Reach Codes Team, 2019a).
2.2.1 Federal Preemption
The United States Department of Energy sets minimum efficiency standards for equipment and appliances that
are federally regulated under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1975, including heating, cooling,
and water heating equipment. Since state and local governments are prohibited from adopting policies that
mandate higher minimum efficiencies than the federal standards require (federal preemption), the focus of this
study is to identify and evaluate cost-effective packages that do not include high efficiency equipment. While this
1 The compliance penalty is not reflected in the results in this analysis since the baseline and proposed designs both include a
DOAS.
High-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study

study is limited by federal preemption, in practice builders may use any package of compliant measures to
achieve the performance goals, including high efficiency appliances. Often, these measures are the simplest and
most affordable measures to increase energy performance.
2.2.2 Energy Efficiency Measures
Following are descriptions of each of the efficiency measures evaluated for the residential spaces under this
analysis. Because not all of the measures described below were found to be cost-effective, and cost effectiveness
varied by climate zone, not all measures are included in all packages and some of the measures listed are not
included in any final package.
Improved Fenestration – Lower U-factor: Reduce window U-factor to 0.25 Btu/hour-ft2-°F. The prescriptive
maximum U-factor is 0.36 in all climates. This measure applies to all windows on floors two through ten.
Improved Fenestration – Lower SHGC: Reduce window solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) to 0.22. The
prescriptive maximum SHGC is 0.25 for fixed windows in all climates. The Statewide Reach Codes Team
evaluated increased SHGC in heating dominated climates (Climate Zones 1, 3, 5, and 16) but results were better
with a lower SHGC. This measure applies to all windows on floors two through ten.
Exterior Wall Insulation: Additional R-4 exterior continuous insulation on exterior walls. To meet the prescriptive
wall requirements, it is assumed that exterior wall insulation is used in the base case, therefore this measure adds
the additional R-value to existing exterior insulation. This measure applies to all walls on floors two through ten.
HERS Verification of Hot Water Pipe Insulation: The California Plumbing Code (CPC) requires pipe insulation
on all hot water lines. This measure provides credit for HERS Rater verification of pipe insulation requirements
according to the procedures outlined in the 2019 Reference Appendices RA3.6.3. (California Energy Commission,
2018b).
Low Pressure Drop Ducts: Upgrade the duct distribution system to reduce external static pressure and meet a
maximum fan efficacy of 0.25 watts (W) per cubic feet per minute (cfm) operating at full speed. This may involve
upsizing ductwork, reducing the total effective length of ducts, and/or selecting low pressure drop components,
such as filters. This measure is applied to the ducted split system heat pumps serving the dwelling units.
Energy- or Heat- Recovery Ventilation: An energy- or heat-recovery ventilation (ERV/HRV) system installed on
the central DOAS with 67 percent sensible recovery effectiveness and 1.0 W/cfm fan efficacy (total including both
supply and return fans). The DOAS in the base case model also has a 1.0 W/cfm fan efficacy, so there is no fan
efficacy credit or penalty evaluated for this measure.
Solar Thermal: Prescriptively, central water heating systems require a solar thermal system with a 20 percent
solar fraction in Climates Zones 1 through 9 and 35 percent solar fraction in Climate Zones 10 through 16. This
measure upgrades the prescriptive solar thermal system to meet a 50 percent solar fraction in all climates,
assuming there is available roof space for the additional collectors.
2.2.3 Equipment Fuel Substitution Measures – Water Heating
Since the base case prototype model assumes individual heat pumps for space heating and all-electric
appliances in the dwelling units, the central domestic hot water system is the only equipment serving the dwelling
unit spaces to electrify in the all-electric design. The Statewide Reach Codes Team evaluated two configurations
for electric heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) described below.
New functionality was added to CBECC-Com 2019.1.3 with the ability to model central HPWH systems. There are
two primary system types: “Small, Integrated, Packaged System” and “Large Single Pass Primary”. The former
allows for modeling 40- to 85-gallon residential HPWHs including Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance rated units
and is how the clustered approach referred to in this analysis is modeled. The latter models large central HPWHs
and covers various product models over six manufacturers (at the time of writing this report). CBECC-Com
2019.1.3 also provides a “Solar Thermal Flexibility Credit” to allow for projects with electric central water heating
to use a photovoltaic (PV) system to offset the energy use of the solar thermal system in the Standard Design
base case. Under these conditions, PV’s impact on compliance margin is limited to the value of the solar thermal
credit.

Central HPWH with Recirculation: Per Section 150.1(c)8C of 2019 Title 24, the Energy Commission made an
executive determination outlining requirements of a prescriptive approach for central heat pump water heating
systems in December 2019 (California Energy Commission, 2019b). Key aspects of the prescriptive approach are
described below:
• The system must be configured with a design similar to what is presented in the schematic in Figure 2,
copied from the executive determination document.
• HPWH must be a single-pass split system with the compressor located outdoors and be able to operate
down to -20°F.
• The system must include either a solar thermal water heating system that meets the current prescriptive
requirements or 0.1 direct current kilowatt (kWDC) of PV system capacity per dwelling unit/dwelling unit.
Figure 2: Prescriptive central HPWH system schematic.
Source: Energy Commission (California Energy Commission, 2019b).
For this configuration, the Statewide Reach Codes Team evaluated a central recirculating HPWH system using
Sanden compressors that meet the prescriptive requirements. Based on the system sizing requirements, 19
Sanden units and 1,520 gallons of primary storage capacity are required for the 117-dwelling unit building. The
system is modeled with the tanks located indoors in a conditioned zone and source air provided from outdoors
with the Sanden units likely located on rooftops. The rooftop space required for the heat pump units and the
prescriptive PV system (0.1 kWDC per dwelling unit) will be similar or less than that required for the prescriptive
solar thermal water heating system. The recirculation system is demand controlled meeting the requirements of
the 2019 Reference Appendices RA4.4.13.
Clustered HPWH: This clustered design uses residential integrated storage HPWHs to serve more than one
dwelling unit; four to five bedrooms on average for a total of 38 HPWHs in the 117- dwelling unit, 162-bed
building. The water heaters are located in conditioned interior closets throughout the building and designed for
short plumbing runs without using a hot water recirculation loop. A minimum efficiency 2.0 uniform energy factor
(UEF) HPWH was used for this analysis (to avoid federal preemption). This approach has been selectively used
in multifamily projects because of its reliance on lower cost, small capacity HPWH products. The clustered
strategy is not a prescriptive option but is allowed in the performance path if the water heater serves no more than
eight units. Since each water heater serves multiple dwelling units, the Standard Design includes a solar thermal
water heating system and the project is penalized in compliance if a solar thermal or PV system is not included.

2.2.4 Renewable Energy
PV: There is no existing requirement for PV in the 2019 Title 24 nonresidential code for high-rise residential
buildings (four or more stories). The PV sizing methodology was developed to offset a portion of annual
residential electricity use and avoid oversizing which would violate net energy metering (NEM) rules. In all cases,
PV is evaluated with the PV simulations within CBECC-Com using a standard module type, 180-degree azimuth,
and 22-degree tilt. The analysis evaluated a PV system capacity equal to 0.1 and 0.2 kWDC per dwelling unit.
Assuming 15 W per ft2 this requires 780 to 1,560 ft2 of the 12,540 ft2 rooftop. The benefit of the PV was applied to
the dwelling units assuming virtual NEM.
2.2.5 Nonresidential and Common Area Spaces
Efficiency measure packages and electric equipment (for the all-electric analysis) found to be cost-effective in the
nonresidential building reach code analysis were applied to the nonresidential spaces for evaluating performance
relative to compliance, but the incremental costs and energy impacts of these measures on the nonresidential
spaces were not included in this analysis. Refer to the nonresidential reach code study for more details
(Statewide Reach Codes Team, 2019a).
2.3 Package Development
Three types of measure packages were evaluated for each climate zone to identify cost-effective combinations,
as described below.
1. Efficiency Packages: These packages combine efficiency measures that do not trigger federal
preemption including envelope, water heating distribution, and duct distribution efficiency measures.
2. Fuel Substitution: In addition to applying the efficiency measures these packages also use electric
appliances in place of natural gas appliances. For the residential spaces, only water heating is converted
from using natural gas to electricity.
a. For water heating both a central design with recirculation and a clustered design are evaluated.
3. Efficiency and PV Packages (with or without fuel substitution): In addition to applying efficiency
measures these packages have a PV system to offset a portion of dwelling unit estimated electricity use.
2.4 Measure Cost
Measure costs were obtained from various sources, including prior reach code studies, past Title 24 Codes and
Standards Enhancement (CASE) work (developed by the Statewide CASE Team), local contractors, internet
searches, past projects, and technical reports.
2.4.1 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Measures
Table 2 summarizes the incremental cost assumptions for the residential measures evaluated in this study.
Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacement, and maintenance costs of the proposed
measures relative to the base case. Replacement costs are applied to PV inverters and water heating equipment
over the 30-year evaluation period. There is no assumed incremental maintenance on the envelope, HVAC, or
water heating measures. Costs were estimated to reflect costs to the building owner. When costs were obtained
from a source that did not already include builder overhead and profit, a markup of ten percent was added. All
costs are provided as present value in 2020 (2020 PV$). Costs due to variations in heat pump capacity by climate
zone were not accounted for in the analysis. While the efficiency measures will reduce required cooling and
heating capacities, in most cases they will not be reduced enough to drop to the next nominal capacity system.

Energy Affordability, Redwood Energy, Mithun, Ecotope, and the All-Electric Multifamily Compliance Pathway
2022 CASE Report (Statewide CASE Team, 2020a). Costs are presented in Table 3 and do not include PV
system costs. The cases were evaluated with and without PV even though PV or solar thermal is prescriptively
required as part of the electric central water heating prescriptive approach.

Typical costs for the water heating systems are based on the following assumptions:
Central Gas Boiler: Based on the average of total estimated project costs from contractors for four multi-family
projects ranging from 32 to 340 dwelling units and cost estimates for mid- and high-rise buildings from the All-
Electric Multifamily Compliance Pathway 2022 CASE Report (Statewide CASE Team, 2020a). The cost per
dwelling unit ranged from $547 to $2,089 and the average cost applied in this analysis was $1,122 per dwelling
unit. Costs include installation of gas piping from the building meter to the water heater. Water heater lifetime is
assumed to be 15 years and the net present value (NPV) replacement cost at year 15 is $84,257.
Central Recirculating HPWH: Based on average total installed project costs from four multi-family projects with
Sanden HPWHs ranging from four to 16 Sanden units per project. The cost per Sanden HPWH ranged from
$13,094 to $15,766 and the average cost applied in this analysis was $14,224 per HPWH. Based on the
prescriptive system sizing requirements, 19 Sanden units are required for the 117-dwelling unit building, resulting
in a total first cost of $270,261. Water heater lifetime is assumed to be 15 years. Because Sanden HPWHs are an
emerging technology in the United States, it is expected that over time their costs will decrease and for
replacement at year 15 the costs are assumed to have decreased by 15 percent.
Clustered HPWH: Based on costs from one project with RHEEM HPWHs used in a clustered design. Costs
include water heater interior closet, electrical outlets, and increased breaker size and sub feed. Water heater
based on 2.0 UEF 80-gallon appliance with 38 total HPWHs serving the building (one per four to five bedrooms).
Water heater lifetime is assumed to be 15 years and the NPV replacement cost at year 15 is $98,467. While this
has an impact on leasable floor area, the design impacts have been found to be minimal when addressed early in
design and is equivalent to less than one percent of the residential floor area. This design assumes eight water
heater closets per floor, at approximately 15 ft2 per closet.

Solar Thermal: Based on system costs provided in the All-Electric Multifamily Compliance Pathway 2022 CASE
Report (Statewide CASE Team, 2020a). First costs for materials for the 35 percent solar fraction case and the
markup percentage reflect that presented in the CASE Report for the high-rise prototype. The labor costs and 20
percent solar fraction case costs are estimated based on detailed costs in the CASE Report. Replacement and
maintenance costs assume replacement of the solar thermal tank at year 15 at $6,110 and glycol replacement of
$1,300 each time at years 9, 18, and 27. The cost of the remaining useful life of the glycol at year 30 is deducted
from the final cost. The CASE Report included costs for replacing the solar collectors at year 20. Collectors can
have longer lifetimes up to 30 years if well maintained, therefore this analysis does not assume any replacement
of the collectors over the 30-year analysis period. See Table 4 for details.

2.4.3 Natural Gas Infrastructure Costs
This analysis assumes that in an all-electric new construction project, natural gas would not be supplied to the
building. Eliminating natural gas to the building would save costs associated with connecting a service line from
the street main to the building, piping distribution within the building, and monthly meter customer charges from
the utility. Incremental costs for natural gas infrastructure in the mixed-fuel building are presented in Table 5. Cost
data for the plan review and service extension was estimated on a per building basis and then apportioned to the
residential and nonresidential portions of the buildings based on annual gas consumption. For the base case
prototype building 49 to 82 percent of estimated building annual gas use is attributed to the residential water
heating system across all climate zones. A statewide average of 75 percent was calculated and applied to the
costs in Table 5 based on housing starts provided by the Energy Commission for the 2019 Title 24 code
development process. The meter costs were based on the service provided to the residential and nonresidential
portion of the building separately. Following the table are descriptions of assumptions for each of the cost
components. Costs for gas piping from the meter to the gas boilers are included in the central gas boiler costs
above. Gas piping distribution costs were typically included in total project costs and could not be broken out in all
cases.

Natural Gas Plan Review: Total costs are based on TRC’s 2019 reach code analysis for Palo Alto (TRC, 2018)
and then split between the residential and nonresidential spaces in the building proportionately according to
annual gas consumption with 75 percent of the annual load is attributed to residential units on a statewide basis.
Service Extension: Service extension costs to the building were taken from a PG&E memo dated December 5,
2019 to Energy Commission staff. They include costs for trenching and assume nonresidential new construction
within a developed area (see Appendix C – PG&E Gas Infrastructure Cost Memo). The total cost of $9,200 from
the memo is reduced by 50 percent to account for the portion of the costs paid for by all customers due to
application of Utility Gas Main Extensions rules 2. The resultant cost is apportioned between the residential and
nonresidential spaces in the building based on annual gas consumption of residential and nonresidential uses,
with 75 percent of the annual natural gas use attributed to residential units on a statewide basis.
Meter: Cost per meter provided by PG&E for commercial meters (see Appendix C – PG&E Gas Infrastructure
Cost Memo). Assume one meter for nonresidential boilers serving space heating and service water heating, and
another for residential boilers serving domestic hot water.
2.5 Cost Effectiveness
Cost effectiveness was evaluated for all climate zones and is presented based on both TDV energy, using the
Energy Commission’s LCC methodology, and an On-Bill approach using residential customer utility rates. Both
methodologies require estimating and quantifying the value of the energy impact associated with energy efficiency
measures over the life of the measures (30 years) as compared to the prescriptive Title 24 requirements.
Additional analysis included evaluating the measures using both the 2019 and proposed 2022 TDV multipliers.
The proposed 2022 weather files were also used to calculate site energy use and evaluate On-Bill energy
performance. The 2022 weather files were updated in 2019 and are considered to better represent conditions now
and in the future. They tend to increase cooling and reduce space heating energy use, based on recent warming
trends throughout the state.
Cost effectiveness is presented using both lifecycle NPV savings and benefit-to-cost (B/C) ratio metrics, which
represent the cost effectiveness of a measure over a 30-year lifetime taking into account discounting of future
savings and costs.
• NPV Savings: PV benefits minus PV costs is reported as a cost-effectiveness metric. If the net savings of
a measure or package is positive, it is considered cost-effective. Negative savings represent net costs. A
measure that has negative energy cost benefits (energy cost increase) can still be cost-effective if the
costs to implement the measure are more negative (i.e., material and maintenance cost savings).
• B/C Ratio: Ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all costs over 30 years (PV
benefits divided by PV costs). The criterion for cost effectiveness is a B/C ratio greater than one. 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 1.

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 TDV savings, and the cost by incremental first cost and replacement costs.
However, some packages result in initial construction cost savings (negative incremental cost), 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 cost-effective immediately (i.e.
upfront construction cost savings and lifetime energy cost savings), B/C ratio cost effectiveness is represented by
“>1”. Because of these situations, NPV savings are also reported, which, in these cases, are positive values.
The lifetime costs or benefits are calculated according to Equation 2.

• n = analysis term
• r = discount rate
• t = year at which cost/benefit is incurred
The following summarizes the assumptions applied in this analysis to both methodologies.
• Analysis term of 30-years
• Real discount rate of three percent (does not include inflation)
2.5.1 On-Bill Customer LCC
Residential utility rates were used to calculate utility costs for all cases and determine O n-Bill customer cost
effectiveness for the proposed packages. Utility costs of the nonresidential spaces were not evaluated in this
study, only dwelling unit and water heating energy use. The Statewide Reach Codes Team obtained the
recommended utility rates from the representative utility based on the assumption that the reach codes go into
effect in 2020. Annual utility costs were calculated using hourly electricity and gas output from CBECC-Com and
applying the utility tariffs summarized in Table 6. Appendix B – Utility Rate Schedules includes details on the utility
rate schedules used for this study. The applicable residential time-of-use (TOU) rate was applied to all cases. For
cases with PV generation, the approved NEM2 tariffs were applied along with minimum daily use billing and
mandatory non-bypassable charges. For the PV cases annual electric production was always less than annual
electricity consumption; and therefore, no credits for surplus generation were necessary. Future changes to the
NEM tariffs are likely; however, there is a lot of uncertainty about what those changes will be and when they will
become effective.
There are no master metered multifamily service electric tariffs available from the IOUs. Based on guidance from
the IOUs, the residential electric TOU tariffs that apply to individually metered residential dwelling units were also
used to calculate electricity costs for the central water heating systems. Baseline allowances included in the
electric tariff were applied on a per unit basis for all-electric service.
Based on guidance from the IOUs, master metered multifamily service gas tariffs were used to calculate gas
costs for the central water heating systems. The baseline quantities were applied on a per unit basis, as is defined
in the schedules, and when available water heating only baseline values were used.
Utility rates were applied to each climate zone based on the predominant IOU serving the population of each zone
according to Table 6. Climate Zones 10 and 14 are evaluated with both SCE/SoCalGas and SDG&E tariffs since
each utility has customers within these climate zones. Climate Zone 5 is evaluated under both PG&E and
SoCalGas natural gas rates. Two municipal utility rates were also evaluated, Sacramento Municipal Utility District
(SMUD) in Climate Zone 12 and City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) in Climate Zone 4.

a These rates are allowed assuming no gas is used in the dwelling units.
Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time, using assumptions from research conducted by Energy and
Environmental Economics (E3) in the 2019 study Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy &
Environmental Economics, 2019). Escalation of natural gas rates between 2019 and 2022 is based on the
currently filed GRCs for PG&E, SoCalGas, and SDG&E. Consistent with the E3 study, gas rates are assumed to
escalate at four percent per year above inflation from 2023 through 2025, which reflects historical rate increases
between 2013 and 2018. Escalation of electricity rates from 2019 through 2025 is assumed to be two percent per
year above inflation, based on electric utility estimates. After 2025 escalation rates for both natural gas and
electric rates are assumed to drop to a more conservative one percent escalation per year above inflation for
long-term rate trajectories beginning in 2026 through 2050. See Appendix B – Utility Rate Schedules for additional
details.
2.5.2 TDV LCC
Cost effectiveness was also assessed using the Energy Commission’s TDV LCC methodology. TDV is a
normalized monetary format developed and used by the Energy Commission for comparing electricity and natural
gas savings, and it considers the cost of electricity and natural gas consumed during different times of the day
and year. Two versions of TDV were evaluated in this study: the 2019 TDV values used under current 2019 Title
24 for compliance and the 2022 TDV values recently developed and approved by the Energy Commission for the
upcoming 2022 Title 24 cycle which will become effective January 1, 2023.
The Energy Commission adopted the TDV methodology to more accurately reflect the variations in the value of
energy used (or saved) based on the mix of generation resources and demand on the grid at any given time, as
well as impacts on retail energy costs. The 2022 TDV values reflect changes in the generation mix as well as the
shift in the peak demand time from mid-afternoon toward early evenings.
The TDV values are based on long term discounted costs of 30 years for all residential measures. The CBECC-
Com simulation software results are expressed in terms of TDV kBtu. The present value of the energy cost
savings in dollars is calculated by multiplying the TDV kBtu savings by a NPV factor, also developed by the
Energy Commission. The 30-year NPV factor is $0.154/TDV kBtu for nonresidential projects under both the 2019
and 2022 Title 24.
Like the customer B/C ratio, a TDV B/C ratio value of one indicates the savings over the life of the measure are
equivalent to the incremental cost of that measure. A value greater than one represents a positive return on
investment. The ratio is calculated according to Equation 3.

2.5.2.1 2019 and 2022 TDV Differences
There were key changes to the 2022 TDV methodology as compared to the 2019 TDV. Major updates include the
following and are further described in the final 2022 TDV methodology report (Energy & Environmental
Economics, 2020).
• Updated weather files to reflect historical data from recent years.
• New load profiles representing building and transportation electrification and renewable generation.
• Addition of internalized cost streams to account for carbon emissions.
• Shaped retail rate adjustment partially scaled to hourly marginal cost of service.
• Addition of non-combustion emissions from methane and refrigerant leakage.
The impact of these key changes for electricity TDV are lower values during the mid-day that correspond with an
abundance of solar production and a shift of the peak TDV to later in the day as a result of increasing levels of
rooftop PV systems. However, the overall magnitude of the electricity 2022 TDV does not increase significantly
relative to 2019 TDV. For natural gas TDV there is a large increase in magnitude with the 2022 TDV roughly 40
percent higher than in 2019. This is driven by the new retail rate forecast, increased fixed costs for maintaining
the distribution system, and the new carbon cost component.
The updated 2022 weather files represent an updated dataset based on historical weather sampled from recent
years (1998-2017) to reflect the impacts of climate change. Cooling loads increase significantly, particularly for
the mild climate zones where cooling energy use was previously low. Heating loads decrease on average 30
percent across all climate zones. The weather files used for the 2019 code cycle had not been updated since the
2013 code cycle and represented data only up until 2009. The Energy Commission and the Statewide Reach
Codes Team contend that the updated 2022 weather files better reflect changing climate conditions in California.
Therefore, the 2022 files are used for all the analysis reported in this study.
2.6 GHG Emissions Reductions
Equivalent CO2 emission reductions were calculated based on estimates from Zero Code reports available in
CBECC-Com simulation software.3 Electricity emissions vary by region and by hour of the year, accounting for
time dependent energy use and carbon emissions based on source emissions, including renewable portfolio
standard projections. Hourly profiles reflect Climate Zones 1 through 5 and 11 through 13 as a single region and
Climate Zones 6 through 10 and 14 through 16 as another. For natural gas, a fixed factor of 11.7 pounds (lb) per
therm is used. To compare the mixed-fuel and all-electric cases side-by-side, GHG emissions are presented as
CO2-equivalent (CO2e) emissions per dwelling unit.

3 Results
The primary objective of this evaluation is to identify cost-effective, non-preempted performance targets for high-
rise multifamily buildings, under both mixed-fuel and all-electric cases, to support the design of local ordinances
requiring new high-rise residential buildings to exceed the minimum state requirements. The packages presented
are representative examples of designs and measures that can be used to meet the requirements. In practice, a
builder can use any combination of non-preempted or preempted compliant measures to meet the requirements.
This analysis evaluated a package of efficiency measures applied to a mixed-fuel design and a similar package
for an all-electric design. Each design was evaluated using the predominant utility rates in all climate zones. PV
was also added to the efficiency packages.
The following measures are included in at least one package:
• Lower SHGC fenestration
• Wall insulation
• Low pressure-drop HVAC distribution system
• HERS verified pipe insulation
The following measures were evaluated but were found to not be cost-effective in any of the climate zones and
were not included in any of the packages:
• Solar thermal system with higher solar fraction than prescriptive requirements
• ERV/HRV System
• Lower U-factor fenestration
Table 7 describes the efficiency measures included in the mixed-fuel and all-electric packages.

Table 8 presents results for the mixed-fuel packages and Table 9 through Table 11 present results for the all-
electric packages. Both mixed-fuel and all-electric results are relative to the mixed-fuel 2019 Title 24 prescriptive
baseline model with in-unit heat pumps for heating and cooling and central gas water heating. B/C ratios for all
packages are calculated according to the On-Bill, 2019 TDV, and 2022 TDV methodologies. The all-electric
results are presented both without PV and with a PV system sized based on 0.1 and 0.2 kWDC per dwelling unit.
The mixed-fuel package was also evaluated with 0.1 kWDC per dwelling unit and results are presented in
Appendix D – Detailed Results - Mixed Fuel. Appendix E – Detailed Results - All-Electric provides detailed results
for the all-electric packages.
Compliance margins for the mixed-fuel efficiency packages range from six to eight percent (except in Climate
Zone 1), which meets the Title 24, Part 11 (CALGreen) Tier 1 energy performance requirement for high-rise
residential buildings (minimum five percent compliance margin). The packages are cost-effective based on all
metrics in Climate Zones 2 through 16.
The all-electric efficiency packages with central recirculating HPWH equipment meet minimum Title 24
requirements in all climate zones except 1 and 16, with compliance margins ranging from 0.1 to 4.7 percent. The
all-electric packages result in natural gas savings and an increase in electricity use. The central recirculating case
is not cost-effective On-Bill with higher lifecycle utility costs except in SMUD territory but is cost-effective based on
2022 TDV in all climates.
The clustered HPWH case only meets minimum Title 24 requirements in Climate Zones 4, 6 through 9, and 15.
Even though the clustered HPWH is cost-effective in almost all climate zones, it is not code compliant in many
and may not be used to support a local reach code in those zones. The package is cost-effective On-Bill
everywhere except Climate Zones 1, 3, 5, and 16. The clustered approach has lower installed costs compared to
the mixed fuel baseline but results in higher utility costs in all Climate Zones except 8, 9, 15, 4 (in CPAU territory),
and 12 (in SMUD territory). The clustered HPWH case is cost-effective based on TDV in all climates.
The all-electric packages become cost-effective On-Bill when either 0.1 or 0.2 kWDC of PV per dwelling unit is
installed, except with the central HPWH with recirculation design in Climate Zone 1. The all-electric packages in
Climate Zones 1 and 16 are not code compliant with PV and may not be used to support a local reach code in
those climate zones.

High-Rise Residential New Construction Cost-Effectiveness Study
2021-02-22 27
4 Conclusions and Summary
This report evaluated the feasibility and cost effectiveness of “above code” performance specifications for newly
constructed high-rise multifamily buildings. The analysis included application of efficiency measures, electric
appliances, and PV in all climate zones and found cost-effective packages across the state. For the building
designs and climate zones where cost-effective packages were identified, the results of this analysis can be used
by local jurisdictions to support the adoption of reach codes. Cost effectiveness was evaluated according to three
metrics: On-Bill customer, 2019 TDV, and 2022 TDV LCC B/C ratio.
For mixed-fuel buildings, this analysis demonstrates that there are cost-effective efficiency packages based on at
least one of the evaluated cost-effectiveness metrics that achieve a minimum five percent compliance margin in
most climate zones. The exception is Climate Zone 1 where the package only resulted in a 4.5 percent
compliance margin. Although the Climate Zone 1 package is not cost-effective based on either the 2019 TDV or
the On-Bill methodologies, it is cost-effective based on 2022 TDV.
This study evaluated electrification of residential loads in new high-rise multifamily buildings. Based on typical
construction across California, the base case condition incorporated all-electric appliances within the dwelling unit
spaces. As a result, only central water heating was converted from natural gas to electric as part of this analysis.
For all-electric buildings, this analysis demonstrates that there are cost-effective efficiency packages with a
HPWH that are Title 24 compliant in all climate zones except Climate Zones 1 and 16.
The case with the central recirculating HPWH is cost-effective based on the 2022 TDV methodology in all climate
zones. Additionally, in Climate Zone 15 it is cost-effective based on 2019 TDV and in Climate Zone 12 in SMUD
territory it is cost-effective On-Bill. Utility cost savings were found in Climate Zones 2, 4, 5 (in PG&E territory), 6-9,
10 (in SCE territory), 12 (in SMUD territory), 14 (in SCE territory), and 15. This case (Table 9) demonstrates how
the analysis results differ under the 2019 and 2022 TDV metrics. The B/C ratios are typically two to five times
greater under 2022 than 2019 because of the higher relative gas versus electric TDV multipliers in 2022.When 0.1
to 0.2 kWDC per dwelling unit is included, the package is cost-effective based on On-Bill in all climate zones
except Climate Zone 1.
The central recirculating HPWH case is based on the Energy Commission’s approved prescriptive design and
applies Sanden HPWHs, which are higher cost than other available products. As HPWHs gain market share,
installed costs are anticipated to decrease as the labor force becomes more familiar with the technology,
performance improvements are achieved, and available product options increase. It is also anticipated that
modeling of central HPWHs will improve as results from field and lab testing inform the modeling algorithms. This
will allow for more accurate modeling of system performance and modeling of other design strategies such as
multi-pass HPWH systems.
The clustered HPWH case is cost-effective without PV On-Bill everywhere except Climate Zones 1, 3, 5 (in
SoCalGas territory), and 16, although the package is not code compliant in numerous climate zones. It was found
to have a much lower installed cost than the recirculating HPWH case but higher operating cost because federal
minimum efficiency was assumed (2.0 UEF). When 0.1 to 0.2 kWDC per dwelling unit is included, the package is
cost-effective On-Bill in all climate zones, although still not code compliant in Climate Zone 1 or 16.

4.1 Additional conclusions
• This study found that electrification of central domestic hot water loads, in combination with efficiency
measures, can result in an overall benefit to the consumer through lower utility bills, depending on the
HPWH strategy and electricity and gas tariff. The all-electric results demonstrate a trend with On-Bill cost
effectiveness across the different electric utilities. B/C ratios and NPV in SCE, SMUD, and CPAU
territories are typically higher than the cases in PG&E and SDG&E territories. This indicates that rate
design can play an important role in encouraging or discouraging electrification. Refer to Appendix D –
Detailed Results - Mixed Fuel and Appendix E – Detailed Results - All-Electric for utility cost data.
• Two electric water heating scenarios were evaluated. The most appropriate HPWH design approach for
any particular building will depend on many aspects including number and size of dwelling units, building
layout, and first costs.
• In multifamily buildings with central water heating where multiple people or entities are responsible for the
utility bills, utility impacts may not align. If tenants pay dwelling unit utility bills and the owner pays the
water heating bill, the benefits of efficiency measures or PV serving the dwelling unit will benefit the
tenant and savings would not directly impact any water heating electrification cost increases.
• This study did not evaluate federally preempted high efficiency appliances. Specifying high efficiency
equipment is a viable approach to meeting Title 24 compliance and local ordinance requirements and is
commonly used by project teams. Other studies have found that efficiency packages and electrification
packages that employ high efficiency equipment can be quite cost-effective ((Statewide Reach Codes
Team, 2019b), (Energy & Environmental Economics, 2019)).
• When PV capacity is added to the all-electric packages, all cases are cost-effective based on the On-Bill
metric (except Climate Zone 1 with the central recirculating HPWH). In some cases, PV improves cost
effectiveness, and in other cases it reduces it. The cost effectiveness of adding PV as an independent
measure results in On-Bill B/C ratios between 2.4 and 3.5 for PG&E territory, 2.4 to 2.7 for SCE territory,
and 3.5 to 3.8 for SDG&E territory. The B/C ratio is 1.9 and 1.5 in CPAU and SMUD territories,
respectively. Adding PV in addition to the efficiency packages improves cost effectiveness where the B/C
ratios for the efficiency measures alone are lower than the B/C ratios for PV alone, and vice versa where
they are higher. Annual base case electricity costs and annual utility savings from PV are lower in SCE
territory than in PG&E and SDG&E territories. This is due to lower off-peak rates and a bigger difference
in peak versus off-peak rates for the TOU-D SCE electricity rate tariff. Most PV production occurs during
off-peak times (4 pm to 9 pm peak period).

Escalation Assumptions
The average annual escalation rates in Table 21 were used in this study and are from E3’s 2019 study
Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy & Environmental Economics, 2019). These rates are
applied to the 2019 rate schedules over a 30-year period beginning in 2020. SDG&E was not covered in the E3
study. The Statewide Reach Codes Team reviewed SDG&E’s GRC filing and applied the same approach that E3
applied for PG&E and SoCalGas to arrive at average escalation rates between 2020 and 2022. The statewide
electricity escalation rates were also applied to the analysis for SMUD and CPAU. PG&E gas escalation rates
were applied to CPAU as the best available estimate since CPAU uses PG&E gas infrastructure.

2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
1 2019-07-25
1 Introduction
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. 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 Reach Code Team.
This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state
requirements for design in newly-constructed nonresidential buildings. Buildings specifically examined
include medium office, medium retail, and small hotels. Measures include energy efficiency, solar
photovoltaics (PV), and battery storage. In addition, the report includes a comparison between a baseline
mixed-fuel design and all-electric design for each occupancy type.
The Reach Code team analyzed the following seven packages as compared to 2019 code compliant mixed-
fuel design baseline:
♦ Package 1A – Mixed-Fuel + Energy Efficiency (EE): Mixed-fuel design with energy efficiency

The team separately developed cost effectiveness results for PV-only and PV+Battery packages, excluding
any efficiency measures. For these packages, the PV is modeled as a “minimal” size of 3 kW and a larger
size based on the available roof area and electric load of the building. PV sizes are combined with two
sizes of battery storage for both mixed fuel and all electric buildings to form eight different package
combinations as outlined below:
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV Only
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV Only: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the annual electricity
consumption, whichever is smaller
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV + 50 kWh Battery: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the
annual electricity consumption, whichever is smaller, along with 50 kWh battery
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV Only
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery
♦ All-Electric + PV Only: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the annual electricity
consumption, whichever is smaller
♦ All-Electric + PV + 50 kWh Battery: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the
annual electricity consumption, whichever is smaller, along with 50 kWh battery.
Each of the eight packages are evaluated against a baseline model designed as per 2019 Title 24 Part 6
requirements. The Standards baseline for all occupancies in this report is a mixed-fuel design.
The Department of Energy (DOE) sets minimum efficiency standards for equipment and appliances that
are federally regulated under the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA), including heating,
cooling, and water heating equipment.1 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 equipment. However, because high
efficiency appliances are often the easiest and most affordable measures to increase energy performance,
this study provides an analysis of high efficiency appliances for informational purposes. While federal
preemption would limit a reach code, in practice, builders may install any package of compliant measures
to achieve the performance requirements, including higher efficiency appliances that are federally
regulated.
2 Methodology and Assumptions
With input from several stakeholders, the Reach Codes team selected three building types—medium
office, medium retail, and small hotel—to represent a predominant segment of nonresidential new
construction in the state.
This analysis used both on-bill and time dependent valuation of energy (TDV) based approaches to
evaluate cost-effectiveness. Both methodologies require estimating and quantifying the energy savings
associated with energy efficiency measures, as well as quantifying the costs associated with the measures.
The main difference between the methodologies is the valuation of energy and thus the cost savings of
reduced or avoided energy use. TDV was developed by the Energy Commission to reflect the time
dependent value of energy including long-term projected costs of energy such as the cost of providing
energy during peak periods of demand and other societal costs including projected costs for carbon
emissions. With the TDV approach, electricity used (or saved) during peak periods has a much higher
value than electricity used (or saved) during off-peak periods.2
The Reach Code Team performed energy simulations using EnergyPro 8.0 software for 2019 Title 24 code
compliance analysis, which uses CBECC-Com 2019.1.0 for the calculation engine. The baseline prototype
models in all climate zones have been designed to have compliance margins as close as possible to 0 to
reflect a prescriptively-built building.3
2.1 Building Prototypes
The DOE provides building prototype models which, when modified to comply with 2019 Title 24
requirements, can be used to evaluate the cost effectiveness of efficiency measures. These prototypes
have historically been used by the California Energy Commission to assess potential code enhancements.
The Reach Code Team performed analysis on a medium office, a medium retail, and a small hotel
prototype.
Water heating includes both service water heating (SWH) for office and retail buildings and domestic hot
water for hotels. In this report, water heating or SWH is used to refer to both. The Standard Design HVAC
and SWH systems are based on the system maps included in the 2019 Nonresidential Alternate

07-09_workshop/2017_TDV_Documents
3 EnergySoft and TRC were able to develop most baseline prototypes to achieve a compliance margin of less than +/-1 percent
except for few models that were at +/- 6 percent. This indicates these prototypes are not exactly prescriptive according to
compliance software calculations. To calculate incremental impacts, TRC conservatively compared the package results to that of
the proposed design of baseline prototypes (not the standard design).

with a 30-gallon storage tank.
♦ The baseline medium retail HVAC design includes five single zone packaged rooftop units (variable

includes one 8.75 kW electric resistance hot water heater with a 30-gallon storage tank.
♦ The small hotel has two baseline equipment systems, one for the nonresidential spaces and one
for the guest rooms.
♦ The nonresidential HVAC design includes two gas hot water boilers, four packaged rooftop
units and twelve VAV terminal boxes with hot water reheat coils. The SWH design include a
small electric resistance water heater with 30-gallon storage tank.
♦ The residential HVAC design includes one single zone air conditioner (AC) unit with gas
furnace for each guest room and the water heating design includes one central gas water
heater with a recirculation pump for all guest rooms.

2.2 Cost Effectiveness
The Reach Code Team analyzed the cost effectiveness of the packages by applying them to building
prototypes (as applicable) using the life cycle cost methodology, which is approved and used by the
Energy Commission to establish cost effective building energy standards (Title 24, Part 6).5
Per Energy Commission’s methodology, the Reach Code Team assessed the incremental costs of the
energy efficiency measure packages and compared them to the energy cost savings over the measure life
of 15 years. Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacements, and maintenance
costs of the proposed measure relative to the 2019 Title 24 Standards minimum requirements. The
energy savings benefits are estimated using both TDV of energy and typical utility rates for each building
type:
♦ Time Dependent Valuation: TDV is a normalized monetary format developed and used by the
Energy Commission for comparing electricity and natural gas savings, and it considers the cost of
electricity and natural gas consumed during different times of the day and year. Simulation
outputs are translated to TDV savings benefits using 2019 TDV multipliers and 15-year discounted
costs for the nonresidential measure packages.
♦ Utility bill impacts (On-bill): Utility energy costs are estimated by applying appropriate IOU rates
to estimated annual electricity and natural gas consumption. The energy bill savings are
calculated as the difference in utility costs between the baseline and proposed package over a 15-
year duration accounting for discount rate and energy cost escalation.
In coordination with the IOU rate team, and rate experts at a few electric publicly owned utilities (POUs),
the Reach Code Team used the current nonresidential utility rates publicly available at the time of analysis
to analyze the cost effectiveness for each proposed package. The utility tariffs, summarized in Figure 3,
were determined based on the annual load profile of each prototype, and the most prevalent rate in each
territory. For some prototypes there are multiple options for rates because of the varying load profiles of
mixed-fuel buildings versus all-electric buildings. Tariffs were integrated in EnergyPro software to be
applied to the hourly electricity and gas outputs. The Reach Code Team did not attempt to compare or
test a variety of tariffs to determine their impact on cost effectiveness.
The currently available and applicable time-of–use (TOU) nonresidential rates are applied to both the
base and proposed cases with PV systems.6 Any annual electricity production in excess of annual
electricity consumption is credited at the applicable wholesale rate based on the approved NEM tariffs for
that utility. For a more detailed breakdown of the rates selected refer to Appendix 6.4 Utility Rate
Schedules. Note that most utility time-of-use rates will be updated in the near future, which can affect
cost effectiveness results. For example, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will introduce new rates
for new service connections in late 2019, and existing accounts will be automatically rolled over to new
rates in November 2020.

The Reach Code Team obtained measure costs through interviews with contractors and California
distributors and review of online sources, such as Home Depot and RS Means. Taxes and contractor
markups were added as appropriate. Maintenance costs were not included because there is no assumed
maintenance on the envelope measures. For HVAC and SWH measures the study assumes there are no
additional maintenance cost for a more efficient version of the same system type as the baseline.
Replacement costs for inverters were included for PV systems, but the useful life all other equipment
exceeds the study period.
The Reach Code Team compared the energy benefits with incremental measure cost data to determine
cost effectiveness for each measure package. The calculation is performed for a duration of 15 years for
all nonresidential prototypes with a 3 percent discount rate and fuel escalation rates based on the most
recent General Rate Case filings and historical escalation rates.7 Cost effectiveness is presented using net
present value and benefit-to-cost ratio metrics.
♦ Net Present Value (NPV): The Reach Code Team uses net savings (NPV benefits minus NPV costs)
as the cost effectiveness metric. If the net savings of a measure or package is positive, it is
considered cost effective. Negative savings represent net costs. A measure that has negative
energy cost benefits (energy cost increase) can still be cost effective if the costs to implement the
measure are more negative (i.e., material and maintenance cost savings).
♦ Benefit-to-Cost Ratio (B/C): Ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all
costs over 15 years (NPV benefits divided by NPV costs). The criteria for cost effectiveness is a B/C
greater than 1.0. A value of one indicates the savings over the life of the measure are equivalent
to the incremental cost of that measure.

2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
7 2019-07-25
There are several special circumstances to consider when reviewing these results:
♦ Improving the efficiency of a project often requires an initial incremental investment. However,
some packages result in initial construction cost savings (negative incremental cost), and either
energy cost savings (positive benefits), or increased energy costs (negative benefits). Typically,
utility bill savings are categorized as a ‘benefit’ while incremental construction costs are treated
as ‘costs.’ In cases where both construction costs are negative and utility bill savings are negative,
the construction cost savings are treated as the ‘benefit’ while the utility bill negative savings are
the ‘cost.’
♦ In cases where a measure package is cost effective immediately (i.e., there are upfront cost
savings and lifetime energy cost savings), cost effectiveness is represented by “>1”.
♦ The B/C ratios sometimes appear very high even though the cost numbers are not very high (for
example, an upfront cost of $1 but on-bill savings of $200 over 30 years would equate to a B/C
ratio of 200). NPV is also displayed to clarify these potentially confusing conclusions – in the
example, the NPV would be equal to a modest $199.
3 Measure Description and Cost
Using the 2019 Title 24 code baseline as the starting point, The Reach Code Team identified potential
measure packages to determine the projected energy (therm and kWh) and compliance impacts. The
Reach Code Team developed an initial measure list based on experience with designers and contractors
along with general knowledge of the relative acceptance and preferences of many measures, as well as
their incremental costs.
The measures are categorized into energy efficiency, solar PV and battery, all-electric, and preempted
high efficiency measures in subsections below.
3.1 Energy Efficiency Measures
This section describes all the energy efficiency measures considered for this analysis to develop a non-
preempted, cost-effective efficiency measure package. The Reach Code Team assessed the cost-
effectiveness of measures for all climate zones individually and found that the packages did not need to
vary by climate zone, with the exception of a solar heat gain coefficient measure in hotels, as described in
more detail below. The measures were developed based on reviews of proposed 2022 Title 24 codes and
standards enhancement measures, as well as ASHRAE 90.1 and ASHRAE 189.1 Standards. Please refer to
Appendix Section 6.86.7 for a list of efficiency measures that were considered but not implemented.
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study

Figure 4 provides a summary of the cost of each measure and the applicability of each measure to the
prototype buildings.
3.1.1 Envelope
♦ Modify Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) fenestration
♦ Office and Retail - All Climate Zones: reduce window SHGC from the prescriptive value of 0.25
to 0.22
♦ Hotel
♦ Climate zones 1, 2, 3, 5, and 16: Increase the SHGC for all nonresidential spaces from the
prescriptive value of 0.25 to 0.45 in both common and guest room spaces.
♦ Climate zones 4, and 6-15: Reduce window SHGC from the prescriptive value of 0.25 to
0.22, only for common spaces.
In all cases, the fenestration visible transmittance and U-factor remain at prescriptive values.
♦ Fenestration as a function of orientation: Limit the amount of fenestration area as a function of
orientation. East-facing and west-facing windows are each limited to one-half of the average
amount of north-facing and south-facing windows.
3.1.2 HVAC and SWH
♦ Drain water heat recovery (DWHR): Add shower drain heat recovery in hotel guest rooms. DWHR
captures waste heat from a shower drain line and uses it to preheat hot water. Note that this
measure cannot currently be modeled on hotel/motel spaces, and the Reach Code Team
integrated estimated savings outside of modeling software based on SWH savings in residential
scenarios. Please see Appendix Section 6.3 for details on energy savings analysis.
♦ VAV box minimum flow: Reduce VAV box minimum airflows from the current T24 prescriptive
requirement of 20 percent of maximum (design) airflow to the T24 zone ventilation minimums.
♦ Economizers on small capacity systems: Require economizers and staged fan control in units with
cooling capacity ≥ 33,000 Btu/hr and ≤ 54,000 Btu/hr, which matches the requirement in the 2018
International Green Construction Code and adopts ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1.
This measure reduces the T24 prescriptive threshold on air handling units that are required to
have economizers, which is > 54,000 Btu/hr.
♦ Solar thermal hot water: For all-electric hotel only, add solar thermal water heating to supply the
following portions of the water heating load, measured in solar savings fraction (SSF):
♦ 20 percent SSF in CZs 2, 3, and 5-9
♦ 25 percent in CZ4
♦ 35 percent SSF in CZs 1 and 10-16.
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study

3.1.3 Lighting
♦ Interior lighting reduced lighting power density (LPD): Reduce LPD by 15 percent for Medium
Office, 10 percent for Medium Retail and by 10 percent for the nonresidential areas of the Small
Hotel.
♦ Institutional tuning: Limit the maximum output or maximum power draw of lighting to 85 percent
of full light output or full power draw.
♦ Daylight dimming plus off: Turn daylight-controlled lights completely off when the daylight
available in the daylit zone is greater than 150 percent of the illuminance received from the
general lighting system at full power. There is no associated cost with this measure, as the 2019
T24 Standards already require multilevel lighting and daylight sensors in primary and secondary
daylit spaces. This measure is simply a revised control strategy and does not increase the number
of sensors required or labor to install and program a sensor.
♦ Occupant sensing in open plan offices: In an open plan office area greater than 250 ft2, control
lighting based on occupant sensing controls. Two workstations per occupancy sensor.
Details on the applicability and impact of each measure by building type and by space function can be
found in Appendices 6.2. The appendix also includes the resulting LPD that is modeled as the proposed by
building type and by space function.

3.2 Solar Photovoltaics and Battery Measures
This section describes the PV and battery measures considered for this analysis. The Reach Code Team
estimated the required PV sizes for each building prototype for the efficiency measure packages and the
stand alone PV and battery options.
3.2.1 Solar Photovoltaics
2019 Title 24 requires nonresidential buildings to reserve at least 15 percent of the roof area as a “solar
zone,” but does not include any requirements or compliance credits for the installation of photovoltaic
systems. The Reach Code Team analyzed a range of PV system sizes to determine cost effectiveness. To
determine upper end of potential PV system size, the Reach Code Team assumed a PV generation capacity
of either
♦ 15 W/ft2 covering 50 percent of the roof area, or
♦ Enough to nearly offset the annual energy consumption.
The medium office and small hotel prototypes had small roof areas compared to their annual electricity
demand, thus the PV system capacity at 50 percent of the roof area was less than the estimated annual
usage. The medium office and small hotel had a 135 kW and 80 kW array, respectively. The medium retail
building has a substantially large roof area that would accommodate a PV array that generates more than
the annual electricity load of the building. The PV array for the medium retail building was sized at 110 kW
to not exceed the annual electricity consumption of the building when accounting for the minimum
annual energy demand across climate zones with efficiency packages.
The modeling software for nonresidential buildings does not allow auto-sizing of PV based on a desired
percent offset of electricity use. Moreover, the PV size is also constrained by the availability of roof area.
Hence, a common size of PV is modeled for all the packages including all electric design. Figure 5 through
Figure 7 below demonstrate the percent of electricity offset by PV for both mixed fuel and all electric
buildings over their respective federal minimum design package.

The costs for PV include first cost to purchase and install the system, inverter replacement costs, and
annual maintenance costs. A summary of the medium office costs and sources is given in Figure 8.
Upfront solar PV system costs are reduced by the federal income tax credit (ITC), approximately 19
percent due to a phased reduction in the credit through the year 2022.12
12 The federal credit drops to 26% in 2020, and 22% in 2021 before dropping permanently to 10% for commercial projects and 0%
for residential projects in 2022. More information on federal Investment Tax Credits available at:

PV energy output is built into CBECC-Com and is based on NREL’s PVWatts calculator, which includes long
term performance degradation estimates.15
3.2.2 Battery Storage
This measure includes installation of batteries to allow energy generated through PV to be stored and
used later, providing additional energy cost benefits. This report does not focus on optimizing battery
sizes or controls for each prototype and climate zone, though the Reach Code Team ran test simulations
to assess the impact of battery sizes on TDV savings and found diminishing returns as the battery size
increased.
The team set battery control to the Time of Use Control (TOU) method, which assumes batteries are
charged anytime PV generation is greater than the building load but discharges to the electric grid
beginning during the highest priced hours of the day (the “First Hour of the Summer Peak”). Because
there is no default hour available in CBECC-Com, the team applied the default hour available in CBECC-Res
to start discharging (hour 19 in CZs 2, 4, and 8-15, and hour 20 in other CZs). This control option is most
reflective of the current products on the market. While this control strategy is being used in the analysis,
there would be no mandate on the control strategy used in practice.
The current simulation software has approximations of how performance characteristics change with
environmental conditions, charge/discharge rates, and degradation with age and use. More information is
on the software battery control capabilities and associated qualification requirements are available in the
Residential Alternative Calculation Method Reference Manual and the 2019 Reference Appendices for the
2019 Title 24 Standards.16,17
The Reach Code Team used costs of $558 kWh based on a 2018 IOU Codes and Standards Program report,
assuming a replacement is necessary in year 15.18 Batteries are also eligible for the ITC if they are installed

the battery comes from a renewable source. Thus, the Reach Code Team also applied a 19 percent cost
reduction to battery costs.
3.2.3 PV-only and PV+Battery Packages
The Reach Code Team analyzed solar PV and battery storage only, without other efficiency measures in
both mixed-fuel and all-electric building designs. Two different sizes of solar PV and battery storage were
analyzed.
♦ Small PV Size: 3 kW, assumed to be the minimal PV system considered for installation in a
nonresidential building.
♦ Large PV Size: PV capacity equal to 15 W/ft2 over 50 percent of the roof area, or sized to nearly
offset annual electricity consumption, as described in Section 3.2.1.
♦ Small Battery Size: 5 kWh, assumed to be the minimal battery system considered for installation
in a nonresidential building, and representative of smaller products currently available on the
market.
♦ Large Battery Size: 50 kWh, assumed to be a substantially large size for a nonresidential setting.
Generally, the reach code team found diminishing on-bill and TDV benefits as the battery size
increased.
As described in Section 1 and Section 4.4, each PV size was run as a standalone measure. When packaged
with a battery measure, the small PV size was paired with the small battery size, and the large PV size was
paired with the large battery size.
3.3 All Electric Measures
The Reach Code Team investigated the cost and performance impacts and associated infrastructure costs
associated with changing the baseline HVAC and water heating systems to all-electric equipment. This
includes heat pump space heating, electric resistance reheat coils, electric water heater with storage tank,
heat pump water heating, increasing electrical capacity, and eliminating natural gas connections that
would have been present in mixed-fuel new construction. The Reach Code Team selected electric systems
that would be installed instead of gas-fueled systems in each prototype.
3.3.1 HVAC and Water Heating
The nonresidential standards use a mixed-fuel baseline for the Standard Design systems. In most
nonresidential occupancies, the baseline is natural gas space heating. Hotel/motels and high-rise
residential occupancies also assume natural gas baseline water heating systems for the guest rooms and
dwelling units. In the all-electric scenario, gas equipment serving these end-uses is replaced with electric
equipment, as described in Figure 9.

The Reach Code Team received cost data for baseline mixed-fuel equipment as well as electric equipment
from an experienced mechanical contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area. The total construction cost
includes equipment and material, labor, subcontractors (for example, HVAC and SHW control systems),
and contractor overhead.
3.3.1.1 Medium Office
The baseline HVAC system includes two gas hot water boilers, three packaged rooftop units, and VAV hot
water reheat boxes. The SHW design includes one 8.75 kW electric resistance hot water heater with a 30-
gallon storage tank.
For the medium office all-electric HVAC design, the Reach Code Team investigated several potential all-
electric design options, including variable refrigerant flow, packaged heat pumps, and variable volume
and temperature systems. After seeking feedback from the design community, the Reach Code Team
determined that the most feasible all-electric HVAC system, given the software modeling constraints is a
VAV system with an electric resistance reheat instead of hot water reheat coil. A parallel fan-powered box
(PFPB) implementation of electric resistance reheat would further improve efficiency due to reducing
ventilation requirements, but an accurate implementation of PFPBs is not currently available in
compliance software.
Note that the actual natural gas consumption for the VAV hot water reheat baseline may be higher than
the current simulation results due to a combination of boiler and hot water distribution losses. A recent
research study shows that the total losses can account for as high as 80 percent of the boiler energy use.19

If these losses are considered savings for the electric resistance reheat (which has zero associated
distribution loss) may be higher.
The all-electric SHW system remains the same electric resistance water heater as the baseline and has no
associated incremental costs.
Cost data for medium office designs are presented in Figure 10. The all-electric HVAC system presents
cost savings compared to the hot water reheat system from elimination of the hot water boiler and
associated hot water piping distribution. CZ10 and CZ15 all-electric design costs are slightly higher
because they require larger size rooftop heat pumps than the other climate zones.

CZ16 $1,295,766 $1,222,817 $(72,949)
3.3.1.2 Medium Retail
The baseline HVAC system includes five packaged single zone rooftop ACs with gas furnaces. Based on fan
control requirements in section 140.4(m), units with cooling capacity ≥ 65,000 Btu/h have variable air
volume fans, while smaller units have constant volume fans. The SHW design includes one 8.75 kW
electric resistance hot water heater with a 30-gallon storage tank.
For the medium retail all-electric HVAC design, the Reach Code Team assumed packaged heat pumps
instead of the packaged ACs. The all-electric SHW system remains the same electric resistance water
heater as the baseline and has no associated incremental costs.
Cost data for medium retail designs are presented in Figure 11. Costs for rooftop air-conditioning systems
are very similar to rooftop heat pump systems.

3.3.1.3 Small Hotel
The small hotel has two different baseline equipment systems, one for the nonresidential spaces and one
for the guest rooms. The nonresidential HVAC system includes two gas hot water boilers, four packaged
rooftop units and twelve VAV terminal boxes with hot water reheat coil. The SHW design includes a small
electric water heater with storage tank. The residential HVAC design includes one single zone AC unit with
gas furnace for each guest room and the water heating design includes one central gas storage water
heater with a recirculation pump for all guest rooms.
For the small hotel all-electric design, the Reach Code Team assumed the nonresidential HVAC system to
be packaged heat pumps with electric resistance VAV terminal units, and the SHW system to remain a
small electric resistance water heater.
For the guest room all-electric HVAC system, the analysis used a single zone (packaged terminal) heat
pump and a central heat pump water heater serving all guest rooms. Central heat pump water heating
with recirculation serving guest rooms cannot yet be modeled in CBECC-Com, and energy impacts were
modeled by simulating individual heat pump water heaters in each guest room. The reach code team
believes this is a conservative assumption, since individual heat pump water heaters will have much
higher tank standby losses. The Reach Code Team attained costs for central heat pump water heating
installation including storage tanks and controls and used these costs in the study.
Cost data for small hotel designs are presented in Figure 12. The all-electric design presents substantial
cost savings because there is no hot water plant or piping distribution system serving the nonresidential
spaces, as well as the lower cost of packaged terminal heat pumps serving the residential spaces
compared to split DX/furnace systems with individual flues.

3.3.2 Infrastructure Impacts
Electric heating appliances and equipment often require a larger electrical connection than an equivalent
natural gas appliance because of the higher voltage and amperage necessary to electrically generate heat.
Thus, many buildings may require larger electrical capacity than a comparable building with natural gas
appliances. This includes:
♦ Electric resistance VAV space heating in the medium office and common area spaces of the small
hotel.
♦ Heat pump water heating for the guest room spaces of the small hotel.
3.3.2.1 Electrical Panel Sizing and Wiring
This section details the additional electrical panel sizing and wiring required for all-electric measures. In an
all-electric new construction scenario, heat pumps replace packaged DX units which are paired with either
a gas furnace or a hot water coil (supplied by a gas boiler). The electrical requirements of the replacement
heat pump would be the same as the packaged DX unit it replaces, as the electrical requirements would
be driven by the cooling capacity, which would remain the same between the two units.
VAV terminal units with hot water reheat coils that are replaced with electric resistance reheat coils
require additional electrical infrastructure. In the case of electric resistance coils, the Reach Code Team
assumed that on average, a VAV terminal unit serves around 900 ft2 of conditioned space and has a
heating capacity of 5 kW (15 kBtu/hr/ft2). The incremental electrical infrastructure costs were determined
based on RS Means. Calculations for the medium office shown in Figure 13 include the cost to add
electrical panels as well as the cost to add electrical lines to each VAV terminal unit electric resistance coil
in the medium office prototype. Additionally, the Reach Code Team subtracted the electrical
infrastructure costs associated with hot water pumps required in the mixed fuel baseline, which are not
required in the all-electric measures.

The Reach Code Team calculated costs to increase electrical capacity for heat pump water heaters in the
small hotel similarly.

K - Cost per linear foot of electrical line $3.62
L JxK Total electrical line cost $15,402
I + L Total electrical infrastructure incremental cost $27,802
3.3.2.2 Natural Gas
This analysis assumes that in an all-electric new construction scenario natural gas would not be supplied
to the site. Eliminating natural gas in new construction would save costs associated with connecting a
service line from the street main to the building, piping distribution within the building, and monthly
connection charges by the utility.
The Reach Code Team determined that for a new construction building with natural gas piping, there is a
service line (branch connection) from the natural gas main to the building meter. In the medium office
prototype, natural gas piping is routed to the boiler. The Reach Code Team assumed that the boiler is on
the first floor, and that 30 feet of piping is required from the connection to the main to the boiler. The
Reach Code Team assumed 1” corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) material is used for the plumbing
distribution. The Reach Code Team included costs for a natural gas plan review, service extension, and a
gas meter, as shown in Figure 14 below. The natural gas plan review cost is based on information received
from the City of Palo Alto Utilities. The meter costs are from PG&E and include both material and labor.
The service extension costs are based on guidance from PG&E, who noted that the cost range is highly
varied and that there is no “typical” cost, with costs being highly dependent on length of extension,
terrain, whether the building is in a developed or undeveloped area, and number of buildings to be
served. While an actual service extension cost is highly uncertain, the team believes the costs assumed in
this analysis are within a reasonable range based on a sample range of costs provided by PG&E. These
costs assume development in a previously developed area.

3.4 Preempted High Efficiency Appliances
The Reach Code Team developed a package of high efficiency (HE) space and water heating appliances
based on commonly available products for both the mixed-fuel and all-electric scenarios. This package
assesses the standalone contribution that high efficiency measures would make toward achieving high
performance thresholds. The Reach Code Team reviewed the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration
Institute (AHRI) certified product database to estimate appropriate efficiencies.20
The Reach Code Team determined the efficiency increases to be appropriate based on equipment type,
summarized in Figure 15, with cost premiums attained from a Bay Area mechanical contractor. The ranges
in efficiency are indicative of varying federal standard requirements based on equipment size.

Section 4.4 presents the results of the PV-only and PV+Battery analysis.
The TDV and on-bill based cost effectiveness results are presented in terms of B/C ratio and NPV in this
section. What constitutes a ‘benefit’ or a ‘cost’ varies with the scenarios because both energy savings and
incremental construction costs may be negative depending on the package. Typically, utility bill savings
are categorized as a ‘benefit’ while incremental construction costs are treated as ‘costs.’ In cases where
both construction costs are negative and utility bill savings are negative, the construction cost savings are
treated as the ‘benefit’ while the utility bill negative savings are as the ‘cost.’
Overarching factors to keep in mind when reviewing the results include:
♦ To pass the Energy Commission’s application process, local reach codes must both be cost
effective and exceed the energy performance budget using TDV (i.e., have a positive compliance
margin). To emphasize these two important factors, the figures in this Section highlight in green
the modeling results that have either a positive compliance margin or are cost effective. This will
allow readers to identify whether a scenario is fully or partially supportive of a reach code, and
the opportunities/challenges that the scenario presents. Conversely, Section 4.4 only highlights
results that both have a positive compliance margin and are cost effective, to allow readers to
identify reach code-ready scenarios.
♦ Note: Compliance margin represents the proportion of energy usage that is saved compared
to the baseline, measured on a TDV basis.
♦ The Energy Commission does not currently allow compliance credit for either solar PV or battery
storage. Thus, the compliance margins in Packages 1A are the same as 1B, and Package 3A is the
same as 3B. However, The Reach Code Team did include the impact of solar PV and battery when
calculating TDV cost-effectiveness.
♦ When performance modeling residential buildings, the Energy Commission allows the Standard
Design to be electric if the Proposed Design is electric, which removes TDV-related penalties and
associated negative compliance margins. This essentially allows for a compliance pathway for all-
electric residential buildings. Nonresidential buildings are not treated in the same way and are
compared to a mixed-fuel standard design.
♦ Results do not include an analysis and comparison of utility rates. As mentioned in Section 2.2,
The Reach Code Team coordinated with utilities to select tariffs for each prototype given the
annual energy demand profile and the most prevalent rates in each utility territory. The Reach
Code Team did not compare a variety of tariffs to determine their impact on cost effectiveness.
Note that most utility time-of-use rates are continuously updated, which can affect cost
effectiveness results.
♦ As a point of comparison, mixed-fuel baseline energy figures are provided in Appendix 6.5.
4.1 Cost Effectiveness Results – Medium Office
Figure 17 through Figure 23 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Medium Office packages.
Notable findings for each package include:
♦ 1A – Mixed-Fuel + EE: Packages achieve +12 to +20 percent compliance margins depending on
climate zone. All packages are cost effective in all climate zones using the TDV approach. All
packages are cost effective using the On-Bill approach except for LADWP territory.
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
25 2019-07-25
♦ 1B – Mixed-Fuel + EE + PV + B: All packages are cost effective using the On-Bill and TDV
approaches, except On-Bill in LADWP territory. When compared to 1A, the B/C ratio changes
depending on the utility and climate zone (some increase while others decrease). However, NPV
savings are increased across the board, suggesting that larger investments yield larger returns.
♦ 1C – Mixed-Fuel + HE: Packages achieve +3 to +5 percent compliance margins depending on
climate zone, but no packages were cost effective. The incremental costs of a high efficiency
condensing boiler compared to a non-condensing boiler contributes to 26-47% of total
incremental cost depending on boiler size. Benefits of condensing boiler efficiency come from
resetting hot water return temperature as boiler efficiency increases at lower hot water
temperature. However, hot water temperature reset control cannot currently be implemented in
the software. In addition, the natural gas energy cost constitutes no more than 5% of total cost
for 15 climate zones, so improving boiler efficiency has limited contribution to reduction of total
energy cost.
♦ 2 – All-Electric Federal Code-Minimum Reference:
♦ Packages achieve between -27 percent and +1 percent compliance margins depending on
climate zone. This is likely because the modeled system is electric resistance, and TDV values
electricity consumption more heavily than natural gas. This all-electric design without other
efficiency measures does not comply with the Energy Commission’s TDV performance budget.
♦ All incremental costs are negative due to the elimination of natural gas infrastructure.
♦ Packages achieve utility cost savings and are cost effective using the On-Bill approach in CZs 6-
10 and 14-15. Packages do not achieve savings and are not cost effective using the On-Bill
approach in most of PG&E territory (CZs 1,2,4, 11-13, and 16). Packages achieve savings and
are cost effective using TDV in all climate zones except CZ16.
♦ 3A – All-Electric + EE: Packages achieve positive compliance margins except -15 percent in CZ16,
which has a higher space heating load than other climate zones. All packages are cost effective in
all climate zones except CZ16.
♦ 3B – All-Electric + EE + PV + B: Packages achieve positive compliance margins except -15 percent
in CZ16. All packages are cost-effective from a TDV perspective in all climate zones. All packages
are cost effective from an On-Bill perspective in all climate zones except in CZ 2 and CZ 16 in
LADWP territory.
♦ 3C – All-Electric + HE: Packages achieve between -26 percent and +2 percent compliance margins
depending on climate zone. The only packages that are cost effective and with a positive
compliance margin are in CZs 7-9 and 15. As described in Package 1C results, space heating is a
relatively low proportion of energy costs in most climate zones, limiting the costs gains for higher
efficiency equipment.

4.2 Cost Effectiveness Results – Medium Retail
Figure 24 through Figure 30 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Medium Retail packages.
Notable findings for each package include:
♦ 1A – Mixed-Fuel + EE:
♦ Packages achieve +9% to +18% compliance margins depending on climate zone, and all
packages are cost effective in all climate zones.
♦ Incremental package costs vary across climate zones because of the HVAC system size in some
climate zones are small enough (<54 kBtu/h) to have the economizers measure applied.
♦ B/C ratios are high compared to other prototypes because the measures applied are primarily
low-cost lighting measures. This suggests room for the inclusion of other energy efficiency
measures with lower cost-effectiveness to achieve even higher compliance margins for a cost
effective package.
♦ 1B – Mixed-Fuel + EE + PV + B: All packages are cost effective using both the On-Bill and TDV
approach, except On-Bill in LADWP territory. Adding PV and battery to the efficiency packages
reduces the B/C ratio but increases overall NPV savings.
♦ 1C – Mixed-fuel + HE: Packages achieve +1 to +4% compliance margins depending on climate
zone, and packages are cost effective in all climate zones except CZs 1, 3 and 5 using the TDV
approach.
♦ 2 – All-Electric Federal Code-Minimum Reference:
♦ Packages achieve between -12% and +1% compliance margins depending on climate zone.
♦ Packages achieve positive savings using both the On-Bill and TDV approaches in CZs 6-10 and
14-15. Packages do not achieve On-Bill or TDV savings in most of PG&E territory (CZs 1, 2, 4, 5,
12-13, and 16).
♦ Packages are cost effective in all climate zones except CZ16.
♦ All incremental costs are negative primarily due to elimination of natural gas infrastructure.
♦ 3A – All-Electric + EE: Packages achieve between +3% and +16% compliance margins depending
on climate zone. All packages are cost effective in all climate zones.
♦ 3B – All-Electric + EE + PV + B: All packages are cost effective using both the On-Bill and TDV
approaches, except On-Bill in LADWP territory. Adding PV and Battery to the efficiency package
reduces the B/C ratio but increases overall NPV savings.
♦ 3C – All-Electric + HE: Packages achieve between -8% and +5% compliance margins depending on
climate zone, and packages are cost effective using both On-Bill and TDV approaches in all CZs
except CZs 1 and 16.

4.3 Cost Effectiveness Results – Small Hotel
The following issues must be considered when reviewing the Small Hotel results:
♦ The Small Hotel is a mix of residential and nonresidential space types, which results in different
occupancy and load profiles than the office and retail prototypes.
♦ A potential laundry load has not been examined for the Small Hotel. The Reach Code Team
attempted to characterize and apply the energy use intensity of laundry loads in hotels but did
not find readily available data for use. Thus, cost effectiveness including laundry systems has not
been examined.
♦ Contrary to the office and retail prototypes, the Small Hotel baseline water heater is a central gas
storage type. Current compliance software cannot model central heat pump water heater
systems with recirculation serving guest rooms.23 The only modeling option for heat pump water
heating is individual water heaters at each guest room even though this is a very uncommon
configuration. TRC modeled individual heat pump water heaters but as a proxy for central heat
pump water heating performance, but integrated costs associated with tank and controls for
central heat pump water heating into cost effectiveness calculations.
♦ Assuming central heat pump water heating also enabled the inclusion of a solar hot water thermal
collection system, which was a key efficiency measure to achieving compliance in nearly all
climate zones.
Figure 31 through Figure 37 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Small Hotel packages. Notable
findings for each package include:
♦ 1A – Mixed-Fuel + EE:
♦ Packages achieve +3 to +10% compliance margins depending on climate zone.
♦ Packages are cost effective using either the On-Bill or TDV approach in all CZs except 12
(using SMUD rates), 14 (using SCE rates), and 15 (with SCE rates).
♦ The hotel is primarily guest rooms with a smaller proportion of nonresidential space.
Thus, the inexpensive VAV minimum flow measure and lighting measures that have been
applied to the entirety of the Medium Office and Medium Retail prototypes have a
relatively small impact in the Small Hotel.24
♦ 1B – Mixed-Fuel + EE + PV + B: Packages are cost effective using either the On-Bill or TDV
approach in all CZs. Solar PV generally increases cost effectiveness compared to efficiency-only,
particularly when using an NPV metric.
♦ 1C – Mixed-Fuel + HE: Packages achieve +2 to +5% compliance margins depending on climate
zone. The package is cost effective using the On-Bill approach in a minority of climate zones, and
cost effective using TDV approach only in CZ15.
23 The IOUs and CEC are actively working on including central heat pump water heater modeling with recirculation systems in
early 2020.
24 Title 24 requires that hotel/motel guest room lighting design comply with the residential lighting standards, which are all
mandatory and are not awarded compliance credit for improved efficacy.
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
42 2019-07-25
♦ 2 – All-Electric Federal Code-Minimum Reference:
♦ This all-electric design does not comply with the Energy Commission’s TDV performance
budget. Packages achieve between -50% and -4% compliance margins depending on climate
zone. This may be because the modeled HW system is constrained to having an artificially low
efficiency to avoid triggering federal pre-emption, and the heat pump space heating systems
must operate overnight when operation is less efficient.
♦ All packages are cost effective in all climate zones.
♦ 3A – All-Electric + EE: Packages achieve positive compliance margins in all CZs ranging from 0% to
+17%, except CZ16 which had a -18% compliance margin. All packages are cost effective in all
climate zones. The improved degree of cost effectiveness outcomes in Package 3A compared to
Package 1A appear to be due to the significant incremental package cost savings.
♦ 3B – All-Electric + EE + PV + B: All packages are cost effective. Packages improve in B/C ratio when
compared to 3A and increase in magnitude of overall NPV savings. PV appears to be more cost-
effective with higher building electricity loads.
♦ 3C – All-Electric + HE:
♦ Packages do not comply with Title 24 in all CZs except CZ15 which resulted in a +0.04%
compliance margin.
♦ All packages are cost effective.

2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study

4.4 Cost Effectiveness Results – PV-only and PV+Battery
The Reach Code Team ran packages of PV-only and PV+Battery measures, without any additional
efficiency measures, to assess cost effectiveness on top of the mixed-fuel baseline building and the all-
electric federal code minimum reference (Package 2 in Sections 4.1 – 4.3).
Jurisdictions interested in adopting PV-only reach codes should reference the mixed-fuel cost
effectiveness results because a mixed-fuel building is the baseline for the nonresidential prototypes
analyzed in this study. PV or PV+Battery packages are added to all-electric federal code minimum
reference which (in many scenarios) do not have a positive compliance margin compared to the mixed-
fuel baseline model, and are solely provided for informational purposes. Jurisdictions interested in reach
codes requiring all-electric+PV or all-electric+PV+battery should reference package 3B results in Sections
4.1 – 4.3.25
Each of the following eight packages were evaluated against a mixed fuel baseline designed as per 2019
Title 24 Part 6 requirements.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV Only:
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh battery
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV Only: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the annual electricity
consumption, whichever is smaller
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV + 50 kWh Battery: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the
annual electricity consumption, whichever is smaller, along with 50 kWh battery
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV Only
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery
♦ All-Electric + PV Only: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the annual electricity
consumption, whichever is smaller
♦ All-Electric + PV + 50 kWh Battery: PV sized per the roof size of the building, or to offset the
annual electricity consumption, whichever is smaller, along with 50 kWh battery
Figure 38 through Figure 40 summarize the on-bill and TDV B/C ratios for each prototype for the two PV
only packages and the two PV plus battery packages. Compliance margins are 0 percent for all mixed-fuel
packages. For all-electric packages, compliance margins are equal to those found in Package 2 for each
prototype in Sections 4.1 – 4.3. The compliance margins are not impacted by renewables and battery
storage measures and hence not shown in the tables. These figures are formatted in the following way:
♦ Cells highlighted in green have a B/C ratio greater than 1 and are cost-effective. The shade of
green gets darker as cost effectiveness increases.
♦ Cells not highlighted have a B/C ratio less than one and are not cost effective.
25 Because this study shows that the addition of battery generally reduces cost effectiveness, removing a battery
measure would only increase cost effectiveness. Thus, a jurisdiction can apply the EE+PV+Battery cost effectiveness
findings to support EE+PV reach codes, because EE+PV would still remain cost effective without a battery.
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study

Please see Appendix 6.7 for results in full detail. Generally, for mixed-fuel packages across all prototypes,
all climate zones were proven to have cost effective outcomes using TDV except in CZ1 with a 3 kW PV + 5
kWh Battery scenario. Most climate zones also had On-Bill cost effectiveness. The addition of a battery
slightly reduces cost effectiveness.
In all-electric packages, the results for most climate zones were found cost effective using both TDV and
On-Bill approaches with larger PV systems or PV+Battery systems. Most 3 kW PV systems were also found
to be cost effective except in some scenarios analyzing the Medium Office using the On-Bill method. CZ16
results continue to show challenges being cost effective with all electric buildings, likely due to the high
heating loads in this climate. The addition of a battery slightly reduces the cost effectiveness for all-
electric buildings with PV.

5 Summary, Conclusions, and Further Considerations
The Reach Codes Team developed packages of energy efficiency measures as well as packages combining
energy efficiency with PV generation and battery storage systems, simulated them in building modeling
software, and gathered costs to determine the cost effectiveness of multiple scenarios. The Reach Codes
team coordinated assumptions with multiple utilities, cities, and building community experts to develop a
set of assumptions considered reasonable in the current market. Changing assumptions, such as the
period of analysis, measure selection, cost assumptions, energy escalation rates, or utility tariffs are likely
to change results.
5.1 Summary
Figure 41 through Figure 43 summarize results for each prototype and depict the compliance margins
achieved for each climate zone and package. Because local reach codes must both exceed the Energy
Commission performance budget (i.e., have a positive compliance margin) and be cost-effective, the
Reach Code Team highlighted cells meeting these two requirements to help clarify the upper boundary
for potential reach code policies:
♦ Cells highlighted in green depict a positive compliance margin and cost-effective results using
both On-Bill and TDV approaches.
♦ Cells highlighted in yellow depict a positive compliance and cost-effective results using either the
On-Bill or TDV approach.
♦ Cells not highlighted either depict a negative compliance margin or a package that was not cost
effective using either the On-Bill or TDV approach.
For more detail on the results in the Figures, please refer to Section 4 Results. As described in Section 4.4,
PV-only and PV+Battery packages in the mixed-fuel building were found to be cost effective across all
prototypes, climate zones, and packages using the TDV approach, and results are not reiterated in the
following figures.

5.2 Conclusions and Further Considerations
Findings are specific to the scenarios analyzed under this specific methodology, and largely pertain to
office, retail, and hotel-type occupancies. Nonresidential buildings constitute a wide variety of occupancy
profiles and process loads, making findings challenging to generalize across multiple building types.
Findings indicate the following overall conclusions:
1. This study assumed that electrifying space heating and service water heating could eliminate
natural gas infrastructure alone, because these were the only gas end-uses included the
prototypes. Avoiding the installation of natural gas infrastructure results in significant cost savings
and is a primary factor toward cost-effective outcomes in all-electric designs, even with necessary
increases in electrical capacity.
2. There is ample opportunity for cost effective energy efficiency improvements, as demonstrated
by the compliance margins achieved in many of the efficiency-only and efficiency + PV packages.
Though much of the energy savings are attributable to lighting measures, efficiency measures
selected for these prototypes are confined to the building systems that can be modeled. There is
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
59 2019-07-25
likely further opportunity for energy savings through measures that cannot be currently
demonstrated in compliance software, such as high-performance control sequences or variable
speed parallel fan powered boxes.
3. High efficiency appliances triggering federal preemption do not achieve as high compliance
margins as the other efficiency measures analyzed in this study. Cost effectiveness appears to be
dependent on the system type and building type. Nonetheless, specifying high efficiency
equipment will always be a key feature in integrated design.
4. Regarding the Small Hotel prototype:
a. The Small Hotel presents a challenging prototype to cost-effectively exceed the state’s
energy performance budget without efficiency measures. The Reach Code Team is
uncertain of the precision of the results due to the inability to directly model either drain
water heat recovery or a central heat pump water heater with a recirculation loop.
b. Hotel results may be applicable to high-rise (4 or more stories) multifamily buildings. Both
hotel and multifamily buildings have the same or similar mandatory and prescriptive
compliance options for hot water systems, lighting, and envelope. Furthermore, the
Alternate Calculation Method Reference Manual specifies the same baseline HVAC system
for both building types.
c. Hotel compliance margins were the lowest among the three building types analyzed, and
thus the most conservative performance thresholds applicable to other nonresidential
buildings not analyzed in this study. As stated previously, the varying occupancy and
energy profiles of nonresidential buildings makes challenging to directly apply these
results across all buildings.
5. Many all-electric and solar PV packages demonstrated greater GHG reductions than their mixed-
fuel counterparts, contrary to TDV-based performance, suggesting a misalignment among the TDV
metric and California’s long-term GHG-reduction goals. The Energy Commission has indicated that
they are aware of this issue and are seeking to address it.
6. Changes to the Nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method (ACM) Reference Manual can
drastically impact results. Two examples include:
a. When performance modeling residential buildings, the Standard Design is electric if the
Proposed Design is electric, which removes TDV-related penalties and associated negative
compliance margins. This essentially allows for a compliance pathway for all-electric
residential buildings. If nonresidential buildings were treated in the same way, all-electric
cost effectiveness using the TDV approach would improve.
b. The baseline mixed-fuel system for a hotel includes a furnace in each guest room, which
carries substantial plumbing costs and labor costs for assembly. A change in the baseline
system would lead to different base case costs and different cost effectiveness outcomes.
7. All-electric federal code-minimum packages appear to be cost effective, largely due to avoided
natural gas infrastructure, but in most cases do not comply with the Energy Commission’s
minimum performance budget (as described in item 7a above). For most cases it appears that
adding cost-effective efficiency measures achieves compliance. All-electric nonresidential projects
can leverage the initial cost savings of avoiding natural gas infrastructure by adding energy
efficiency measures that would not be cost effective independently.

6.3 Drain Water Heat Recovery Measure Analysis
To support potential DWHR savings in the Small Hotel prototype, the Reach Code Team modeled the drain
water heat recovery measure in CBECC-Res 2019 in the all-electric and mixed fuel 6,960 ft2 prototype
residential buildings. The Reach Code Team assumed one heat recovery device for every three showers
assuming unequal flow to the shower. Based on specifications from three different drain water heat
recovery device manufacturers for device effectiveness in hotel applications, the team assumed a heat
recovery efficiency of 50 percent.
The Reach Code Team modeled mixed fuel and all-electric residential prototype buildings both with and
without heat recovery in each climate zone. Based on these model results, the Reach Code Team
determined the percentage savings of domestic water heating energy in terms of gas, electricity, and TDV
for mixed fuel and all-electric, in each climate zone. The Reach Code Team then applied the savings

percentages to the Small Hotel prototype domestic water heating energy in both the mixed-fuel and all-
electric to determine energy savings for the drain water heat recovery measure in the Small Hotel. The
Reach Code Team applied volumetric energy rates to estimate on-bill cost impacts from this measure.
6.4 Utility Rate Schedules

6.6 Hotel TDV Cost Effectiveness with Propane Baseline
The Reach Codes Team further analyzed TDV cost effectiveness of the all-electric packages with a mixed-
fuel design baseline using propane instead of natural gas. Results for each package are shown in Figure
50. through Figure 53. below.
All electric models compared to a propane baseline have positive compliance margins in all climate zones
when compared to results using a natural gas baseline. Compliance margin improvement is roughly 30
percent, which also leads to improved cost effectiveness for the all-electric packages. These outcomes are
likely due to the TDV penalty associated with propane when compared to natural gas.
2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study
66 2019-07-25
Across packages, TDV cost effectiveness with a propane baseline follows similar trends as the natural gas
baseline. Adding efficiency measures increased compliance margins by 3 to 10 percent depending on
climate zone, while adding high efficiency HVAC and SHW equipment alone increased compliance margins
by smaller margins of about 2 to 4 percent compared to the All-Electric package.

2019 Nonresidential New Construction Reach Code Cost Effectiveness Study

6.7 PV-only and PV+Battery-only Cost Effectiveness Results Details
The Reach Code Tea evaluated cost effectiveness of installing a PV system and battery storage in six different measure combinations over a 2019
code-compliant baseline for all climate zones. The baseline for all nonresidential buildings is a mixed-fuel design.
All mixed fuel models are compliant with 2019 Title24, whereas all electric models can show negative compliance. The compliance margin is the
same as that of their respective federal minimum design and is not affected by addition of solar PV or battery. These scenarios evaluate the cost
effectiveness of PV and/or battery measure individually. The climate zones where all-electric design is not compliant will have the flexibility to
ramp up the efficiency of appliance or add another measure to be code compliant, as per package 1B and 3B in main body of the report. The large
negative lifecycle costs in all electric packages are due to lower all-electric HVAC system costs and avoided natural gas infrastructure costs. This is
commonly applied across all climate zones and packages over any additional costs for PV and battery.
6.7.1 Cost Effectiveness Results – Medium Office
Figure 54 through Figure 61 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Medium Office packages. Notable findings for each package include:
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV Only: All packages are cost effective using the On-Bill and TDV approaches.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery: The packages are mostly cost effective on a TDV basis except in CZ1. As compared to the 3 kW PV
only package, battery reduces cost effectiveness. This package is not cost effective for LADWP and SMUD territories using an On-Bill
approach.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV only: The packages are less cost effective as compared to 3 kW PV packages in most climate zones. In areas served by
LADWP, the B/C ratio is narrowly less than 1 and not cost effective.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV + 50 kWh Battery: The packages are cost effective in all climate zones except for in the areas served by LADWP. On-Bill
and TDV B/C ratios are slightly lower compared to the PV only package.
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV: Packages are on-bill cost effective in ten of sixteen climate zones. Climate zones 1,2,4,12, and 16 were not found to
be cost-effective from an on-bill perspective. These zones are within PG&E’s service area. Packages are cost effective using TDV in all
climate zones except CZ16.
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery: Packages are slightly more cost effective than the previous minimal PV only package. Packages are
on-bill cost effective in most climate zones except for 1,2 and 16 from an on-bill perspective. These zones are within PG&E’s service area.
Packages are cost effective using TDV in all climate zones except CZ16.
♦ All-Electric + PV only: All packages are cost effective and achieve savings using the On-Bill and TDV approaches.

♦ All-Electric + PV + 50 kWh Battery: All packages are cost effective and achieve savings using the On-Bill and TDV approaches. On-Bill and
TDV B/C ratios are slightly lower compared to the PV only package.

6.7.2 Cost Effectiveness Results – Medium Retail
Figure 62 through Figure 69 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Medium Retail packages. Notable findings for each package include:
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV: Packages are cost effective and achieve savings for all climate zones using the On-Bill and TDV approaches.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery: The packages are less cost effective as compared to the 3 kW PV only package and not cost
effective for LADWP and SMUD service area.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV only: Packages achieve positive energy cost savings and are cost effective using the On-Bill approach for all climate zones
except for LADWP territory (CZs 6, 8, 9 and 16). Packages achieve positive savings and are cost effective using the TDV approach for all
climate zones.
♦ Mixed Fuel + PV + 5 kWh Battery: Adding battery slightly reduces On-Bill B/C ratios but is still cost effective for all climate zones except
for LADWP territory. Packages achieve savings and cost effective using the TDV approach for all climate zones.
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV: Packages are cost effective using the On-Bill and TDV approach for all climate zones except for CZ16 under PG&E
service.
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery: Similar to minimal PV only package, adding battery is cost effective as well using the On-Bill and
TDV approach for all climate zones except for CZ16 under PG&E service.
♦ All-Electric + PV only: Packages are cost effective and achieve savings in all climate zones for both the On-Bill and TDV approaches
♦ All-Electric + PV + 50 kWh Battery: Adding battery slightly reduces B/C ratios for both the On-Bill and TDV approaches. Packages are not
cost effective for all climate zones except CZ6, CZ8 and CZ9 under LADWP service area.

6.7.3 Cost Effectiveness Results – Small Hotel
Figure 70 through Figure 77 contain the cost-effectiveness findings for the Small Hotel packages. Notable findings for each package include:
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV: Packages are cost effective and achieve savings for all climate zones for both the On-Bill and TDV approaches.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery: The packages are less cost effective as compared to the previous minimal PV only package and
not cost effective for LADWP and SMUD service area. The addition of battery reduces the cost effectiveness of packages.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV only: Packages are cost effective and achieve savings for the On-Bill approach for all climate zones except for LADWP
territory. Packages are cost effective and achieve savings for the TDV approach for all climate zones.
♦ Mixed-Fuel + PV + 50 kWh Battery: Adding battery slightly reduces On-Bill B/C ratios. Packages are not cost effective for LADWP territory,
SMUD territory as well as for climate zones 6,8,9 under PG&E service area.
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV: All packages are cost effective using the On-Bill approach. All packages are cost effective using the TDV approach
but do not achieve positive energy cost savings.
♦ All-Electric + 3 kW PV + 5 kWh Battery: Similar to minimal PV only package, all packages are cost effective using the On-Bill approach. All
packages are cost effective using the TDV approach but do not achieve positive energy cost savings.
♦ All-Electric + PV only: All packages are cost effective for both On-Bill and TDV approaches. Packages achieve on-bill savings for all climate
zones.
♦ All-Electric + PV + 50 kWh Battery: Adding battery slightly reduces On-Bill B/C ratios but is still cost effective for all climate zones.

6.8 List of Relevant Efficiency Measures Explored
The Reach Code Team started with a potential list of energy efficiency measures proposed for 2022 Title 24 codes and standards enhancement
measures, as well as measures from the 2018 International Green Construction Code, which is based on ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2017. The team
also developed new measures based on their experience. This original list was over 100 measures long. The measures were filtered based on
applicability to the prototypes in this study, ability to model in simulation software, previously demonstrated energy savings potential, and market
readiness. The list of 28 measures below represent the list of efficiency measures that meet these criteria and were investigated to some degree.
The column to the far right indicates whether the measure was ultimately included in analysis or not.
Figure 78. List of Relevant Efficiency Measures Explored
Building Component Measure Name Measure Description Notes Include?
Water Heating Drain water Heat Recovery Add drain water heat recovery in hotel prototype Requires calculations outside of modeling software. Y
Envelope High performance fenestration Improved fenestration SHGC (reduce to 0.22). Y
Envelope High SHGC for cold climates Raise prescriptive fenestration SHGC (to 0.45) in cold
climates where additional heat is beneficial. Y
Envelope Allowable fenestration by
orientation Limit amount of fenestration as a function of orientation Y
Envelope High Thermal Mass Buildings
Increase building thermal mass. Thermal mass slows the
change in internal temperature of buildings with respect
to the outdoor temperature, allowing the peak cooling
load during summer to be pushed to the evening,
resulting in lower overall cooling loads.
Initial energy modeling results showed marginal
cooling savings, negative heating savings. N
Envelope Opaque Insulation Increases the insulation requirement for opaque
envelopes (i.e., roof and above-grade wall).
Initial energy modeling results showed marginal
energy savings at significant costs which would not
meet c/e criteria.
N
Envelope Triple pane windows U-factor of 0.20 for all windows
Initial energy modeling results showed only marginal
energy savings and, in some cases, increased energy
use.

Envelope Duct Leakage Testing
Expand duct leakage testing requirements based
on ASHRAE Standard 215-2018: Method of Test to
Determine Leakage of Operating HVAC Air Distribution
Systems (ANSI Approved).
More research needs to be done on current duct
leakage and how it can be addressed. N
Envelope Fenestration area Reduce maximum allowable fenestration area to 30%.
Instead of this measure, analyzed measure which
looked at limiting fenestration based on wall
orientation.
N
Envelope Skinny triple pane windows U-factor of 0.20 for all windows, with no changes to
existing framing or building structure.
Market not ready. No commercially-available
products for commercial buildings. N
Envelope Permanent projections
Detailed prescriptive requirements for shading based on
ASHRAE 189. PF >0.50 for first story and >0.25 for other
floors. Many exceptions. Corresponding SHGC multipliers
to be used.
Title 24 already allows owner to trade off SHGC with
permanent projections. Also, adding requirements for
permanent projections would raise concerns.
N
Envelope Reduced infiltration Reduce infiltration rates by improving building sealing.
Infiltration rates are a fixed ACM input and cannot be
changed. A workaround attempt would not be
precise, and the practicality of implementation by
developers is low given the modeling capabilities and
the fact that in-field verification is challenging.
Benefits would predominantly be for air quality rather
than energy.

HVAC Heat recovery ventilation For the hotel, recover and transfer heat from exhausted
air to ventilation air.
For small hotels, the ventilation requirement could be
met by various approaches, and the most common
ones are:
a. Exhaust only system, and ventilation is met by
infiltration or window operation.
b. Through a Z-duct that connects the zone AC
unit’s intake to an outside air intake louver.
c. Centralized ventilation system (DOAS)
The prototype developed for the small hotel is using
Type 2 above. The major consideration is that
currently, HRV + PTACs cannot be modeled at each
guest room, only at the rooftop system. Option 1
would require the same type of HRV implementation
as Option 2. Option 3 may be pursuable, but would
require a significant redesign of the system, with
questionable impacts. Previous studies have found
heat recovery as cost effective in California only in
buildings with high loads or high air exchange rates,
given the relatively mild climate.
N
HVAC Require Economizers in Smaller
Capacity Systems
Lower the capacity trigger for air economizers. Previous
studies have shown cost effectiveness for systems as low
as 3 tons.
Y
HVAC Reduce VAV minimum flow limit
Current T24 and 90.1 requirements limit VAV minimum
flow rates to no more than 20% of maximum flow.
Proposal based on ASHRAE Guideline 36 which includes
sequences that remove technical barriers that previously
existed. Also, most new DDC controllers are now capable
of lower limits. The new limit may be as low as the
required ventilation rate. A non-energy benefit of this
measure is a reduction in over-cooling, thus improving
comfort.

HVAC Building Automation System (BAS)
improvements
With adoption of ASHRAE Guideline 36 (GDL-36), there is
now a national consensus standard for the description of
high-performance sequences of operation. This measure
will update BAS control requirements to improve
usability and enforcement and to increase energy
efficiency. BAS control requirement language will be
improved either by adoption of similar language to GDL-
36, or reference to GDL-36. Specific T24 BAS control
topics that will be addressed include at a minimum: DCV,
demand-based reset of SAT, demand-based reset of SP,
dual-maximum zone sequences, and zone groups for
scheduling.
In order to realize any savings in the difference, we
would need a very detailed energy model with space-
by-space load/occupant diversity, etc. We would also
need more modeling capability than is currently
available in CBECC-Com.
N
HVAC Fault Detection Devices (FDD)
Expand FDD requirements to a wider range of AHU faults
beyond the economizer. Fault requirements will be based
on NIST field research, which has consequently been
integrated into ASHRAE Guideline 36 Best in Class
Sequences of Operations. Costs are solely to develop the
sequences, which is likely minimal, and much of the
hardware required for economizer FDD is also used to
detect other faults.
Market not ready. N
HVAC Small circulator pumps ECM, trim

Hot water pump energy use is small already (<1%

Lighting Reduced Interior Lighting Power
Density Reduced interior LPD values. Y
Lighting Shift from general to task
illumination
Low levels of general illumination with task and accent
lighting added to locations where higher light levels are
required. The shift from general to task illumination
measure is based on the assumption that proper lighting
of a desk surface with high efficacy lighting can allow for
the significant reduction of ambient general lighting.
This is a tough measure to require as the LPDs
decrease. N
Lighting Future-proof lighting controls
Fill any holes in the current code that could lead to the
situations where TLEDS or LED fixtures that are not
dimmable or upgradable in the future, or any other issues
with code that make it hard to transition to ALCS/IoT
lighting in the future
Major lighting controls already covered in other
measures being considered N
Lighting Integrated control of lighting and
HVAC systems
Formalize the definition of "lighting and HVAC control
integration" by defining the level of data sharing required
between systems and the mechanism needed to share
such data. The highest savings potential would likely be
generated from VAV HVAC systems by closing the
damper in unoccupied zones based on the occupancy
sensor information from the lighting systems.
Not market ready enough. N
Other NR Plug Load Controls
Energy savings opportunities for plug loads, which may
include: energy efficient equipment, equipment power
management, occupancy sensor control, and occupant
awareness programs. The proposal could be extending
controlled receptacles requirements in Section 130.5(d)
to more occupancy types. It would also consider circuit-
level controls.
Office equipment now all have their own standby
power modes that use very little power, making plug
load controls very difficult to be cost-effective.

6.9 Additional Rates Analysis - Healdsburg
After the final version of the report was released, the Reach Code Team provided additional cost effectiveness analysis in Climate Zone 2 using
City of Healdsburg electric utility rates and PG&E gas rates. All aspects of the methodology remain the same, and the results for each package and
prototype are aggregated below in Figure 79 through Figure 81. Results generally indicate:
♦ Mixed fuel prototypes achieve positive compliance margins for EE packages and are cost effective.
♦ All-electric prototypes achieve slightly lower compliance margins than mixed fuel for EE packages and are cost effective.
♦ All PV and PV+Battery packages are cost effective both using an on-bill and TDV approach.

1 Introduction
The California Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) is maintained and updated every three
years by two state agencies: the California Energy Commission (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 Title 24, Part 6). Local jurisdictions that adopt
energy conservation amendments or ordinances as the term is used in PRC 25402.1(h2) must demonstrate that the
requirements of the proposed ordinance are cost-effective according to the local jurisdiction criteria and do not result in
buildings consuming more energy than is permitted by Title 24. For energy conservation amendments, the jurisdiction
must obtain approval from the Energy Commission and file the ordinance with the BSC for the ordinance to be legally
enforceable.
This report documents cost-effective combinations of measures that exceed the minimum state requirements, the 2019
Building Energy Efficiency Standards, effective January 1, 2020, for design in newly constructed buildings. 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 Reach Code Team.
The Reach Code Team published nonresidential new construction studies in 2019 that documented the cost-
effectiveness of energy measure packages for Medium Office, Medium Retail, and Small Hotel prototypes (Statewide
Utility Team, 2020). Based on stakeholder requests, this report extends that analysis to the Large Office new
construction prototype.
The United States 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 measures 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: Large Office 2 Methodology and Assumptions
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-10-13
2 Methodology and Assumptions
The Reach Code Team analyzed the large office prototype using the general cost-effectiveness methodology
described in this section.
Cost-Effectiveness
This section describes the approach to calculating cost-effectiveness including benefits, costs, metrics, and utility rate
selection.
2.1.1 Benefits
This analysis used both on-bill and time dependent valuation (TDV) of energy-based approaches to evaluate cost-
effectiveness. Both on-bill and TDV require quantifying the energy savings and costs associated with energy
measures. The primary difference between on-bill and TDV is how energy is valued:
• On-bill: Customer-based lifecycle cost approach that values energy based upon estimated site energy usage and
customer on-bill savings using electricity and natural gas utility rate schedules over a 15-year duration for
nonresidential buildings, accounting for a three percent discount rate and energy cost inflation per Appendix 7.2.
• TDV: TDV was developed by the Energy Commission to reflect the time dependent value of energy including long-
term projected costs of energy, such as the cost of providing energy during peak periods of demand and other
societal costs including projected costs for carbon emissions and grid transmission impacts. With the TDV
approach, electricity used (or saved) during peak periods has a much higher value than electricity used (or saved)
during off-peak periods. This metric values energy use differently depending on the fuel source (natural gas,
electricity, and propane), time of day, and season.
The Reach Code Team performed energy simulations using the most recent software available for 2019 Title 24 code
compliance analysis, California Building Energy Code Compliance for Commercial/Nonresidential Buildings (CBECC-
Com) 2019.1.3. The Reach Code Team also tested the 2022 weather files and 2022 TDV multipliers using CBECC-
Com 2022 software for most results to understand potential impacts on cost-effectiveness.
2.1.2 Costs
The Reach Code Team assessed the incremental costs and savings of the energy packages over the 15 years for
nonresidential prototypes. Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacements, and maintenance
costs of the proposed measure relative to the 2019 Title 24 Standards minimum requirements or standard industry
practices. The Reach Code Team obtained measure costs from manufacturer distributors, contractors, literature
review, and online sources, such as Home Depot and RS Means. Taxes and contractor markups were added as
appropriate. Maintenance and replacement costs are included.
2.1.3 Metrics
Cost-effectiveness is presented using net present value (NPV) and benefit-to-cost (B/C) ratio metrics.
• NPV: The Reach Code Team uses net savings (NPV benefits minus NPV costs) as the cost-effectiveness metric. If
the net savings of a measure or package is positive, it is considered cost-effective. Negative savings represent net
costs. A measure that has negative energy cost benefits (energy cost increase) can still be cost-effective if the
costs to implement the measure are even more negative (i.e., construction and maintenance cost savings).
• B/C ratio: The ratio of the present value of all benefits to the present value of all costs over 15 years (NPV benefits
divided by NPV costs). The criteria for cost-effectiveness is a B/C ratio greater than 1.0. A value of 1.0 indicates
the savings over the life of the measure are equivalent to the incremental cost of that measure. A value greater
than one represents a positive return on investment.
Improving the energy performance of a building often requires an initial investment. In most cases the benefit is
represented by annual on-bill utility or TDV savings, and the cost by incremental first cost and replacement costs.
However, some packages result in initial construction cost savings (negative incremental cost), and either energy cost
Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Large Office 3 Methodology and Assumptions
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-10-13
savings (positive benefits), or increased energy costs (negative benefits). In cases where both incremental construction
cost 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 cost-effective immediately (i.e., upfront
construction cost savings and lifetime energy cost savings), B/C ratio cost-effectiveness is represented by “>1”.
Because of these situations, NPV savings are also reported, which, in these cases, are positive values.
2.1.4 Utility Rates
In coordination with the rate specialists at each IOU, and the publicly available information for several Publicly-Owned
Utilities (POUs), the Reach Code Team determined appropriate utility rate for each measure package (see Appendix
7.2 for details). The utility tariffs were determined based on the annual load profile of each prototype and the
corresponding package, the most prevalent rate in each territory, and information assuring that the rate was not
planned to be phased out. For some prototypes there are multiple options for rates because of the varying load profiles
of mixed-fuel buildings versus all-electric buildings. If more than one rate schedule is applicable for a particular load
profile, the Reach Code Team did not attempt to compare or test a variety of tariffs to determine their impact on cost-
effectiveness. Utility rates were applied to each climate zone (CZ) based on the predominant IOU serving the
population of each zone according to Figure 1.
A time-of-use (TOU) rate was applied to all cases. In addition to energy consumption charges, there are kW demand
charges for monthly peak loads. Utilities calculate the peak load by the highest kW of the 15-minute interval readings in
the month. However, the energy modeling software produces results on hourly intervals, hence TRC calculated the
demand charges by multiplying the highest load of all hourly loads in a month with the corresponding demand charge
per kW. For cases with PV generation, the approved NEM2 (Net Energy Metering) tariffs were applied along with
minimum daily use billing and mandatory non-bypassable charges. For the PV cases, annual electric production was
always less than annual electricity consumption; and therefore, no credits for surplus generation were necessary.

Utility rates are assumed to escalate over time, using assumptions from research conducted by Energy and
Environmental Economics (E3) in the 2019 study Residential Building Electrification in California (Energy &
Environmental Economics, 2019) and escalation rates used in the development of the 2022 TDV multipliers (Energy &
Environmental Economics, 2021). See Appendix 7.2 Utility Rate Schedules for additional details.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The analysis uses the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions multipliers developed by E3 (Energy & Environmental
Economics, 2021). E3 developed the multipliers to support development of compliance metrics for use in the 2022 Title
24. There are 8,760 hourly multipliers accounting for GHG source emissions, including Renewable Portfolio Standards,
methane leakage, and refrigerant leakage. There are 32 strings of multipliers, with a different string for each California
Climate Zone and each fuel type (electricity and natural gas). The Reach Code Team used the multipliers to calculate
emissions from both the 2019 and 2022 simulation results.

3 Prototype Description, Measure Packages, and Costs
This section describes the prototype and analysis method, drawing from previous 2019 Reach Code research where
necessary. The Reach Code Team used a modified version of the DOE building prototype to evaluate cost-
effectiveness of measure packages, after initializing the prototypes to comply with 2019 Title 24 new construction
requirements, to reflect a prescriptively compliant new construction building in each CZ.
The 2019 Nonresidential Reach Code Cost-Effectiveness Study (Statewide Utility Team, 2020) examined the Medium
Office prototype for mixed-fuel plus efficiency, all-electric plus efficiency, and demand flexibility measure packages
(Statewide Reach Code Team 2019a). The Medium Office was a 53,000 ft2 building, and representatives from
jurisdictions planning to use the results to inform the development of local ordinances were unsure whether findings
would apply to larger office buildings. In response, the Reach Code Team builds on the 2019 study by examining a
Large Office prototype in this report.
Prototype Characteristics
Figure 2 summarizes the basic geometry and features of the Large Office. For the purposes of this study, the number
of above-grade floors were reduced from the DOE prototype from ten to five at the request of jurisdictions to more
accurately represent their building stock, which also reduces the total conditioned floor area. The Reach Code Team
would not expect results to vary significantly compared to a ten-story office due to similar building characteristics and
systems, just at a larger scale.
The baseline HVAC system includes two natural gas hot water boilers, two chillers and two cooling towers, one built up
rooftop unit per floor, and variable air volume (VAV) hot water reheat boxes. The SHW design includes one 20.12 kW
electric resistance hot water heater with a 70-gal storage tank.

3.2.1 All-Electric
For the Large Office all-electric HVAC design, as with the Medium Office, the Reach Code Team selected a VAV
system with an electric resistance reheat instead of hot water reheat coil. An alternative all-electric design that is
designed frequently in large offices is a central heat recovery chiller and water heater serving hot water reheat coils.
While this system can perform very efficiently, as of October 2021 it cannot be modeled in CBECC-Com (though the
Energy Commission intends on adding this functionality in the near term). Actual energy consumption for the VAV hot
water reheat baseline may be higher than the current simulation results show due to a combination of boiler and hot
water distribution losses. A recent research study shows that the total losses can account for as much as 80 percent of
the boiler energy use (Raftery, Geronazzo, Cheng, and Paliaga, 2018). If these losses are considered savings for the

electric resistance reheat (which has no associated distribution losses) compared to the mixed-fuel baseline, the
savings may be higher.
Cost data for the Large Office prototype are presented in Figure 3. The all-electric HVAC system presents cost savings
compared to the hot water reheat system from elimination of the hot water boiler and associated hot water piping
distribution. Chiller, chilled-water piping, and controls cost are not presented as they are assumed to be the same for
both the mixed-fuel and all-electric scenarios. The all-electric SHW system remains the same electric resistance water
heater as the baseline and has no associated incremental costs.

3.2.2 Efficiency
Efficiency measures are the same as those from the 2019 Nonresidential Reach Code Cost-Effectiveness Study
(Statewide Reach Codes Team 2019a) for the Medium Office, which are primarily lighting measures but also include
envelope and HVAC measures. Please refer to Appendix 7.3 Efficiency Measures for Large Office for cost information
reproduced from the 2019 study.
3.2.3 Solar PV
The Reach Code Team estimated a large PV system size at 15 W/ft2 covering 50 percent of the roof area. This
approach assumes that the other 50 percent of the roof is for skylights, mechanical equipment, and walking paths.
Figure 4 shows the percent of electricity offset by PV for both mixed-fuel and all-electric buildings over their respective
federal minimum design package.

The Reach Code Team examined the following packages:
• Large Office Baseline Package: Mixed-fuel prescriptively built building.
• All-Electric (AE): Including electric appliances that meet federal minimum efficiency criteria, as well as electrical
upgrades, such as on-site secondary transformers. All other aspects of the building are prescriptively built.
• All-Electric + Efficiency (AE Eff): All-electric, including efficiency measures. See Appendix 7.3 Efficiency Measures
for Large Office for details.
• All-Electric + Efficiency + Solar PV (AE Eff PV): All-electric, including efficiency measures and a solar PV array.

4 Results
TDV and on-bill based cost-effectiveness results are presented in terms of B/C ratio and NPV savings. What
constitutes a ‘benefit’ or a ‘cost’ varies with the scenarios because both energy savings and incremental construction
costs may be negative depending on the package. Typically, on-bill savings are categorized as a ‘benefit’ while
incremental construction costs are treated as ‘costs.’ In cases where both construction costs and on-bill savings are
negative; the construction cost savings are treated as the ‘benefit’ while the on-bill negative savings are the ‘cost.’
Overarching factors to keep in mind when reviewing the results include:
• All-electric packages will have lower GHG emissions than mixed-fuel packages in all cases, due to the clean
power sources currently available from California’s power providers.
• To be approved by the Energy Commission’s application process, local reach codes that amend the energy code
must both be cost-effective compared to the mixed-fuel baseline package and exceed the energy performance
budget using TDV (i.e., have a positive compliance margin) compared to the standard design in the compliance
software. To emphasize these two important factors, the figures in this section highlight in green the modeling
results that have either a positive compliance margin or are cost-effective. This will allow readers to identify
whether a scenario is fully or partially supportive of a reach code. When a modeling result is not cost-effective, it is
highlighted in red. Section 5 highlights only results that have both a positive compliance margin and are cost-
effective, to allow readers to identify reach code-ready scenarios.
• Nonresidential buildings do not have an all-electric prescriptive design pathway and are compared to a mixed-
fuel standard design for most occupancies. Because of current policy metrics, this comparison typically results in
TDV-related penalties and associated negative compliance margins. These negative compliance margins are
reflected in the ‘baseline’ all-electric packages, and must be overcome with the addition of building energy
efficiency measures.
• The Energy Commission does not currently allow compliance credit for solar PV in nonresidential buildings.
Thus, compliance margins for nonresidential packages containing these technologies are the same as packages
without. However, the Reach Code Team did include the impact of solar PV when calculating overall TDV cost-
effectiveness.
• As mentioned in Section 2.1.4, The Reach Code Team coordinated with utilities to select tariffs given the annual
energy demand profile and the most prevalent rates in each utility territory. The Reach Code Team did not
compare a variety of tariffs to determine their impact on cost-effectiveness although utility rate changes or
updates can effect on-bill cost-effectiveness results.
• As a point of comparison, mixed-fuel baseline energy figures are provided in Appendix 7.4 Mixed-Fuel Baseline
Energy Figures.
• The cost-effectiveness results for 2022 analysis differs from 2019 mainly in TDV savings, but also differs slightly in
energy consumption which translates in minor difference in on-bill energy savings. The Reach Code Team has not
reported the 2022 Energy Code compliance margin outputs as the compliance software has not yet been
updated to reflect the 2022 Energy Code.
Because there is no all-electric prescriptive pathway for nonresidential buildings under the 2019 Energy Code, Figure 5
shows negative compliance margins in all CZs when replacing natural gas HVAC equipment with all-electric. The
addition of cost-effective energy efficiency measures—with lighting delivering the most savings—yields positive
compliance margins in all CZs except the coldest (CZs 1 and 16). The construction cost savings of using electric HVAC
results in cost-effective all-electric efficiency packages in most CZs, and efficiency + solar PV packages in all CZs, as
shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, respectively.

Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Large Office 12 Results
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-10-13
The Reach Code Team tested the All-Electric + Efficiency package in 2022 software to ascertain potential
improvements in cost-effectiveness resulting from 2022 weather files and TDV, because the TDV intensity of electricity
usage is lower in 2022 versus 2019 TDV (i.e., electricity usage has become less valuable, and thus electrification may
be less penalized in the compliance software). Figure 8 depicts the growing TDV intensity of gas and the lower
intensity of electricity for the Large Office when comparing the 2022 annual TDV consumption of the mixed-fuel
baseline to the 2019 annual TDV consumption. The overall 2022 TDV energy consumption is lower than 2019.
Figure 8. Annual TDV Energy Consumption Mixed-Fuel Baseline, 2019 and 2022
Figure 9 shows that the 2022 TDV savings of the All-Electric + Eff packages are lower than 2019 for all CZs except
CZ3. This may be because the 1) overall TDV consumption of the mixed-fuel baseline is lower in 2022, as shown
above, and thus the available savings are also smaller, and 2) the largest energy efficiency gains are resulting from
lighting measure electricity savings, and these savings are less valued under 2022 TDV.

Cost-effectiveness Analysis: Large Office 15 Summary of Results
localenergycodes.com California Energy Codes & Standards | A statewide utility program 2021-10-13
5 Summary of Results
The Reach Code Team developed packages of energy efficiency measures as well as packages combining energy
efficiency with PV generation and battery storage systems, simulated them in CBECC-Com, and gathered costs to
determine the cost-effectiveness of multiple scenarios. The Reach Code Team coordinated assumptions with multiple
utilities, cities, and building community experts to develop a set of assumptions considered reasonable in the current
market. Changing assumptions, such as the period of analysis, measure selection, cost assumptions, energy
escalation rates, or utility tariffs are likely to change results.
Figure 11 summarizes results for the Large Office prototype and depicts the compliance margins achieved for each CZ
and package. Because local reach codes must both exceed the Energy Commission performance budget (i.e., have a
positive compliance margin) and be cost-effective, the Reach Code Team highlighted cells meeting these two
requirements to help clarify the upper boundary for potential reach code policies:
• Cells highlighted in green depict a positive compliance margin and cost-effective results using both on-bill and TDV
approaches.
• Cells highlighted in yellow depict a positive compliance and cost-effective results using either the on-bill or TDV
approach.
• Cells not highlighted either depict a negative compliance margin or a package that was not cost-effective using
either the on-bill or TDV approach.
The Reach Code Team found that electrifying Large Office HVAC and adding efficiency measures is generally cost-
effective. The all-electric plus energy efficiency packages are cost-effective in all CZs except 1, 2, 5-2 (SoCalGas), 14-
2 (SCE), and 16. Adding solar PV makes the efficiency packages cost-effective in all CZs, though do not achieve
positive compliance margins in CZs 1 and 16. Reach codes may require all-electric large offices in all CZs except 1
and 16, but must include solar PV requirements in CZs 2, 5-2, and 14-2.

Efficiency Measures for Large Office
The Reach Code Team applied the efficiency measures from the 2019 Nonresidential Reach Code Cost-Effectiveness
Study to the Large Office. These measures are listed below. Refer to Figure 15 for cost information reproduced from
the 2019 study.
• Modify SHGC fenestration: In all CZs, Reduce window SHGC from the prescriptive value of 0.25 to 0.22. The
fenestration visible transmittance and U-factor remain at prescriptive values.
• Fenestration as a function of orientation: Limit the amount of fenestration area as a function of orientation. East-
facing and west-facing windows are each limited to one-half of the average amount of north-facing and south-
facing windows.
• VAV box minimum flow: Reduce VAV box minimum airflows from the current T24 prescriptive requirement of 20
percent of maximum (design) airflow to the T24 zone ventilation minimums.1
• Interior lighting reduced LPD: Reduce LPD by 15 percent.
• Institutional tuning: Limit the maximum output or maximum power draw of lighting to 85 percent of full light output
or full power draw.
• Daylight dimming plus off: Turn daylight-controlled lights completely off when the daylight available in the daylit
zone is greater than 150 percent of the illuminance received from the general lighting system at full power. There is
no associated cost with this measure, as the 2019 T24 Standards already require multilevel lighting and daylight
sensors in primary and secondary daylit spaces. This measure is simply a revised control strategy, and does not
increase the number of sensors required or labor to install and program a sensor
• Occupant sensing in open plan offices: In an open plan office area greater than 250 ft2, control lighting based
on occupant sensing controls. Two workstations per occupancy sensor.

Mixed-Fuel Baseline Energy Figures
Figure 16 show the annual electricity and natural gas consumption and cost, compliance TDV, and GHG emissions for
the mixed-fuel design baseline Large Office. The compliance margins are non-zero in some cases and represent
typical baseline compliance margins with prescriptive prototypes. The non-zero compliance margins are largely a result
of compliance software complexities, and they are not expected to significantly impact the proposed case results or
nature of recommendations.

MCE’s Planning to Support Greater Building Electrification
12/22/21
MCE was formed for the express purpose of empowering its member communities to choose supply-side
and demand-side resources that reflect their specific values and needs. Member community values and
needs are reflected in the procurement principles, goals, targets, and directives reviewed and adopted by
MCE’s governing Board via MCE’s Operational Integrated Resource Plan (OIRP). MCE’s 2022 OIRP (this
document) has a planning period of 2022 through 2031 and takes into account numerous dimensions:
●Load forecasts based on the number and types of customers, potential service territory
expansions, opt-out rates,electrification trends,demand-side resources, and weather;
●Renewables and emissions targets;
●Agency-wide budgetary considerations and customer rate implications;
●Long-term contracting requirements and goals for new steel in the ground;
●Grid reliability needs and capacity requirements,including regulatory mandates;
●Market price hedging needs;
●Goals for local resources, local resiliency
MCE’s Procurement Process MCE has a well-established procurement process that includes the
following ten key activities:
1. Forecasting load based on the number and types of customers, potential service territory expansions,
opt-out rates,electrification trends, demand-side resources, and weather;
2. Integrated resource planning based on load forecasts,renewables and emissions targets,
agency-wide budgetary considerations and customer rate implications, long-term contracting
requirements and goals for new steel in the ground, grid reliability needs and capacity requirements,
market price hedging needs and goals for local resources, local resiliency, and local workforce
development;
3. Calculating open positions and interim volumetric needs based on MCE’s risk management policies;
4. Soliciting volumetric needs through Requests for Offers (RFOs), bilateral discussions or brokers;
5. Evaluating offers using a combination of proprietary and public models;
6. Negotiating (and ultimately executing) power purchase agreements, while enabling agreements and
confirmations including credit provisions and collateral requirements;
7. Managing pre-Commercial Operation Date (COD) executed contracts and monitoring progress
towards key development milestones (such as interconnection status, deliverability studies, siting,
zoning, permitting, financing, construction, commercial operation, etc.);
8. Managing post-COD executed contracts: obtaining generation forecasts, bidding and scheduling
resources into the CAISO, validating and paying invoices;
9. Bidding and scheduling MCE’s load into the CAISO; and
10. Regulatory compliance reporting.
Electrification assumptions come from the CPUC’s Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) which
accounts for state level policy goals for building and transportation electrification. To learn more please

Contra Costa Board of Supervisors
RE: DRAFT ELECTRIC NEW BUILDING ORDINANCE
Dear Members of the Board,
Thank you for moving forward on the proposed ordinance to ban natural gas in all new residences, and
many new nonresidential buildings. We have reviewed the draft ordinance, and only have a couple of
comments:
1. The ordinance is silent on new commercial buildings where HVAC and water heating systems
are installed prior to occupancy types being identified (where a building is a multiple tenant
type, and where a single tenant may have both applicable and exempt space types). On
December 13, I spoke to Demian Hardman-Saldana about this, and he assured me – to our
organization’s satisfaction – that planning and building department staff will not allow natural
gas infrastructure to be installed unless a space is an exempt occupancy type.
2. Solar Thermal Systems. While this proposed ordinance has been characterized as an
“electrification” ordinance, its purpose is to stop new buildings from burning fossil fuels.
Therefore, solar thermal space heating and water heating systems ought to be allowed (and
encouraged). Section III (b) includes a definition for All-Electric Building. The definition’s
final line is “An all-electric building may utilize solar thermal pool heating.”
We propose that this line’s wording change to “An all-electric building may utilize solar
thermal space and solar water heating”.
We look forward to working with the County on additional programs to phase out fossil fuels in
transportation, and in all buildings – new and existing.
Please feel free to contact me should you need any additional information.

County
Subject:Proposed 2022 State and Federal Legislative Programs for Contra Costa County
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct impact to the County from the adoption of the Legislative Programs. However, if the programs are successful, additional state and
federal funds could flow to Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND:
At the beginning of each two-year legislative cycle, the Board of Supervisors adopts State and Federal Legislative Platforms that establish
Contra Costa County's priorities and policy positions with regard to state and federal legislation and regulation. The Board of Supervisors
adopted the 2021-22 State and Federal Legislative Platforms on January 19, 2021, with subsequent amendments in March 2021.
The State Legislative Platform includes County-sponsored bill proposals, legislative or regulatory advocacy priorities, and principles that
provide direction and guidance for identification of and advocacy on bills, regulations and ballot measures which could affect the services,
programs or finances of Contra Costa County. The Federal Legislative Platform establishes federal funding needs and policy positions with
regard to potential federal legislation and regulation. These Legislative Platform documents, prepared by staff of the County Administrator's
Office in collaboration and consulation with County department heads and other key staff, the County's state and federal advocates, and
with input from the Board's commissions/committees and the public, are utilized by the County's state and federal advocates, elected
officials, and staff as the basis for the County's annual advocacy programs.
For the development of the 2022 state and federal legislative programs, centered on the sponsored bills and appropriation requests initiated
by the County as well as the County's legislative priorities, CAO staff conducted outreach in the fall of 2021, inviting input so that draft
programs could be considered by the Legislation Committee (Chair Burgis/Vice Chair Mitchoff) at their November 8, 2021 meeting.
Subsequent to the November 8, 2021 meeting of the Legislation Committee and their approval of the 2022 legislative programs, CAO staff
conducted additional outreach to County department heads and key staff regarding potential state budget earmark requests; two additional
earmark proposals were identified by Contra Costa Fire Protection District and staff to the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy.
(These additional state budget earmark requests were not considered by the Legislation Committee due to timing.)
Proposed 2022 State Legislative Program
Carry-over from 2021
1. AB 988 (Bauer-Kahan) Mental Health: Mobile Crisis Support Teams: 988 Crisis: Additional funding is needed to provide
community-based crisis response services. As a co-sponsor of AB 988, the County's role in system development and operations is of great
concern to County Behavioral Health staff. Advocacy and engagement on this bill will continue in 2022.
2. AB 844 (Grayson) Green Empowerment Zone for the Northern Waterfront Area: Funding and staffing are needed to
implement the bill. Incentive mechanisms need to be identified. Additional representation for Contra Costa County and the City of
Richmond is also needed on the board. Although the bill was enacted in 2021, engagement on implementation and potential amendment
will continue in 2022.
3. Medi-Cal expansion for ages 27-49: On July 27, Governor Newsom signed into law the first-in the-nation expansion of Medi-Cal
to undocumented Californians age 50 and over, through the health care trailer bill, AB 133. Under AB 133, approximately 235,000
Californians aged 50 and older are newly eligible for Medi-Cal, including preventive services, long-term care and In-Home Supportive
Services. In 2019, California became the frist state to expand Medi-Cal coverage to all eligible undocumented young adults up to the age of
26. With the Governor's signature on AB 133, a gap exists in eligibility for those ages 27-49. As part of the Governor's proposed 2022-23
budget, a proposal was included to extend coverage to immigrants ages 27-49 beginning in 2024.
4. ACA 1: ACA 1 would lower the necessary voter threshold from a two-thirds supermajority to 55 percent to approve local general
obligation (GO) bonds and special taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects. ACA 1 would create an additional
exception to the 1% ad valorem tax rate limit on real property that would authorize a city, county, or special district to levy an ad valorem
tax to service bonded indebtedness incurred to fund the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure,
affordable housing, or permanent supportive housing, if the proposition proposing the tax is approved by 55% of the voters of the city or
county, and the proposition includes accountability requirements. This proposal will be carried over into 2022 for further consideration by
the Legislature. This bill proposes an amendment to the California Constitution, which means that if passed by the Legislature, the proposal
would then go to the ballot for voter approval at a statewide election.
New County-sponsored (or co-sponsored) Legislation for 2022
1. Stipends to Address Menstruation Equity: Attachment A . The umbrella term "period poverty" describes inequities
resulting from the lack of access to menstrual hygiene tools and resources. Menstrual hygiene products cannot be purchased with Food
Stamps (CalFresh), Medi-Cal, and the WIC program. EHSD staff have developed a legislative proposal to provide monthly $15 stipends for
hygiene products for female, transgender, and non-binary Welfare-to-Work recipients, aged 11-55, to allow for their purchase. The County
Welfare Directors Association has approved an S-3 position on the proposal, which .
2. Illegal Dumping: Consistent with a strategy to target commercial actors who engage in illegal dumping activities, the County's state
advocates have proposed, and staff in the Department of Conservation and Development and District Attorney's Office have reviewed,
revisions to state statute (California Penal Code 374.3) that would allow for greater monetary penalties for persons who dump
commercial quantities (increasing the ceilings of the fine from $3,000 to $5,000 on first conviction, from $6,000 to $10,000 on second
conviction, and from $10,000 to $20,000 on third or subsequent conviction), loss of license, paying for the cost of removal, and posting the
information publicly in a manner set forth by the court. If authorized by the Board of Supervisors, the proposed legislative changes would be
submitted to the state Office of Legislative Counsel for drafting and introduction by a legislator.
3. Flaring Penalty Amendments: (co-sponsor) Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) staff have developed
legislative language relative to amending various sections of the Health and Safety Code (42400-42411) regarding violations of emissions
limitations at large stationary sources. If introduced as a Senate or Assembly Bill, BAAQMD would likely act as the primary sponsor,
pending Board approval, and Contra Costa County would co-sponsor, pending Board of Supervisor approval.
4. Accessible Transportation: (co-sponsor) The California Senior Legislature (CSL) is proposing new legislation to fund and
improve accessible transportation statewide. Department of Conservation and Development staff and our transportation legislative advocate
have been providing support to the CSL on the subject, given the supporting language in the adopted 2021-22 State Legislative Platform.
The proposal would create the Accessible Transportation Account (ATA), authorize Consolidated Transportation Services Agencies
(CTSAs, authorized under existing law) to oversee expenditures at the local level, and improve the CTSA mechanism. While vehicle
registration/license fees are cited as potential revenue sources in the proposal, that specific detail has not yet been finalized. The origin of
the bill was the State's Master Plan for Aging (MPA) process which began in 2019 and was completed in early 2021. The MPA addressed a
spectrum of aging issues including housing, caregiving, affordability of aging, fighting isolation, and transportation.
5. While no language has been drafted or proposed as yet for a legislative vehicle, County Administrator staff seek authority, aligned with
the adopted Platform advocacy priority "Health Care, including Mental Health, Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder services," to
advocate for sufficient funding and streamlined statutory authority to provide individual or group psychotherapy, psychotropic medication,
and discharge planning services to behavioral health patient inmates within County detention facilities, including those committed
incompetent to stand trial, in community or in-custody settings. These efforts are a component of the County's comprehensive system to
address the population of those with mental illness in the County's jail facilities.
6. Permanent Changes to the Brown Act: Although not proposed as County-sponsored legislation, the County would support
permanent changes to the Brown Act to allow for hybrid Board and commission/committee meetings (including in-person, Zoom, and
phone) without requiring elected officials or members of the commission/committee to post their address on the agenda. The Urban
Counties of California (UCC) will take a leadership role in advocating for improvements to statutory provisions that direct the conduct of
public meetings that ensure that (1) they are open and accessible to all members of the public, and (2) disruptive behavior and hate speech
can be addressed swiftly to maintain a safe environment. The County's adopted 2021-22 State Platform currently contains the principle:
"ENABLE local governments to continue offering opportunities for public meeting attendance, participation, and accessibility through
technological means after the pandemic has ended." (p. 14)
FY 2022-23 State Budget Requests
Although there is no existing, established state budget earmark process (as there has been in prior years for federal community project
funding requests), given the projected surplus in the FY 2022-23 budget and the experience of FY 2021-22 wherein legislators sought and
secured project/program specific budget allocations, our state advocates have urged the identification of possible Contra Costa
County-specific earmarks for FY 22-23. The following state budget earmark requests have been identified. Staff seeks Board of Supervisor
input on the prioritization of these requests:
1. "Seed money" for a Regional Responders Complex at the Concord Naval Weapons Station site: $3 million.
Since 2007 the Fire District and Office of the Sheriff have been working towards a plan to reuse approximately 75 acres of former Concord
Naval Weapons Station land for a combined administrative, training, and logistics center. The County and the Fire District expect to take
physical possession of the land in late 2022 or 2023. There is a need to refresh a business plan and conceptual design that was originally
authored in 2007. The Fire District envisions a unique all-risk training facility with props and facilities not found anywhere else in the
region. This could include swift water rescue, rail, BART cars, electric vehicles, confined space, indoor and outdoor tactical ranges, a skid
pan driving course, a training village to simulate residential and commercial settings and modern classrooms. Space planning, conceptual
design and civil work such as utility planning are all needed design elements. Additionally, once the land is transferred a temporary access
will need to be constructed. This temporary access has already been tentatively identified as Evora Road. One time $3 million in funding
will help the team advance the planning concepts required to define what the facility needs are on the site, provide temporary access, and
begin some of the civil design work required for the site.
2. Choice in Aging's "Aging in Place Campus:" $20 million. (Attachment B )
Choice in Aging, a non-profit organization serving some of Contra Costa County's frailest and most vulnerable residents since 1949, is in
the process of building a new and innovative model for how we age in our community – the Aging in Place on Campus – which will
provide elder and fragile adults with independent housing and co-located services that will allow them to age with dignity in their homes.
The campus will include intergenerational services that will allow multiple generations to learn and grow together in a single location. The
housing construction funding will be made available from other sources, but the full range of services can only be realized with the help of
the state.
3. Funding to implement the proposed Menstruation Equity bill: $8.5 million.
4. Funding to provide individual or group psychotherapy, psychotropic medication, and discharge planning services to behavioral health
patient inmates within County detention facilities, including those committed incompetent to stand trial: $5 million (approximately )
5. Funding to support the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy: Attachment C
Conservation Grazing Infrastructure: $1,000,000 (scaleable)1.
Mount Diablo: Pine tree and Manzanita Die-off Investigation: $500,0002.
Land Acquisition funding for the local regional Natural Community Conservation Plan (East CCC
HCP/NCCP): $6,000,000 (scaleable proposal)
3.
Habitat Restoration funding for the local regional Natural Community Conservation Plan (East CCC
HCP/NCCP): $6,000,000 (scaleable proposal)
4.
The above described sponsored (and co-sponsored) bills and state budget requests, if approved by the Board of Supervisors, will be pursued
in 2022 in addition to the Advocacy Priorities included in the 2021-22 State Legislative Platform:
COVID-19 Response and Economic Recovery
Climate Change
Health Care, including Mental Health, Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services
Housing and Homelessness
Justice Reform
The Delta/ Water and Levees
Proposed 2022 Federal Legislative Program
Similar to the process undertaken for the development of the 2022 State Legislative Program, County staff and the County's federal
advocate, Mr. Paul Schlesinger of Alcalde & Fay, initiated outreach to County staff and officials in the fall of 2021 in anticipation of future
federal member-directed spending requests (colloquially referred to as "earmarks") in 2022, as well as for the purpose of ascertaining
federal legislative priorties for the year. CAO staff was notified on November 1, 2022 that Mr. Schlesinger had separated from Alcalde &
Fay and joined the firm Thorn Run Partners; he has been the County's principal federal lobbyist since 2001, assisting the County with its
federal legislative and regulatory needs and helping to secure federal appropriations and grants.
In addition to the consideration of member-directed community project funding requests, which have been discussed but not finalized for
Board action, County staff have identified federal policy and funding priorities for 2022, including the following (not in priority order):
1. The Elimination of the IMD Exclusion Rule. Requested by County Behavioral Health Director, Dr. Tavano, this prohibition on
so-called "institutes of mental diseases" (IMD), has been in place since 1965. Under the IMD exclusion, federal rules prohibit Medicaid
from paying for psychiatric inpatient care facilities with at least 16 beds. The facilities can be those treating for acute behavioral conditions
and substance use disorders with regulations on the exclusion varying among states.
2. Federal Weatherization Programchanges to include more Energy Efficiency Options. Requested by the County's Sustainability
Coordinator, Jody London. SUPPORT modifications to the federal Weatherization Assistance Program that expand eligible measures to
include whole building clean energy improvements such as wall insulation, duct sealing, electric panel upgrades, electric heat pumps, and
related measures. Also SUPPORT modifications that increase the income eligibility limits for the Weatherization Assistance Program.
3. Medicare expansion and lowering prescription drug prices. Requested by Dr. William Walker, on behalf of Contra Costa
Health Services. Medicare expansion to cover dental, hearing, and vision. Empower Medicare to negotiate prices for certain drugs and cap
the out-of-pocket costs for seniors on Medicare.
4. Hospital infrastructure funding. Requested by Dr. William Walker, on behalf of Contra Costa Health Services.
5. Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) Reallocation . Requested by Chief Assistant CAO Time Ewell, support for
an application by the state to the U.S. Treasury Department for reallocation of ERAP 1 dollars for the continued benefit of California and
Contra Costa County residents.
6. Municipal Securities. Requested by Chief Assistant CAO Tim Ewell, support fully reinstating tax-exemption of advance refunding
bonds as well as provisions restoring and expanding the use of direct-pay bonds. Advocacy efforts consistent with past federal platforms
have been under way.
7. Families First Prevention Services Act. Requested by Chief Probation Officer Esa Ehmen-Krause. This legislation from 2018
offered states an opportunity to transform state child welfare systems by providing substance abuse, mental health and other prevention and
treatment services to prevent children’s entry into foster care. The law also sought to reduce states’ reliance on group and residential
treatment homes and instead prioritize family-based care. Information on implementation outcomes in California and financial benefits was
requested.
8. Housing Vouchers for Homeless Veterans: The HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program combines
HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance for homeless Veterans with case management and clinical services provided by
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VA provides these services for participating Veterans at VA medical centers (VAMCs),
community-based outreach clinics (CBOCs), through VA contractors, or through other VA designated entities. Congress has appropriated
additional funding for new HUD-VASH vouchers every year since 2008. The County Administrator requests additional efforts in 2022 to
secure these VASH vouchers for homeless Veterans in Contra Costa County.
9. Funding for Buchanan Field Airport (Tower replacement) and Byron Airport development: The County has
9. Funding for Buchanan Field Airport (Tower replacement) and Byron Airport development: The County has
submitted earmark requests relative to these projects and although not successful in advancing those earmarks in FY '22, there may be
additional opportunities in FY '23.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the adoption of a 2022 legislative program, County staff and its advocates will not have direction on specific state and federal
policy and funding priorities to pursue.

Topic: Stipends to Address Menstruation Equity
PROBLEM STATEMENT: In Contra Costa County and across the country, too many low-income women
struggle to obtain menstrual hygiene products for themselves and their female children or dependent
household members. A 2019 study by Obstetrics & Gynecology of low-income women in a large U.S. city
found that nearly two-thirds (64%) could not afford menstrual hygiene products or supplies in the past
year. The same study found that more than one in five (21%) women experienced this problem
monthly 1.
The umbrella term “period poverty” describes inequities resulting from the lack of access to menstrual
hygiene tools and resources. In addition to low-income women and girls, “period poverty” also adversely
affects students, transgender and non-binary individuals, incarcerated women, and homeless women.
Among the key contributors to “period poverty” are:
•Exorbitant prices of tampons or pads: 27 states* currently view these products as luxury goods
and impose sales tax, also known as the “tampon tax,” on menstrual hygiene products.
o Last year, menstrual products and diapers were permanently exempted from the retail
tax through a budget bill, AB 150. See:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB150&s
earch_keywords=menstrual+products
•Menstrual hygiene products cannot be purchased with Food Stamps (CalFresh in California),
Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California), and the WIC program. Health savings accounts only recently
allowed for the purchase of menstrual hygiene products due to the recent CARES Act.
Recent studies have found linkages between frequent instances of “period poverty” and the prevalence
of health inequities. For example, a recent analysis of college-age women in the U.S. conducted by the
National Library of Medicine found that women who experienced monthly period poverty over the past
year were the most likely to report moderate/severe depression2.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Research reveals that Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez carried a bill in 2018 that made $30 in diaper
assistance available in the CalWORKs Welfare to Work and Cal Learn programs. See:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB480
In Illinois, House Bill 155 was recently signed into law and will take effect on January 1, 2022. House Bill
155 will require the Department of Human Services to apply for a waiver from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service permitting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefit recipients
to use their benefits to purchase diapers and menstrual hygiene products.

Attachment A
2022 Legislative Proposal
1/4/2022 p. 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION: This proposal aims to help alleviate menstrual inequity through a stipend pilot
program for CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work recipients. EHSD proposes a $15 monthly stipend for all
female, transgender, and non-binary WTW recipients between the ages of 11 solely to purchase
feminine hygiene products. Stipend-eligible individuals shall receive the benefit monthly through the
household’s CalWORKs-issued EBT Card.
Modelled after the diaper stipend, EHSD proposes this pilot program as a way to cover an initial
population of vulnerable individuals engaged in Welfare-to-Work, with the intent to expand the stipend
to a broader population of vulnerable individuals in the future.
ANALYSIS
Potential Eligibles:
All active CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work (WTW) participants who are female, transgender, or non-binary,
and between ages 11 and 55 shall be eligible for the stipend. Individuals experiencing program
sanctions and ineligible household members shall not be eligible for the stipend. An analysis of the
current active Contra Costa CalWORKs households in CalWIN reveals the following as of September
2021:
• There are 12,608 CalWORKs participants in Contra Costa County which includes 1,809
individuals who are enrolled in Welfare-To-Work (WTW).
• There are 4,156 individuals enrolled in CalWORKs who are females between the ages of 11-55,
of which 1,363 individuals enrolled in WTW are eligible for the stipend.
Contra Costa worked with CDSS to generate statewide estimates of the number of potentially eligible.
CDSS estimates that as of September 2021, there may be approximately 43,000 WTW recipients
statewide who are female, between the ages of 11-55, and are not sanctioned or excluded from WTW
activities3.
POTENTIAL FISCAL IMPACT
Rough Estimates
Annual cost of the stipend are as follows:
• This proposal would allow 1,363 female, aged 11-55, non-exempt, non-sanctioned Contra
Costa WTW participants to qualify to a monthly $15 stipend as a supportive service. This
translates to an annual cost of 1,363 x $15 x 12 = $245,340 to cover eligible individuals in Contra
Costa County.
• This proposal would allow 43,000 female, aged 11-55, non-exempt, non-sanctioned individuals
statewide (per CDSS estimates) to qualify to a monthly $15 stipend as a supportive service. This
translates to an annual cost of 43,000 x $15 x 12 = $7.74 million to cover eligible individuals
statewide.
• There is an approximate one-time cost of $800,000 for CalSAWS integration.
3 CDSS generated this estimate by pulling a Medi-Cal Eligibility Data System (MEDS) point-in-time extract of
eligibility data as of the end of September 2021, and matching that with a Welfare Data Tracking Implementation
Project (WDTIP) point-in-time extract from November 2021.
Attachment A
2022 Legislative Proposal
1/4/2022 p. 3
In summary, this pilot stipend program may allow more than 43,000 low-income females aged 11-55
statewide, which includes 1,300 vulnerable Contra Costa community members, to benefit from a
monthly stipend of $15 per month based on the above estimates.
Transmission of Stipend:
Qualified individuals linked to an active CalWORKs case shall receive the monthly stipend through the
listed Head of Household’s EBT card. These costs may be recouped in other areas, such as lower
utilization of public health resources (including mental health resources), an increase in overall health
and well-being of individuals who experience menstruation, leading to positive outcomes.

REQUEST FOR FUNDING FOR CHOICE IN AGING CAMPUS IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
Choice in Aging is a not-for-profit organization that has been serving Contra Costa County’s
frailest and most vulnerable residents since 1949. It provides a variety of services to older adults and
children in Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, and Sacramento counties. Choice in Aging has been a leader in
creating innovative programs that allow more people to age independently, in their own homes.
Choice in Aging is in the process of building a new and innovative model for how we age in our
community – the Aging in Place on Campus – which will provide elder and fragile adults with
independent housing and co-located services that will allow them to age with dignity in their homes. The
campus will include intergenerational services that will allow multiple generations to learn and grow
together in a single location. Research shows that intergenerational programming provides a myriad of
benefits, including decreased isolation and/or increased connectedness, increased self-esteem and
feelings of worth, increased trust, and an increased sense of community.1 This model for aging
independently will create a blueprint that can be used nationwide to meet the challenges our aging
population faces.
Choice in Aging is seeking a one-time allocation of $20 million in the 2022-23 state budget to
build out the facilities for services for the residents, community members, and preschool attendees. The
housing construction funding will be made available from other sources, but the full range of services
can only be realized with the help of the state. While the campus will serve local residents, it will stand
as both an incubator and policy platform for an intergenerational and integrated service approach to
aging in place.
Attached is an FAQ for the project. Additional details of the project and services can be made
available upon request.

East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy (and partners)
PROPOSAL 1:
Conservation Grazing Infrastructure: $1,000,000. (scale-able proposal)
This project proposes to fund infrastructure to support use of livestock to manage grasslands.
Funds will be used to establish wells/water sources, construct livestock watering systems,
install fencing, and provide other critical infrastructure for livestock. These funds would be used
across the east Contra Costa County region to ensure efficient function systems to support
livestock as a tool to manage habitat, control invasive weeds and reduce wildfire risk. Well
managed conservation grazing helps maintain healthy grasslands that act as a carbon sink and
provide habitat for native endangered species. Livestock grazing is the most powerful tool in
East Contra Costa County to help the region respond to the effects of climate change that is
further threatening endangered species, habitat and local communities.
These priorities are identified in a variety of state platforms and documents.
AB1500 Chapter 2 / SB 45 Chapter 2: Wildfire: Fuel management: Conservation grazing
reduces the fuel load in open space areas around the region. Contra Costa County has
extensive urban-wildlife interface and the use of livestock to reduce fuel loads helps prevent
the acceleration of wildfires.
AB1500 Chapter 5 / SB45 Chapter 4: Protecting fish, wildlife and natural areas: Habitat
and Endangered Species: Conservation grazing uses livestock as a tool to manage grassland
habitats. The timing of grazing, type of livestock, and close monitoring of grasslands results the
creation and maintenance of habitat that support state and federally endangered and special
status species. In Contra Costa County conservation grazing is key to maintaining habitats for
western burrowing owl, California red legged frog, California tiger salamander and others. With
more frequent drought cycles in our region, natural and restored wetlands, streams, and ponds
are drying more quickly. The water in these habitat features needs to be conserved for wildlife
breeding habitat. By excluding cattle from these areas are providing alternate sources of water
we can preserve wetland habitats and continue to keep livestock on grazing throughout the
growing season to manage the upland habitats.
AB1500 Chapter 6 / SB45 Chapter 5: Protecting farms, ranches and working lands:
Invasive Weeds: Conservation grazing uses livestock to mange invasive weeds in our grasslands.
Livestock when introduced to a landscape early in the rainy season can eat and control noxious
and invasive weeds. Livestock are land managers greatest tool in addressing widespread
invasive plans in grasslands.
Timing: This project is ready to go and start spending in January 2022. It will probably take up
to 3 years to spend the entirety of these funds across 14,000 acres of conserved land owned
and managed by the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy and East Bay Regional Park
District.

PROPOSAL 2:
Mount Diablo: Pine tree and Manzanita Die-off: $500,000.
This project seeks to investigate the cause of the recent sudden (over the last 12 months) die
off and/or dieback of thousands of manzanita and knob cone pine trees in the Knob Cone Point
area, contiguous to Save Mount Diablo’s Curry Canyon reserve and Mount Diablo State Park, as
well as along the Wall Point Trail area of Mount Diablo State Park, and potentially identify
methods of management of this situation. All species of manzanita (including the Mount Diablo
Manzanita) are being affected by this issue and are dying at dizzying rates in lush, wide
chaparral areas, some seemingly impenetrable. This die off is concerning as it greatly increases
the vulnerability of the area to fire and also has the potential to have extreme impacts to state
and federally endangered and special status species.
Justification, by chapter of AB1500
& SB45: Forest management to
reduce fire risk to Mount Diablo
State Park and surrounding
conservation areas. This project
provides important fire
management and environmental
benefits (Chapters 2 and 5).
AB1500 Chapter 2 / SB 45 Chapter
2: Wildfire: The sudden die-off of
pines and manzanitas needs to be
understood, controlled and
managed. The cause is currently
unknown and partners in the region would like to move quickly to prevent the spread of this
phenomenon across though the region. The current situation is a fire risk, but an spread of this
would be devastating for the fuels management in the region (note powerlines in photo).
AB1500 Chapter 5 / SB45 Chapter 4: Protecting fish, wildlife and natural areas: Habitat and
Endangered Species: This forest and chaparral habitat supports state and federal endangered
and special status species including Alameda whipsnake, golden eagle, mount diablo manzanita.
The loss of the pine and manzanita cover could dramatically impact the populations of the
species that are targeted for conservation.
Timing: This project is ready to go and start spending as of March 2022. It will probably take up
to 4 years to spend the entirety of these funds on research, experimental management, and to
develop management protocols and guidelines.

PROPOSAL 3:
Land Acquisition funding for the local regional Natural Community Conservation Plan (East CCC
HCP/NCCP): $6,000,000. (scale-able proposal)
The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy (ECCCHC) implements the Habitat
Conservation Plan/ Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP). There is an ambitious
land acquisition component of this plan that anticipates up to 30,300 acres of new conservation
in the region. The ECCCHC will provide match funding for the state funds toward acquisition up
to 45% with local, federal funds, and/or private funds for the conservation of endangered
species habitat. Conservation of land helps secure and manage healthy watersheds, sequester
carbon, preserve habitat for state and federally listed endangered species.
AB1500 Chapter 5 / SB45 Chapter 4: Protecting fish, wildlife and natural areas: The HCP/NCCP
targets habitats that support 28 state and federally protected species. The ECCCHC has a track
record of working with other local agencies and NGOs to move quickly to effectively protect
and manage lands. In the last 14 years, the ECCCHC has successfully conserved over 14,000
acres of land and is working to continue this effort.
Timing: This project is ready to go and start spending as of June 2022. It will probably take up
to 4 years to spend the entirety of these funds and the pace of expenditures will depend on the
opportunities to acquire land from willing sellers in the region.
PROPOSAL 4:
Habitat Restoration funding for the local regional Natural Community Conservation Plan (East
CCC HCP/NCCP): $6,000,000. (scale-able proposal)
The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy (ECCCHC) implements the Habitat

RECOMMENDATION(S):
INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2022-04, amending the Election Campaign Ordinance to revise the limits on individual campaign contributions to
supervisorial and non-supervisorial candidates; WAIVE reading; FIX February 1, 2022, for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Election Campaign Ordinance was first adopted in 1984 and has been amended sporadically since that time. The limit
for individual campaign contributions to non-supervisorial county office candidates was last revised in 2004. The current limit is one-thousand,
six hundred seventy-five dollars ($1,675) per election cycle, and it applies to candidates for the offices of Assessor, Auditor-Controller, County
Clerk-Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, and Treasurer-Tax Collector. (See Ordinance, §§ 530-2.210; 530-2.402).
The limit for individual campaign contributions to supervisorial candidates was last revised in 2005. The current limit is one-thousand, six
hundred seventy-five dollars ($1,675) per election cycle. This limit increases to five thousand dollars ($5,000) in two limited circumstances:
where the total cumulative expenditures of the committee or committees making independent expenditures opposing the candidate or supporting
the candidate’s opponent equal $75,000 or more; where the candidate faces a self-funded opponent, as defined. (See Ordinance, §§ 530-2.703;
530-2.705 (a); 530-2.708 (c).)
The proposed ordinance amendment would increase the individual campaign contributions limits for both supervisorial and non-supervisorial
candidates to two thousand, five hundred dollars ($2,500) per election cycle. As to supervisorial candidates, the increased limit triggered by
large independent expenditures and self-funded candidates would continue to apply. All other provisions of the Election Campaign Ordinance
would remain unchanged. (See proposed Ordinance No. 2022-04, attached.)

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Ordinance increasing limits on individual campaign contributions to candidates for all County offices
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In the sixteen years since these campaign contribution limits were last revised, the cost of election campaigns has significantly increased
due to the rising cost of living and the increased cost for outreach resulting from the increased County population. Another related factor in
rising campaign costs is the larger role of Independent Expenditure Committees for or against candidates in campaigns at the local level.
Independent Expenditure Committees can raise large sums of money that can have an impact on the outcome of an election. Raising the
individual campaign contribution limits for County elected offices will help candidates offset the potential impacts of the changes that have
raised the costs of local campaigns.
In 2019, Assembly Bill 571 (Chapter 566) was signed by the Governor, and beginning January 1, 2021, it applied statutory campaign
contribution limits to elective city and county offices in jurisdictions that do not have local laws imposing campaign contribution limits.
Along with the statutory contribution limits, other related provisions that formerly applied only to state level candidates now apply in such
local jurisdictions. The current statutory contribution limit for city and county candidates is $4,900 per election. This amount is adjusted
every odd-numbered year by the Fair Political Practices Commission to reflect any increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index.
Because this County’s Election Campaign Ordinance imposes campaign contribution limits for all elective County offices, the new statutory
contribution limits and other related provisions do not apply to County candidates. (See Government Code, §§ 85301 (d); 85702.5.) AB 571
expressly acknowledges that a local government may establish a different limitation that is more precisely tailored to the needs of its
communities. The proposed ordinance which would increase individual contribution limits for all County candidates to $2,500 is permitted
by state law and is less than the higher statutory limit of $4,900 for individual campaign contributions in counties without local contribution
limits.
If Ordinance No. 2022-04 is adopted on February 1 as proposed, it will be effective March 2, during an ongoing election cycle for
candidates for both supervisorial and non-supervisorial office. This ordinance would provide that the increased contribution limits would
apply to both supervisorial and non-supervisorial candidates during the remainder of the current election cycle. Thus, candidates could
receive individual campaign contributions at the increased amount during the current election cycle. (See, Ordinance No. 2022-04, § IV,
Effect of Ordinance on Limits Applicable to Current Election Cycle.)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The current individual campaign contribution limits will remain unchanged.

Order shall prevent the Board from re-awarding the contract to another bidder in cases where the successful bidder establishes a mistake, refuses
to sign the contract, or fails to furnish required bonds or insurance (see Public Contract Code Sections 5100-5107).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project will be funded by 51.55% Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), 48.45% Local Road Funds
BACKGROUND:
The above project was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors, plans and specifications were filed with the Board, and bids were
invited by the Public Works Director. On December 21, 2021, the Public Works Department received bids from the following contractors:
BIDDER, TOTAL AMOUNT, BOND AMOUNTS
Coral Construction Company.: $1,117,777.00; Payment: $1,117,777.00; Performance: $1,117,777.00
Dirt and Aggregate Interchange, Inc.: $1,148,833.00
Midstate Barrier, Inc.: $1,185,410.00
Construction H Inc.: $1,788,600.00
The first bidder listed above, Coral Construction, submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid, which is $31,056.00 less than the next
lowest bid.
This is a federally funded project subject to a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal and requirements. The Public Works
Director reports that the lowest monetary bidder, Coral Construction, exceeded the DBE goal (11.00%) for this project.
The Public Works Director recommends that the Board determine that Coral Construction has complied with the DBE requirements for this
project and recommends that the construction contract be awarded to Coral Construction.
The Board of Supervisors previously determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class
2(c) Categorical Exemption, and a Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk on September 17, 2020.
The general prevailing rates of wages, which shall be the minimum rates paid on this project, have been filed with the Clerk of the Board, and
copies will be made available to any party upon request.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Construction of the project would be delayed, and the project might not be built.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/19 approving the seventh extension of the Subdivision Agreement for subdivision SD91-07553, for a project
being developed by Alamo Land Investors, LLC and Alamo 37, LLC, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Alamo area. (District II)
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The termination date of the Subdivision Agreement needs to be extended. The developer has not completed the required improvements and has
requested more time. (Approximately 0% of the work has been completed to date.) By granting an extension, the County will give the developer
more time to complete improvements and keeps the bond current.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The termination date of the Subdivision Agreement will not be extended and the developer will be in default of the agreement, requiring the
County to take legal action against the developer and surety to get the improvements installed, or revert the development to acreage.

designee, to negotiate a long-term ground lease and development terms for this 0.86-acre site. The property is located on the northwest side
of Buchanan Field Airport on Sally Ride Drive. The proposal from Mark Scott Construction, Inc. was the only offer the County received
following a solicitation for competitive interest in the site.
On March 10, 2020, the Board authorized the Director of Airports, or designee, to negotiate a long-term ground lease and development
terms for this 11-acre site. The property is located on the northeast side of Buchanan Field Airport on Marsh Drive immediately west of the
Walnut Creek channel. The proposal from Mark Scott Construction, Inc. was the only offer the County received following a solicitation for
competitive interest in the site.
Mark Scott Construction, Inc. desires to lease the sites and develop them for aviation purposes and has formed a limited liability company
called Urban Air Mobility, LLC for this purpose. By entering into exclusive negotiation agreements with Urban Air Mobility, they can
actively market the properties to identify a tenant or tenants. Further, it will enable the County and Urban Air Mobility to feel confident in
proceeding with the CEQA process, as mandated by State law.
Development of these vacant parcels would expand economic development activity at the Buchanan Field Airport and lead to increased
revenues to the Airport Enterprise Fund and added local jobs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A delay in entering into exclusive negotiating agreements for either of these sites will delay their development, which could impact the
Airport Enterprise Fund and County General Fund.

2022/28
In the matter of:Resolution No. 2022/28
In the Matter of Proclaiming January 2022 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month in Contra Costa County.
WHEREAS, human trafficking is a form of abuse in which force, fraud or coercion is used to control victims for the purpose of
commercial sexual or labor exploitation; that occurs in every industry and affects individuals of all genders, ages and of all
backgrounds; and
WHEREAS, human trafficking is a lucrative industry and the fastest growing criminal industry in the world; and uses violent and
exploitive tactics to target vulnerable members of our communities; and
WHEREAS, the crime of human trafficking violates an individual's privacy, dignity, security and humanity due to the systematic
use of physical, emotional, sexual, psychological and economic exploitation, control and/or abuse; and
WHEREAS, the impact of human trafficking is wide-ranging, directly affecting foreign nationals as well as U.S. citizens, and
society as a whole; victims experience trauma, violence, manipulation, fraud and coercion at the hands of their traffickers. It is
often the most vulnerable members of our communities who are affected by human trafficking; and
WHEREAS, as of from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, 10,583 human trafficking cases were reported nationwide to the
National Human Trafficking Resource Center, of those reports, the majority of cases were reported in California, and it is likely
that statistics for calendar year 2021 will be similar based on recent historical patterns in the data. Contra Costa County is not
immune to human trafficking. While underreported, over the last four years the Contra Costa Human Trafficking Coalition and
several partner agencies including Community Violence Solutions, STAND! for Families Free of Violence, Bay Area Legal Aid,
International Rescue Committee and Calli House, identified and served over 500 victims of human trafficking; and
WHEREAS, the County's Alliance to End Abuse acknowledges that fighting exploitation and human trafficking is a shared
community responsibility and therefore has worked with numerous public and private agencies to establish the Contra Costa
Human Trafficking Coalition, in order to strengthen the County’s comprehensive response to human trafficking initiated by
county departments, law enforcement agencies, and numerous community and faith-based organizations; and continuing to
build its collaboration by linking with local, regional and federal agencies; and
WHEREAS, the County of Contra Costa is working to raise awareness so individuals will become more informed, identify ways
their behavior contributes to a patriarchal culture that supports and tolerates the systemic abuse of vulnerable populations that
include women and people of color; and take action to end human trafficking in their communities.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors does hereby proclaim January
2022 as HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH, and urges all residents to actively participate in the efforts to both
raise awareness of, and end, all forms of human trafficking in our communities. During Human Trafficking Awareness Month, let
us recognize the survivors of trafficking, and let us resolve to build a future in which no people are denied their inherent human
rights of freedom and dignity. Let us make it known that human trafficking has no place in this city, this county, this nation or
this world.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2022-05 amending the County Ordinance Code to exclude from the merit system the new classification of Chief
of Administrative Services-Exempt, update section heading, and reorganize existing section, WAIVE READING and FIX February 1, 2022, for
adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will not have any fiscal impacts.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2018 the County established a new unrepresented classification of Chief of Administrative Services. The intention at that time was to
exempt the classification from the merit system and consolidate several department-specific classification serving in that same capacity.
However, that consolidation of the classifications was delayed, and the new classification has not been used. This Chief of Administrative
Services typically reports to the department head and acts with a high-degree of independence when developing and implementing policies and
procedures, and supervising staff performing personnel, payroll, fiscal, and administrative functions in mid-size or large departments. The
Human Resources Department is recommending that the exemption of this classification so that it is available for use in County departments.

Subject:Add one Deputy County Counsel - Advanced -Exempt position in the Office of County Counsel
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in the General Law division of the County Counsel’s Office to review, draft and negotiate a high volume of complex IT contracts and
related documents. The Health Services Department advises that delays in contracting put millions of dollars in grant funding at risk, can
cause critical CalAIM projects to be postponed and can delay implementations of critical system upgrades.
To continue to provide adequate representation at the increased level of services now needed by Health Services Information Technology,
an additional permanent dedicated Deputy County Counsel position is necessary. Adding the proposed position will ensure adequate
staffing to serve not only Health Services, but other clients as well.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Insufficient staffing in County Counsel will hinder provision of legal services to Health Services risking costly loss of grant funding and
project delays for Health Services IT. It will also reduce availability of services for other clients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
candidate to lead the Contra Costa County Airports Division now and into the future.
The Airports Division has many development opportunities underway and in planning for both Buchanan Field and Byron Airports. There
are also a number of airport infrastructure improvement projects either underway or being planned and developed for both airports. These
important projects will potentially increase the use and attractiveness of the County’s airports for aviation activities and thus will increase
potential revenue sources for the airports and the County. The Airports Division will need a strong Director of Airports adept at managing
competing demands, multiple priorities and strategic thinking to lead staff, and oversee airport administration and operations. A successful
Director of Airports must be an effective communicator, able to build consensus from many diverse partners and lead by example. This
adjustment will assist in developing a strong pool of candidates to meet the qualifications of an excellent Director of Airports.
After reviewing the existing salary for this position, it is recommended that this salary adjustment is necessary for the position of Director
of Airports.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County’s pool of potential Director of Airports candidates may not be as well qualified and skilled to lead our Airports Division if this
action is not approved.

Subject:Add one (1) Assistant Chief Information Officer-Exempt position
BACKGROUND:
The Human Resources Department recently performed a salary survey on the Assistant Chief
Information Officer-Exempt classification as well as the Chief Information Security Officer-Exempt
classification. Both salaries fell below the nine (9) bay area Counties surveyed. Accordingly, the Human
Resources Department has recommended a 12.6% salary increase to establish parity with the other
surrounding jurisdictions. The department is also abolishing the classification of Chief Information
Security Officer-Exempt and adding a new Assistant Chief Information Officer-Exempt position as the
duties of the current Chief Information Security Officer-Exempt are more in line with the duties of a
Assistant Chief Information Officer-Exempt.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the salary of this classifications will remain below market.

department has struggled to backfill this critical role with a classification that did not carry with it the knowledge, skills, and abilities to
effectively fill this role. It is necessary for the department to add a Chief of Administrative Services position so we may recruit and fill this
critical role with an individual who possesses the ability to perform complex and comprehensive budgetary analysis, the ability to maintain

for Inpatient psychiatric services within the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center in the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $10,994,062 with $4,263,497 in retirement and benefit costs already
included. The permanent salary and benefit costs will be fully offset by the reduction of contract registry staffing expenditures.
BACKGROUND:
In 2020, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center reopened the Inpatient Psychiatric Services providing acute behavioral health care. The unit
is a 24- hour operation staffed with nurses, physicians, social workers, and therapists to provide care for patients' psychiatric recovery. With
an increase in needs for psychiatric emergency services due to COVID-19 and partnered with local and State shortages of inpatient
psychiatric beds, the reopening was necessary to address the County’s increasing community needs for local and immediate acute inpatient
psychiatric care.
The Inpatient Psychiatric Services was initially opened with the use of contract employees, which was intended to be a temporary
circumstance until the County was able to add and fill the necessary permanent positions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, there will not be permanent staff to provide a continuum of psychiatric patient care in the Inpatient Psychiatric
Services unit at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
a. Authorizing the Department of Health Services Director (HSD) to apply for and accept NPLH funds with the affordable housing
developer Community Housing Development Corporation, as a joint applicant (the "Development Sponsor") and execute documents
necessary to accept the funds;
b. Acknowledging that the County and/or the Development Sponsor will be subject to the terms and conditions included in the Standard
Agreement to be entered into with the State pursuant to Government Code section 15463, Part 3.9 of Division 5 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code, and Welfare and Institutions Code section 5890; and
c. Authorizing a commitment by the Health Services Department to make mental health supportive services available to the project's NPLH
tenants for at least twenty years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The NPLH Competitive Allocation funds will be loaned directly to the Development Sponsors and secured by a Deed of Trust on the
development property. The cost of providing mental health supportive services will be covered by existing Mental Health Services Act
funds allocated to HSD.
BACKGROUND:
On September 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved an advocacy position for Proposition 2 that authorized the issuance of bonds to
fund existing housing programs for individuals with mental illness. The proposition was passed by voters on November 6, 2018. The
proceeds of the Proposition 2 bond issuance are designated for the NPLH program to be provided as deferred payment loans for the
development of permanent supportive housing for persons with a serious mental illness who are homeless, chronically homeless or at-risk
of chronic homelessness. NPLH funds are administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in
two tranches:
1. Noncompetitive Allocation Funds - Funding available on an "over the counter" basis to specific cities and counties throughout the State.
Contra Costa's allocation is $2,231,571. The County made its selection as part of the Round 3 Request for Proposals and Noncompetitive
Allocation has been awarded by HCD to the selected bidder.
2. Competitive Allocation Funds - Funding available on a competitive per-project allocation basis. These funds will be available through
four Notice of Funding Availability rounds with the current Round 4 being the last of the expected competitive rounds. The County may
apply independently or with a development sponsor. Applications for the fourth round are due on January 19, 2022.
The funds may be used to acquire, design, construct, rehabilitate, or preserve permanent supportive housing, which may include a
capitalized operating subsidy reserve.
The Development Sponsor will be the borrower of record for the loan; however the County will also be a party to documents associated
with the application for and award of NPLH funds for the purpose of providing the supportive services. The maximum loan amount per
project is $20,000,000 and the loan will be secured by a Deed of Trust on the project property. As a joint sponsor, the County shall be
jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Development Sponsor as set forth in the Standard Agreement.
HSD will work jointly with the Development Sponsor to apply to HCD for an allocation of NPLH competitive funds for one or more
projects. Staff will review project applications for compliance with threshold requirements, development feasibility, competitiveness and
eligibility, and participate on behalf of the County in the financing transaction. The Behavioral Health Services Division of HSD, in
cooperation with the Development Sponsor, will write the project specific Supportive Services Plan that is included with the application,
and enter into a Memorandum of Understanding for the county's 20-year commitment of mental health supportive services of the project's
NPLH tenants. HCD will monitor the project for ongoing compliance.
The two projects are known as 699 YVR on Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek with Resources for Community Development (RCD)
and Legacy Court on Fred Jackson Way in Richmond with Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) and Eden Housing.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the County’s ability to secure permanent supportive housing for persons with a serious mental illness who are Homeless,
Chronically Homeless or At-Risk of Chronic Homelessness will be diminished.

Subject:Continued Funding Application for FY 2022-23 for General Childcare and Development Program, CalWORKs Stage 2, and
Alternative Payment Program
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 98 (Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020), effective July 1, 2021, the following programs transferred from the
California Department of Education to the California Department of Social Services: General Child Care and Development Program,
CalWORKs Stage 2, California Alternative Payment Program.
California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (5 CCR), Division 1, Chapter 19, Subchapter 1, Article 5, Section 18010 (d) states,
“contractors that intend to accept the offer to continue services in the subsequent contract period shall respond to a Continued Funding
Application (CFA) request from the Child Development Division in accordance with the instructions and timelines specified in the request.”
On December 10, 2021, the California Department of Social Services issued Child Care Bulletin 21-23 notifying Executive Officers and
Program Directors regarding the Continued Funding Application (CFA) process for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23.
As part of the CFA requirements, a Board Order is required if the governing board requires approval prior to application submittal. By
authorizing the signature of the Employment and Human Services Director, the application will meet all requirements for submission to
execute FY 2022-23 CFA to CDSS.
Approval of this Board Order will allow the continued provision of the General Child Care and Development Program, CalWORKs Stage 2,
and Alternative Payment Program services to program eligible children and families.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the County will not receive funding to operate General Child Care and Development Program, CalWORKs Stage 2, and
California Alternative Payment Program.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This board order supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self-sufficient"; and 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing" by
offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children
throughout Contra Costa County.

In November 2021, Delta Diablo’s Information Technology Manager resigned leaving a critical void in their
staffing. To assist with the operation of their vital information technology systems, the Department of
Information Technology (DoIT) was able to begin performing services to ensure uninterrupted services to
the district’s technology services. DoIT has qualified staff to perform these services and is willing to assist
the district until a new IT Manager is hired.

County
Subject:2021 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County, as a member of the Bay Area UASI, will receive $634,686. Funds will be used to enhance public safety capabilities of law
enforcement agencies throughout the region by aggregating discrete criminal information sources into a unified platform. Without a regional
system, there exists no active solution for connecting data across jurisdictions. Expand existing systems to participate in other state, regional,
and national initiatives. Funding will also be used to: fund three prime movers for the Office of the Sheriff to assist with the movement of
critical equipment during mutual aid deployments, search and rescue missions and other disasters; to purchase 80 Class 1 and 2 Hazmat suits for
the County’s four participating Hazmat teams.
As the fiscal agent for the grant, the City and County of San Francisco has developed a standard form contract for use with all Bay Area UASI
partner agencies requiring full indemnification of the City and County of San Francisco. The County has agreed to previous inter-agency
agreements with the City and County of San Francisco, which contained the same language, to participate in regional homeland security efforts
and access important Federal funding.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If unapproved, the County will not receive its share of the 2021 UASI Grant funds, and risk management and planning for regional response
capabilities will need to be funded through another source or not performed at all.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Contract #23-724 with Wellsky Corporation
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
After looking at the limited number of FDA-approved blood bank LIS solutions, Wellsky's Cloud Services Transfusion Suite was determined to
be the most suitable and secure solution. Also, through demonstrations, we found that it had the best user experience. The demonstrators were
better able to answer questions about their product than other vendors considered. Wellsky's CarePort, skilled nursing facility care -
management system allows for coordination between providers and payers across the continuum to track and manage patients in real-time with
an established national network. Through a vast national network of hospital and post-acute providers, this care management system allows for
the seamless transition of patients to the next level of care with increased efficiency.
This contract obligates the County to indemnify Wellsky against third-party claims that arise out of County's use of the software and services.
The County may only terminate the contract due to a material breach by Wellsky, or in the event, the County does not appropriate funds in any
fiscal year for payments under the contract. The contract includes a limitation of liability limiting Wellsky's liability to County to an amount
equal to twelve months of payments.
Approval of this new Contract #23-724 allows the contractor to provide services through January 10, 2027.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center’s laboratory unit will not have an integrated blood bank system,
resulting in potential errors caused by manually entering data. Further, absent the automated care management process, requests from CCHS to
skilled nursing facilities for inpatient discharge are processed manually, jeopardizing patient care by putting CCHS at a disadvantage by the
hospitals who process their submissions electronically.

through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $350,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $700,000 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($350,000) and
50% Employment and Human Services Department ($350,000). (No rate increase)

Before contracting with Well Health, Inc. in May 2020, the patient engagement system utilized by Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS)
processed batches daily. As such, CCHS was only able to outreach to patients daily. WellApp, a patient engagement application, solves this by
providing built-in real-time integration within Epic. WellApp is a HIPAA-compliant messaging and patient engagement platform that connects
healthcare patient staff and patients on their existing text and messaging applications. Thus, allowing case managers, providers, and others the
ability to directly engage a single patient, a patient cohort, or our entire patient population. The past tool caused delays in patient outreach
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since using WellApp, CCHS has strived for better communication which helps to improve patient outcomes.

On July 13, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-322-21 to allow rate adjustments to provide cash flow and

Approval of Contract #74-322-22 will allow the contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there would be fewer step-down group home options available in the County and SED children who are
requiring this level of care may experience out of State placement.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This contract supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families
that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected
program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional
Assessment Scale (CAFAS) and placement at discharge to a lower level of care.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. AUTHORIZE initiation of a General Plan Amendment (GPA) process to consider changing the General Plan land use designation from
Agricultural Lands (AL) to Single-Family Residential Low-Density (SL) for a portion of a 23.9-acre parcel located at the intersection of
Camino Pablo and Sanders Ranch Road in the Moraga area, Assessor's Parcel No. 258-290-029. (County File #GP21-0004)
2. ACKNOWLEDGE that granting this authorization does not imply any sort of endorsement for an application to amend the General Plan, but
only that the matter is appropriate for consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. If the authorization is granted, the project applicant will pay application fees to cover the cost of processing the GPA.
BACKGROUND:
On November 17, 2021, the Department of Conservation and Development received documents from Wendell Rosen, LLP, describing a
proposed 15-lot single-family residential subdivision in the Moraga area (Attachment A). The subject site is designated AL on the General Plan
Land Use Element Map and zoned General Agricultural District (A-2). The applicant requests redesignation of a portion of the subject site from
AL to SL with an accompanying rezoning of the same portion from A-2 to Planned Unit District (P-1). Attachment B illustrates the existing and
proposed General Plan designations; Attachment C illustrates the existing and proposed zoning.
The subject site consists of one parcel totaling approximately 23.9 acres. The parcel fronts Camino Pablo and Sanders Ranch Road for
approximately 2,750 feet and narrows from over 500 feet wide at the southern end to a tip at the northern end. The topography is severe, rising
from an elevation of approximately 550 feet at Camino Pablo to over 700 feet at the parcel’s highest point. The parcel is vacant and used for
cattle grazing. To the south, west, and north are single-family homes and a stretch of Moraga Creek. To the east is an estate lot and vacant land
designated for agriculture. Attachment D is an aerial photo of the site and its surroundings.
The proposed project involves development of up to 15 single-family homes with several incorporated accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on 7.9
acres at the parcel’s southern end. The lots would be arranged along a new cul-de-sac that would intersect Camino Pablo opposite Tharp Drive

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and ascend the hill to an elevation of approximately 605 feet. Building pad elevations would range from approximately 570-618 feet. The
homes would be a mix of single- and two-story, anticipated in the 3,500-5,500 square foot range. The project also proposes frontage
improvements and landscaping along Camino Pablo.
The project site is inside the Urban Limit Line (ULL) and within the Town of Moraga’s sphere of influence. In August 2021 the Town
Council denied a similar proposal for a 13-unit subdivision that included a General Plan amendment and request for annexation of the
residential lots. Primary reasons given for the denial included:
The parcel is within a Wildland-Urban Interface and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as mapped by
CalFire.
The parcel is geologically unstable. Numerous landslides are present, some being in the area proposed for
development. Significant remediation grading, approximately 144,000 cubic yards, would be necessary.
The parcel is topographically prominent and within a scenic corridor. The project would be perched on the
hillside, making it highly visible and altering the area’s character.
Density increases should occur in the community’s center, not at its periphery.
The Town of Moraga’s existing General Plan designations allow for development of up to 6 units on 6.26 acres at the southern end of the
parcel and 1-3 additional units on the remaining 17.64 acres, which are designated Open Space. The County General Plan designation of
AL allows a maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres. As the parcel is 23.9 acres, up to 4 units theoretically could be developed
under the existing County General Plan. Thus, the proposed GPA requests a nearly 4-fold increase in units across the entirety of the parcel,
with the proposed cluster at the southern end being significantly more dense than the 0.2 unit/net acre density currently allowed.
To amend the General Plan the Board of Supervisors must make several findings, one being that the proposed amendment is “in the public
interest.” The Town of Moraga’s planning review has identified significant issues, particularly related to public safety. The project may run
afoul of several County General Plan policies related to public safety and hillside development. Staff also notes that the draft policy
language for the updated County General Plan limits subdivisions in High Fire Hazard Severity Zones to four parcels. Currently it is unclear
how the “public interest” finding could be made given that the project’s discernible benefits, marginally increased tax base and provision of
several ADUs, seem minimal relative to the identified policy concerns.
However, except in rare cases where a project as proposed clearly conflicts with County policy, and no apparent avenue for resolution
exists, it has been the County’s practice to initiate the GPA process and provide the applicant an opportunity to demonstrate the merits of
their proposal. Staff therefore recommends Board authorization to proceed with the GPA process with the understanding that authorization
to proceed does not imply the Board's ultimate endorsement of the application to amend the General Plan, but only that this matter is
appropriate for further evaluation.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board decides not to authorize initiation of the GPA process, then an application to amend the General Plan cannot be filed and the
subject site will retain its AL land use designation. The proposed residential project would not be able to proceed.

Re: South Camino Pablo General Plan Amendment Feasibility Request
(APN 725-829-001/258-290-029)
Dear Mr. Nelson:
As I previously discussed with you, we represent Dobbins Properties, LLC, the owners of
an approximately 23.9-acre parcel along the southwestern edge of unincorporated Contra Costa
County, bordering the Town of Moraga (APNs 725-829-001/258-290-029). This area is locally
known as Carr Ranch, and we are referring to the proposed development as “South Camino
Pablo.” The subject parcel is currently designated as “AL-Agricultural Lands” in the County’s
land use element map, and is zoned “A-2-General Agricultural District” in the County’s zoning
map.
We are requesting a General Plan Amendment Feasibility analysis to amend the General
Plan to designate the approximately 7.9-acre southernmost portion of this parcel with a single-
family residential designation so that the owners may develop that portion of the property with
15 single family homes, and incorporated accessory dwelling units. We propose that the
remaining approximately 16-acre northern portion of the property will remain designated as
“AL-Agricultural Lands” in the General Plan. Specifically, we are proposing an amendment that
would modify the designation in the County’s General Plan for the 7.9-acre portion of the parcel
to “SL-Single-Family Residential-Low Density,” which allows 1.0 to 2.9 single-family units per
net acre, and lot sizes up to 43,560 square feet. This would more than accommodate the proposed
project in this section of the property, while leaving more than two-thirds of the property as
designated agricultural land. Please see the attached site plan exhibit showing the existing
General Plan designation for the property and neighboring parcels, as well as the proposed
General Plan designations after the requested amendment.
If the County’s General Plan is amended as requested, or in another manner such that the
proposed development would be consistent with the General Plan’s Land Use Element, we
WENDEL ROSEN LLP

would then intend to apply to have the relevant portion of the parcel rezoned in conformance
with the County’s “P-1-Planned Unit District” provisions, as indicated on the attached site plan.
We look forward to the County’s analysis and feedback on this General Plan Amendment
Feasibility request. Uploaded to the County’s online planning application system along with this
letter is the exhibit site plan referenced above, as well as payment of the $750 deposit required to
initiate this feasibility review.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at ptuck@wendel.com or (510) 622-7605 or to
my colleague Patricia Curtin at pcurtin@wendel.com or (510) 622-7660 if you have any other
questions about the subject parcel, requested amendment, or the proposed development project,
or would like us to submit any additional information as part of this General Plan Amendment
Feasibility Request.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
WENDEL ROSEN LLP

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to pay $113,867.91 to Tri Delta Transit for emergency transportation services provided to
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period June 14, 2020 through July 3, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action would result in a one-time expenditure of $113,867.91 and will be funded 100% by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
Funds.
BACKGROUND:
During the period between June 14, 2020 and July 3, 2021 Tri Delta Transit was activated during the County’s ongoing response to COVID-19
in support of Emergency Function 1 (Transportation) as an asset to both the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Contra Costa
Health Services Department Operations Center (DOC) to provide scalable transportation solutions to community members and groups affected
by COVID-19 and to meet patient transportation needs at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC). Throughout most of their
activation, Tri Delta Transit was covered by the County’s emergency blanket purchase order and generated weekly invoices associated with
services rendered during that period. However, due to administrative oversight, staff turnover, and a variety of other factors expressed by the
vendor and HSD staff assigned to cover transportation,

County
Subject:Payments for Services Provided by Tri Delta Transit
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the vendor was unable to receive payment for services rendered in good faith before the window to encumber funds through the County’s
Emergency PO had expired.
Due to the aforementioned administrative oversight, staff turnover and other factors that inhibited the vendor from submitting invoices for
processing in a timely manner during the County’s activation and response to COVID-19, the vendor was not paid by the CCRMC for services
rendered in good faith. Therefore, the CCRMC has determined that Tri Delta Transit is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of services
rendered under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. The theory provides that where a vendor has been asked to provide services
without a valid purchase order, and the vendor does so to the benefit of the recipient, the vendor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of
those services.
The vendor and CCRMC have ultimately decided to demobilize utilization of Tri Delta Transit at this time in support of the ongoing response to
COVID-19 as a function of EF1 (Transportation) due to resource shortages on the vendor’s end and availability of nominal service providers to
meet the CCRMC’s needs as of July 3, 2021.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this board order is not approved, Tri Delta Transit will not be paid for transportation services rendered in good faith associated with the
County’s activation and response to Covid-19.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to purchase order
#023100 with Metropolitan Van & Storage Inc., to increase the payment limit by $425,000 to a new payment limit of $624,000 for additional
staging, storage, and delivery of emergency medical supplies as well as setup and demobilization support for community vaccination and testing
sites associated with the department’s ongoing response to COVID-19, for the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this amendment will result in additional expenditures of up to $425,000 and will be funded 100% by American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) allocations.
BACKGROUND:
Metropolitan Van & Storage has been providing support to the County’s initial and ongoing response to COVID-19 in the staging, storage, and
delivery of mutual aid supplies allocated from state and federal sources distributed to County departments, health systems, and community
organizations. Additionally, Metropolitan Van & Storage Inc. has assisted with large scale setup and demobilization of testing and vaccination
sites. This amendment request is required due to an unanticipated increase in utilization due to surges in need associated with the department’s
ongoing emergency response to COVID-19.

ACCEPT the Office of the Sheriff report, in accordance with Penal Code Section 4025(e), illustrating an accounting of all Inmate Welfare Fund
receipts and disbursements for Fiscal Year 2020/2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Penal Code Section 4025(e) states that money and property deposited in the Inmate Welfare Fund shall be expended by the Office of the
Sheriff-Coroner primarily for the benefit, education, and welfare of inmates confined within the jail. Any funds not needed for the welfare of
inmates may be expended for the maintenance of county jail facilities. Maintenance of county jail facilities may include, but is not limited to,
the salary and benefits of personnel used in the programs to benefit the inmates, education, drug and alcohol treatment, welfare, library,
accounting, and other programs deemed appropriate by the Sheriff. An itemized report of these expenditures shall be submitted annually to the
Board of Supervisors.
This fund received the majority of its revenues from inmate telephone commissions

FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time. However, the result of the recommendations herein, if implemented, are designed to maintain the County's fiscal stability
in FY 2022/2023 and improve it in subsequent years.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors, Department Heads, and our Employees worked and sacrificed to stabilize the County's finances during the last
decade. Now our task will be to preserve this legacy so as to prevent a return to those years in which we were making painful cuts to
programs and to the staff that was necessary to provide those services.
There are always factors over which the County has little or no control (such as a pandemic, federal and State budgets actions, economic
changes, and demographics) that will affect the size of the baseline budget and ultimately challenge the County’s budget. Over the next five
years we can expect more fiscal volatility due to the Federal Tax plan, State legislative action, as well as negotiated wage and benefit
increases.
The majority of the County's general purpose revenues are generated through property taxes. Revenue and Taxation Code section 51
provides that base year values determined under section 110.1 shall be compounded annually by an inflation factor not to exceed 2 percent.
Section 51(a)(1)(C) provides that, for any assessment year commencing on or after January 1, 1998, the inflation factor shall be the
percentage change, rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of 1 percent, from October of the prior fiscal year to October of the current fiscal
year in the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI) for all items, as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations.
Information from the Department of Industrial Relations shows that the CCPI increased from 286.843 in October 2020 to 302.793 in
October 2021. Rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of 1 percent, this is an increase of 5.561 percent. Accordingly, we will prepare our
2022 assessment roll using the maximum inflation factor of 1.02 (base year value change of 2%).
The Board of Supervisors has authorized the establishment of an Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice (D. 4, 11/10/20). Although the
Office has not yet been established, departments are encouraged to include the voices of diverse communities in budget development
discussions with the goal of advancing racial equity and/or social justice through County programs.
As per the norm, Department Heads will be expected to work closely with the County Administrator to design a balanced budget that
restricts the growth in net County cost while minimizing service delivery cuts. Wherever possible, categorical/program revenues will be
increased to offset the increased cost of doing business. Restrictions on increases in net County cost needed to balance the budget may
result in the loss of federal and State program revenues, and this added loss may cause program reductions.
Meet and Confer
Departmental budget requests are due to the County Administrator’s Office on February 4. At that time Department Heads will know which,
if any, positions may be affected by reductions necessary to balance the budget. Departments, in cooperation with Labor Relations, will if
necessary, begin the meet-and-confer process with employee representatives regarding the impact of potential program reductions on the
terms and conditions of employment for affected employees. Early planning will allow Departments a reasonable period of time to meet and
confer, and permit them to implement all budgetary required actions prior to July 1, 2022. Per the norm, this progress will allow the County
to adopt a budget that is balanced from the first day of the new fiscal year.
Public Notice
The County Budget Act requires that the Board of Supervisors publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation throughout the county,
stating when budget documents will be available and the date of Budget Hearings. The FY 2022/23 Recommended Budget document will
be available to the public approximately April 1, 2022.
Conclusion
Conclusion
The County Administrator will return to the Board on April 12 with a FY 2022/23 Recommended Budget that meets the requirements listed
above. Tuesday, April 12 will be reserved for FY 2022/23 budget hearings. Additionally, it is recommended that the County Administrator
return to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, May 10 for adoption of the FY 2022/23 Recommended County and Special District
Budgets, including any changes the Board makes on April 12.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delayed processing of the FY 2022/23 Recommended Budget and potential impact on the fiscal stability of the County and Special
Districts.

Revenue and Taxation Code section 51 provides that base year values determined under
section 110.1 shall be compounded annually by an inflation factor, not to exceed 2 percent.
Section 51(a)(1)(C) provides that for any assessment year commencing on or after
January 1, 1998, the inflation factor shall be the percentage change, rounded to the nearest one-
thousandth of 1 percent, from October of the prior fiscal year to October of the current fiscal year
in the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI) for all items, as determined by the California
Department of Industrial Relations.
Information from the Department of Industrial Relations shows that the CCPI increased from
286.843 in October 2020 to 302.793 in October 2021. Rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of
1 percent, this is an increase of 5.561 percent.
Accordingly, please prepare your 2022 assessment roll using an inflation factor of 1.02.
A list of the final inflation factors announced for current and prior years is enclosed. If you have

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/24 approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS 22-23”) for the period of July 1, 2022
through June 30, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. Since the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency dissolved (the “Dissolved RDA”), the tax allotment is
now deposited in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”), which is administered by the County Auditor-Controller.
Distributions are made semi-annually from the RPTTF to the Successor Agency by the County Auditor-Controller to fund the Successor
Agency's administrative budget and Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule. These funds are distinct and separate from other funds used by
the Department of Conservation and Development. According to State law, any obligation of the Successor Agency that cannot be funded by the
RPTTF would not be an obligation of the County.
BACKGROUND:
Resolution No. 2022-24 adopts ROPS 22-23, which is included as Exhibit A to this report. After adoption by the Successor Agency, ROPS
22-23 will be submitted to the Countywide Oversight Board for approval. The Oversight Board is scheduled to meet on January 24, 2022. As
required under Health and Safety Code Section 34179.6, ROPS 22-23 will be submitted to the State Controller's Office, Department of Finance
(DOF) and the County Auditor-Controller and will be posted on the Successor Agency's website. The DOF must receive ROPS 22-23 no later
than February 1, 2022.
ROPS 22-23 authorizes all payments to be made by the Successor Agency for enforceable obligations for the twelve-month time period between
July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. The payments noted on the ROPS are estimates. In most cases, assumptions made for ROPS 22-23 were based
on actual expenditures in the prior ROPS and expected expenditures in the upcoming period.

Subject:Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The title page of ROPS 22-23 shows that enforceable obligations require $8,287,374 from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (the
“RPTTF”) and $250,000 for Administrative RPTTF. This amount assumes the RPTTF has already set aside pass-through payments to
taxing entities and administrative costs for the County Auditor-Controller.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule, the County Auditor-Controller would not be able to allocate funds to the
Successor Agency for staffing services and payment of recognized obligations during this twelve-month period, and the Successor Agency
would risk defaulting on enforceable obligations.
