3 3 IOU Support for 2011 Title 24 The California Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) are actively supporting the California Energy Commission (CEC) in developing the state s building energy efficiency code (Title 24) Their joint intent is to achieve significant energy savings through the development of reasonable, responsible, and cost-effective code change proposals for the 2011 code update and beyond As part of the IOU effort, at the request of the CEC, we are hosting stakeholder meetings to get industry input and feedback on our code change proposals

4 Requirements for a Successful Code Change CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 4 For base code, a measure must: Be cost-effective based on the standards-induced additional first cost, maintenance costs, measure life, and energy cost savings typically according to the Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) life-cycle costing methodology and weather data to be provided by the California Energy Commission Be possible to implement using equipment that is available from multiple providers or that is reasonably expected to be available following the code change

5 5 IOU Stakeholder Meetings Process Typically holding three meetings: First: present scope, request data Code change direction and possible options Methodology Best practices, market data Second: present findings Results of data collection and analysis Cost effectiveness Strawman proposed code language Third/final: present proposed code language Will post code change language online in advance Phone/webinar meetings depending on feedback CEC s pre-rulemaking workshops scheduled for April/May

6 6 Submitting Comments Informal Comment Process Comments can be submitted to CASE authors, substantive comments will receive responses Questions and responses will not be posted online, but common or frequent questions will be communicated as necessary between stakeholders The team will work with stakeholders to resolve issues as best we can The CEC has a formal comment process during later stages of the official rulemaking process

11 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Background CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 11 PIER CaCx Study: Title 24 Acceptance Testing Requirements and Effectiveness Final Public Report late Outcome Improved Forms Improved Test Processes Outreach and education activities

12 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Analysis (PIER Study) CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 12 Evaluate acceptance testing enforcement activities 28 Phone Interviews, 4 Building Dept. visits Contractors, Engineers, Building Officials, Building Owners Investigate effectiveness of acceptance tests Field Tests: 10 unique tests at 10 commercial buildings 7 Mechanical, 3 Lighting Pre- and post-test technician interview

13 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Analysis Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 13 Form Test # of Times Performed MECH-2A NA7.5.1 Outdoor Air 8 MECH-3A NA7.5.2 Constant Volume Single Zone Unitary Air 2 Conditioner and Heat Pump Systems MECH-4A NA7.5.3 Air Distribution Systems 1 MECH-5A NA7.5.4 Air Economizer Controls 5 MECH-7A NA7.5.6 Supply Fan Variable Flow Controls 7 MECH-9A NA7.5.8 Supply Water Temperature Reset Controls 2 MECH- 10A NA7.5.9 Hydronic System Variable Flow Controls 2 LTG-3A NA7.6.1 Automatic Daylighting Control 2 LTG-2A NA7.6.3 Manual Daylighting Control, NA7.6.4 Automatic 1 Time Switch Control OLTG-2A NA7.7 Outdoor Lighting 1 Total 31

14 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Phone Interviews CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 14 Acceptance requirements and forms confusing Re-work sometimes needed Tests are sometimes performed, but Financial disincentive to include in bid Often not included in bid unless specified Forms not often requested Incorrect forms used, incomplete Onsite verification uncommon

15 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Phone Interviews CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 15 Who s responsible? Unclear who is responsible to specify tests Design / project engineer Unclear who is responsible to execute tests Installing contractor, TAB contractor, Cx agent Tests are valuable Equipment is functional Equipment meets design intent and code Intent is right, but in practice the requirements are unclear and complex

16 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Building Departments 16 Building departments underfunded and understaffed Acceptance Forms receive little review Training budgets significantly reduced Plans examination outsourced Need training and access to information Lack of training for contractors and building officials = frustration and low enforcement Forms don t reference detailed instruction (At-a-Glance guides), or CEC hotline #

17 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Building Departments 17 Too many forms / forms confusing Compliance Software produces inaccurate forms Not specify necessary test, specify unnecessary test Responsible Party not specified on forms

18 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 18 Most contractors familiar with tests More frequently since January 2010 Confusion in interpretation, forms unclear Most frequently performed: MECH-2A, MECH-3A, MECH-5A, MECH-7A, and LTG-2A If tests not specified on design docs, not performed

19 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 19 Why do tests fail? Technical issues, test effectiveness Technical barriers to compliance Non-technical barriers to compliance

20 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 20 Test Effectiveness Equipment deficiencies 31 tests = 16 passed, 11 failed, 4 neither 52% pass rate (16 of 31) 70% effective at identifying failures (16 out of 23 causes for failure) Test forms unclear, require interpretation Variations in technician interpretation

21 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 21 Faults Identified by Root Cause That Resulted in Failure of Acceptance Test # of Occurrances Broken equipment Sensor out of calibration Outside air damper out of calibration Test procedure Setpoint (not meeting code) Description of Failure

22 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 22 Technical Barriers to Compliance Insufficient contractor training Lack of thorough execution in the tests Confusion about the acceptance test language, and lack of clarifying reference information Poor test design

23 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Key Findings Field Tests CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 23 Non-Technical Barriers to Compliance Lack of enforcement by building departments Financial disincentives to include tests in bid Lack of coordination or assigned responsibility ( ownership )

24 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Code Change Proposals CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 24 Responsible Person s Declaration Statement Allow only a licensed contractor Maintains pathway of professional qualifications Improves the pathway to accountability CEC to retain electronic copies of Certificate of Acceptance documentation Similar to document registration procedures introduced for residential projects

25 25 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Specifics of Code Change Proposals EXAMPLE: MECH-2A Outdoor Air Acceptance Tests Construction Inspection: Changed Responsible Person s Declaration Statement to include Contractor only. Clarify intent statement and increase font size. Added reference to conducting MECH-7A with MECH-2A. Added details to Instrumentation that is needed to conduct the test. Added supporting documentation for reference including Standards and Nonresidential Compliance Manual. Added information under VAV checklist to be consistent with At-a-glance forms. Added information regarding fixed outside air damper as opposed to dynamically controlled damper. Added a notes section under construction inspection for contractor comments.

26 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Specifics of Code Change Proposals 26 EXAMPLE: MECH-2A Outdoor Air Acceptance Tests Functional Testing: Edited formatting to be consistent with At-a-glance forms, i.e. step # s. Added Mechanical Equipment Schedules as a reference document for design outside air requirements. Added Record VFD speed as part of procedure. Include VFD speed at full cooling. Include VFD speed at minimum flow (full heating). Edited part B Testing Calculations & Results: Add comment that intent of test is to ensure minimum outside airflow is achieved. Test required outside airflow within 10% of design value. Some systems not equipped with dynamic damper control thus test would fail. Title 24 only requires minimum outside airflow. Therefore added note to the form to explain if the test fails because of excessive outside air.

27 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Specifics of Code Change Proposals 27 Specific improvements to all other test forms and code language are appended to the end of this presentation and available online.

28 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Costs and Savings CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 28 Costs All tests existing, No new costs assumed Possible cost savings due to easier test processes Energy Savings On a per-test basis, No new energy savings Increased compliance rate Increased statewide savings

29 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Draft Code Language CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 29 Code Language No Changes because all tests are preexisting NA7 Responsible Person: Licensed contractor only Clarify calibration, require documentation Clarify intent, reference code Appended to Draft Report, available online

30 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Draft Code Language CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 30 Compliance Manual: Later update schedule Forms (Certificates of Acceptance) At-A-Glance Guides In development

31 PIER Study Acceptance Testing Remaining Tasks CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM 31 Estimated Statewide energy savings 2005 HMG testing and evaluation Evaluation of Nonresidential Acceptance Requirements Recover a portion of savings due to improved testing guidance and increased compliance Scale by new construction square footage
