Thank you,
California Energy Commission (CEC) staff requests your organization’s participation in the stakeholder analysis and engagement process that will inform the development of the California Building Performance Strategy Report and Recommendations (Report).
Senate Bill 48 (Becker, 2023) introduced Public Resources Code (PRC) 25402.16(b), which requires the California Energy Commission (CEC) to “…develop a strategy for using benchmarking data to track and manage the energy usage and emissions of greenhouse gases of covered buildings in order to achieve the state’s goals, targets, and standards…” and to submit that strategy to the legislature by August 1, 2026.
PRC 25402.16(d) requires the CEC to consider input from affected stakeholders including:
- Members of under-resourced communities and community-based organizations representing tenant advocacy, equity, and environmental justice concerns of under-resourced communities.
- Representatives of local city or county government
- Owners or operators of affordable housing
- Groups representing low-income residential and small commercial tenants, including organizations that provide legal services to those tenants
- Providers of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and building decarbonization equipment and services
- Labor unions that represent workers who implement building upgrades related to, or who manage or service, the energy infrastructure of covered buildings
- Technical building design professionals
- Facility operations professionals
- Multiunit residential and nonresidential building owners
- Energy utilities
Diverse, equitable, and inclusive stakeholder engagement is both required by SB 48 and essential to build a comprehensive policy process and inform the Report. Staff are seeking input from all stakeholders affected by building performance policies and would appreciate your organization’s participation.
Ways to Engage
- Subscribe to the CEC’s Building Performance Standards subscription list: Subscribe to receive updates, information, and event announcements related to the Building Performance Strategy Report and Recommendations proceeding.
- Request for Information (RFI): The initial comment period for the RFI officially closed on July 26th, 2024; however, CEC staff will continue to accept responses to the RFI anytime during the proceeding. View the Request for Information and Input on the California Building Energy Performance Strategy Report.
- Public Workshops: Upcoming workshops will be announced via the BPS Subscription List and will be visible on the California Building Energy Performance Strategy Report webpage.
- Public Comment: Public comment is open throughout the whole proceeding, and specific public comment periods will be open following public workshops. For instructions on how to submit comments, view the e-Filing and e-Commenting System User's Training Guide. To view documents and comments already submitted, view the Building Energy Performance Strategy Report Docket Log (CEC Docket #24-BPS-01).
- Additional engagement opportunities may be available. Please reach out to BPS@energy.ca.gov to request further information.
Who Should Participate?
We encourage participation from all stakeholders who may be affected by Building Performance Strategies, including, but not limited to, the stakeholder groups listed above that the CEC is required to engage by legislation.
Please assist us with our outreach by sharing this information with other affected stakeholders who should have the opportunity to engage in the development of this report. Your support is important to ensuring a comprehensive, inclusive process.
For further details or to participate, contact the CEC’s BPS Engagement Team at BPS@energy.ca.gov.

Thank you,
At the 10th Annual Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Symposium on October 28, 2024, attendees are invited to learn about the latest research and development innovations in a variety of clean energy topics and technologies. Two breakout sessions will focus on critical areas of decarbonization that have received increased attention and funding availability in recent years – Medium- and Heavy-Duty (MHD) Transportation Electrification, and Load Flexibility and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Integration.
Moderated by California State Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson (Assembly District 11), who chairs the Assembly Transportation Committee, the MHD Transportation Electrification session will address groundbreaking innovations in MHD transportation infrastructure that are putting California on the path to achieve its MHD Zero-Emissions Vehicle goals ahead of schedule. These goals call for 55% of Class 2b – 3 truck sales, 75% of Class 4 – 8 straight truck sales, and 40% of truck tractor sales to be zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035. Starting in 2036, 100% of sales of MHD vehicles in California must be ZEVs. The panel will showcase EPIC projects innovating on high-power charging technologies, public access charging business models, and distributed energy resource integration for grid-supportive truck charging – technologies that help save money for California ratepayers, increase accessibility for MHD vehicles, and provide greater resilience to the charging and grid systems
The Load Flexibility and DER Integration session will be moderated by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Associate Director of Energy Technology Area, Mary Ann Piette. While California has made great strides toward a 100% clean energy grid, more work is needed to reconcile power available from renewable resources with electricity demand. The most cost-effective way to accomplish this balancing is through automated load flexibility. Load management can provide substantial electricity cost savings to customers who opt-in to automated load shifting as well as to other consumers who do not have to share the costs of more expensive alternatives. EPIC funds have been instrumental in enabling progress in this space. Investments have added more energy storage, smart electric appliances, and bi-directional electric vehicle charging to the grid. These devices have the capability to respond to grid signals, reduce their load during peak usage and, in some cases, dispatch energy back to the system. Giving utilities and the system operator more tools to respond to greater variability in electricity demand generates more cost savings and reliability for California ratepayers.
The free one-day EPIC symposium starts at 8:30 AM on Monday, October 28, 2024, at the California Natural Resources Agency building at 715 P Street in Sacramento. In-person attendance will be limited, so please register early. The event will also be streamed on Zoom for those wishing to attend remotely.
Registration is required for all attendees, both virtual and in-person, through the Zoom Events platform.

At the 10th annual Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Symposium on October 28, 2024, attendees are invited to learn about the latest innovations in clean energy technologies. Two breakout sessions will focus on critical areas of decarbonization that have received increased attention and funding availability in recent years– Building Electrification and Industrial Decarbonization.
Moderated by California Energy Commission, Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the Building Electrification session will address California’s bold building electrification goals and how EPIC is helping to create a path toward achieving them. These goals include installing 6 million heat pumps and constructing 3 million climate-ready homes by 2030. Strategies to achieve these goals include such technological advances as developing low-Global Warming Potential refrigerant heat pumps and deploying plug-and-play building retrofits. The panel will showcase EPIC projects that have made breakthroughs in cost, innovation, or technology, accelerating progress toward the state's goals and saving money for California ratepayers.
The panel session on Industrial Decarbonization will be moderated by California Public Utility Commission, Commissioner Matt Baker. Industrial emissions are a challenge for California’s clean energy future, as industrial processes often require site-specific or sector-specific solutions. Companies may have difficulty adopting new technologies given the need to minimize disruption and continue output.
EPIC projects are contributing to the creation of new tools and technologies to decarbonize the industrial sector and capitalizing upon an influx of federal dollars and new private-sector funding opportunities. This panel will cover how innovative EPIC projects are assisting companies in reducing their energy output and decarbonizing key processes, which, in turn benefit the electric grid, ratepayers, and air quality for all Californians.
The free, one-day EPIC symposium starts at 8:30 AM on Monday, October 28, 2024, at the California Natural Resources Agency building at 715 P Street in Sacramento. In-person attendance will be limited, so please register early. The event will also be streamed on Zoom for those wishing to attend remotely.
Registration is required for all attendees, both virtual and in-person, through the Zoom Events platform.
- Register at the Zoom Event webpage.
ABOUT EPIC
The CEC is one of four EPIC administrators funding research, development, and demonstrations of clean energy technologies and approaches that will benefit electricity ratepayers of California’s three largest investor-owned electric utilities. EPIC investments lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome the barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory energy goals. This program is funded by California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.

Description: Staff is docketing two documents containing relevant portions of (1) Revised Draft Staff Report - 2025 Update of the Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing Requirements dated May 24, 2023, note that draft regulations are located in Appendix B, (Docket 22-BSTD-03 TN #: 250297), and (2) Draft 2025 Energy Code Express Terms dated November 3, 2023 (Docket 22-BSTD-01 TN#: 252915). Both documents were evaluated during pre-rulemaking activities and demonstrate that staff intended to remove procedures regarding Non-QII Shadow Audits (but leaving QII audits) in Section 10-103.3(d)5Cii and to remove In-lab Audit procedures in Section 10-103.3(d)5Ciii. The references to these removed procedures in Section 10-103.3(d)5B were inadvertently left in the 45-Day Express Terms.

Title: CalCERTS, Inc Final Notice – Closing as a HERS Provider
Description: This document was originally docketed to docket number 22-HERS-01, under TN# 257855. It is a notice from CalCERTS notifying the California Energy Commission that it will cease operations as a HERS Provider starting August 2, 2024, and will maintain access to its registry through September 2, 2024.
Because this change will result in only one provider in California, this document is being docketed to support the CEC's decision to remove requirements that require ECC-Rater Companies to report potentially sensitive financial data to a Provider, instead this information will be submitted to the CEC.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) stands firmly in support of the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) program, also referred to as the Energy Code Compliance program. This support extends to the Providers, Raters, and the many Rater Companies that have served California consumers over the last 20 years.
Unfortunately, on July 22, 2024, CalCERTS notified the CEC (CEC Docket 22-HERS-01) that it would cease operations as a HERS Provider starting August 2, 2024, and access to its registry will end on September 2, 2024. CHEERS remains approved by the CEC to register residential and most low-rise multifamily compliance documents for California's Energy Code for the 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022 code cycles.
Summary of Advisement:
- Enforcement Agencies - Beginning on September 3, 2024, enforcement agencies can no longer accept compliance documents registered by CalCERTS and may only accept compliance documents registered by CHEERS.
- Developers, contractors, and project managers:
- All open single-family compliance documents currently registered in CalCERTS must be registered in the CHEERS data registry.
- All open multifamily compliance documents currently registered in CalCERTS must either be registered in the CHEERS data registry or use the CEC PDF forms and retained by the developer if registration is not supported by CHEERS.
- CalCERTS Users and Raters - Contact CHEERS as soon as possible to initiate the transfer of Rater certification and projects registered with CalCERTS to CHEERS.
- Notice to All - At present only CHEERS may act as a data registry in California. The CEC itself cannot distribute compliance documentation to any person outside of the CEC.
Full procedural instructions are available at the CEC website, August 16, 2024 Regulatory Advisory.

Thank you,
On July 22, 2024, CalCERTS notified the California Energy Commission (CEC), via CEC Docket 22-HERS-01, that it will cease operations as a HERS Provider starting August 2, 2024. Its notice indicates that the CalCERTS Registry will remain accessible to registered users and building departments for document downloads until September 1, 2024. However, no new registrations will be issued by CalCERTS after August 2, 2024. While this news is unfortunate, the CEC sincerely appreciates CalCERTS' long-standing contributions to advance energy efficiency across California since 2005.
CHEERS remains approved by the CEC to register residential compliance documents for California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards for the 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022 code cycles. The CEC is evaluating options to expedite the process for CalCERTS-certified Raters to become certified with CHEERS. CHEERS is proactively reaching out to and assisting Rater Companies, Energy Consultants, and Builders to transfer active projects from CalCERTS to the CHEERS data registry. To learn more about CHEERS, visit www.cheers.org or send an inquiry to help@cheers.org.
The CEC is committed to supporting the Rater community through this transition and aims to continue strengthening the Energy Code Compliance program over time, beginning with proposed updates to the associated regulations in the 2025 Energy Code. As the CEC learns more about the specific challenges related to CalCERTS’ closure, more specific guidance will be provided in the coming weeks. The CEC is also in the process of updating the HERS Program webpage to offer guidance during this transition, including updates to the Frequently Asked Questions section based on feedback received through the Energy Code Hotline.
For more information, please use the Energy Code Hotline Submission Form or explore CEC’s various online resources.

Title: CGNP Opposes the WWGPI - May 8, 2024
Description: CGNP's filed document in the WIEB-CREPC's Proceeding regarding the West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative (WWGPI.) The WWGPI would provide significant commercial advantages to PacifiCorp in serving California load. Based on the 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision Hughes v. Talen Energy, if CAISO becomes a multistate ISO or RTO as proposed by the WWGPI, important California environmental legislation such as SB 1386 (Perata, 2006) could be nullified by federal preemption as established by the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause. For this reason, the WWGPI should be rejected, despite letters of support from the CPUC and CAISO, among other entities. The California legislature has rejected CAISO grid regionalization. The most recent rejection of CAISO grid rationalization was AB 813 (Holden, 2018.) PacifiCorp continues to aggressively lobby California decision-makers so it can sell even more of its mostly coal-fired generation into the lucrative California power market.

On Monday, October 28, 2024, join clean energy leaders, policymakers, grantees, and entrepreneurs in exploring the latest technology and energy innovations at the 10th Annual Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Symposium.
After convening virtually for the past four years, we are excited to announce this year’s event will be held in-person in downtown Sacramento! The event will also be livestreamed for remote attendees.
Every year, EPIC invests more than $130 million in new technology breakthroughs to meet California’s energy and climate policy goals and deliver benefits to electric ratepayers of the state’s three largest investor-owned utilities – Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E).
Participate in this year’s symposium to discover how EPIC is pioneering energy innovations, charting a brighter future for California, and expanding equitable opportunities of clean energy to all Californians.
FAST FACTS
2024 EPIC Symposium
Monday, October 28, 2024
California Natural Resources Agency
715 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
More information on registration and agenda details coming soon!
About EPIC
The CEC is one of four EPIC administrators funding research, development, and demonstrations of clean energy technologies and approaches that will benefit electricity ratepayers of California’s three largest investor-owned electric utilities. EPIC investments lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome the barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory energy goals.
This program is funded by California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.

SAVE THE DATE – 2024 EPIC Symposium
On Monday, October 28, 2024, join clean energy leaders, policymakers, grantees, and entrepreneurs in exploring the latest technology and energy innovations at the 10th Annual Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Symposium.

Every year, EPIC invests more than $130 million in new technology breakthroughs to meet California’s energy and climate policy goals and deliver benefits to electric ratepayers of the state’s three largest investor-owned utilities – Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E).
Participate in this year’s symposium to discover how EPIC is pioneering energy innovations, charting a brighter future for California, and expanding equitable opportunities of clean energy to all Californians.
FAST FACTS
2024 EPIC Symposium

More information on registration and agenda details coming soon!
About EPIC
The CEC is one of four EPIC administrators funding research, development, and demonstrations of clean energy technologies and approaches that will benefit electricity ratepayers of California’s three largest investor-owned electric utilities. EPIC investments lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome the barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory energy goals.
This program is funded by California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.

Title: Economic and Fiscal Impact Statement for Title 20 Update
Description: This document is a required filing and disclosure with California's Department of Finance, also referred to as a "Form 399". This document records the economic and fiscal impacts (if any) that are reasonably likely to occur if an amendment to regulation is made.
The California Energy Commission has determined that the proposed amendments to regulations are not likely to cause economic or fiscal impacts to the State of California, as the proposed changes are administrative in nature: the majority of changes reflect preemptive changes to federal law, and the remaining changes are updates to regulatory language that similarly maintain programmatic status quo.

Requirements focus on developing the most advanced and cost-effective prefabricated homes that are all-electric, use on-site solar PV, have on-site energy storage, and have a ten-year total cost of ownership that is less than or equal to a home built to U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards for manufactured homes or the 2022 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for modular construction. This item includes three projects totaling $10,743,178 (EPIC Funding) Contact: Jason Tancher (Staff Presentation: 10 minutes)
- Institute of Gas Technology dba GTI Energy. Proposed resolution approving agreement EPC-23-018 with Institute of Gas Technology dba GTI Energy for a $2,775,570 grant to develop energy-efficient and grid-interactive zero carbon manufactured homes, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. These homes will meet the 2022 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, exceeding the current HUD standards that apply to manufactured homes. The homes, located in San Diego and Santa Cruz counties, will incorporate insulation and sealing technologies to create a highly efficient envelope, utilize building materials with enhanced fire resistance, and implement on-site PV generation and battery energy storage.
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Proposed resolution approving agreement EPC-23-019 with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for a $5,000,000 grant to design and build advanced modular homes in Bay Point in Contra Costa County, a disadvantaged community, and adopting staff's determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. The demonstration project will consist of three townhome units on a single site and include solar and energy storage, advanced high efficiency electric heat pump equipment, and a lower cost of ownership over ten years than typical modular homes.
- ReMo Homes Inc. Proposed resolution approving agreement EPC-23-020 with ReMo Homes, Inc. for a $2,967,608 grant to develop, test, and demonstrate zero-carbon or near zero-carbon, cost-effective, modular, and manufactured homes that can be readily deployed, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. Research and development of the prefabricated homes will integrate advanced energy efficiency and renewable energy features addressing home affordability, and will also create resilient, zero-carbon energy efficient prefabricated homes.

California Energy Commission Adopts Flexible Demand Appliance Standards for Pool Controls
For Immediate Release: October 18, 2023
Contact: mediaoffice@energy.ca.gov
Phone: (916) 654-4989
Rule saves consumers money, reduces emissions, and supports grid reliability
Sacramento – The California Energy Commission (CEC) adopted the first-in-the-nation Flexible Demand Appliance Standards for residential pool controls today. This adoption represents a major milestone in California’s efforts to ensure technologies in homes and businesses support the state’s clean energy priorities while also saving consumers money.
The new standards, which take effect in September 2025, require that pool controls default to operating pool equipment when both electricity prices and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are low. Flexible demand features allow consumers to automate their appliances so that energy use times can be scheduled, shifted, or curtailed to reduce GHG associated with electricity generation – without negatively affecting consumers.
The new rules also establish cybersecurity standards to protect consumers using flexible demand appliances connected to the internet. Settings may be changed by users at any time to meet their needs, and consent is required for the device to send and receive signals.
The standard will help California achieve its goal to make up to 7,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity available through the smarter use of existing clean energy resources. Altogether, the rule is expected to deliver nearly 400 MW of permanent shift flexible capacity by 2030 and 560 MW by 2033. In the first year, the standards will make it possible for consumers to shift 64 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity usage off peak. By the time every installed pool control offers flexible demand, the yearly load shift potential goes up to 682 GWh of consumer electricity use. This avoids 394,000 metric tons of GHG emissions, the equivalent to removing 85,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road.
In addition to helping stabilize the electric grid, consumers will save money on their electricity bills. Consumers on a time-of-use rate plan can save an estimated $1,131 over the life of the pool control. Doing so also helps avoid GHG emissions by operating appliances when energy is cheapest and cleanest.
Pool controls are the first of many devices expected to be upgraded through the CEC’s new authority to adopt flexible demand appliance standards, as authorized by Senate Bill 49 (Skinner, Chapter 697, Statutes of 2019). This authority complements the historical role the agency has played in adopting world-leading standards for appliance efficiency, building energy efficiency, and load management.

Project Title: Pool Controls Rulemaking
TN Number: 252510
Title: Final Proposed Regulatory Language
Description: The document contains the final proposed regulations for pool controls, with two nonsubstantive modifications:
First, section 1693(b)(1) proposes that the effective date be, “the earlier of either the compliance date of the federal energy conservation standards for dedicated purpose pool pump motors with motor total horsepower from 1.15 THP to 5 THP or 2 years after adoption by the Energy Commission”. As DOE has now published in the Federal Register a compliance date of September 29, 2025, which is earlier than October 18, 2025, staff proposes to replace this language with the date “September 29, 2025”.
Second, there is a typographic error in the definition of “pool control”, where the phrase “safety interlock or shutoff controls” is instead written “safety interlock of shutoff controls”.

Thank you,
The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Load Management Standards (LMS) include numerous compliance deadlines, measured from April 1, 2023, the effective date of the regulations. Some of these compliance dates, e.g., the first one on July 1, 2023 (see 20 C.C.R. sections 1623(b) and 1623.1(c)), fall on a weekend, holiday, or other day where the CEC offices are otherwise closed.
According to CEC regulations regarding the computation of time, the timeframe to complete regulatory actions should be “computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, holiday or other day when the commission offices are closed, in which case that day is also excluded.” (20 C.C.R. section 1003.)
Consistent with the intent of this regulation, where an LMS compliance date falls on a weekend, holiday, or other day when the CEC offices are closed, regulated parties may comply with the regulatory requirement on the next business day.

Information about the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) load flexibility efforts are now available in one place! A new webpage has been created that defines load flexibility and provides links to the CEC’s load flexibility programs.
Load flexibility is the practice of balancing energy usage with electricity supply by adjusting electricity usage. This strategy provides many benefits over the standard approach of adapting generation to usage. Load flexibility provides:
- Opportunities for electricity bill savings for customers who sign up for new highly flexible rates and use smart thermostats or other controls to automatically manage large energy loads
- Reduced risk of blackouts and brownouts due to high electricity demand
- Cleaner air and less pollution from power plants as a result of using renewable electricity when it is available

Thank you,
This message is to address projects permitted under the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) in cases where the projects have specified Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rated equipment in the design, but the equipment installed uses a SEER2 rating.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) published final rule of increased efficiency standards for residential air conditioners and heat pumps takes effect on January 1, 2023, can be found at https://www.regulations.gov/document/EERE-2014-BT-STD-0048-0102. The updated DOE test procedure (PDF) is used to determine new product efficiency ratings and is intended to be more representative of installations in homes. The URL for the test procedures can be found here (PDF). As part of the update, SEER, energy efficiency ratio (EER), and heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) ratings will no longer be used and will be replaced by new ratings SEER2, EER2, and HSPF2. This new system of measurement will apply to all single-phase air conditioners and heat pumps less than 65,000 Btu per hour.
Air conditioners that are installed in California on or after January 1, 2023, must comply with the new standards. Heat pumps are allowed a sell-through provision where the new standards apply to products manufactured on or after January 1, 2023. HVAC manufactures have been preparing for these changes and have products using the SEER2, EER2, and HSPF2 ratings.
In a scenario where SEER rated equipment is specified in the project design on the residential certificate of compliance (CF1R) and equipment with only a SEER2 rating is installed and reported on the certificate of installation (CF2R), Table 1 may be used to convert the manufacturer’s SEER2 rating value to a SEER rating value to determine if the installed equipment is compliant with the Energy Code.
Table 1. Equations Used to Convert Respective Ratings
|
System Type |
Equation |
|
Split System Air Conditioner |
SEER = SEER2 X 1.05 |
|
Split System Air Conditioner |
EER = EER2 X 1.04 |
|
Split System Air Conditioner |
HSPF = HSPF2 X 1.17 |
|
Packaged Air Conditioner |
SEER = SEER2 X 1.04 |
|
Packaged Air Conditioner |
EER = EER2 X 1.04 |
|
Packaged Air Conditioner |
HSPF = HSPF2 X 1.18 |
|
Space Constrained System |
SEER = SEER2 X 1.01 |
|
Space Constrained System |
HSPF = HSPF2 X 1.17 |
|
Small Duct High Velocity System |
SEER = SEER2 X 1.00 |
|
Small Duct High Velocity System |
HSPF = HSPF2 X 1.18 |
Source: California Energy Commission
The installer performs the conversion when completing the CF2R. The actual SEER2 rating value must be included in the form notes as “SEER2 rating = XX.X” and the converted SEER rating value must be entered in the efficiency value field.
The building official must be able to confirm that the SEER2 rating of the equipment installed on site matches the SEER2 rating value included in the form notes and that the SEER rating value is converted accurately using Table 1.
The same method described above can be used to demonstrate compliance for the EER2 and HSPF2 ratings.
The Energy Standards Hotline (title24@energy.ca.gov) is available to help with Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6) questions.

Updates support grid reliability, lower utility bills through automation and time-of-use rates
Sacramento - The California Energy Commission (CEC) today adopted updates to the state’s load management standards that will give consumers more timely and accurate information on electricity costs, to help them manage energy use – especially around times when demand is high.
As the state’s primary energy policy and planning agency, the CEC has statutory authority to adopt standards to help shift energy use. Load management offers California another tool to support grid reliability particularly in late afternoon and evening when demand increases as the sun goes down. Today’s action is expected to produce $243 million in net benefits over 15 years and could reduce annual peak hour electricity use by 120 gigawatt hours, equivalent to powering 20,000 average California homes for a year.
The updates will help customers take better advantage of utilities’ lower time-dependent rates so smart appliances can be used and buildings can automatically respond to more frequent rate changes that reflect electricity grid conditions. This will save consumers money by shifting usage to times of cheaper or abundant electricity. In addition, a better-balanced grid slows the rise of electricity costs, strengthens the grid, reduces the need for more fossil fuel plants, and avoids electricity transmission and distribution congestion.
“This update is a huge leap into the 21st century, using digital approaches to unlock benefits for consumers by enabling them to automate their electricity use around cheaper rates and changing grid conditions,” said Commissioner Andrew McAllister. “Automated load management reduces energy bills, makes better use of abundant renewable energy resources available during the day, and strengthens grid reliability.”
Under the updated standards, which will take effect April 1, 2023, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, San Diego Gas & Electric, Los Angeles Water and Power, and large community choice aggregators will be required to make the following improvements:
- Develop retail electricity rates that change at least hourly to reflect grid costs and greenhouse gas emissions and are approved by their governing board.
- Maintain up-to-date rates in a database called the Market Informed Demand Automation Server (MIDAS), which will provide a central repository for all rate information.
- Educate customers about time-dependent rates and automation technologies to encourage their use.
The changes help advance energy equity by introducing fairer compensation mechanisms, creating bill savings for customers with flat loads in disadvantaged communities or who are able to shift usage to when electricity is cheaper, and lowering energy costs for all customers by reducing peak electricity demand.
Since 1978, the CEC encouraged load management through utility air conditioner cycling programs that automatically reduce use at commercial or industrial sites, for example, during emergency summer peak loads. As technology has advanced over time, more appliances such as thermostats, pool pumps and residential water heaters have been automated to reduce use or shift time of use from high-demand hours, in response to signals from utilities and energy aggregators.

8th Annual EPIC Symposium October 4, 2022
Want to know the latest in EPIC research?
With the growing impacts of climate change — including extreme heat, wildfires, and drought — the shift to sustainable energy has never been so urgent. California continues to ratchet up its actions as a global leader in the transition to a clean, resilient, and inclusive energy economy. The state is deepening its investment in technological innovation — bringing new products and services to market, driving technology performance and cost improvements, and expanding the opportunities of clean energy to all Californians. Helping drive this transformation, EPIC’s public-interest research is empowering California innovators and entrepreneurs.
Register today for the 2022 EPIC Symposium to discover the cutting edge of clean energy research and learn from clean energy visionaries working to ensure a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more resilient energy future for California.
For more information on the event agenda, and how to register, visit the California Energy Commissions event page.
Here are just a few highlights:
Lightning in a Bottle: The Future of Electric Vehicles and the Grid
As electric vehicle sales continue to accelerate, the integration between vehicles and the grid becomes increasingly important to unlock new value propositions for consumers and to advance reliable and resilient electric service. Join California Energy Commission Chair David Hochschild as he speaks with government, industry, and grid management leaders about the future of vehicle-grid-integration in this living room chat.
The Great Implementation: California and Federal Partnerships to Build the Clean Energy Future
The 2022–23 California state budget and recent federal legislation — including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act – make significant investments in the development and deployment of clean energy technologies. Hear from federal and state leaders about the vision for this catalytic infusion of public investment for the state and communities.
Advancing Equitable Building Decarbonization in California
Innovative strategies are needed to accelerate building decarbonization, especially in under resourced communities. Join the CEC to learn how research projects are unlocking new energy transition pathways for California to achieve its renewable energy and decarbonization goals.

(EPIC Funding) Contact: Michael Ferreira (Staff Presentation: 10 minutes)
- Swift Solar Inc. Proposed resolution approving Agreement EPC-21-012 with Swift Solar Inc. for a $2,995,200 grant to develop perovskite-silicon tandem photovoltaic (PV) technology; integrate the technology into an onboard EV charging application; and test the system for efficiency, shade tolerance, durability, ease of integration, and aesthetics, and adopting staff's determination that this action is exempt from CEQA.
- Intertie Incorporated. Proposed resolution approving Agreement EPC-21-014 with Intertie Incorporated for a $2,000,000 grant to design, develop and build an advanced power electronics module (PEM) that enables a commercially available fast charger to supply high power to EVs to allow ultra-fast charging to be deployed quickly at almost any location, and adopting staff's determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. The project team shall directly connect a fast charger to energy storage and solar resources using the PEM to validate the improved energy efficiencies and reduced operating costs realized from the direct current-coupling technology.
- GreenFire Energy Inc. Proposed resolution approving Agreement EPC-21-015 with GreenFire Energy Inc for a $2,705,228 grant to advance the development of its Steam Dominated GreenLoop (SDGL) system in an existing low-production geothermal well, and adopting staff's determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. The SDGL system is intended to help restore power production of inactive or low production geothermal wells by extracting heat, but not water, via a closed loop, down bore heat exchanger. The ability to produce power from steam dominated resources without losing water or pressure is crucial to future power generation at steam dominated resources where geothermal production will decline without water injection.
- Icarus RT, Inc. Proposed resolution approving Agreement EPC-21-016 with Icarus RT, Inc. for a $1,087,588 grant to conduct the first commercial demonstration of the company’s 280-kW Quartet hybrid PV/thermal solar plus storage cogeneration system at the project site, and adopting staff's determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. The Quartet system extracts waste heat from PV panels using Icarus’ proprietary heat extractors to improve PV performance while also converting the heat energy into hot water on-demand. The results of the proposed project will demonstrate several aspects of commercial readiness as well as produce real-world data on panel cooling, performance improvements, energy storage, and cost savings.
- Carnot Compression Inc. Proposed resolution approving Agreement EPC-21-017 with Carnot Compression Inc. for a $2,028,350 grant to advance an innovative air compression technology for industrial applications through applied research and development, and adopting staff's determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. The isothermal compression technology has the potential to be at least 20 percent more energy efficient than comparable incumbent air compressors currently on the market. The advanced technology will optimize the air-end components, and through field demonstrations, apply the improved components in relevant customer environments.

Business Meeting Agenda
December 8, 2021
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Remote participation instructions below, after line items.
Public comment is accepted solely through the Zoom platform.
The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) December 8, 2021 Business Meeting will be held remotely, consistent with Assembly Bill 361 (Rivas, Chapter 165, Statutes of 2021) to improve and enhance public access to state meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options. The public can participate in the business meeting consistent with the direction provided below.
Please note that the CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time and the end time is an estimate based on the agenda proposed. The business meeting may end sooner or later than the time indicated depending on various factors.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 20, section 1104(e), any person may make oral comment on any agenda item. To ensure the orderly conduct of business, such comments will be limited to three minutes or less per person. Any person wishing to comment on information items or reports (non-voting items) shall speak during the general public comment portion of the meeting and have three minutes or less to address all remaining comments.
THE CEC WILL CONSIDER AND MAY TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING:
1. Consent Calendar.
Items will be taken up and voted on as a group. A commissioner may request that an item be moved and discussed later in the meeting.
- Guidelines for California's Solar Electric Incentive Programs (Senate Bill 1), Seventh Edition. Proposed resolution to revise the Senate Bill 1 Guidelines. Senate Bill 1 (Murray, Statutes of 2006) established the framework for the California Solar Initiative, which directs the CEC to develop eligibility criteria, conditions for incentives, and rating standards that must be met to qualify for ratepayer-funded incentives. The proposed resolution amends the Senate Bill 1 Guidelines by changing the start date for when the CEC will only accept a safety certification issued for photovoltaic modules by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) with UL 61730 in its scope of recognition. Staff proposes to change the start date from January 1, 2022, to a deadline of two years after the Occupational Safety & Health Administration determines that UL 61730 is an appropriate test standard for the NRTL program. Contact: Edgar Rodriguez
- Prospect Silicon Valley. Proposed resolution approving Agreement ZVI-21-009 with Prospect Silicon Valley for a $190,058 grant to develop a planning blueprint document that will outline the transition of Berkeley Unified School District’s diesel school bus fleet to battery electric school buses while mitigating the operational challenges and risks of deploying new technologies into existing operations, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. (General Fund Funding) Contact: Kate Reid
- Prospect Silicon Valley. Proposed resolution approving Agreement ZVI-21-010 with Prospect Silicon Valley for a $190,048 grant to develop a planning blueprint document that will outline the transition of Twin Rivers School District’s diesel school bus fleet to battery electric school buses while mitigating the operational challenges and risks of deploying new technologies into existing operations, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. (General Fund Funding) Contact: Kate Reid
- Schneider National, Inc. Proposed resolution approving Agreement ZVI-21-011 with Schneider National, Inc. for a $200,000 grant to prepare a blueprint document and a suite of tools that will facilitate the rapid transition of its facilities and fleets to support the widespread deployment of medium duty/heavy duty zero emission vehicles and distributed energy resource technologies to enable ZEV goods movement operations in California, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. (General Fund Funding) Contact: Kate Reid
2. Small Power Plant Exemption (SPPE) for the Great Oaks South Backup Generating Facility (20-SPPE-01).
Consideration and possible approval of an order adopting the Committee Proposed Decision on the Application for an SPPE for the Great Oaks South Backup Generating Facility. The Committee issued the Proposed Decision on November 24, 2021, recommending that the CEC certify a Final Environmental Impact Report and addendum prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), adopt a mitigation monitoring or reporting program, and grant an SPPE for the Great Oaks South Backup Generating Facility. The project would include 36 3.25-megawatt (MW) and three 500-kilowatt standby diesel generators to provide an uninterruptable power supply to the Great Oaks South Data Center when electrical power is not provided by the grid. Located at 123, 127, and 131 Great Oaks Boulevard in San Jose, California, the generators would be restricted to generating electricity to meet the maximum electrical demand of the Great Oaks South Data Center of 99 MW and would not be connected! to the grid. Contact: Ralph Lee (Staff Presentation: 15 minutes)
- Possible closed session deliberation on the above described SPPE. [Government Code Section 11126(c)(3)].
3. Order Instituting Rulemaking Proceeding for Amendments to Procedures for Delegating Geothermal Certification Authority and for SPPEs.
Proposed Order Instituting Rulemaking to consider amendments to the CEC’s powerplant licensing processes and procedures to 1) simplify the process for the CEC to delegate full authority for the certification of geothermal powerplants within a county which has adopted a geothermal element for its general plan and demonstrates that it has an equivalent certification program (Title 20, California Code of Regulations, sections 1860-1870), and 2) streamline the procedures for exempting thermal powerplants with a generating capacity of up to 100 MW from the CEC’s exclusive certification authority (Title 20, California Code of Regulations, sections 1934-1948 and Appendix F). The proposed amendments would streamline the administrative procedures for these decisions to accelerate the permitting of energy projects that serve the Governor’s state energy procurement directives, while ensuring that all environmental, public health, safety, and reliability requirement! s of the Warren-Alquist Act are met. Contact: Jared Babula (Staff Presentation: 5 minutes)
4. Touchstone Benchmarking, LLC.
Proposed resolution approving a purchase order totaling $1,135,150 over three fiscal years for the proprietary Touchstone Benchmarking cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. This agreement will support the CEC’s statewide building energy benchmarking program by providing benchmarking software and support services to increase benchmarking compliance through creating and maintaining a comprehensive list of covered buildings and providing a platform to conduct building owner outreach, building tracking, and public disclosure of energy use data.

Please note that the CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time and the end time is an estimate based on the agenda proposed. The business meeting may end sooner or later than the time indicated depending on various factors.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 20 section 1104(e), any person may make oral comment on any agenda item. To ensure the orderly conduct of business, such comments will be limited to three minutes or less per person. Any person wishing to comment on information items or reports (non-voting items) shall speak during the general public comment portion of the meeting and have three minutes or less to address all remaining comments.
THE CEC WILL CONSIDER AND MAY TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING:
1. Consent Calendar.
Items will be taken up and voted on as a group. A commissioner may request that an item be moved and discussed later in the meeting.
- North County Transit District. Proposed resolution approving Amendment 1 to Agreement ARV-20-013 with North County Transit District (NCTD) to augment the agreement by $1,986,250 for a total grant of $6,000,000 and modify the special terms and conditions, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This augmentation fully funds NCTD’s grant funding request. (General Fund Funding) Contact: Esther Odufuwa
- Ocean Protection Council. Proposed resolution approving Agreement RMB700-21-004 with the Ocean Protection Council for the CEC to receive $199,951 to collect and compile cultural resources data for California North Coast offshore wind energy development affecting state lands and waters. CEC staff will compile cultural resources data into a geographic information system as a common platform for state agencies and North Coast California Native American tribes to make management decisions concerning cultural resources on shore, near shore, and offshore that may be affected by offshore wind development. Contact: Gabriel Roark
- American Institute of Chemical Engineers Center for Hydrogen Safety. Proposed resolution approving Agreement 600-21-005 with the Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS), a technical entity of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, for a $50,000 contract which provides the CEC membership for 12 months. Membership allows the CEC to participate in member meetings, working groups, workshops, briefings, and events.

(Clean Transportation Program Funding) Contact: Spencer Kelley
- California Clean Energy Fund dba CalCEF Ventures. Proposed resolution approving a scope of work change to Icarus RT, Inc.’s California Sustainable Energy Entrepreneur Development (CalSEED) Initiative small grant award, previously approved at the February 10, 2021 Business Meeting, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. CalCEF Ventures administers the CEC’s CalSEED Initiative under Agreement 300-15-007. Icarus originally received a small grant to demonstrate a 100kW system. After significant customer discovery and market research, Icarus proposes to instead demonstrate that same technology with a 25kW system and a 50kW system that uses the heat from the cooled panels to pre-heat hot water. This change will not hinder expected key outcomes for the project. (EPIC Funding) Contact: Joshua Croft

The California Energy Commission (CEC) seeks stakeholders’ input on the pre-rulemaking draft proposed regulatory language for the Flexible Demand Appliance Standards (FDAS) required by Senate Bill 49 (Skinner, Chapter 697, Statutes of 2019). The FDAS promote technologies to schedule, shift, and curtail appliance operations to benefit consumers and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with electricity generation, while supporting electricity grid operations.
The draft proposed regulatory language would establish standards including definitions, test procedures, labeling and reporting requirements, certification, cybersecurity, consumer consent, and enforcement procedures.
The CEC is providing a pre-rulemaking draft of the proposed regulatory language to inform the public and to solicit feedback in coordination with the request for information (RFI) that was released on September 1, 2021. The draft proposed regulatory language can be found in docket 20-FDAS-01 [https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/Lists/DocketLog.aspx?docketnumber=20-FDAS-01].
Comments on the draft proposed regulatory language are due to the docket on or prior to November 1, 2021.

SACRAMENTO – The California Energy Commission (CEC) today adopted the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) for newly constructed and renovated buildings that will produce benefits to support the state’s public health, climate and clean energy goals.
As the state's primary energy policy and planning agency, the CEC adopts standards every three years to cost-effectively increase the energy efficiency and lower the carbon footprint of buildings. Homes and businesses use nearly 70 percent of California’s electricity and are responsible for a quarter of the state’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
“Buildings profoundly influence our health, environment and economy. Into the future they will use less energy and emit less pollution while still being comfortable and healthy,” said Commissioner J. Andrew McAllister, who is the lead commissioner on energy efficiency. “The 2022 Energy Code firmly pivots California’s buildings toward the clean, low-carbon technologies that are the bedrock on which our collective path forward will rest. This foundation will help the state meet its critical long-term climate and carbon neutrality goals."
The 2022 update will be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), which is scheduled to consider it in December 2021. If approved by the CBSC, it would go into effect on January 1, 2023, giving builders, contractors and other interested parties a year to gear up for the changes.
The 2022 Energy Code focuses on four key areas in newly constructed homes and businesses:
-
Encouraging electric heat pump technology for space and water heating, which consumes less energy and produces fewer emissions than gas-powered units.
-
Establishing electric-ready requirements for single-family homes to position owners to use cleaner electric heating, cooking and electric vehicle (EV) charging options whenever they choose to adopt those technologies.
-
Expanding solar photovoltaic (PV) system and battery storage standards to make clean energy available onsite and complement the state’s progress toward a 100 percent clean electricity grid.
-
Strengthening ventilation standards to improve indoor air quality.
The impact of climate change is accelerating, bringing an even greater need for buildings that are comfortable, efficient and resilient. Each updated code guides the construction of buildings to better withstand extreme weather, lower energy costs and reduce climate and air pollution.
Over the next 30 years, the 2022 Energy Code is estimated to provide $1.5 billion in consumer benefits and reduce 10 million metric tons of GHGs, equivalent to taking nearly 2.2 million cars off the road for a year. Expanded adoption of new energy-efficient technologies will help reduce costs of the technology over time.
For more information, view the executive summary and learn more at the 2022 standards web page.
About the California Energy Commission
The California Energy Commission is leading the state to a 100 percent clean energy future. It has seven core responsibilities: developing renewable energy, transforming transportation, increasing energy efficiency, investing in energy innovation, advancing state energy policy, certifying thermal power plants, and preparing for energy emergencies.

As of June 9, 2021, public comment will be accepted solely through the Zoom platform.
The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) June 9, 2021 Business Meeting will be held remotely, consistent with Executive Orders N-25-20 and N-29-20 and the recommendations from the California Department of Public Health to encourage physical distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. The public may participate consistent with the direction in these Executive Orders.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 20 section 1104(e), any person may make oral comment on any agenda item. To ensure the orderly conduct of business, such comments will be limited to three minutes or less per person. Any person wishing to comment on information items or reports (non-voting items) shall speak during the general public comment portion of the meeting and have three minutes or less to address all remaining comments. Public comment will be accepted via the Zoom platform, not the Verizon phone line.
THE CEC WILL CONSIDER AND MAY TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING:
1. Consent Calendar.
Items will be taken up and voted on as a group. A commissioner may request that an item be moved and discussed later in the meeting.
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Proposed resolution approving Amendment 6 to Agreement 600-13-009 with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to incorporate a bailment agreement involving six vehicles between the CEC and the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center, a U.S. Department of the Navy Federal Laboratory, and adopting staff’s determination that this action is exempt from CEQA. (Clean Transportation Program funding) Contact: Adeel Ahmad
- Electric Transportation Community Development Corporation. Proposed resolution approving Agreement 600-20-011 with the Electric Transportation Community Development Corporation for an $18,000 contract that provides the CEC membership in the electric vehicle (EV) Strike Force for 2021 and 2022. Membership allows the CEC to participate in member meetings, working groups, workshops, briefings, and events that build common ground between stakeholders and inform policy development to advance accessible, equitable, and affordable EV infrastructure in California. (Clean Transportation Program funding) Contact: Sharon Purewal
- Stanfield Systems, Inc. Proposed resolution approving Purchase Order 20-409- 00-008 for $99,839.04, for support and maintenance of the Dynasim modeling software, which houses the CEC’s transportation demand forecasting models. This agreement will provide technical support to the underlying front-end and database and provide further support for transitioning maintenance of the models to CEC staff. (COIA funding) Contact: Jesse Gage
- Alamitos Energy Center (13-AFC-01C). Possible approval of a proposed order modifying Air Quality Conditions of Certification of the Alamitos Energy Center to optimize project operations by changing the operating hours of the project’s Phase 1 combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT) and Phase 2 simple-cycle gas turbines (SCGT). The changes are necessary to increase CCGT operating hours and decrease SCGT operating hours to better reflect the expected demand by the electrical system. Other changes include modifying air emission limits to be proportionate to operating hours. Staff concludes that the modifications to the Air Quality Conditions of Certification meet the requirements of section 1769.1(a) and would not result in a significant impact on the environment nor cause the project to fail to comply with applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. Contact: Joseph Douglas
2. Appointment of Members to the Disadvantaged Communities Advisory Group.
The purpose of the Disadvantaged Communities Advisory Group (DACAG) pursuant to Senate Bill 350 (de León, Chapter 547, Statutes of 2015) is to review and provide advice on proposed clean energy and pollution reduction programs and consider whether those proposed programs will be effective and useful in disadvantaged communities. The following three candidates have been nominated to fill three vacancies on the DACAG. Contact: Noemí Gallardo (Staff Presentation: 5 minutes)
- José Hernandez: A Community Engagement Manager at the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator. Hernandez would be initiating a first term of service from April 2021 to April 2023.
- Elena Krieger: The Director of Research at Physicians, Scientists, and Engineers for Healthy Energy. Krieger would be initiating a first term of service from April 2021 to April 2023.
- Curtis Silvers: The Executive Vice President of the Los Angeles Brotherhood Crusade. Silvers would be initiating a first term of service from April 2021 to April 2023.
3. Assembly Bill 2127 Revised Staff Report.
Proposed resolution approving the Assembly Bill (AB) 2127 Revised Staff Report. AB 2127 (Ting, Chapter 365, Statutes of 2018) tasked the CEC with creating a report every two years to assess California’s charging infrastructure needs for EVs. The report assesses the type and number of chargers and their locations. It considers policy goals for the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Contact: Kiel Pratt (Staff Presentation: 10 minutes)
4. Solar Energy Generating Systems III-VII (87-AFC-01C).
Proposed order approving the Decommissioning Plan for the Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) III-VII solar thermal power plant. Staff has concluded that potential environmental impacts from the activities in the Decommissioning Plan would be less than significant. The project would remain in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, and standards with the continued implementation of existing conditions of certification in the Final Commission Decision for SEGS III-VII and adoption of newly proposed decommissioning conditions. Contact: John Heiser (Staff Presentation: 5 minutes)
5. 2022 Title 20 Data Collection Regulation Modifications.
The CEC is initiating a rulemaking proceeding to update the Data Collection regulations contained in Chapter 3 of Title 20, Division 2 for the 2022 code cycle. Staff will provide an overview of the regulations package and adoption schedule. Contact: Ryan Eggers (Staff Presentation: 5 minutes)

Title: Introduction to Flexible Demand Appliance Standards
Description: Senate Bill 49 (SB 49, Skinner, Chapter 697, Statutes of 2019) gives the California Energy Commission (CEC) the authority to set flexible demand appliance standards and labeling requirements. This staff paper introduces the statutory requirements for flexible demand appliance standards within the context of a broader statewide energy policy framework that enables progress toward a 100 percent clean electricity supply. Flexible demand appliance standards will promote technologies to schedule, shift, and curtail appliance operations to support grid reliability, benefit consumers, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity generation. While a small number of other flexible demand appliance initiatives do exist internationally, to date no federal or state regulations have mandated the robust flexible demand appliance standards consistent with those envisioned by SB 49.

Meeting Schedule and Presentations are available on our website for June 24, 2020, Joint Agency Workshop on Vehicle-Grid Integration and Charging Infrastructure Funding
Session 2 (9:30 AM - 11:45 AM) - Charging Infrastructure Funding Programs
Session 3 (1:30 PM - 5:00 PM) - Scaling VGI and Charging Infrastructure
The California Energy Commission’s appliance standards produce significant energy savings for consumers while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the products.
The standards are developed with industry, energy efficiency advocates, and others through an open, transparent process. To ensure manufacturers comply, the Energy Commission issues monetary penalties to manufacturers and retailers that sell appliances that are not certified to the Energy Commission as compliant with the efficiency standards.
At the time of adoption, compliance dates are required by statute to be set at least one year in the future to allow manufacturers time to comply.
Here are the standards set by the Energy Commission that take effect in 2019, along with the frequently asked questions for each one:
January 1 – Desktop computers, thin clients, mobile gaming systems, portable all-in-ones, and notebook computers – These encourage more efficient power management of computers when they are not being used. This is the first tier, with the second tier taking effect July 1, 2021.
June 1 – Portable electric spas – The standards update standby power performance for standard, exercise and combination spas, and put into effect standards for inflatable spas. They also clarify the subcategories of spas, update the test procedure and require energy labels.
July 1 – LED light bulbs – The first tier of standards for LEDs, which took effect January 1, 2018, included efficiency and quality improvements. The second tier, which kick in July 1, add amendments to strengthen efficiency and limit power in network standby mode in bulbs designed to be connected to power at all times.
July 1 – Computer monitors – These establish an amount of power a monitor or display can consume when on, in sleep mode, or off, and measures the energy consumed in each mode separately. This is the first tier, with the second tier effective on January 1, 2021.
In the coming year, the Energy Commission plans to consider standards for commercial and industrial air compressors, irrigation sprinklers, replacement pool pump motors, fluorescent light bulbs, and air filters.
Learn more about the standards by signing up for the Energy Commission’s appliance listserv.

CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION ADVISORY
ESSENTIAL CONSTRUCTION WORKERS – HERS Raters and ATTCP Technicians
The safety and well-being of all Californians is of upmost importance to the California Energy Commission (CEC). Consistent with Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order to combat the COVID-19 Pandemic (N-33-20, dated March 19, 2020), the CEC advises all of its partners and stakeholders to abide by its directives. Under this order, the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) State Public Health Officer has ordered, “all individuals living in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors, as outlined at https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19. In addition, and in consultation with the Director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, I! may designate additional sectors as critical in order to protect the health and well-being of all Californians.”
The State Public Health Officer has designated essential critical infrastructure workers needed at this time to support critical sectors (https://covid19.ca.gov/img/EssentialCriticalInfrastructureWorkers.pdf). This list of essential workers is updated as needed.
Since Home Energy Rating System (HERS) raters and Acceptance Test Technicians Certification Program (ATTCP) technicians test and inspect energy efficient equipment installed in buildings (https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/building-energy-efficiency-standards) they fall under the category of inspector as defined by CDPH below:
“Construction Workers who support the construction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of construction sites and construction projects (including housing construction).”
All workers are instructed to follow the public health guidelines issued by CDPH and local public health officials, including social distancing and staying home when sick to protect those they serve, their coworkers, and themselves (https://covid19.ca.gov). As efforts to control the spread of the virus continue, state and local officials are regularly updating their directives and guidance. Because a person can be infected with novel coronavirus without exhibiting any symptoms, the CEC advises technicians and raters not to enter homes or buildings in which sensitive populations are, except under emergency situations. When possible, delay of HERS and ATTCP inspections, testing or field verification is recommended until such time as the orders are lifted. To learn more about the latest COVID-19 response measures and directives in your area, contact your local building ! and public health departments.
For more information, please contact the CEC's Energy Standards Hotline. Your understanding, cooperation, and patience in these challenging times is appreciated.

Thank you.
COVID-19 has forced many employees of entities applying for Energy Commission (CEC) funds to telework. As a result, the CEC has received requests to temporarily waive the requirement that applicants provide a manual signature on application materials.
Accordingly, until further notice, any requirement in CEC contract, grant, and loan solicitations, as well as in requests for offer, to provide a signature is waived (even if it is in the screening criteria). NO SIGNATURE, EVEN ELECTRONIC, IS NECESSARY.
This waiver only applies to application materials due from this date forward. It does not apply to material submitted for due dates that have already passed.
In an effort to reduce the administrative cost of making this change, the CEC is sending out this one notice instead of issuing an individual addendum to each contract, grant, and loan solicitation or request for offer.

Proposed resolution approving the 2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report (CEC-100-2019-001-CMF). Senate Bill 1389 (Bowen, Chapter 568, Statutes of 2002) requires the CEC to prepare a biennial IEPR that assesses major energy trends and issues facing the state’s electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel sectors and provides policy recommendations to: conserve resources; protect the environment; ensure reliable, secure, and diverse energy supplies; enhance the state’s economy; and protect public health and safety (Public Resources Code § 25301(a)). The CEC prepares these assessments and associated policy recommendations every two years, with updates in alternate years, as part of the IEPR. Contact: Heather Raitt. (Staff presentation: 10 minutes)
6. Local Ordinance Applications (19-BSTD-06).
Possible approval of nine resolutions for nine separate applications submitted by local jurisdictions for energy ordinances that exceed the energy efficiency requirements of the 2019 Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6). Contact: Danuta Drozdowicz. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
a. SANTA ROSA. New ordinance requires all new low-rise residential construction to be all-electric (with no propane or natural gas supply plumbing). Also requires that both single-family and multifamily buildings meet prescriptive requirements including solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage, compact hot water distribution, and central fan-integrated ventilation, with an exception for accessory dwelling units.
b. BERKELEY. New ordinance requires that newly constructed mixed-fuel residential, high-rise residential, hotel/motel and nonresidential buildings meet increased efficiency standards and include “electric ready” wiring to gas appliances. In addition, newly constructed nonresidential, high-rise residential and hotel/motel buildings are required to install solar PV systems.
c. MOUNTAIN VIEW. New ordinance requires all new construction (including single-family and duplex residential, multifamily, mixed-use, hotel, and commercial) to be all-electric and to include solar PV systems.
d. WINDSOR. New ordinance requires all new low-rise residential construction (including single-family, detached accessory dwelling units and multifamily up to three stories) to be all-electric.
e. MILPITAS. New ordinance distinguishes between all-electric, electrically heated (gas used for cooking and clothes drying) and mixed-fuel (gas used for heating and hot water). Requires that electrically heated and mixed-fuel new single-family, duplex, multifamily (under three stories), low-rise alterations and additions, nonresidential, and mixed-occupancy buildings must meet efficiency standards that are stricter than the 2019 Energy Code.
f. HEALDSBURG. New ordinance requires new low-rise residential buildings (single-family and multifamily of three stories or less) and new high-rise multifamily and nonresidential buildings use electricity for space heating, water heating, and clothes drying. Natural gas is permitted for cooking, fireplaces, pool and spa equipment; pre-wiring for electric appliances is required if natural gas appliances are installed.
PALO ALTO. New ordinance requires new nonresidential, high-rise residential and hotel/motel buildings install PV. If mixed-fuel, buildings must be all-electric ready and, with the exception of manufacturing facilities, meet higher efficiency standards than all-electric buildings. Also prohibits new low-rise residential buildings and additions from using natural gas for fireplaces, water heating, space conditioning, clothes drying, and cooking.
h. LOS GATOS. New ordinance requires that new single-family residential, accessory dwelling unit, and low-rise residential buildings be all-electric, including all interior and exterior applications, and are also prewired for the installation of battery storage.
i. BRISBANE. New ordinance requires both onsite energy generation and building electrification. Solar hot water systems may be substituted for PV if they demonstrate equivalent energy savings. As of January 1, 2021, new nonresidential and residential buildings will be required to be all-electric, except for natural gas cooking and fireplaces, and prewired for electric appliances if natural gas is used.
7. Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) Kitchen Range Hood Directory and Program Approval (19-BSTD-10).
Proposed resolution approving the use of AHAM’s Kitchen Range Hood directory as an alternative to the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) directory consistent with Title 24, Part 1, § 10-109(h). AHAM is requesting approval for use of its program and directory as an alternative procedure for demonstrating compliance with the Energy Code where a directory published by HVI would otherwise be required or specified. The CEC is able to “authorize alternative procedures or protocols that demonstrate compliance with Part 6.” Use of the AHAM directory would be an alternative, equivalent procedure for demonstrating that kitchen range hoods possess attributes that comply with Part 6 requirements. Contact: Peter Strait. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
8. Right-Energy Title 24 Residential Compliance Software (19-BSTD-01).
Proposed resolution approving Right-Energy Title 24 2019.1.1 from Wrightsoft for demonstrating performance compliance with the 2019 low-rise residential, single- family provisions of the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Public Resources Code § 25402.1(b)). Contact: Larry Froess. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
9. Adopting Energy Commission Determination Finding Glendale Water and Power's Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Consistent with the Requirements of SB 350 (18-IRP-01).
Proposed resolution adopting CEC's determination finding Glendale Water and Power's IRP Filing consistent with requirements of SB 350. Contact: Liz Gill. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
10. Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
Proposed resolution approving Agreement RMB600-19-010 with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for the CEC to receive $5,000,000 from the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust to fund hydrogen refueling stations throughout the state. Cooperation between BAAQMD and the CEC will ensure that hydrogen refueling infrastructure funding decisions are optimized to meet the complementary objectives of BAAQMD and the CEC. Contact: Phil Cazel. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
11. Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Community Solar Program (19-BSTD-08).
This item will be heard no earlier than 1 p.m.
Proposed resolution approving SMUD's revised application to administer the new Neighborhood SolarShares Program to meet the 2019 Energy Code requirements under § 10-115, which establishes the requirements that must be met for a Community Shared Solar Electric Generation System to be used by a builder/developer as a compliance alternative to the onsite PV requirement in § 150.1(b)1. Contact: Bill Pennington. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
12. Minutes.

California Energy Commission statement on lawsuit dismissal challenging lighting rules
SACRAMENTO – Expanded rules for light bulbs, used predominantly in home lamps and sockets (known as general service lamps or GSLs), took effect January 1, 2020 clarifying what types of bulbs fall under the existing standard of 45 lumens per watt. The National Electrical Manufacturing Association and American Lighting Association tried to challenge these rules, but today dismissed its lawsuit. The following is a statement by California Energy Commissioner J. Andrew McAllister regarding the dismissal:
“The Energy Commission is pleased to hear about the National Electrical Manufacturing Association’s decision to drop its lawsuit. This is a big win for consumers. Congress recognized and codified into law California’s leadership in advancing efficient lighting. We have consistently led the nation to ensure that the most energy efficient appliances are on the shelves, and we have encouraged lighting manufacturers to innovate. California’s rules make the most efficient and affordable lighting technologies available to all Californians.”
For more information on how to choose the right light, consumers can visit the University of California, Davis California Lighting Technology Center, which developed a video and print out guide, in partnership with the California Energy Commission (CEC).
McAllister’s quote is also available as a downloadable audio file.

CEC Approves First Local Energy Efficiency Standards That Go Beyond 2019 Statewide Requirements
Commission also adopts Energy Efficiency Action Plan to provide roadmap to 2030
Contact: Amber Pasricha Beck
amber.beck@energy.ca.gov
916-654-4989
SACRAMENTO – Today, the California Energy Commission (CEC) approved six applications for local energy ordinances that exceed statewide requirements of the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
“There is a clear mandate to decarbonize our energy systems and our economy,” said Commissioner Andrew McAllister. “At the state level, we should partner with, learn from, and support local jurisdictions who develop innovative solutions to improve the energy performance of their communities.”
The ordinances focus on building decarbonization – the strategic lowering of climate-changing emissions from buildings – including five that move toward building electrification. Local ordinances approved include the following requirements:
- City of Menlo Park – New residential construction must use electric space and water heating, but may use gas cooking and fireplaces. New nonresidential construction must be all-electric and install solar generation. Allows for some exceptions, on a case-by-case basis.
- Cities of San Jose, San Mateo, and Santa Monica; County of Marin – New buildings that include natural gas are required to be more energy efficient than all-electric buildings.
- City of West Hollywood – New buildings and major modifications must include either solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, or a vegetative roof, and larger buildings must have additional energy and water efficiency measures.
A Legacy of Local Leadership
Since 1978, California has repeatedly updated statewide minimum building energy efficiency standards as required by state law. After each update, many local jurisdictions have taken advantage of unique authority that allows for the adoption of standards exceeding the state minimum. Historically, such local ordinances have served as a bellwether for statewide standards, providing a place to test market readiness, drive innovation, and bring down the cost of efficient building technologies.
Adoption of local standards has gained momentum over time. The 2010 update to CalGREEN –the state’s standards for green buildings – sparked the adoption and approval of two dozen local ordinances between 2010 and 2011. However, this new wave of local standards with a focus on decarbonization is unprecedented in the state’s history, highlighting the ability and willingness of Californians to innovate and tackle global problems at a local level.
The 2019 standards take effect January 1, 2020. Statewide standards focus on four key areas: smart residential photovoltaic systems, updated and cost effective insulation standards, residential and nonresidential ventilation requirements to ensure healthy indoor air quality, and nonresidential lighting updates to take advantage of the rapid improvement in LED lighting technology.
2019 California Energy Efficiency Action Plan
The CEC also approved the 2019 California Energy Efficiency Action Plan, which addresses building energy efficiency, efficiency in the industrial and agricultural sectors, barriers to energy efficiency for low-income and disadvantaged communities, and using efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in buildings.
“As the 2019 California Energy Efficiency Action Plan reports, if we are to reach our aggressive goals of doubling efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the program structures through which California has historically encouraged efficiency will comprise only part of the solution,” writes McAllister in the report’s foreword. “Energy use must be both highly efficient and flexible to the maximum extent possible.”
In 2015, California lawmakers set an ambitious goal to achieve a statewide cumulative doubling of energy efficiency savings and demand reductions in electricity and natural gas end uses by January 1, 2030. The action plan findings show that improved financing options and availability, increased program participation, improved code compliance, and increased equipment turnover is necessary for California to meet its energy efficiency goals.
The plan outlines the following recommendations:
- Create a resource to leverage funding from multiple programs (local, state, and private market) and combine additional clean energy options (distributed-solar, battery storage, electric vehicles, demand flexibility)
- Develop common data storage, visualization, and analytical tools for energy policy purposes across state agencies
- Further develop energy efficiency as a resource for procurement purposes so it can compete alongside solar, wind, and other energy sources
- Initiate supportive program designs such as pay-for-performance and tariff on-bill financing
- Increase support for energy-efficiency workforce development and local compliance of energy standards
- Grow the demand flexible technology market and work to decarbonize buildings
The action plan, developed through numerous workshops throughout the state and incorporating comments from other state agencies, companies, nonprofits and the public, will be updated every other year.
More details are available in the CEC’s business meeting agenda.

California Energy Commission (CEC) staff is posting support materials to Docket # 19-BSTD-02 for the proposed variable capacity heat pump (VCHP) performance compliance option and accompanying compliance software. Staff requests that written comments be submitted no later than Friday, November 8, 2019. The VCHP performance compliance option will be presented for approval at the November 13, 2019, business meeting.
Background
VCHP systems are not currently credited with better than the minimum seasonal energy efficiency ratings (SEER) and heating season performance factors (HSPF) when complying with the performance standards in the California Title 24, Part 6 due to uncertainty regarding their installed performance.
VCHPs have been studied in the Central Valley Research Homes (CVRH) Project, a multi-year effort to test residential energy efficiency measures and technologies in four unoccupied, highly instrumented homes of different vintages in Stockton, California.
To address VCHP manufacturer's requests for a performance credit for VCHP systems, the data generated in the CVRH projects was used to develop algorithms for VCHP system performance compliance option. The compliance option incorporates additional VCHP efficiency credit calculation capabilities into the Title 24 performance compliance software.
Staff presented the VCHP compliance option proposal and accompanying software at a public workshop on February 15, 2019. Subsequent to the public workshop, CEC staff has prepared a report that clarifies eligibility requirements and provides support materials such as new compliance documents and field verification procedures that will be necessary for implementing the proposed compliance option.
All documents posted to the docket may be viewed at: https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/Lists/DocketLog.aspx?docketnumber=19-BSTD-02 .
Public Comment
Written comments: Written comments may be submitted to the CEC in advance of the business meeting scheduled to occur on November 13, 2019; staff requests that written comments be submitted no later than Friday, November 8, 2019 to provide time for staff review.

Title: Charting a Path to a 100 Clean Energy Future”
Description: CPUC Intervenor Californians for Green Nuclear Power, Inc. (CGNP) submits this CPUC filing in R.16-02-007 as one of eight exhibits supporting the continued safe operation of Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) beyond 2025 as an essential component of California's Path to a 100% Clean Energy Future. Diablo Canyon's pair of safe, reliable, cost-effective, and zero-emissions power reactors are California's largest generation plant by far, producing about 9% of California's in-state generation - the equivalent of more than 5 (five) Hoover Dams annually. In 2010, the California Energy Commission (CEC) commissioned the California Science and Technology Commission (CSTC) to prepare a pair of reports regarding the path to a 100% Clean Energy Future. The CSTC's report conclusions were clear. The safe and cost-effective solution was a dramatic expansion beyond the four commercial nuclear power reactors then in operation. The eminent CSTC scientists and engineers concluded California would require about 30 such reactors

The goal of this project is to engineer a low- cost, easy-to-assemble ground-mounted PV system that can be stowed flat to withstand winds up to 150 mph. This PV technology is composed of ground-mounted PV solar array that is pre-fabricated in a factory, shipped to a PV project site in standard shipping containers, and rapidly deployed using common hand tools. This innovation minimizes complexity in the design of the technology and enables large projects to be quickly deployed. s. ReJoule Incorporated, Impedance-Based Battery Health Management for Large Format Lithium-ion Battery Packs, Chung, Zora, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop a portable battery diagnostic system that can be embedded in an EV battery pack management system to continuously monitor battery health while detecting and preventing thermal runaway. This battery diagnostic technology is more accurate and faster than competitors, and will be able to self-calibrate based on the individual battery pack characteristics which vary depending on the EV model and year. t. Noon Energy, Inc., Rechargeable Carbon-Oxygen Battery, Graves, Christopher, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop and test a closed system, passive-flow prototype battery that uses carbon and oxygen. This technology is expected to provide long duration storage for less than $50 per kWh at double the energy density of Li-ion batteries. The Noon Energy team expects the battery will add less than 3 cents per kWh to fully balance solar and wind on the grid. u. Coreshell Technologies, Inc., Thin-Film Battery Electrode Coating Technology, Tan, Jonathan, $150,000. The goal of this project is to collect demonstration data on a battery electrode coating technology expected to lower the cost of Li-ion batteries by 35 percent while doubling battery life. This electrode coating can be applied using roll-to-roll deposition instead of the standard vacuum application processes, and can be easily and economically integrated into existing battery manufacturing processes in a non-disruptive fashion that further decreases the cost of the battery. v. Antora Energy, Solid State Thermal Battery, Briggs, Justin, $150,000. The goal of this project is to prototype an inexpensive thermal energy storage system. By storing energy as heat in inexpensive raw materials and converting that heat back to electricity with high-efficiency PV modules exposed to light radiating from the hot storage medium, the technology delivers energy storage for less than $10/kWh – over an order of magnitude cheaper than Li-ion batteries. w. ActiveMEMS LLC, Powering Next-Generation IoT via Advanced Piezoelectric MEMS, Aktakka, Erkan, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop high-performance piezoelectric energy harvesters that use tiny machinery vibrations to generate electricity. This technology will enable new IoT sensors to be powered without wiring or batteries resulting in sensors that are an order of magnitude cheaper, and have a higher power density and smaller form factor compared to commercial energy harvesters. x. EnZinc Inc., Safe, High Performance Rechargeable Zinc Battery, Burz, Michael, $150,000. The goal of this project is to validate and prototype an innovative battery chemistry that combines a proprietary zinc sponge anode with nickel, silver, or carbon cathodes for different applications. This battery technology is anticipated to match the performance of Li-ion while achieving the much lower price point of lead-acid batteries and will be safer than both chemistries. y. Arvind Simhadri, Prefabricated Affordable Renewable Energy Housing, Simhadri, Arvind, $150,000. The goal of this project is to explore and validate the concept for prefabricated housing that includes solar, storage, and community energy management. The homes will provide an affordable, quickly deployed renewable energy solution for those that need transitional housing due to disasters such as wildfires and earthquakes. 12.

Notice of Availability California Energy Demand Updated Forecast, 2018-2030
On December 6, 2018, the California Energy Commission conducted a workshop to present and discuss the California Energy Demand Updated 2018 – 2030 Forecast (CEDU 2018). CEDU 2018 provides updated 10-year forecasts for electricity demand in California and for major utility planning areas within the state. CEDU 2018 updates earlier forecasts provided in the California Energy Demand 2018 – 2030 Forecast (CED 2017) by incorporating more recent economic and demographic projections, more recent projections of electric vehicle and behind-the-meter photovoltaic system adoption and adjusting for the latest historical data available for consumption, peak demand, temperatures, and electricity rates.
Following the workshop, Energy Commission staff, in response to stakeholder comments, made further revisions to CEDU 2018 forecasts for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and consequently for the Northern California Non-California Independent System Operator (ISO) planning areas. Energy Commission staff also identified and corrected a minor error in the calculation of line losses which affected CEDU 2018 forecasts of energy needed to serve load for the Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison planning areas and minor calculation errors in hourly demand forecasts for Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Valley Electric Association transmission access charge areas. Energy Commission staff corrected CEDU 2018 Statewide and California ISO territory forecasts accordingly.
The following documents constituting CEDU 2018 will be considered for adoption at the January 9, 2019, Energy Commission Business Meeting.

These individual follow-on funding awards are for a maximum of $450,000 each. (EPIC funding) Contact: Joshua Croft. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes) a. CalSEED Initiative (2018 Prototype Awards) i. CodeCycle LLC, Oakland, California, Expanding Coverage of Advanced Compliance Technology, with Ongoing Central Valley Demonstration, Kim Goodrich and Dan Suyeyasu, $450,000. The goal of this project is to expand the functionality of software that improves building energy code compliance by using data-driven web and mobile software to streamline the compliance process for design teams, contractors, and building inspectors. Current approaches to energy code enforcement are largely paper-based, but CodeCycle converts complex energy standards into easy-to-understand interfaces for design teams and building departments. CodeCycle’s technology currently covers the commercial lighting requirements of Title 24, Part 6. During the Prototype Award project, the team will expand the software’s coverage to include additional sections of the code such as commercial envelope, and HVAC, as well as the residential energy standards. ii. Nativus, Solana Beach, California, Hyper-Efficient Rotary Air Conditioner, Matt Miller, $450,000. The goal of this project is to create and test a prototype, highly efficient portable room air conditioner with a substantially lower weight and a 50 percent power reduction compared to the industry standard while providing similar cooling capacity. This efficiency gain is made possible via a proprietary rotary heat exchanger that combines the heat exchanger surface, motor, and compressor with a centrifugal fan that greatly increases energy efficiency by removing the “boundary layer” from a traditional heat exchanger. With a successful demonstration at the lab-scale, Nativus will use the Prototype Award to move development of their technology to the prototype-scale and conduct further component- and system-level validation. iii. PowerFlex Systems Inc., Los Altos, California, Optimal Load Sharing of DCFC and Level-2 Charging at Work, Cheng Jin, $450,000. The goal of this project is to prototype an expanded software system that jointly optimizes multiple levels of electric vehicle (EV) charging, solar PV generation, energy storage, customer preferences, and building load. As the need increases for large-scale workplace EV charging, site owners will seek to lower their whole-site peak daily load. With the Prototype Award, Powerflex Systems will implement a prototype system that can jointly optimize Level-2 and Level-3 EV charging on the same electrical infrastructure in a way that is optimal with respect to solar generation and building loads, as well as other objectives such as minimizing electricity costs of drivers, and minimizing demand charges. iv. Sepion Technologies, Emeryville, California, EV BOOST (Electric Vehicle – Battery Optimization Opportunities for Sustainable Transportation), Peter Frischmann, $450,000. The goal of this project is to scale a prototype battery membrane that enables drop-in, roll-to-roll manufacturing of lithium-metal anode batteries with significantly greater energy density compared to traditional graphite anode lithium-ion batteries. This technology maintains the necessary safety characteristics and competitive costs of traditional lithium-ion batteries by avoiding the need for large scale reconfiguration of existing manufacturing lines. In the Concept Award, Sepion demonstrated their membrane’s ability to support stable cycling with lithium-metal anode batteries–outperforming the current commercial separators. During the Prototype Award, the team will scale up to 100kg batches with roll to roll manufacturing while demonstrating that the ! enhanced performance demonstrated at a small scale is maintained. 9.

California Energy Commission staff is hosting a training Webinar on October 4thto introduce the updated inverter list format and listing request forms. The updated online inverter list format includes new columns for three inverter types plus an additional column for “Volt-Var” identifying the reactive power priority listing date of the corresponding inverter. This webinar is providing instruction on the revised equipment listing request forms and updated procedures to submit requests for multiple listings and ACPV modules to the Energy Commission’s Lists of Eligible Solar Equipment.
The new forms, processes, and inverter list format changes are effective October 15, 2018. Any listing requests using obsolete forms submitted on or after October 15, 2018, will be returned via rejection email and must be resubmitted using the new forms.
The new request forms include:
- Changes to formatting to improve the efficiency and accuracy of requests, adding embedded interactive features and automated functions.
- The addition of Reactive Power Priority functionality to smart inverter listings.
- Updates to accompanying procedure guides.
Drafts of the new equipment listing forms and a draft of the new inverter list format will be available prior to October 4, 2018, to assist in training and transition to the new forms at http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/equipment/events.php.
Final versions of the forms will be available no later than October 15, 2018, on the Go Solar California website at www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov/equipment/index.php.

ENERGY COMMISSION BUSINESS MEETINGS – Agenda
October 3, 2018
1516 Ninth Street
Art Rosenfeld Hearing Room – First Floor
Sacramento, California 95814
10 a.m.
(Wheelchair Accessible)
THE COMMISSION WILL CONSIDER AND MAY TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1. CONSENT CALENDAR. (Items on the Consent Calendar will be taken up and voted on as a group. A commissioner may request that an item be moved and discussed later in the meeting.)
a. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING NORTH GILA–IMPERIAL VALLEY #2 TRANSMISSION LINE. Proposed resolution to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Desert District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the proposed North Gila–Imperial Valley #2 Transmission Line (NGIV2). The BLM invited the Commission to serve as a cooperating agency in preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act; and serve on the Cultural Resources Working Group in BLM's review under Section 106 of National Historic Preservation Act. Contact: Gabriel Roark.
b. PIO PICO ENERGY CENTER (11-AFC-01C). Proposed order granting the petition to transfer the operational control of the Pio Pico Energy Center from NAES Corporation to Southwest Generation Operating Company, LLC. Contact: Joseph Douglas.
c. AMENDED PUBLICLY OWNED UTILITY INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN (IRP) GUIDELINES.

d. 2018-2019 INVESTMENT PLAN UPDATE FOR THE ALTERNATIVE AND RENEWABLE FUEL AND VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM. Proposed resolution approving modifications to funding allocations for the 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update for the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program. The modifications reduce the total allocations from $277.5 million to $165.2 million and change the funding source for one allocation. The funding allocations must be modified because the amount of funding appropriated in the FY2018-19 California budget for these purposes is less than the total funding in the adopted 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update. (ARFVTP and GGRF funding) Contact: Patrick Brecht.
e. LINDE, LLC.

Findings that, in addition to the lead agency City of Hayward’s Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (Initial Study), the proposed project presents potentially significant impacts to biological resources, and that mitigation measures in addition to those analyzed in the Initial Study are required to reduce environmental impacts to a less than significant level. These additional mitigation measures will be implemented by the City of Hayward and are included as conditions in proposed Agreement 002-18-ECD.
b. CITY OF HAYWARD’S PV RENEWABLE ENERGY PHASE II PROJECT. Agreement with the City of Hayward for a $2,150,955 loan at 1 percent interest for PV system installations at the City’s Water Pollution Control Facility.

Forest Biomass Business Center Bioenergy Facility). (EPIC funding) Contact: Rizaldo Aldas. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
a. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS. Findings that, based on the lead agency County of Yuba Planning Commission's Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), Conditional Use Permit 2017-0003 (CUP), and the Resolution approving and adopting the IS/MND and CUP for the Forest Biomass Business Center Bioenergy Facility, the proposed project presents no new significant or substantially more severe environmental impacts beyond those already considered and mitigated to a less than significant level.
b. CAMPTONVILLE BIOMASS-TO-ENERGY PROJECT. Agreement EPC-17-042 with ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. for a $4,999,830 grant to fund the design and construction of an innovative 3 MW biomass power plant in Camptonville, California, that will incorporate advanced air pollutant emission controls and a low water consumption condenser.

xi. Cal State University Fullerton, Fullerton, CA, Low-Cost Portable Smart Wi-Fi Programmable Learning Bio-Mimicking Solar Shrub, PI: Sagil James, $150,000. The goal of this project is to design ”solar shrubs” that use thin film PV in bio-mimicking leaf designs. The technology will be created and prototyped using advanced multi-material 3D printing. The team hopes to later commercialize this technology as an easy-to-install and easy-to-move sustainable solar product for California homes.
xii. Pronoia, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, Pronoia Energy Storage Device, PI: Daniel Lie, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop a novel energy storage prototype that uses quantum dipole technology to attempt to achieve exponential increases in energy capacity compared to lithium-ion batteries. Unlike conventional batteries, this technology has no electrolyte and separator and may introduce a new class of energy storage that has minimal capacity loss and decreased manufacturing costs in the long term.
xiii. Pick My Solar, Los Angeles, CA, SolarBlock, PI: Gordon Algermissen, $150,000. The goal of this project is to continue development on a block chain-based transaction platform for community solar projects. This technology will lower transaction costs while increasing reliability, speed, and accuracy for the community members buying and selling electricity.
xiv. InPipe Energy, Manhattan Beach, CA, In-PRV (Pressure Recovery Valve) Renewable Energy Generation System, PI: Gregg Semler, $150,000. The goal of this project is to demonstrate a technology that captures lost energy associated with pressure reduction valves in industrial water systems. The system fits onto existing pipeline infrastructure and will also increase the ability to dynamically and accurately control water pressure.
xv. SkyCool Systems, Inc., Burlingame, CA, Cooling Mobile Data Centers with the Sky, PI: Eli Goldstein, $100,000. The goal of this project is to develop a passive modular data center cooling system that uses radiative cooling. The panels cool without evaporating water and only require enough electricity to run a small circulating pump. This innovation will reduce data center energy and water use while reducing maintenance requirements.
xvi. Palo Alto Research Center, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, Adaptive Current-Collectors for High-Efficiency Electric Vehicles, PI: Sean Dorris, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a new class of printed electronics that can be coated onto battery current-collectors to limit the current and heating that occur during internal short-circuits, which could dramatically decrease the amount of crash protection EV batteries require and enable an increase in EV efficiency and range. This innovation will enable EV manufacturers to eliminate hundreds of kilograms in crash protection which will lower transportation-related electricity consumption and strain on the electric grid.
xvii. GenH, San Jose, CA, The Mobile Envelope Dam Electrification System (MEDES), PI: Ron Freda, $150,000. The goal of this project is to develop and test a prototype device that can retrofit irrigation canals and non-powered dams to produce electricity. The technology is designed to be rapidly deployable, taking 2-4 weeks instead of the 24+ months other hydropower installations take.
xviii. FerroPower Technologies, Berkeley, CA, Near-Isothermal Liquid Piston Air Compressor/Expander with Magnetically Stabilized Ferro fluid, PI: Mohsen Saadat, $150,000. The goal of this project is to prototype a near-isothermal air compressor/expander system that would enable Compressed Air Energy Storage technologies to achieve higher efficiency, higher power density, and meet a cost target of $150/kWh. Instead of a solid piston, this technology uses a magnetically stabilized Ferro fluid-based liquid column. This method reduces the energy required to compress air and causes the system to operate at a higher round-trip efficiency.

Notice of Staff Workshop on Appliance Efficiency Pre-rulemaking for General Service Lamps (Expanded Scope)
California Energy Commission staff will conduct a public workshop to seek comments from interested parties regarding staff analysis and the draft appliance efficiency proposal for general service lamps. This topic will be considered as amendments to the Appliance Efficiency Regulations (Title 20, California Code of Regulations, Sections 1601 through Section 1609). The public workshop will be held on:
Tuesday, August 28, 2018
10:00 a.m.
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
1516 Ninth Street
First Floor, Imbrecht Hearing Room
Sacramento, California
Wheelchair Accessible
Background
Energy Commission staff released a draft staff report containing an analysis of general service lamps. This report presents the staff’s proposal to add and revise definitions related to general service lamps, define low-lumen lamps, and set minimum efficiency standards for low-lumen lamps. General service lamps are subject to existing state efficiency standards which require a minimum lamp efficacy of 45 lumens per watt for general service lamps manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, and offered for sale in California.
Staff proposes to amend the definition of general service lamp and to amend and add related definitions. These definitions will align with those established in two final rules published by the U.S. Department of Energy on January 19, 2017. Amending the definition of general service lamp would broaden the lamp types that are subject to the existing general service lamp standard, effectively expanding the scope of products for which low efficacy incandescent, including halogen, lamps could not be offered for sale in California.
Remote Attendance
You may participate in this meeting through WebEx, the Energy Commission's online meeting service. Presentations will appear on your computer screen, and you may listen to audio via your computer or telephone. Please be aware that the meeting may be recorded.

On July 19, 2018, the Office of Administrative Law approved the California Energy Commission’s adopted changes to the appliance efficiency regulations for portable electric spas and battery chargers. These new amendments are now published in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 20, sections 1602-1607. Although published in the CCR, the new regulatory language becomes effective October 1, 2018, unless noted otherwise in the regulations. A summary of the amendments to Title 20, sections 1602-1607 for portable electric spas and battery chargers may be found here: https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/GetDocument.aspx?tn=224255.

California Energy Commission Business Meeting Agenda
August 1, 2018
1516 Ninth Street
Art Rosenfeld Hearing Room – First Floor
Sacramento, California 95814
10 a.m.
(Wheelchair Accessible)
THE COMMISSION WILL CONSIDER AND MAY TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1. CONSENT CALENDAR. (Items on the Consent Calendar will be taken up and voted on as a group. A commissioner may request that an item be moved and discussed later in the meeting.)
a. COLLABORATIVE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE SCHOOLS, INC. Proposed resolution approving Agreement 150-18-005 with Collaborative for High Performance Schools, Inc. (CHPS) for a $5,000 contract to formalize the California Energy Commission's (Energy Commission) membership. This one-year membership allows the Energy Commission a seat on the Board of Directors and allows the Energy Commission to have a voice in advocating for energy efficiency practices that go beyond the Title 24 Standards. Continued membership is essential to ensure school energy efficiency concerns are adequately addressed. (ERPA funding) Contact: Michael Poe.
2. TOWARD A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE – 2018 INTEGRATED ENERGY POLICY REPORT UPDATE (IEPR UPDATE), VOLUME I. Proposed resolution adopting Volume I of the 2018 IEPR Update, entitled "Toward a Clean Energy Future." The Energy Commission is preparing the 2018 IEPR Update in two volumes: (1) "Toward a Clean Energy Future," which is a high-level, graphically focused overview of California’s leadership in clean energy policy, and (2) a more detailed update on issues raised in 2017, to be adopted in February 2019. The Energy Commission intends to make Volume 1 available at the Global Action Climate Summit, to be held September 12-14, 2018 in San Francisco. Contact: Terra Weeks and Bailey Wobschall. (Staff presentation: 10 minutes)
3. INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION ON PROPOSITION 39: CALIFORNIA CLEAN ENERGY JOBS ACT. With the creation of the California Clean Energy Jobs Act in 2013, the Energy Commission was tasked with creating and implementing a grant program and application process for California Local Education Agencies to pursue clean energy and energy efficiency improvements. On June 30, 2018, the application process for this grant program concluded with the Energy Commission receiving over 2,100 applications requesting approximately $1.5 billion in grant funds. Contact: Haile Bucaneg. (Staff presentation: 20 minutes)
4. ENERGY COMMISSION PROJECT MAP. Staff presentation describing the Energy Commission Project Map, an interactive map that identifies the locations of projects funded or supported through key programs currently administered by the Energy Commission. The map is intended to assist other government agencies, elected officials, community-based organizations, and the general public in identifying key projects of interest in their communities and to better understand the work of the Energy Commission. Contact: Amulya Yerrapotu. (Staff Presentation: 10 minutes)
5. GATEWAY GENERATING STATION (00-AFC-01C). Proposed order approving a Settlement Agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) to resolve alleged violations of the reporting requirement included in the General Conditions of the Commission Decision certifying the power plant. Under the Settlement Agreement, PG&E agrees to the amendment of certain language in the General Conditions to provide additional clarity on reporting requirements and the addition of two new conditions of certification, AQ-SC12 and AQ-SC13, which will allow for verification of the level of particulate matter released from the Gateway Generating Station upon restart after an outage. PG&E has agreed to pay $50,000 to the Energy Commission. In return, the Energy Commission agrees to close the matter without further action or litigation. Contact: Christine Root. (Staff presentation: 10 minutes)
6. ARGUS COGENERATION EXPANSION (ACE) (86-AFC-01C). Proposed order granting the petition to remove all remaining open conditions of certification related to the demolition of the ACE facility and to terminate Energy Commission jurisdiction over the ACE project. The facility ceased operations in 2014, with some facility equipment being dismantled, sold, or repurposed, and is no longer a functioning power plant. Upon termination of the Energy Commission's jurisdiction, future demolition of existing facility structures and site redevelopment will be under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County. Contact: Mary Dyas. (Staff presentation: 10 minutes)
7. POWER PLANT SITING AND GENERAL PROCEDURES RULEMAKING (17-OIR-02). Hearing and proposed resolution adopting amendments to the Energy Commission's siting and general procedure regulations in Title 20, California Code of Regulations. The proposed amendments are to: (1) refine regulatory language changes adopted in 2015 under docket 15-OIR-01; (2) consolidate the small power plant exemption provisions into a single section; (3) repeal sections 2301 to 2309 regarding obsolete procedures for complying with the California Environmental Quality Act; and (4) revise sections 1708 and 1769 and add section 1769.1, relating to the filing and approval of amendments to power plant licenses. Contact: Jared Babula. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
8. PETITION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. Proposed resolution delegating to the Executive Director, or his or her designee, the authority to join a petition to the U.S. Department of Energy to establish federal appliance efficiency standards, test procedures, definitions, and reporting requirements for dedicated purpose pool pump motors in line with the consensus terms reached by efficiency advocates and industry representatives, and to undertake related activities to support a federal rulemaking related to the petition. The petition would request that the U.S. Department of Energy set new efficiency standards for dedicated purpose pool pump motors that will yield significant energy savings both nationally and in California. Contact: Sean Steffensen. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
9. AMENDED INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN (IRP) GUIDELINES. Proposed resolution adopting amended IRP guidelines to incoporate requirements of Senate Bill 338, (Skinner, Chapter 389, Statutes of 2017). The amendments provide clarifying and formatting changes to the Guidelines and the standardized reporting tables. Contact: Paul Deaver. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
10. CITY OF RIO VISTA. Proposed resolution approving Agreement 001-18-ECD with the City of Rio Vista for a $422,795 loan at one percent interest to install various energy efficiency measures at its facilities. Upon completion, the project will reduce an estimated 213,126 kWh of grid electricity consumption annually, saving the city about $25,938 in utility costs. Based on the loan amount, the simple payback is 16.3 years. (ECAA funding) Contact: Shahid Chaudhry. (Staff presentation: 5 minutes)
11. Minutes: Possible approval of the July 11, 2018 Business Meeting minutes.
12. Lead Commissioner or Presiding Member Reports. A Lead Commissioner on a policy matter may report to the Commission on the matter and discussion may follow. A Presiding Member on a delegated committee may report to the Commission on the matter and discussion may follow.

Background
Buildings are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions in California. Approximately 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in California result from the combustion of fossil fuels for space and water heating in buildings. Overall, building-related emissions account for approximately 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in California.

The California Energy Commission will resume pre-rulemaking activities on the replacement pool pump motor topic after participating in negotiations with the pool pump motor industry and energy advocates. The goal of the negotiations was to provide the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with a recommendation for a national test procedure and efficiency standard for pool pump motors that would complement the recently completed DOE dedicated purpose pool pump rule.
The Energy Commission will resume the replacement pool pump motor proceeding since the negotiation did not result in a consensus recommendation to DOE for a pool pump motor standard.
Please contact Sean Steffensen at (916) 651-2908 or sean.steffensen@energy.ca.gov for further questions regarding replacement pool pump motors.

The New Year Brings Better Quality Lighting Choices to California
SACRAMENTO - Giving consumers the choice of better quality light bulbs, three new energy efficiency standards go into effect January 1, 2018. The standards cover general service light bulbs; general purpose light-emitting diodes - commonly called LEDs - used to replace typical existing home lighting; and small-diameter directional lamps, often used in commercial sites for track lighting.
With the LED and small-diameter directional lamp standards, consumers will save more than $4 billion in aggregate over the first 13 years and conserve enough electricity to power the equivalent of about 400,000 average homes.
The minimum efficiency standard for general service light bulbs - the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) - that will affect incandescent and halogen light bulbs is a federal standard, which goes into effect in 2020. California opted to permit the standard to take effect two years ahead of the nation, ensuring consumers start saving energy and money earlier.
The federal standard requires general service light bulbs to be 45 lumens per watt. Lumens measure the amount of light a bulb produces and watts measure the amount of power it consumes. Light bulbs meeting the standard are readily available.
"The minimum standards are difficult to meet with incandescent or halogen technology," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the California Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "Ten years ago manufacturers chose to focus on much more efficient products - LEDs and compact fluorescent light bulbs - to meet consumer needs. The new technology improves the mix of products available to people so that lighting is vastly improved."
In California there are more than 600 million sockets for general service and reflector light bulbs and about half of those are still using old incandescent light bulbs. Approximately 90 percent of electricity used by traditional light bulbs is wasted as heat instead of visible light. The technology of LEDs and compact fluorescents make the light bulb more efficient and last much longer.
To ensure general purpose LEDs continue the trend toward more efficient products without trading off quality features in light bulbs that consumers expect, the Energy Commission adopted standards in 2016. The standards will drive both efficiency and quality improvements, such as minimizing color distortion so that the light bulb can make an object appear as it would under natural light and setting a minimum lifetime requirement of about 10 years.
In California, there are about 16 million small-diameter directional lamps. With the new standards, consumers will save an estimated $250 per light bulb when replacing a small-diameter directional lamp with one that meets the new standard.
For more information please see the news release from the 2016 LED and small-diameter directional lamp adoption and frequently asked questions on the lighting standards.

Energy Commission Adopts Targets for Energy Efficiency Savings
Research Grants Also Receive Funding
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission today adopted targets to achieve the doubling of energy efficiency savings in electric and natural gas uses by 2030 as required by Senate Bill 350.
Senate Bill 350 established new energy efficiency and renewable electricity targets to support California's long-term climate goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
The adopted Senate Bill 350: Doubling Energy Efficiency Savings by 2030 final report proposes subtargets for individual utilities and nonutility energy efficiency programs. The report also outlines recommendations and next steps to meet the doubling targets, which include funding and improving energy efficiency programs, achieving additional energy savings with new or improved measures and technologies, and improving the data collection for efficiency savings.
Much of the untapped energy efficiency potential to meet the targets can be achieved by improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as well as appliances and other devices used in those buildings, as laid out in the Energy Commission’s Existing Building Energy Efficiency Action Plan.
At today’s business meeting, the Energy Commission also approved two research grants funded by the Energy Commission’s Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program. The EPIC program supports innovations and strategies to advance clean energy technologies that help California meet its energy and climate goals.
RCAM Technologies was awarded $1.2 million to develop and test a reinforced concrete 3D printing technology that will be used to manufacture high performance, ultra-tall, low-cost wind turbine towers onsite. This technology could reduce the cost of wind energy in a low-wind speed site by 11 percent.
Lystek International Limited received $1.6 million to build and demonstrate a mobile technology capable of pretreating organic waste to enhance anaerobic digestion at wastewater treatment facilities to increase biogas and energy production.
For more details on actions taken at today’s business meeting see the business meeting agenda

Thank you.
Please accept our apology for sending this again, but it was brought to our attention that the link to the Corrections was incorrect. The link below is correct.
Web Team
As noted in the October 4, 2017, workshop, there were two omissions in the Pre-Rulemaking Draft Express Terms that were identified by stakeholders: an exception for readily accessible controls that allows controls to be accessible only to authorized personnel was deleted rather than moved, and a required interaction between occupant sensing controls and multilevel controls was not recorded in the newly proposed Section 130.1(f).
Accordingly, the Standards Development Team is sharing two files with these errors corrected. The added provisions are highlighted in the marked language copies of the proposed Section 130.1 posted at http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2019standards/prerulemaking/documents/2017-10-0405_workshop/corrections/.
The Standards Development Team is continuing to make changes that consider and incorporate comments received from stakeholders, and the Draft Express Terms released for formal public review will contain changes and corrections based on pre-rulemaking comments received from stakeholders. The posted file is best considered to be a correction to the pre-rulemaking drafts released for the October 4, 2017, workshop and not a final version of the Draft Express Terms.
Questions can be submitted to Peter Strait (peter.strait@energy.ca.gov) or Payam Bozorgchami (payam.bozorgchami@energy.ca.gov).
