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.

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.

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).

The California Energy Commission (Commission) proposes to modify existing appliance efficiency regulations for computers to create a new allowance for a discrete GPU that is packaged on the same substrate as the CPU, which is a new and innovative feature or functionality that was not considered at the time of the original rulemaking and that requires additional consideration in the efficiency levels for computers; to make minor modifications to adjust the definitions to better represent computers in the market that were intended to be covered as mobile gaming systems or mobile workstations in the original rulemaking; and to allow manufacturers to report estimated lamp lifetime pending completion of lifetime testing for state-regulated light-emitting diode (LED) lamps and the LED versions of state-regulated small diameter directional lamps (SDDL), in alignment with the Code of Federal Regulations. NOTICE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED: The date set for the adoption of regulations at a public hearing is as follows: Commission Business Meeting CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION

Senate Bill 350, the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015 (De León,Chapter 547, Statutes of 2015) requires the California Energy Commission to establish annual targets that achieve a cumulative, statewide doubling of energy efficiency savings by 2030, to the extent doing so is cost effective, feasible, and will not adversely impact public health and safety. EnergyCommission staff has published draft energy efficiency savings targets based on cost effective and feasibility analyses contained in two separate staff papers authored by different divisions of the Energy Commission.Energy Assessments Division staff has published draft savings targets for savings to be achieved from ratepayer-funded activities. Efficiency Division staff has published draft savings targets for savings to be achieved from all other sources.
Energy Commission staff welcome comments on the methodology and scope of these draft targets, particularly if there are potential sources of savings not captured in either of staff’s analyses. These staff papers are part of a series of analyses conducted by Energy Commission staff, all of which will be summarized in a future report that will be considered for adoption as the SB 350 2030 energy efficiency savings doubling targets.The development of these staff papers and the adoption of energy efficiency savings doubling targets are part of the 2017 Integrated Energy Policy Report proceeding.
- Notice of Availability of Draft Staff Papers on SB 350 Energy Efficiency Savings Doubling Targets
- Senate Bill 350 Energy Efficiency Targets for Programs Not Funded through Utility Rates
- Senate Bill 350 Energy Efficiency Target Setting for Utility Programs

Advanced Notification of Future Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Funding Support Solicitation
Grant recipients of Program Opportunity Notice (PON) 13-607, Hydrogen Refueling
Infrastructure, released November 22, 2013, were provided funding to develop the
infrastructure necessary to dispense hydrogen transportation fuel and to provide needed
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) funding to support hydrogen refueling operations prior
to the large-scale roll-out of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). A number of grant
recipients received the added benefit from the O&M funding support.
The California Energy Commission's Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle
Technology Program (ARFVTP) staff has analyzed the impacts on stations not receiving
the full $300,000 O&M funding support from PON 13-607. Staff has concluded that this
support is critical to ensure hydrogen refueling stations become operational and remain
operational while FCEVs are being deployed in California. As such, the Energy
Commission anticipates announcing the availability of up to $6.7 million in funding for
hydrogen refueling station O&M support for qualifying stations that did not previously
receive the maximum $300,000 under PON 13-607. This solicitation is expected to be
released in July or August 2017.

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. LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER's (LADWP) REQUEST TO USE THE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSES COMPLIANCE OPTION. Proposed resolution approving LADWP's request to use the data collection and analyses compliance option under California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section1343(f), which allows utilities to participate in certain research projects, including the California Commercial End-Use Survey, in lieu of completing the survey plans, surveys, and reports described in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Sections 1343(b)-(e). Contact: Sylvia Bender.
b. 2016 PUBLIC DOMAIN CALIFORNIA BUILDING ENERGY CODE COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE-RESIDENTIAL, CBECC-RES 2016.3.0. Proposed resolution approving the 2016 Public Domain California Building Energy Code Compliance Residential software, CBECC-Res 2016.3.0, that may be used to demonstrate performance compliance with the residential provisions of the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (also known as the Energy Code). Among other improvements, this version incorporates a cap on the amount of Energy Design Rating credit from solar photovoltaic (PV), bug fixes primarily affecting additions and alterations, and other requested enhancements. The resolution also proposes to rescind approval of CBECC-Res 2016.2.1 and versions of EnergyPro and Right-Energy that are based on CBECC-Res 2016.2.1, as of October 25, 2017. (Public Resources Code, Section 25402.1(a), (b).) Contact: Larry Froess.
c. 2016 BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS RESIDENTIAL ALTERNATIVE CALCULATION METHOD (ACM) REFERENCE MANUAL UPDATE. Proposed resolution certifying the updated 2016 Residential ACM Reference Manual as required by Public Resources Code Section 25402.1(e). This ACM Reference Manual documents the modeling methods used in residential compliance software for demonstrating performance compliance with the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Contact: Dee Anne Ross.
d. TRANE U.S., INC. Proposed resolution approving Amendment 1 to Grant Agreement EPC-14-059 with Trane U.S., Inc. for a 12-month time extension and a budget reallocation. A merger caused a major subcontractor to be unable to continue participation in the project. Since this subcontractor was responsible for several project elements, the recipient needed to secure the commitment of several new equipment vendors and subcontractors to fulfill the project scope. The time extension and budget reallocation would allow for execution of the new subcontracts and provide sufficient time for microgrid operational data collection. (EPIC funding) Contact: Kiel Pratt.
e. GAS TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE. Proposed resolution approving Amendment 1 to Grant Agreement PIR-14-017 with the Institute of Gas Technology dba Gas Technology Institute (GTI) to change the demonstration site, incorporate GTI staff adjustments and reallocate the project budget.

This is intended to provide advance notice regarding the planned release of the EPIC Microgrid solicitation. A competitive solicitation is anticipated to be released in July 2017. The pre-application solicitation workshops will be held in Northern and Southern California.
Please note that the Energy Commission reserves the right to modify the Grant Funding Opportunity scope, funding, schedule, or other solicitation details when the final is released.
An overview of the anticipated Grant Funding Opportunity follows.
Solicitation Amount: $ 44,700,000 with proposed three separate groups as defined below.
Project Funding Range: $2,000,000 - $5,000,000 per individual award.
Match Funding: A minimum of 20% match is required for all groups.
Expected Release Date: July 2017
The anticipated Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) is tentatively targeting proposals that can demonstrate the applications of a microgrid where the results from this effort will provide field examples of commercial-scale demonstrations that provide a clear repeatable configuration with measurable benefits and a higher probability of future commercial success. This effort will prioritize projects that have a plan to leverage other (non-EPIC) funding opportunities for future microgrids and where the current EPIC funding suffices to demonstrate a successful repeatable prototype. Specific target segments identified that have reasonable opportunity for follow-on funding beyond the EPIC demonstration are:
- Military bases that have access to federal DOD funding for future base energy resiliency upgrades,
- California Port Authorities that have internal funding, grants, bonds and federal funding access,
- California Tribal Communities that have access to special funds from federal and state governments, and
- Disadvantaged Communities that have unique funding opportunities through special state funding such as cap-and-trade program funding known as California Climate Investments and possible federal funding as well as other grant opportunities outside EPIC.
The goal for all groups is to demonstrate a standardized microgrid configuration that can show clear cost effective benefits and have a clear repeatable market opportunity.
Group 1 will target microgrid demonstrations supporting California Military Bases, California Port Authorities and California Tribal Communities where the microgrid demonstration is located in electric IOU territories, and a standardized microgrid configuration that can be demonstrated, benefits measured and value streams validated. The key element of this segment is to demonstrate a microgrid that meets the individual needs of the market segment selected and also provides measurable benefits.
Group 2 will target microgrid demonstrations supporting California Disadvantaged Communities where the microgrid demonstration is located in a California Disadvantaged Community and in electric IOU territories and provides a standardized microgrid configu! ration that can be demonstrated and the benefits measured and the value streams validated. One of the key scoring criteria will be based on the ability of the microgrid to provide services and improvements to the residents of these communities and not just temporary jobs. An essential component of proposals for this group is local community support and input into the design of the microgrid to ensure it meets their priorities.
Group 3 will target microgrid demonstrations for the remaining market segments in California where the microgrid demonstration is located in electric IOU territories. This segment will include college campuses, local communities, industrial complexes, rural areas and other suitable locations.
The proposers in all three groups will be expected to define why their specific microgrid meets the following needs:
- The proposed microgrid has a standard configuration that provides clear operational benefits, is modular, and has definable value to the intended customer.
- The risk of a successful installation is low and the probability of meeting their defined objectives is high.
- All CEQA, utility interconnections and other system requirements can clearly be met in the timeline proposed.
- The value streams are clear and understandable and the project includes a plan to estimate the values that can be validated with the collected data.
- The project has clear community support.
- There is a reasonable opportunity that future microgrids that use the results of the identified project will have access to internal, federal, commercial or other sources of funding sufficiently to allow for successful implementation of the microgrids in the selected segments.
- The configuration of the microgrid is easily applicable and replicable.
These criteria will be applied during technical evaluation to select the best-proposed projects for each group.
Applications for this Grant Funding Opportunity will be due approximately three months after it is released. Further details will be available in the Grant Funding Opportunity application manual.
Note: Any application materials received prior to the formal release of this Grant Funding Opportunity will not be accepted.

Energy Commission Report Finds California Energy Efficiency Standards Highly Impactful
Commission Awards Funds To Expand Hydrogen Refueling Network, Energy Innovation
SACRAMENTO - Recent findings of a review conducted by the California Energy Commission demonstrate that California continues to lead the nation and the world in energy efficiency standards.
The review, presented at today's business meeting, compared California's 2016 building energy efficiency standards to international standards set in 2015. The comparison, which is required of all states by the federal government, found the California standards saved enough electricity to power over 300,000 more homes than the similar international standards.
At the business meeting, the Energy Commission also awarded grants for a wide range of projects and technology, including the expansion of the state's existing hydrogen refueling network, grants to support innovators, and grants to support the development of geothermal energy.
More than $17 million was approved for nine new hydrogen stations that will expand the refueling infrastructure network in California. FirstElement Fuel, Inc. will develop eight hydrogen refueling stations. Five of those will be located in Southern California in Huntington Beach, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Monica, and Sherman Oaks. The remaining three will be in the Bay Area in Campbell, Oakland and Sunnyvale. Air Liquide Advanced Technologies U.S., LLC received funds for a refueling station in Santa Nella that will connect the Southern California and the Bay Area stations.
The Energy Commission approved more than $1 million in grants for innovators and entrepreneurs working to bring early-stage clean energy concepts to market. Eight grants of $150,000 were the first-ever approved from CalSEED, which is the Energy Commission's initiative to invest in novel solutions to energy challenges. The grants will fund a wide range of demonstration projects, including a new lithium extraction process, a high-efficiency electric power grid control device, and a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb that operates at a resistance level 30 times lower than conventional LED lights.
The Energy Commission also awarded more than $7 million in grants from its Geothermal Grant and Loan Program. Projects funded include using an existing pilot facility to demonstrate the extraction of lithium and other minerals from geothermal brines and the demonstration of satellite radar to observe deformations in geothermal fields in Southern California.
For details on all Energy Commission actions taken today, see the business meeting agenda.

Pre-Bid Conference - RFP-16-406 - Education & Outreach for Benchmarking, Coordination with Workforce & Labor, Facilitation of Energy Efficiency Collaborative
Released: February 15, 2017.
Deadline to Submit Proposals: March 24, 2017, by 3 p.m.
Purpose of RFP
The purpose of this Request For Proposals (RFP) is to select a consultant team of qualified staff and subcontractors to provide:
a) Statewide education and outreach for the implementation of Building Energy Use Data Access, Benchmarking, and Public Disclosure Program regulated by the Energy Commission under Assembly Bill 802 (Williams, 2015)
b) Facilitate energy-related workforce and industry alignment and,
c) Facilitate an energy efficiency collaborative as directed by the 2015 Existing Buildings Energy Efficiency Action Plan and the 2016 Action Plan Update (collectively, the “Action Plan”), available at http://www.energy.ca.gov/ab758/documents/).
The Action Plan provides a high-level roadmap with specific strategies encouraging energy efficiency. Certain strategies must be implemented primarily by the Energy Commission. For other strategies, the Energy Commission is identified as a partner to other California and national agencies to double energy efficiency across California as mandated under Senate Bill 350 (de’ Leon, 2015).
AB 802 (http://www.energy.ca.gov/benchmarking) mandates the establishment of a new, statewide Building Energy Use Data Access, Benchmarking and Public Disclosure Program (Benchmarking Program). AB 802 revises Public Resources Code (PRC) section 25402.10 to require utilities to provide energy consumption data for covered buildings to the building owners upon request, and requires the Energy Commission to establish a building energy use benchmarking and public disclosure program for certain buildings.

Energy Commission Approves New Solar Rule for San Francisco and Guidelines for New Solar Homes Partnership
For Immediate Release:
Media Contact: Edward Ortiz - 916-654-4989
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission today approved the adoption of San Francisco building energy standards that require solar systems on new construction. The standards require all newly constructed residential occupancy buildings of 10 floors or less, and newly constructed non-residential occupancy buildings of 10 floors or less, and greater than 2,000 square feet in gross floor area, to install solar photovoltaic systems or solar thermal systems. The Energy Commission establishes statewide building standards and must approve local ordinances that have more stringent requirements.
The Energy Commission also approved updates to guidelines for California’s Solar Electric Incentive Programs, which provide the framework for programs established by Senate Bill (SB) 1, which included the California Solar Initiative (CSI), the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) program, and the publicly-owned utility programs.
SB 1 directs the Energy Commission to develop eligibility criteria, conditions for incentives, and rating standards required to qualify for California’s solar electric ratepayer-funded incentives.
The NSHP program, which provides incentives for solar on new residential buildings, recently received more than $111 million in new funds from investor-owned utility customers to continue the program. The updated guidelines address new energy efficiency standards and a maturing solar industry. As of December 31, 2016, the NSHP will be one of the last remaining active state solar programs.
The Energy Commission approved a loan of more than $700,000 to the Waterford Unified School District to finance energy efficiency projects at two schools. The projects involve interior and exterior lighting retrofits. The project will save 375 kilowatt hours of electricity annually and reduce about 129 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
The Sanger Unified School District received a $500,000 grant to install and operate a compressed natural gas (CNG) fast-fill fueling station at its transportation facility. The grant from the Energy Commission will allow the district to increase its ability to refuel a fleet of CNG school buses and the CNG bus fleet to expand. The project includes a fuel management card reader system so that other districts and public agencies can use the station.
For details on all actions taken at today’s business meeting see the business meeting agenda.
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. The agency was established by the California Legislature through the Warren-Alquist Act in 1974. It has seven core responsibilities: advancing state energy policy, encouraging energy efficiency, certifying thermal power plants, investing in energy innovation, developing renewable energy, transforming transportation and preparing for energy emergencies.

To: Manufacturers and test laboratories of residential lighting products
Re: Certification of compliance under the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards
Certification to the 2016 High Efficacy Lighting requirements is now available via the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDBS). Manufacturers may now certify that their products comply with the updated requirements of Title 24, Part 6, Joint Appendix 8 (JA8), and are eligible for installation in new residential homes permitted on and after January 1, 2017.
The list of models certified as compliant with the 2013 High Efficacy Lighting requirements will be archived on December 31, 2016, meaning that it will remain visible to the public but will no longer be added to. This list will remain available for all new residential buildings that receive building permits prior to January 1, 2017. Manufacturers of products certified to the 2013 requirements that wish models to appear on the 2016 list will need to re-submit product information with the additional test data required for 2016 (start time, power factor, lumen maintenance and survival rate, audible noise, and flicker).
Note: the 2016 Standards allow for both lamps and luminaires to be considered high efficacy. Manufacturers are encouraged to certify both types of products to the 2016 list.
The MAEDBS database can be accessed here: https://cacertappliances.energy.ca.gov/Login.aspx.
For assistance with the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, contact the Energy Standards Hotline at (800) 772-3300 (toll free in California), (916) 654-5106 (outside California), or via email at title24@energy.ca.gov.
For assistance with the appliance certification process and the MAEDBS database, contact the Appliance Efficiency Hotline at (888) 838-1467 (toll free in California), (916) 651-7100 (outside California), or via email at appliances@energy.ca.gov.

California Computer Efficiency Standard Nears Finish Line
Mon, 10/10/2016 - 14:20 -- MrGreen
Is California ready to approve the nation’s first mandatory efficiency standard for computers, monitors and signage displays?
It appears so. Earlier this year, I wrote about the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) initial proposed requirements (California Continues Drive for Computer and Display Efficiency). After a good deal of discussion with industry stakeholders, resulting in some specification and timing modifications, the CEC has now published their Efficiency Rulemaking Express Terms, which they hope will to be the final regulatory language approved by year end. The Commission believes that consumers and businesses will save over $370 million in energy costs from these standards.
Computers
Covered in this computer regulation are desktops, notebooks (including mobile gaming systems), thin-clients, small-scale servers, and workstations. Excluded are tablets, smartphones, game consoles, handheld gaming devices, servers other than small-scale units, and industrial computers. The CEC believes that the core opportunity for computer energy savings is in limiting the unit's energy consumption during non-productive idle, standby, and off modes.
The proposed regulation harmonizes with the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Computers version 6.1, adopting a Total Energy Consumption (TEC) approach. A computer's TEC is calculated using the following formula:
ETEC = (8760 ÷ 1000) × (POFF × TOFF + PSLEEP × TSLEEP + PLONG_IDLE × TLONG_IDLE + PSHORT_IDLE × TSHORT_IDLE)
Where: POFF = measured power consumption in off mode (W), PSLEEP = measured power consumption in sleep mode (W), PLONG_IDLE = measured power consumption in long idle mode (W), PSHORT_IDLE = measured power consumption in short idle mode (W), and TOFF, TSLEEP, TLONG_IDLE, and TSHORT_IDLE are mode weightings as specified in ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Computers version 6.1, Table 3.
A computer’s maximum allowable annual energy consumption (per table 2) is determined partly by its expandability score (ES). ES is used to correlate the power supply sizing necessary for a computer to provide the required power to the core system plus any potential expansions through internal or external ports. ES is calculated by summing the products of each port score (per table 1) multiplied by the number of offered ports in the system (when sold) and then adding 100 to the resulting score.

Computer Monitors
Computer monitors with a diagonal screen size between 17" and 61" are regulated using modal metrics, limiting power consumption in on-mode, sleep-mode, and off-mode. Allowable on-mode power is calculated based on monitor resolution, diagonal screen size and viewable screen area. The proposed limits for products manufactured after January 1, 2019 are shown in the table 5. Monitors with touch screen capability are allowed an additional one watt in on-mode power. Monitors must consume less than or equal to 0.7 W and 0.5 W in sleep-mode and off-mode, respectively, or less than or equal to 1.2 W sleep- and off-mode combined.

Energy Commission Proposes Energy Savings for Computers and Monitors
Proposed standards could save consumers millions
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission today released an updated staff report on standards for computers and monitors that could save consumers an estimated $373 million annually. This marks the start of the final comment period before the Commission will vote on the standards by the end of the year.
In California, computers and computer monitors use an estimated 5,610 gigawatt-hours of electricity, which equals about 3 percent of residential electricity use and 7 percent of commercial use. Energy Commission studies focus on achieving significant efficiency improvements when computers sit idle, wasting energy and money. The Commission’s proposal estimates energy savings from computers and monitors is equivalent to the electricity use of all homes in San Francisco.
“Computers are an everyday appliance for many Californians and waste energy when they often sit idle,” said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. “Cutting energy while no one is using a computer can save consumers millions on their utility bills, which reduces the need to generate more electricity. The proposed standards are a win-win made possible by the cooperation of so many who contributed their knowledge throughout the process.”
Working with industry, nonprofit environmental and consumer groups and utilities, the Energy Commission’s proposed standards vary by computer type–desktops and thin clients, notebooks and small-scale servers and workstations—and allow manufacturers the flexibility to choose how to comply.
The core opportunity for energy savings in computers is found in reducing the amount of energy consumed in idle modes. The proposed standards set a baseline energy use target and rely on a calculation to place a computer into categories, based on the additional technology added to the unit. The Energy Commission estimates the standards for desktop computers will add about $14 to the cost of a computer but save consumers more than $40 in electricity bills over five years. For desktop computers, the first- tier standards would take effect January 1, 2019, and the second-tier would take effect July 1, 2021.
The majority of notebook computers are already energy efficient. The proposed standards base for notebooks is 30 kilowatt hours per year and would take effect January 1, 2019. The estimated additional cost is $1 and saves consumers more than double that over four years. For small-scale servers and workstations, the component requirements and power management settings are consistent with the ENERGY STAR® 6.1 voluntary standards. The standards would take effect January 1, 2018. The estimated increase in cost for both small-scale servers and workstations is $13. Over five years, the savings would be nearly $30 for workstations and $20 for small-scale servers.
There are more than 25 million computer monitors installed in homes and businesses in California. The Energy Commission proposes a maximum on-mode requirement—based on screen area and resolution—and maximum power levels for sleep mode and off mode for monitors 17 inches and above. This measure would cost an additional $5, but would save consumers more than $30 over seven years. The monitor standards would kick in July 1, 2019.
The proposed standards for monitors provide additional leeway for specialized, low-sales-volume monitors, such as enhanced performance displays, through energy allowances. These allowances are reduced over a year and a half to drive additional energy savings.
A workshop will be held on October 10 and comments on the proposed standards can be made through October 24.

For Immediate Release: July 29, 2016 Industry and Efficiency Proponents Agree on Big Efficiency Gains for Pool Pumps Washington D.C. - Swimming pool owners will see a huge drop in their monthly utility bills thanks to a consensus agreement between industry, efficiency proponents, and other interested parties for the first national energy efficiency standards for pool pumps that was approved today by a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) advisory committee. With more than 5 million in-ground and 3.5 million above-ground pools in the U.S. the national energy and financial savings from more energy efficient pumps will be significant. Based on DOE's analysis, the standards will save more than 400 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity over 30 years of sales or the equivalent amount of electricity used annually by 37 million U.S. households, making it one of the biggest energy savings standards completed this year. Most of the savings will come from switching from single speed pumps to variable speed pumps, which can change their speed as needed, speeding up to clean the pool or slowing down and saving energy when filtering the water. The new standards will cut the energy use for in-ground pool pumps by about 70 percent, and owners of in-ground pools will save about $2,000 on average over the lifetime of a pool pump. On a national level, consumers will save $13-28 billion with the new standards taking into account pool pumps sold over a 30-year period. Today's approval of the agreement by DOE's Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee (ASRAC) marks an important step in the standard-setting process. Next, DOE will write a rule based on the recommended standards and publish it for public comment. The new standards were developed after a yearlong series of negotiations between DOE, pool pump manufacturers, motor manufacturers, efficiency supporters, state government, and utilities. "Today's commitment to supporting the adoption of more efficient pumps builds on a 15-year cooperative relationship with the pool industry that has led to innovation and product development," said Gary Fernstrom, retired employee and advisor to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) Codes and Standards Program. "California's investor-owned utilities are committed to helping customers conserve energy and have played a critical role in the effort to realize the significant energy savings and cost reductions for pool owners." Joanna Mauer, Technical Advocacy Manager for ASAP and a member of the working group notes that: "A typical pool pump can use as much as 6,000 kWh of electricity per year – a sizeable amount considering that the average U.S. household consumes about 11,000 kWh per year. The new standards will reduce energy consumption for in-ground pool pumps by about 70% relative to the least efficient pumps available today." "The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals participated in these negotiations because of its members' commitment to enhanced energy efficiency standards that benefit both consumers and the environment," said APSP Director of Government Relations Jennifer Hatfield. "APSP members worked together with one voice and with all stakeholders to come up with a positive outcome for the swimming pool owner." "We are pleased that industry and energy efficiency advocates collaborated to propose a national standard that will lead to the greater use of variable speed pool pumps," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the California Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "This technology provides improved service, lowers consumers' utility bills, and avoids greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production. We are proud to be part of this very positive step forward toward greater efficiency." "This agreement will help achieve President Obama's emissions reduction goal by reducing carbon pollution emissions by 57 million metric tons by 2030 – that's equivalent to the emissions from driving 12 million cars for a year," noted Lauren Urbanek, a senior energy policy advocate with the Natural Resources Defense Council. "And those reductions will continue for years into the future. Once these standards are adopted and working behind the scenes, they'll save energy, money, and avoid pollution while Americans continue enjoying their backyard pools." John Caskey, VP of Operations for NEMA said, "The negotiated rulemaking process is a valuable tool for the US Department of Energy to use to bring stakeholders together to develop well thought-out energy efficiency regulations. From my personal experience on ASRAC, it's an ideal method for refining product scope and input assumptions to produce the best life cycle cost/benefit analysis possible." The standards are scheduled to take effect in 2021.

Energy Commission Saves Energy Through Research Projects and Loans
$8 Million Approved to Study Viability of Energy Efficient Technologies
SACRAMENTO – The California Energy Commission approved six grants today focused on energy efficiency with $8 million awarded for technologies and measures designed to achieve zero net energy (ZNE) in new affordable housing and multifamily and commercial buildings. ZNE homes generate as much energy as they consume.
The grants focus on technologies and strategies that show innovative energy efficiency to achieve whole building performance that will help the state achieve its energy goals:
- Gas Technology Institute – Received a grant to develop and test advanced energy efficiency packages in new affordable housing communities in The project will be conducted with Habitat for Humanity and lessons learned will be shared with the building industry to help increase adoption of ZNE homes.
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory – Received a grant to examine the benefits of all electric ZNE homes as compared to ZNE homes that use both gas and electricity. The analysis will provide information to enable better understanding of costs and benefits associated with each approach. The laboratory also received a grant to develop and evaluate cost-effective retrofits of small commercial buildings. The project includes pilot testing at a multi-story small commercial office building in San Francisco.
- University of California, Davis – Received three grants for projects to maximize energy efficiency in homes, multifamily dwellings and commercial buildings. The UC Davis California Lighting Technology Center will refine and evaluate an advanced building control system to maximize energy savings in existing commercial buildings. The aim is to reduce electricity use by up to 30 percent. The UC Davis Western Cooling Efficiency Center will test innovative retrofit measures that reduce air conditioning costs for homeowners. The university will help develop EnergyPlus simulations and models to identify cost effective energy efficiency measures in multifamily and commercial buildings for achieving ZNE goals.
Projects are funded through the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC), which develops and brings to market technologies that support California’s energy policy goals.
Also today, the Energy Commission approved loans for solar systems and revised guidelines for school energy projects:
- The County of Sonoma received a nearly $500,000 loan to install solar photovoltaic panels at a fleet operations facility. The 93-kilowatt system is expected to save the county almost $25,000 in utility costs annually. The Woodlake Unified School District in Tulare County received a $1 million loan to install photovoltaic panels at the district’s transportation facility. The 325-kilowatt system is expected to save the district more than $65,000 annually in utility costs. Both projects are funded through the Energy Conservation Assistance Act and will reduce electricity consumption and utility expenses, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- The revisions to the Proposition 39: California Clean Energy Jobs Act 2016 Program Implementation Guidelines make it easier for districts to qualify for energy saving projects under the program. Major changes include reducing the savings-to-investment ratio from 1.05 to 1.01, allowing more maintenance cost savings within energy savings calculations and lowering the terms and conditions under which schools enter into power purchase agreements for solar energy systems. In addition, the guidelines make it easier for schools in Calaveras, Tuolumne and Trinity Counties to apply to the program. The schools in these counties were paying unusually low electricity rates because of a deal with the federal government dating back to 1962. The Energy Commission recognized these schools were unable to participate in the program because their low rates made it very difficult to reach the savings-to-investment ratio. The guidelines take into account the real cost of electricity in those! counties and provides an updated figure for schools in those counties to use when applying to the program.

California Energy Commission staff will conduct a public workshop to seek input on staff’s proposed draft regulations to implement the building energy use data access and public disclosure provisions of Assembly Bill 802 (Williams, Chapter 590, Statutes of 2015). Commissioner Andrew McAllister and other Energy Commission Commissioners may be in attendance at the workshop. The workshop will be held on:
Friday, July 22, 2016
9:00 a.m.
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
First Floor, Art Rosenfeld Hearing Room
1516 Ninth Street
Sacramento, California
(Wheelchair Accessible)
Background and Purpose
Assembly Bill 802 revises Public Resources Code Section 25402.10 to require utilities to provide energy consumption data for covered buildings to the owners, owner’s agents, or operators of those buildings upon request, and further requires the Energy Commission to establish a benchmarking and public disclosure program for certain buildings. AB 802 was signed into law by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. on October 8, 2015, and went into effect on
January 1, 2016. It repealed the Nonresidential Building Energy Use Disclosure Program implemented by the Energy Commission pursuant to Assembly Bill 1103 (Saldana, Chapter 533, Statutes of 2007).
Regulation development for building energy use data access, benchmarking, and public disclosure is currently in the “pre-rulemaking” phase. As needed, pre-rulemaking workshops are held by the Energy Commission to seek early public input for developing and refining draft regulations. The “rulemaking phase” (45-day language) commences with the publication of a Notice of Proposed Regulatory Action and proposed regulations. Once adopted by the Energy Commission, the regulations will be submitted to the Office of Administrative Law for review. More information about the California state government rulemaking process can be found at: http://www.oal.ca.gov/regular_Rulemaking_Process.htm.
Remote Access Available by Computer or Phone via WebEx
Presentations and audio from the meeting will be broadcast via our WebEx web meeting service. For additional details on how to participate via WebEx, please see the notice at: https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/Lists/DocketLog.aspx?docketnumber=15-OIR-05

The California Energy Commission adopted water efficiency standards on April 8, 2015, to require toilets, urinals, public lavatory faucets, lavatory faucets, and kitchen faucets to consume less water. On August 12, 2015, the Energy Commission amended its lavatory faucet standard to modify the effective dates to allow more time for manufacturers to meet the new standard and amended its showerhead standard to lower the maximum flow rate and require certain minimum flow rates. Lavatory faucets and lavatory replacement aerators shall meet a maximum flow rate standard of 1.2 gallons per minute (GPM) for products manufactured on or after July 1, 2016. The maximum flow rate for showerheads is 2.0 GPM at 80 psi for products manufactured on or after July 1, 2016. Inventories of existing showerheads, lavatory faucets, and lavatory replacement aerators that have been certified to the Energy Commission, that appear in the Commission’s database, and were manufactured prior to July 1, 2016, are permitted to be sold in California. All showerheads, including those that are currently certified and meet the new maximum flow rate, must be re-certified to the Commission to show compliance with the new minimum flow rates at 20, 45, and 80 psi. Showerheads not certified as compliant to the minimum flow rates will be archived even if they are compliant with the new maximum flow rate requirement. The Energy Commission is updating the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database (MAEDbS) to reflect what appliances may be sold or offered for sale in California. Models of showerheads, lavatory faucets, and lavatory replacement aerators currently certified as compliant shall be archived from the active database on or about July 1, 2016. Appliances manufactured on or after the effective date that do not meet the appliance standard may not be sold or offered for sale in California. No action is required on your part.
Reasons for Removal from the Active Database
Questions can be directed to Appliances@energy.ca.gov or to the Appliances Hotline, toll free at (888) 838-1467 or outside California at (916) 651-7100 (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PST). |

On April 13, 2016, the California Energy Commission voted to allow an optional compliance pathway for compliance with Section 141.0(b)2I of the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Standards) governing lighting alterations projects. This alternative compliance pathway, or compliance option, went into effect immediately.
Under this optional compliance pathway, a lighting alteration project may demonstrate compliance with Section 141.0(b)2I of the 2013 Standards by:
- Achieving either a 50 percent reduction in installed lighting power in hotel, office, and retail occupancies, or a 35 percent reduction in all other occupancies; and
- Meeting the lighting control requirements that apply when a project is installing 85 percent or less of its allowed lighting power (Tables 141.0-E and F), excluding the requirement for two level lighting control or compliance with §130.1(b).
In order to document the use of this optional compliance pathway, form NRCC-LTI-06-E (Revised 04/16) must be used to calculate the Allowed Lighting Power. That value must then be entered into the appropriate field on form NRCC-LTI-01-E (Revised 08/15), Table C, Row 6.
Form NRCC-LTI-06-E may be downloaded here:
For additional information on this compliance option, the complete staff analysis may be downloaded here: https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/getdocument.aspx?tn=210938.
The Energy Commission Energy Standards Hotline is also available to answer questions about this compliance option. They can be reached at:

For Immediate Release: January 27, 2016
Media Contact: Amber Pasricha Beck - 916-654-4989
Energy Commission Adopts Lighting Standards to Save Californians More Than $4 Billion in Electricity Costs
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission today adopted first-in-the-nation energy standards for the next generation of light bulbs. The standards cover small-diameter directional lamps, often used in track lighting, and general purpose light-emitting diodes - commonly called LEDs - used to replace typical existing home lighting.
With these new standards, consumers will save more than $4 billion in aggregate over the first 13 years and conserve enough electricity to power all of the households in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties (about 400,000 average homes). Bulbs that meet the new standards are already available to consumers.
The adopted standards will save consumers money in both electricity and bulb replacement costs. For a $4 investment in the more efficient small-diameter directional lamps, the Energy Commission estimates consumers will save nearly $250 in reduced energy and bulb replacement costs when averaged over 11 years. The lifetime savings for general purpose LEDs range from $4.50 to $12 and will likely grow as purchase prices continue to decline.
Small-diameter directional lamps
Small-diameter directional lamps are often used at commercial sites, such as stores and museums, for track lighting. In California, about 16 million of these bulbs are in use. The standards cover bulbs with a diameter of 2.25 inches or less and will go into effect January 1, 2018. The standards include:
- A requirement that bulbs have either an efficacy greater than or equal to 80 lumens per watt or a color rendering index + Efficiency score of at least 165 with a minimum efficiency of at least 70 lumens per watt.
- A minimum lifetime of 25,000 hours for each product. LED bulbs are the only products that meet this lifetime standard. The adoption is expected to cause a transition to LEDs from less efficient technologies.
LEDs
The standards for general purpose LEDs include omnidirectional, directional, and decorative bulbs, as well as LEDs designed for retrofitting the covered socket types. LED bulbs consume less energy than other types of light bulbs and have a longer lifespan, making the lifetime energy savings far greater than the incremental cost.
The standards for LEDs include efficiency and quality improvements to initially take effect January 1, 2018. Additional amendments to strengthen efficiency and limit power in standby mode take effect July 1, 2019. The standards include:
- A requirement for omnidirectional bulbs to produce a light distribution pattern that aligns with requirements adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program for bulbs.
- A minimum lifetime requirement of 10,000 hours, equivalent to a ten year life in a typical home.
- Limitations on how distorted a particular color appears under the bulbs.
- A requirement of manufacturers to meet minimum performance thresholds before making claims about dimmability or other qualities.
- A limit to the amount of power a connected LED can use in standby mode.
Other actions
The Energy Commission also approved the revised California Energy Demand 2016-2026 Electricity Forecast. The report is a baseline of consumption and peak demand for California. Overall, staff found that electricity use has slightly decreased compared to the 2014 forecast update. The findings also support a greater decrease in electricity sales and peak demand because of the increase in home solar systems. This report is used by the California Public Utilities Commission for long-term procurement planning and the Independent System Operator for transmission planning.
About the California Energy Commission
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. The agency was established by the California Legislature through the Warren-Alquist Act in 1974. It has seven core responsibilities: advancing state energy policy, encouraging energy efficiency, certifying thermal power plants, investing in energy innovation, developing renewable energy, transforming transportation and preparing for energy emergencies.

The 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Standards) went into effect on July 1, 2014, and introduced new mandatory and prescriptive requirements for newly constructed residential buildings. A common challenge with transitions in building code is the timing and permitting of residential units from approved master planned projects. Master plans that have been approved by the local enforcement agency prior to the effective date of a new building code cycle do not constitute approval of building permit applications that are submitted after that effective date. In circumstances where a master plan was submitted and approved prior to the 2013 Energy Standard’s effective date, March 2014 for example, the local enforcement agency will need to determine the code cycle for each subsequent building permit that comes thereafter.

The California Energy Commission released a final staff report proposing the first standards for small-diameter directional lamps and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Directional lamps are often used in commercial track lighting, while LEDs replace screw-based incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) typically found in homes. Prompted by legislation requiring the Energy Commission to adopt standards to reduce energy use of lighting in homes by 50 percent and businesses by 25 percent from the 2007 levels by 2018, the proposed standards will save energy and improve the quality of the light bulbs that Californians are buying every day.
The new standards will have a financial impact. For a $4 investment in the more efficient directional lamps, the Energy Commission estimates consumers will save nearly $250 in reduced energy and lamp replacement costs over an average of 11 years. The savings with LEDs are also significant and growing as purchase prices continue to decline.
"Replacing inefficient, energy-wasting light bulbs with more efficient ones is one of the easiest ways to save money and help California reach its energy goals," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "Although both small-diameter directional lamps and LEDs have the potential to save significant amounts of energy, there are no federal or state standards for either. The proposed standards also address quality and performance of LED technology in order to avoid problems that consumers have expressed with CFLs."
In 2029, the total estimated savings for the directional lamps and LEDs standards is more than 3,000 gigawatt hours per year, equivalent to the amount of electricity required to power all the households in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties (about 400,000 average homes) indefinitely.
+Small-diameter directional lamps
Small-diameter directional lamps are often used in stores, hotels and motels, homes, and museums. In California, about 16 million of these lamps are installed in existing buildings, and the stock is expected to grow to 18 million by 2029. The proposed standards cover lamps with a diameter of 2.25 inches or less and would go into effect on January 1, 2018. The proposal includes:
- A requirement that lamps have either an efficacy greater than or equal to 80 lumens per watt or a color rendering index +Efficiency score of at least 165 with a minimum efficiency of at least 70 lumens per watt.
- A minimum lifetime of 25,000 hours for each product. LED lamps are the only products on the market that meet this proposed lifetime standard. The adoption is expected to cause a transition to LEDs from less efficient technologies.
+LEDs
The proposed standards for LED lamps include omnidirectional, directional, and decorative lamps, as well as LED lamps designed for retrofitting the covered socket types. LED bulbs consume less energy than other types of light bulbs and have a longer lifespan, making the lifetime energy savings far greater than the higher purchase cost.
The proposed standards for LEDs include improvements to lamps currently on the market, yet allows for tradeoffs between the efficiency and color rendering index of a lamp. The proposed Tier I standards would take effect January 1, 2017, and proposed Tier II standards would take effect January 1, 2019. The proposal includes:
- A requirement for omnidirectional lamps to produce a light distribution pattern that aligns with requirements adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program for lamps.
- Labeling standards for manufacturers to meet minimum thresholds before making claims about dimmability or applicability to retrofits of traditionally incandescent sockets.
- A limit to the amount of power a connected LED lamp can use in standby mode.
Public input has been critical to developing the proposed standards, but there are additional opportunities for more public input. A workshop is scheduled for Nov. 18, where public comments will be heard. Also, written comments on the proposal will be accepted through Nov. 30. The comments will guide changes to the staff analysis and proposed standards before the full Commission considers adoption on Dec. 9.
For more information please see the frequently asked questions on the proposed lighting standards. [http://www.energy.ca.gov/2015publications/CEC-400-2015-041/CEC-400-2015-041-FS.pdf]

To learn about all the actions the state has taken to manage our water system and cope with the impacts of the drought, visit the California Drought Page. Every Californian should take steps to conserve water. Find out how at SaveOurWater.com.
+About the California Energy Commission
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. The agency was established by the California Legislature through the Warren-Alquist Act in 1974. It has seven core responsibilities: advancing state energy policy, encouraging energy efficiency, certifying thermal power plants, investing in energy innovation, developing renewable energy, transforming transportation and preparing for energy emergencies.
For more information, visit: www.energy.ca.gov or www.energy.ca.gov/releases/.
The California Energy Commission is making the Draft 2015 Integrated Energy Policy Report (2015 IEPR) available for public comment. The report was prepared in response to Public Resources Code Section 25301 which requires the Energy Commission to prepare an IEPR every two years that includes assessments and forecasts of all aspects of energy industry supply, production, transportation, delivery and distribution, demand, and prices. The Energy Commission uses these assessments and forecasts to develop energy policies that conserve resources, protect the environment, ensure energy reliability, enhance the state's economy, and protect public health and safety. Senate Bill 1389 (Bowen and Sher, Chapter 568, Statutes of 2002) directs state government entities to use the information and analyses contained in the adopted IEPR to carry out their energy-related duties and responsibilities.
On October 20, 2015, Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the Energy Commission's Lead Commissioner for the Integrated Energy Policy Report, will conduct a workshop to receive public comments on the 2015 IEPR. Other commissioners may attend the workshop.
The workshop notice can be found on our Web page at:

Background
Public Resources Code Section 25301 requires the Energy Commission to prepare an IEPR every two years that includes assessments and forecasts of all aspects of energy industry supply, production, transportation, delivery and distribution, demand, and prices. The Energy Commission uses these assessments and forecasts to develop energy policies that conserve resources, protect the environment, ensure energy reliability, enhance the state's economy, and protect public health and safety.
Senate Bill 1389 (Bowen and Sher, Chapter 568, Statutes of 2002) directs state government entities to use the information and analyses contained in the adopted IEPR to carry out their energy-related duties and responsibilities. During this IEPR proceeding, the Energy Commission has coordinated closely with other agencies to ensure consistency in the underlying information used to develop this report.
The IEPR Lead Commissioner issued a scoping order on February 27, 2015, that identified topics that would be covered in the report. The Energy Commission held 24 public workshops between February and September 2015 on a variety of energy efficiency policy topics including: energy efficiency; renewables; reliability of the electricity system in Southern California; climate change research; drought; nuclear energy; and natural gas, transportation, and electricity demand forecasts. Further workshops are planned in November and December 2015 to update the natural gas, transportation, and electricity demand forecasts. All workshop documents, including agendas, background material, transcripts, presentations, and public comments, are available at: www.energy.ca.gov/2015_energypolicy/documents/index.html.
The report includes discussion of policies and programs that contribute to the goal put forward by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.1 To help meet this goal, the Governor put forward three sector specific goals in his 2015 inaugural speech:
1. Double the efficiency savings achieved at existing buildings and make heating fuels cleaner.
2. Increase from one-third to 50 percent California's electricity derived from renewable sources.
3. Reduce today's petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent.
The Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015 (Senate Bill 350, DeLeón, 2015) subsequently put into law two of the Governor's goals for reducing carbon emissions: doubling energy efficiency savings by 2030 and increasing renewable electricity procurement to 50 percent by 2030. The Draft 2015 IEPR explores each of the Governor's goals, reports on energy trends and forecasts, and addresses other important topics concerning California's energy system.

The California Energy Commission today adopted a roadmap to reach Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.'s goal to double building efficiency savings in California by 2030. The roadmap, called the Existing Buildings Energy Efficiency Action Plan, is designed to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, and will help consumers save money and enjoy more comfortable homes through energy efficiency.
Commercial and residential buildings account for nearly 70 percent of California's electricity consumption and 55 percent of its natural gas consumption. California has approximately 600,000 commercial buildings, 9 million single-family homes and 4 million multi-family units. An estimated 50 percent of existing buildings in California were built before California Building Energy Efficiency Standards were established in 1978. Doubling the rate of energy savings from existing building efficiency improvement projects would result in lower total building energy use in 2030 than in 2014, despite population and economic growth, and is equivalent to a 20 percent reduction in usage compared to projected 2030 levels.
The Action Plan provides a comprehensive framework centered on five goals, each with a series of strategies for achievement. A key component of the Action Plan is easy access to energy-use data for the public, industry, and policymakers. Another principal strategy is making efficiency project costs and savings available. The plan fosters dissemination of information that should spur investments to make the state's existing buildings more energy efficient.
Energy efficiency can save homeowners money and make buildings more comfortable. The Action Plan proposes to create a new statewide benchmarking and disclosure program, and it encourages local government innovation and better energy codes for existing buildings. Benchmarking, for instance, helps building owners understand how much energy buildings use compared to other similar buildings and how much money could be saved through energy-efficient upgrades, such as heating, cooling and lighting.
Implementation of the Action Plan is expected to accelerate growth of energy efficiency markets, more effectively target and deliver building upgrade services, improve quality of occupant and investor decisions, and vastly improve the performance of California's existing buildings. The push for energy efficiency also is expected to deliver substantial energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, contributing to the collective goal of reducing the impacts of climate change while improving the resilience of the state's built environment and economy.
A draft plan was released in March and revisions were made to include stakeholder input and public comments. To view video comments in English and Spanish by Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency, visit the Energy Commission's blog.
Other actions
The Energy Commission approved a $3 million grant through its Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program to CALSTART Inc. to build and demonstrate four fuel-cell shuttle buses to serve economically distressed and air quality-challenged communities in Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley.
The Energy Commission also approved loans for energy efficiency upgrades through the Energy Conservation Assistance Act, a zero or low interest loan program providing funds to public entities. The city of Eureka received a nearly $1.3 million, 1 percent interest loan to replace an old gas powered digester with an energy-efficient system at the city's Elk River Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project is estimated to save $89,000 in utility costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 367 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. Durham Unified School District received a zero-percent interest loan for $2 million to install a solar photovoltaic system. The 575-kilowatt solar project is estimated to save the district $175,288 in utility costs per year.
The Energy Commission also approved a one-year extension of the Dec. 15 deadline to commence construction of the Palen Solar Power Project. The proposed power plant was licensed on Dec. 15, 2010. The extension allows the project owner the opportunity to seek approval of a new, yet to be filed, major amendment.
Details on these and other projects approved by the Energy Commission are available on the business meeting agenda.

The California Energy Commission has issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (“OIR”) kicking off the formal process to consider amendments to California’s Appliance Efficiency Regulations, also called “Title 20”. (Docket No. 20-AAER-01.) The scope of the proceeding is currently focused on minor, “housekeeping” revisions to the existing Regulations, as opposed to bringing new appliances into the regulatory scheme for energy efficiency oversight or adopting new standards for appliance categories already regulated under Title 20. However, the “anticipated” scope includes open-ended “additional priority matters,” leaving the door open for the inclusion of proposals for new or changed standards for specific appliance categories. The OIR’s scope statement provides:
It is anticipated that this rulemaking will cover the following categories of appliances and regulatory matters:
- Self-contained lighting controls (repeal of requirements);
- Updates to data submittal requirements in section 1601 et seq. to ensure consistency with federal law;
- Clarifying and administrative changes to improve the readability and functionality of the Appliance Efficiency Regulations; and
- Additional priority matters as determined by the Lead Commissioner.
While the Energy Commission normally processes Title 20 appliance efficiency standards for specified categories of products through individual dockets, such as the newly opened docket for replacement pool pump motors (19-AAER-02), it is possible that this OIR could affect changes to Title 20 that impact specific appliance categories. Ellison Schneider Harris & Donlan actively participates in the Energy Commission’s Title 20 proceedings and assists clients in working with the Energy Commission to meet Title 20’s standards. If you have any questions or concerns regarding California’s Appliance Efficiency Regulations or the new rulemaking, please contact ESHD attorneys Chase Maxwell, Brian Biering, or Jeff Harris at 916-447-2166.

Energy Commission Approves New Standards to Save 38 Billion Gallons of Water - Also approves energy efficiency and transportation loans
For Immediate Release
Media Contact: Amber Pasricha Beck - 916-654-4989 August 12, 2015
Energy Commission Approves New Standards to Save 38 Billion Gallons of Water Also approves energy efficiency and transportation loans
- In response to the state's historic drought and to prepare for the next one, the California Energy Commission approved new standards for showerheads today. The standards are expected to save more than 2.4 billion gallons of water in the first year and 38 billion gallons after full stock turnover in 10 years. The commission also voted to change the start date for the recently adopted standard for lavatory faucets.
"Faucets and showers make up nearly 40 percent of residential indoor water use," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "We are hoping for the best, but planning for the worst in the face of the state's historic drought. It is clear that we need to push the envelope to save water and energy while also ensuring it makes sense for consumers and the marketplace."
Details on the new standards:
- The current California showerhead standard is 2.5 gallons per minute.
CalGreen code, the California plumbing code and the voluntary WaterSense specification are all 2.0 gallons per minute. Standards adopted today require that all showerheads not exceed 2.0 gallons per minute maximum flow rate. This applies to fixed and handheld showerheads as well as horizontal body sprayers manufactured on or after July 1, 2016. To increase water savings over time, the standard for showerheads will change to 1.8 gallons per minute maximum flow rate starting July 1, 2018 - making this the most stringent standard in the country.
- In April, the Energy Commission adopted a standard of 1.2 gallons per minute flow rate for residential lavatory faucets, among other water appliances, that would have taken effect Jan. 1, 2016. Commissioners voted to change the current standard of 2.2 gallons per minute flow rate to 1.5, effective September 1. The Energy Commission also voted to implement the 1.2 gallon per minute flow rate on July 1, 2016. The changes are in response to manufacturers who said they would not be able to supply retailers with enough 1.2 gallons per minute lavatory faucets on January 1, but have 1.5 gallons per minute models available today.
Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. issued an executive order in April of this
year, which ordered the California Energy Commission to establish standards that improve the efficiency of water appliances available for sale and installation in new and existing buildings. The executive order gave the commission emergency authority to adopt the standards today, rather than through a lengthier process. Nonetheless, there has been opportunity for public involvement at commission meetings, a workshop and through a public comment period in July.
Other actions
The Energy Commission approved grants under its Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program of $2.4 million to build and test seven- zero-emission, hybrid fuel-cell, freight-size trucks to transport cargo at the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports; $1.2 million to expand testing of the entire plug-in electric vehicle fleet at Los Angeles Air Force Base and upgrade software to determine if vehicle-to-grid technology can be applied to larger fleets and to vehicles at homes; and $500,000 for advanced vehicle technology apprenticeship training through California Community Colleges and the California Employment Development Department, with emphasis on veterans and disadvantaged residents.
The Energy Commission also approved loans for energy efficiency upgrades through the Energy Conservation Assistance Act, a zero or low interest loan program providing funds to public entities. The city of Santa Cruz received a $1.8 million one percent interest loan to install more efficient interior and exterior lights, as well as to make improvements to a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Montague Elementary School District received a zero percent interest loan for more than $400,000 to upgrade interior and exterior lighting, upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, and to install an onsite 40 kilowatt photovoltaic system at the district's elementary school in Siskyou County.

Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) VE 2015 Feature Pack 1, version 2015.1.0, using the detailed geometry three-dimensional (3D) option of the CBECC-COM API, is approved as an alternative calculation method for demonstrating performance compliance with the nonresidential provisions of the 2013 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
IES Virtual Environmental 2014 Feature Pack 1, version 2014.1.0 and 2014 Feature Pack 2, version 2014.2.0.0 shall continue to be valid for demonstrating compliance with the nonresidential provisions of the 2013 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards until August 17, 2015.
All approved computer compliance programs can be viewed at:
http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/2013_computer_prog_list.html.
To all local building officials,
Local building departments should only see the Acceptance TestTechnician
Certification Provider (ATTCP) forms (NRCA-LTI-02, NRCA-LTI-03, NRCA-LTI-04, and NRCA-LTO-02) for documenting compliance to the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards lighting controls acceptance test requirements. (See Title 24, Part 6, Section 130.4.)
These forms are available to the certified Acceptance Test Technicians
(ATTs) from either of the two Energy Commission approved Lighting ATTCPs listed below:
- California Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program (CALCTP) [https://www.calctp.org/acceptance-technicians]
- National Lighting Contractors Association of America (NLCAA) [https://www.nlcaa.org/]
+Background
The intent of the ATTCP program is to provide a mechanism for professional associations to train, certify, and oversee technicians who perform acceptance tests required by the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
The ATTCP is required to provide training curriculum for technicians (and their employers), certification procedures, complaint resolution (including disciplinary procedures), quality assurance, and accountability measures.
ATTCPs (such as NLCAA and CALCTP for Lighting Acceptance Testing Systems) monitor employers and test technicians who perform acceptance testing.
Acceptance testing ensures that installed equipment, controls, and systems operate as required. NLCAA and CALCTP have Energy Commission approved Certificate of Acceptance forms, which bear their respective association logo, to document the quality of the results of the acceptance testing.
These forms provide local building departments the necessary compliance data. Forms submitted from an entity without the ATTCP logo may be performing lighting controls acceptance testing outside the program and may
not be reporting to their ATTCP.
The Energy Commission will continue to make the Certificate of Acceptance forms without the logo available to the public in case other entities need to use the forms as a reference for the construction of their own forms.
Any alterations made to the Energy Commission approved forms may result in inaccurate data being submitted to building departments, as it would introduce an unapproved version of a form which may create unintended
processing costs.
The following clarifications address some common issues regarding the forms:
Required signatory for forms: NRCA-LTI-02, NRCA-LTI-03, NRCA-LTI-04, and NRCA-LTO-02
The lighting controls acceptance test requirements (Title 24, Part 6, Section 130.4) and related forms (NRCA-LTI-02, NRCA-LTI-03, NRCA-LTI-04, and NRCA-LTO-02) may only be completed by ATTs certified by approved ATTCPs.
ATTCP Contractual Agreements
As a contractual agreement with the ATTCP, all certified ATTs must use the electronic acceptance test system provided by the ATTCP as a requirement of their continued certification. The ATTCP uses the electronic acceptance test system to track the activities of ATTs and their employers for quality assurance purposes.
Energy Commission Approved ATTCP Forms
The Energy Commission critically reviews hardcopy outputs of the ATTCP forms for NRCA-LTI-02, NRCA-LTI-03, NRCA-LTI-04, and NRCA-LTO-02 and approves them for use as compliance documentation for the acceptance testing required under Title 24, Part 6, Section 130.4.
Conclusion
A certified ATT submitting forms (NRCA-LTI-02, NRCA-LTI-03, NRCA-LTI-04, and
NRCA-LTO-02) for use as compliance documentation for acceptance testing (Title 24, Part 6, Section 130.4) carrying none of the ATTCP logos should be treated with suspicion by the local building department.
The Energy Commission considers this a temporary measure until a nonresidential data registry can be approved and mandatory registration can be required for all nonresidential compliance documents. To date, no
applications to become a nonresidential data registry have been received.

The global regulatory environment surrounding the legislation of external power supply efficiency and no-load power draw has rapidly evolved over the past decade since the California Energy Commission (CEC) implemented the first mandatory standard in 2004. With the publication of a new set of requirements by the United States DOE set to go into effect February 2016, the landscape is set to change again as regulators try to further reduce the amount of energy consumed by external power adapters.
Mandating higher average efficiencies in external power supplies has undoubtedly had a real impact on global power consumption. However, with the benefit of a reduced draw on the power grid come challenges and uncertainties for the electronics industry as it tries to keep up with this dynamic regulatory environment.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who design external power supplies into their products must continue to monitor the latest regulations to ensure that they are in compliance in each region where their product is sold. The goal of this article is to provide an up-to-date summary of the most current regulations worldwide.
A brief history
In the early 90’s, it was estimated that there were more than one billion external power supplies active in the United States alone. The efficiency of these power supplies, mainly utilizing linear technology, could be as low as 50% and still draw power when the application was turned off or not even connected to the power supply (referred to as “no-load” condition). Experts calculated that without efforts to increase efficiencies and reduce “no-load” power consumption, external power supplies would account for around 30% of total energy consumption in less than 20 years. As early as 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency started a voluntary program to promote energy efficiency and reduce pollution which eventually became the Energy Star program. However, it was not until 2004 that the first mandatory regulation dictating efficiency and no-load power draw minimums was put in place. The info graph below traces the path from the CEC’s 2004 regulation up to the new Level VI standards set to take effect February 2016.
Figure 1: CEC regulation standard evolution.
The current regulatory environment
The Figure 1 timeline demonstrates just how dynamic the regulatory environment has been over the past decade. As different countries and regions enact stricter requirements and move from voluntary to mandatory programs, it has become vital that OEMs continually track the most recent developments to ensure compliance and avoid costly delays or fines. While many countries are establishing voluntary programs harmonized to the international efficiency marking protocol system first established by Energy Star, the following countries and regions now have regulations in place mandating that all external power supplies shipped across their borders meet the specified efficiency level:
United States
Level IV
Canada
Level IV
European Union
Level V
Although the United States Department of Energy has established the more stringent Level VI standard, it is not set to go into effect until 2016. Today, Level V will meet or exceed the requirements of any governing body around the globe. Power supply manufacturers indicate compliance by placing a Roman Numeral V on the power supply label as specified by the International Efficiency Marking Protocol for External Power Supplies Version 3.0, updated in September 2013. This latest version of the Protocol provides additional flexibility on where the marking may be placed.
Figure 2: Example of a CUI marking label.
The European Union is currently the only governing body to enforce compliance to the Level V standard, though most external power supply manufactures have adjusted their product portfolios to meet these requirements. The adjustments are a direct response to the needs of OEM’s to have a universal power supply platform for their products that ship globally.
Performance thresholds
The table below summarizes past and current performance thresholds as they were established over time.
The internationally approved test method for determining efficiency has been published by the IEC as AS/NZS 4665 Part 1 and Part 2. The approach taken to establish an efficiency level is to measure the input and output power at 4 defined points: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of rated power output. Data for all 4 points are separately reported as well as an arithmetic average active efficiency across all 4 points.
Current exemptions
Not all external power supplies are treated the same and exemptions exist in both the United States and the European Union. In the US, Congress has written provisions into section 301 of EISA 2007 that exclude some types of external power supplies. These are devices that:
•
Require Federal Food and Drug Administration listing and approval as a medical device in accordance with section 513 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c).
•
Power the charger of a detachable battery pack or charges the battery of a product that is fully or primarily motor operated.
•
Are made available as a service part or spare part by the manufacturer of an end-product that was produced before July 1, 2008 for which the external power supply was the primary load. Power supplies used for this purpose can be manufactured after July 1, 2008.
The European Union has instituted similar exemptions to the United States. External power supplies for medical devices, battery chargers, and service products are exempt. In addition, an exemption exists for low-voltage EPS devices. Low-voltage external power supply means a unit with a nameplate output voltage of less than 6 volts and a nameplate output current greater than or equal to 550 mA.
Moving to Level VI
Power supply manufactures, including CUI, are already preparing for the coming transition to the more stringent Level VI standards. Along with tightened regulations for existing adapters, the new standard expands the range of products that fall under the standard. Regulated products now include:
•
Multiple-voltage external power supplies
•
Products with power levels > 250 watts
The new performance thresholds are summarized in the table below:
Definitions
Single-voltage external AC-DC power supply means an external power supply that is designed to convert line voltage AC into lower-voltage DC output and is able to convert to only one DC output voltage at a time.
Single-voltage external AC-AC power supply means an external power supply that is designed to convert line voltage AC into lower-voltage AC output and is able to convert to only one AC output voltage at a time.
Multiple-voltage external power supply means an external power supply that is designed to convert line voltage AC input into more than one simultaneous lower-voltage output.
Low-voltage external power supply means an external power supply with a nameplate output voltage less than 6 volts and nameplate output current greater than or equal to 550 milliamps. Basic-voltage external power supply means an external power supply that is not a low-voltage power supply.
Direct vs indirect operation EPSS
The new standard also defines power supplies as direct operation and indirect operation products. A direct operation product is an EPS that functions in its end product without the assistance of a battery. An indirect operation EPS is not a battery charger but cannot operate the end product without the assistance of a battery. The new standard only applies to direct operation external power supplies. Indirect operation models will still be governed by the limits as defined by EISA2007. The DOE has provided the following instructions (Figure 3) to help distinguish between direct and indirect operation power supplies:
Figure 3: Steps to determine direct and indirect external power supplies.
Level VI exemptions
The new Level VI mandate also defines exemptions for EPS products. The direct operation EPS standards do not apply if:
•
It is a device that requires Federal Food and Drug Administration listing and approval as a medical device in accordance with section 360c of title 21; or
•
A direct operation, AC-DC external power supply with nameplate output voltage less than 3 volts and nameplate output current greater than or equal to 1,000 milliamps that charges the battery of a product that is fully or primarily motor operated.
Looking forward
The compliance date for the new requirements has been set for February 10, 2016, two years after the rule's publication in the Federal Register. It is important to note that compliance with the new standard will be regulated from the date of manufacture, so legacy products still can be shipped as long as the manufacture date is prior to February 10, 2016. Labeling requirements will be required to meet the same International Efficiency Marking Protocol for External Power Supplies Version 3.0 as the current Level V standard.
Globally, it is expected that other nations will soon follow suit with this standard. In the EU, the mandatory European Ecodesign Directive for external power supplies is currently going through revision discussions and it is expected to harmonize with most, if not all, of the US standards. It should be expected that countries with existing efficiency regulations in-line with the US, including Canada and Australia, will move to harmonize with the new standard as well.
Summary
The EPA estimates that external power supply efficiency regulations implemented over the past decade have reduced energy consumption by 32 billion kilowatts, saving $2.5 billion annually and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 24 million tons per year. Moving beyond the mandated government regulations, many OEMs are now starting to demand “greener” power supplies as a way to differentiate their end-products, driving efficiencies continually higher and even pushing the implementation of control technologies that in some cases eliminates no-load power consumption altogether. In late 2014, CUI Inc began introducing Level VI compliant adapters to keep their customers one step ahead of the coming legislation. Moving forward, CUI will continue to look for ways to implement the latest energy saving technologies into their external power supplies in order to address market demands and comply with current and future regulations. Digi-Key carries a variety of Level V- and Level VI-compliant power supplies and features several of the Level VI-compliant devices on their website.

Beginning August 6, 2015, all appliances regulated under Title 20 must be certified to the California Energy Commission using the modernized appliance efficiency database system (MAEDBS). The new system will also replace the current public search database with a new public appliance search and public company search.
The Energy Commission will no longer accept appliance certification submittals and applications via email. Manufacturers must submit appliance data online for certification using the new system.
To ease the transition, usernames and temporary passwords were emailed to those who have recently submitted appliance data for certification. All other users will need to create a new account.
Updated, easy-to-use instructions on how to use the new system and the certification process will also be released on August 6. The Appliance Unit is hosting one-hour webinars to educate all parties on how to use the MAEDBS. A listing of dates and times for these webinars can be found under "Upcoming Events" (http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/).
Questions about MAEDBS should be directed to Appliances@energy.ca.gov, or the Appliances Hotline at the toll free number (888) 838-1467 or outside California (916) 651-7100.

In partnership with Energy Code Ace, the Energy Commission provides the following announcement:
We are excited to announce that Forms Ace v2 has launched!
The updated tool:
- Adds new construction projects
- Includes updated forms
- Has help icons for questions that may be confusing or difficult to answer
These new features are all a result of user feedback! Go ahead, get excited!
This new version is updating the original Forms Ace designed to help you determine which Title 24, Part 6 Forms are applicable to your specific project. Use this tool as you begin your construction project to:
1. Identify steps necessary for your project to comply with Title 24,
Part 6.
2. Understand which compliance path is least cumbersome to pursue
3. Identify which Title 24, Part 6, forms will be required for your
addition/alteration project & generate a checklist.
4. Identify whether or not your project requires HERS (Home Energy
Rating System) verification.
Please note that the updates we've made will not allow Forms Ace v1 saved projects to be edited. However, the Forms Summary will still be available for ALL of your v1 saved projects, so you can still view your project details and access all of the required compliance forms in one convenient place.
The Forms Ace is one of the suite of free tools offered on EnergyCodeAce.com, a new "one-stop shop" website designed to help building industry professionals and consumers meet the requirements of the state's building energy code, Title 24, Part 6. The site also offers free training and resources developed to "decode" these standards for the wide-range of people who need to understand them, including building department personnel, architects, lighting designers, builders, contractors, energy consultants, and building and homeowners.
Visit http://www.EnergyCodeAce.com to find out how our free tools, trainings, and resources can help you play your cards right by complying with California's building energy code. And while you're there, register so we can keep you updated about our new offerings and Title 24, Part 6, news.
The California Energy Commission is considering adopting revisions to the nonresidential lighting alteration provisions of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Standards), codified in Title 24, Part 6, Sections 141.0(b)2I, J, K, and L of the California Code of Regulations.

Background
Following the lowest snowpack ever recorded in California history and with no end to the multi-year drought in sight, Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-29-15 on April 1, 2015, directing first-ever statewide, mandatory water reductions. The Executive Order directs the California Energy Commission, jointly with the Department of Water Resources and the California Water Board, to implement a time-limited statewide appliance rebate program to provide monetary incentives for the replacement of inefficient household devices.
The time-limited, statewide appliance rebate program will provide monetary incentives for the replacement and early retirement of inefficient clothes washers for residences. This new rebate program will help California capture water savings, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are thought to have contributed significantly to the current change in climate.
Jointly with the Department of Water Resources and the Department of Community Services & Development, the Energy Commission is also developing a time-limited statewide water saving appliance and fixture direct installation program to replace inefficient household water devices on a no-cost basis for income-qualified households.
The Department of Water Resources is developing a toilet replacement program targeted at replacing inefficient toilets with more efficient toilets. The Department of Water Resources is also developing a turf replacement program throughout the state.
The Energy Commission requests public input related to the appliance rebate program and direct installation guidelines; and the Department of Water Resources requests input related to the toilet rebate and turf replacement programs.

+Notice of Staff Workshop on Existing Building Energy Efficiency
+Standards
The California Energy Commission staff will conduct a workshop to explore the ways in which the Building Energy Efficiency Standards can support California's goals and efforts for improving the efficiency of existing buildings. Commissioner Andrew McAllister is the Lead Commissioner for the 2015 Integrated Energy Policy Report (2015 IEPR). Commissioner McAllister and other Commissioners at the Energy Commission may attend and participate in the workshop. The workshop will be held:
MONDAY, JULY 27, 2015
1:00 P.M.
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
1516 Ninth Street
First Floor, Art Rosenfeld Hearing Room Sacramento, California (Wheelchair Accessible)
+Background
The Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Standards) predate the initiatives resulting from Assembly Bill 758 (Skinner, Chapter 470, Statutes of 2009) and play an essential role in California's efforts to upgrade and improve the performance of its stock of existing buildings. These Standards establish the requirements that must be met when existing buildings are altered or added to, ensuring that existing buildings are gradually improved over time as they are remodeled, renovated, and rehabilitated.
As the Energy Commission moves to implement the 2016 Standards, there is an opportunity to examine and discuss ways to enhance the effect of these updates on existing buildings as well as the process for achieving compliance with the Standards.
+Agenda
This workshop will consider the ways in which implementation and development of the Standards can support California's existing buildings programs, including, but not limited to:
- Standards Implementation
-- How can compliance be assessed and improved?
-- Why are compliance documents required and how can they be improved?
-- What can be done to reduce the transactional cost of compliance?
- Standards Development
-- What needs to change for the Standards to better address the existing building market and the constraints of working within an existing building?
-- Is the current cost-effectiveness model satisfactory for changes to existing buildings as well as newly constructed buildings?
-- What is the appropriate baseline for existing building upgrades?
+Remote Access Available by Computer or Phone via WebEx
Presentations and audio from the meeting will be broadcast via our WebEx web meeting service. For additional details on how to participate via WebEx, please see the notice at: https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/Lists/DocketLog.aspx?docketnumber=15-IEPR-05

- New HVAC systems allow the fan to be cycled based on space temperature - for high rise residential buildings with naturally ventilated spaces.
- Water heating calculations in high-rise residential designs allow one system for each dwelling unit.
- Removed the mandatory U-factor check for existing assemblies.
- Revised PRF-01 report signature block to improve usability.
OPTIONS FOR DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE
All permit applications submitted on or after August 17, 2015, must use either CBECC-Com 2013 Version 3b or Version 3c. Versions 3 and 3a of CBECC-Com 2013 will expire and may not be used for permit applications submitted on or after August 17, 2015.

Document Description: Prepared by Emerson Network Power
16 page(s)
Document Type: Document
Thank you.
Notice of Public Comment Period Docket No. 15-MISC-03
Evaluation of Proposal to Include Refrigerant Economizers in the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards as a Prescriptive Alternative
The California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) staff will review and evaluate the proposed alternative as it relates to the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards section 140.9(a). The review of the proposal is to determine if the refrigerant economizer technology saves as much or more energy than a water economizer. During this review process the Energy Commission staff will also be accepting public comments. The public comment period is 60 calendar days, starting from the posting of the proposal.
Purpose
The 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards prescriptively require that an air or water economizer be installed in all newly constructed data centers. Currently approved alternative calculation methods are capable of simulating the annual energy use of data centers, allowing compliance tradeoffs between efficiency measures where the overall performance still satisfies the standard design (which contains an economizer). However, the approved alternative calculation methods do not have the capability to simulate the refrigerant economizer technology as described in the proposal.
Traditionally a direct expansion refrigerant system uses the refrigerant as the working fluid to absorb heat within the space and reject the heat at the condenser. The compressor is the component that moves the refrigerant through the cycle. The key feature of the proposed technology is that in the right conditions the compressor is shut off and a pump is run to move the refrigerant through the cycle. The economizing is in the form of energy savings due to the pump power versus the compressor power.
Written Comments
Written comments on the proposal should be submitted to the Dockets Unit by 4:00 p.m. on August 10, 2015. All comments will become part of the public record of this matter. Additionally, comments may be posted to the Energy Commission's website for this matter.
The Energy Commission encourages comments by e-mail and electronic submission, up to 5 MP. Please include your name and any organization name. Comments should be in a downloadable, searchable format such as Microsoft® Word (.doc) or Adobe® Acrobat® (.pdf). For additional information, see Standing Order re: Proceedings and Confidentiality Procedural Requirements for Filing, Service, and Docketing Documents with the Energy Commission, available at: http://www.energy.ca.gov/dockets/documents/2011_Standing_Order_for_Documents.pdf.

The Office of Administrative Law approved the Appliance Efficiency Standards Enforcement Regulations adopted by the California Energy Commission on May 13, 2015. The new enforcement regulations will take effect on July 1, 2015. The regulations are posted at:
http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/enforcement/documents/index.html
Public Resources Code Section 25402.11 authorizes the Energy Commission to establish an administrative enforcement process for fairly and efficiently addressing violations of California's appliance efficiency standards and certification requirements.
The new regulations add Section 1609: Administrative Civil Penalties, to the State's Appliance Efficiency Regulations (California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 20, Sections 1601-1608). Section 1609 specifies who and what types of violations may be subject to a monetary penalty, what factors must be considered in determining the amount of a monetary penalty, what process must be followed to impose a monetary penalty, and how to appeal a decision by the Energy Commission.
The California Energy Commission provides compliance assistance to manufacturers and their agents, contractors, retailers, building departments and their inspectors, and to consumers or the public at large. For assistance, visit the Commission website at http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/outreach/index.html

Staff Webinar to Improve the California Whole-House Home Energy Rating System
California Energy Commission staff will conduct a webinar to obtain information from stakeholders interested in improving the California Whole-House Home Energy Rating System. In late 2012, the Commission opened the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Order Instituting Informational (OII) Proceeding, Order No. 12-1114-6, to identify potential procedures and other actions to improve the HERS program. Information gathered through the OII process will eventually lead to a rulemaking specific to the Whole-House Home Energy Rating System.
In August 2009, the Commission adopted revised California HERS regulations and the HERS Technical Manual1 to include Whole-House Home Energy Ratings in the HERS program2. Within the Whole-House Home Energy Rating System, a home is rated on a scale from 0 to 250 to show its efficiency relative to a reference home built to meet the 2008 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
The webinar will be held on:Wednesday, June 17, 2015
1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Pacific)
Remote Access Available by Computer or Phone via WebEx
TELECONFERENCE OPTION: Parties and the public may attend the Public Workshop in person at the above location or by telephone and/or by computer via our "WebEx" web conferencing system. For additional details on how to participate via WebEx, please see the notice at:

UILDER CAN SIGN AS "RESPONSIBLE PERSON"
Section 5537 of the Business and Professions Code does not require a licensed architect for the design of certain single-family dwellings of conventional wood-framed construction. The architect or builder (general contractor responsible for construction) of a residential subdivision project is permitted to sign a CF1R as a "responsible person," and be in compliance with Section 10-103 of the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
ASSISTANCE FROM THE RESIDENTIAL COMPLIANCE MANUAL
Section 2.4.3 of the Energy Commission's approved 2013 Residential Compliance Manual states, "For homes that do not require a licensed design professional, the builder may sign the Certificate of Compliance (CF1R) in the 'Responsible Building Designers' signature block."
HELP WITH THE 2013 ENERGY STANDARDS
For assistance with understanding or locating information in the 2013 Energy Standards, contact the Energy Standards Hotline at: (800) 772-3300 (toll-free in California); (916) 654-5106 (outside California); or via email at title24@energy.ca.gov.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) staff will be holding a Workshop on Energy Efficiency Baselines on April 28, 2015, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the CPUC Auditorium (505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA, 94102). Agenda, call in information, and request for comments are forthcoming.
In D.14-10-046, the Public Utilities Commission directed staff to work with the Energy Commission to increase awareness of how energy efficiency baselines are applied in relation to the volume of deferred retrofits and the ability of program administrators to target and accelerate such upgrades cost-effectively, which were identified in the utilities' 2015 funding requests. Topics at the April 28 workshop will cover:
(1) The policy framework that establishes energy efficiency baselines;
(2) Input from energy efficiency stakeholders;
(3) The treatment of to-code and above codes savings for procurement
planning;
(4) The scope of CPUC/CEC/Navigant's Existing Baseline Analysis; and
(5) The status of IOU pilots into alternative baselines.
The CPUC must accurately measure savings from energy efficiency in order to forecast energy savings to inform energy procurement planning, with the goal of avoiding construction of new non-renewable power plants. The CPUC has determined that in most cases, the appropriate baseline is set as the current code or standard applicable to that equipment, as equipment will naturally be upgraded to the code or standard level when it is replaced. The CPUC currently allows exceptions to this policy, such as when the IOU program is shown to influence the "early retirement" of functioning, yet inefficient equipment. However, some stakeholders argue that the existing condition should be the norm, not the exception.
The CPUC, Energy Commission, and Navigant are preparing an Energy Efficiency Baseline Analysis is to examine the appropriateness of using the code or existing conditions baseline as the default baseline to estimate energy efficiency program savings for different types of measures, and the implications for future Title 20 and 24 updates, the demand forecast, and ratepayers.

“Booting Up” a California Computer Efficiency Standard?
In March, the California Energy Commission (CEC) published their proposed minimum energy efficiency requirements for computers and displays. These two product groups account for approximately five percent of California’s commercial and residential electricity consumption, according to the CEC. The commission believes that the proposed standard could save 2,702 GWh per year, reducing consumer and business electricity costs by up to $430 million annually.
Computer products covered by the CEC’s proposal include desktops, notebooks, thin-clients, small-scale servers, and workstations. Tablets, game consoles, handheld gaming devices, servers other than small-scale units, and industrial small scale servers are excluded. Strongly influenced by ENERGY STAR’s Program Requirements for Computers version 6.1, the proposal uses a Total Energy Consumption (TEC) approach which focuses on the limiting the computer’s annual energy consumption during non-productive idle, standby, and off modes. It’s calculated using the following formula:
TEC Calculation (ETEC) for Desktop, Integrated Desktop, Thin Client and Notebook Computers
ETEC = (8760 ÷ 1000) × (POFF × TOFF + PSLEEP × TSLEEP + PLONG_IDLE × TLONG_IDLE + PSHORT_IDLE × TSHORT_IDLE)
Where: POFF = measured power consumption in off mode (W), PSLEEP = measured power consumption in sleep mode (W), PLONG_IDLE = measured power consumption in long idle mode (W), PSHORT_IDLE = measured power consumption in short idle mode (W), and TOFF, TSLEEP, TLONG_IDLE, and TSHORT_IDLE are mode weightings as specified in ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Computers version 6.1
The calculated annual energy consumption from above must be less than the allowed total energy consumption using the tables below.

In addition to the above, computers must ship with power management settings that automatically powers down the unit into sleep mode or off mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity and puts connected displays into sleep mode within 15 minutes of user inactivity.
Workstation computers and small scale servers manufactured after January 1, 2017, must comply with the following:- Powered using an 80+ Gold internal power supply
- Incorporate Energy Efficient Ethernet functionality
- Transition into sleep mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity and power down connected displays within 15 minutes of user inactivity
Displays covered by the CEC proposal include computer monitors and commercial signage displays* (excluding electronic billboards and digital picture frames). The modal power consumption metrics used for computer monitors are based on the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Displays, version 6.0.

Energy Commission Approves Water Appliance Standards to Save More Than 100 Billion Gallons Per Year
For Immediate Release
Apr. 8, 2015

Governor Brown's recent executive order helps to speed up approval
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Due to the severity of California's drought, the state's experts have been managing water resources to deal with the effects of the drought and prepare for the next one. As part of the solution, the California Energy Commission approved standards for water appliances which will save more than 10 billion gallons of water in the first year. Over time, the water savings is estimated to reach 105 billion gallons per year - a savings of more than three times the annual amount of water used by the City of San Francisco.
"California is serious about water conservation and is committed to consistent and clear water efficiency policies," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "In the face of California's current drought, we must use water as efficiently as possible and updating minimum standards for toilets, urinals and faucets is a step in that direction."
The energy efficiency and water standards approved today require water appliances to consume less water thereby using less energy while performing the same function. The details for each appliance are as follows:
- Toilets and urinals, except those designed for prisons or mental health facilities. Toilets shall not consume more than 1.28 gallons per flush and shall have a waste extraction score of no fewer than 350 grams. Urinals shall not consume more than 0.125 gallons per flush. (These facilities have specially-designed toilets and urinals to address security and health issues.)
- Residential lavatory faucets shall not exceed 1.2 gallons per minute flow rate.
- Kitchen faucets shall not exceed 1.8 gallons per minute flow rate and may have capability to increase to 2.2 gallons per minute momentarily for filling pots and pans.
- Public lavatory faucets shall not exceed 0.5 gallon per minute flow rate.
As of January 2014, in California there were more than 45 million faucets, 30 million toilets, and 1 million urinals. California consumes about 443 billion gallons of water a year for flushing toilets and urinals and running faucets. Reducing water consumption by establishing minimum efficiency standards for these appliances is a key component of California's overall water and energy use reduction strategies.
Last week, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. directed the first ever statewide mandatory water reduction in Executive Order B-29-15 [ http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=18910 ]. One of the four California Energy Commission responsibilities in the executive order is establishing standards that improve the efficiency of water appliances, including toilets, urinals and faucets available for sale and installation in new and existing buildings.
The executive order also gave the California Energy Commission the authority to adopt the standards today, rather than wait another month. In addition, the emergency situation allowed the commission to prohibit the sale and installation of certain toilets, urinals and faucets that do not meet minimum water efficiency requirements as of Jan. 1, 2016, regardless of the manufactured date.
For more than two years, California has been dealing with the effects of drought. To learn about all the actions the state has taken to manage our water system and cope with the impacts of the drought, visit Drought.CA.Gov. Every Californian should take steps to conserve water.

CONDITIONAL APPROVAL EXPIRED ON MARCH 31, 2015
The conditional approval of EnergyPro V6.2 for nonresidential buildings expired at 5 p.m. on March 31, 2015. Now, you will no longer be able to submit permit applications for projects modeled with the performance module of EnergyPro V6.2. The conditional approval expiration does not affect permit applications with compliance documentation generated by any prescriptive modules, since the Energy Commission does not approve prescriptive modules of software.
APPROVED SOFTWARE FOR NONRESIDENTIAL COMPLIANCE
CBECC-Com and IES Virtual Environment compliance software are currently approved for nonresidential building permit purposes, and are the only approved software output you can submit, beginning April 1, 2015, when the performance method is used. Plan your projects accordingly. Download links, status and technical assistance information about all approved modeling software may be found on the Energy Commission's "2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards Approved Computer Compliance Programs" webpage at: http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/2013_computer_prog_list.html.

Energy Commission Releases Draft Energy Efficiency Computer Standards
Consumers Will Save Money Each Month on Electric Bills
For Immediate Release
Amber Pasricha Beck (916) 654-4989
March 12, 2015
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission released today proposed energy efficiency standards for computers and monitors that will save consumers hundreds of millions of dollars every year. For desktop computers alone, it is estimated that a $2 increase in manufacturing costs will return $69 to consumers in energy savings over the five-year life of a desktop.
When grouped together, computers and monitors are among the leading users of energy in California, and most sit idle, wasting energy and money while not in use. Although many manufacturers already choose to build relatively efficient models, the Energy Commission has determined significant efficiency improvements can be made-equivalent to the energy consumption of all homes in the cities of San Francisco and Santa Clara combined.
"Computers spend roughly half of their time sitting idle, meaning they are on but not being used," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency [ http://www.energy.ca.gov/commissioners/mcallister.html ]. "Last year, a report was issued showing consumers have a strong desire to reduce computer energy use. An energy efficiency standard for computers and monitors is an opportunity to save energy without changing the core functions of the machine."
The proposed standards are part of a draft staff report [ http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/2014-AAER-2/prerulemaking/ ]. Proposed standards vary by computer type - notebook and desktop computers, workstations, and small-scale servers - and allow the industry flexibility to choose how to comply. Standards for notebooks, small-scale servers, and workstation computers would take effect Jan. 1, 2017. Standards for desktop computers and thin-clients would take effect Jan. 1, 2018.
Some highlights of the draft report include the following:
- A machine's power management, when it is not in use, will be improved.
- Standards are estimated to save 2,702 gigawatt hours a year, potentially reducing the utility bills of consumers by $430 million annually.
- The estimated increase in cost for notebooks, where 73 percent of today's models already comply with the proposal, is $1 with consumers saving more than $2 in energy costs over four years.
- Desktop computers, which lag behind notebooks in energy efficiency innovation, offer the largest energy savings opportunity at about $69 in savings over a five-year life for a $2 efficiency upgrade.
- The cost of a computer monitor will increase about $10 but will save consumers more than $26 over a six-year life. This standard would affect monitors manufactured on or after Jan. 1, 2017.
Computer monitors and signage displays, like those seen in airports for flight schedules, lay out a minimum threshold for the amount of power consumed in "on," "standby" and "off" modes.
- In addition to power-saving features, the proposed standards would align test procedures and regulatory framework with existing international and federal ENERGY STAR specifications.
"With roughly as many computers and monitors as people in California, the Energy Commission identified a large amount of energy consumed and the potential for significant savings within this category," McAllister said.
The Energy Commission developed the draft staff report and standards after receiving stakeholder input beginning in September 2012. A workshop is scheduled for April 15, where public comments and further stakeholder input will be heard. The comments will guide changes to the staff analysis and proposed standards.
About the California Energy Commission
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. The agency was established by the California Legislature through the Warren-Alquist Act in 1974. It has seven core responsibilities: advancing state energy policy, encouraging energy efficiency, certifying thermal power plants, investing in energy innovation, developing renewable energy, transforming transportation, and preparing for energy emergencies.

Energy Commission Releases Framework to Double Progress in Achieving Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission has released the Existing Buildings Energy Efficiency Action Plan (Action Plan) which lays out a roadmap to increase energy efficiency in existing commercial and residential buildings. Commercial and residential buildings account for nearly 70 percent of California's electricity and 55 percent of California's natural gas consumption. Improving the energy performance of our existing buildings is crucial to reaching the state's climate goals. Implementation of the Action Plan will help meet Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.'s goal to double the progress in achieving energy efficiency of California's existing buildings.
"By renewing and updating our commitment to the delivery of efficiency technologies and services, we will help create the conditions that enable consumers and property owners to make more efficient choices," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "Our long-term goal must be to ensure efficiency is attractive, straightforward and routine across the marketplace-in each building improvement project and equipment replacement."
The Action Plan provides a comprehensive framework centered on five goals, each with a series of strategies to achieve it. Each strategy includes collaboration between industry and government. Easy, regular access to energy use data for building owners and their agents is a key component of the Action Plan. Making efficiency project costs and savings information available is another principal strategy.
"Effective solutions will be those that provide true value for California's building owners and consumers," said McAllister. "After all, demand begins with them. Therefore, the Existing Buildings Energy Efficiency Action Plan focuses on enabling markets to implement efficiency at a scale that is competitive with other clean energy supply options."
The approach in the Action Plan is to help consumers recognize the benefits and value of efficiency, supported by policies to make public and private financial assistance available and easy to access. Government leadership plays a key role in this by creating a new statewide commercial benchmarking and disclosure program, encouraging local government innovation, and shaping better energy codes for existing buildings.
California has approximately 600,000 commercial buildings, nine million single-family homes and four million multifamily units. An estimated 50 percent of existing buildings in California were built before California Building Energy Efficiency Standards went into effect in 1978. Doubling the rate of energy savings from building efficiency projects would result in lower total building energy use in 2030 than in 2014, despite population and economic growth, and is equivalent to a 17 percent reduction in usage compared to projected 2030 levels.
The Action Plan was prompted by the passage of Assembly Bill 758, authored by former Assembly Member Nancy Skinner (D- Berkeley). Because stakeholder engagement is critical to the long-term success of the Action Plan, the Energy Commission will conduct a public engagement process. A workshop is scheduled for April 7 and revisions to the Action Plan will be made in response to public comment. The report will go to the California Energy Commission for adoption in mid-2015.
"The California Energy Commission looks forward to continued partnership with the California Public Utilities Commission, other state agencies, public and investor-owned utilities, industry and local governments on the plan's implementation, oversight and evolution," concluded McAllister.
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. The agency was established by the California Legislature through the Warren-Alquist Act in 1974. It has seven core responsibilities:
advancing state energy policy, encouraging energy efficiency, certifying thermal power plants, investing in energy innovation, developing renewable energy, transforming transportation and preparing for energy emergencies.

The draft Existing Buildings Energy Efficiency Action Plan has been posted to http://www.energy.ca.gov/ab758/documents/.
This plan, required by Assembly Bill 758 (Skinner, Chapter 470, Statutes of 2009), provides a 10-year roadmap to dramatically increase energy efficiency in existing residential, commercial, and public buildings, consistent with Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.'s goal to double efficiency in California's existing buildings by 2030.
The California Energy Commission will work with the California Public Utilities Commission, other agencies, local governments, and industry stakeholders to achieve the plan objectives. Public workshops will be scheduled for spring and summer, and stakeholder feedback will be incorporated into a final plan.
The first workshop will be held on April 7, 2015. Please subscribe to the Existing Buildings ListServ (http://www.energy.ca.gov/ab758/) to receive the workshop notice.

Schools Can Now Apply Online for Energy Efficiency Funding Through Proposition 39
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission has launched a new online system for schools to submit Energy Expenditure Plans under the California Clean Energy Jobs Act (Proposition 39). The system provides schools a streamlined process to submit all the elements of a plan for review and approval under the newly authorized 2015 Program Implementation Guidelines.
"Voters approved Proposition 39 in 2012 to help schools get much needed funding to improve facilities," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, who is the Commission's lead on energy efficiency. "We want to provide a fast and simple way for schools to apply for funding. This online system moves us in that direction."
Proposition 39 funds are used to improve building energy efficiency and expand clean energy generation in schools. Local Educational Agencies (LEAs), including county offices of education, school districts, charter schools and state special schools, are eligible for funding. A total of $279 million is available for the second fiscal year of the Proposition 39 program. Schools can request funding for energy projects by submitting an Energy Expenditure Plan application for either one year or multiple years to the Energy Commission.
Beginning in 2013 and continuing for the following five years, Proposition 39 transfers up to $2.5 billion in new revenues to create clean energy jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save energy and costs for schools. To date, the Energy Commission has approved 253 energy expenditure plans, totaling more than $170 million and benefiting 788 schools in California.
The online system is expected to improve the application and review process. The system was tested by schools and outside entities to ensure this week's launch goes smoothly. LEAs will find an updated set of calculators used to determine saving-to-investment ratios, automation in filling out identification information and easier-to-use formats. The online system will also allow the review process to become more efficient resulting in faster approvals.
Proposition 39 changed the corporate income tax code and allocates projected revenue to the state General Fund and the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund. Under the initiative, millions of dollars are available annually for appropriation by the Legislature for eligible energy projects such as energy efficiency upgrades and clean energy generation at schools.
To help schools through the application process, the Energy Commission developed easy-to-use energy savings calculator tools for simple energy projects and has a team of engineers and energy specialists to review and approve expenditure plans. Schools can access these online resources at www.energy.ca.gov/efficiency/proposition39/ and get advice by calling the toll-free hotline at (855) 380-8722.

ii) Stanford University, CA, In Situ Sensors for the Control of Synthetic Natural Gas Production, Hanson, Ronald, $150,000. The goal of this project is to demonstrate a novel sensor technology that provides rapid feedback during turbulent gas flow within a reactor system. This technology is needed to control steam addition in a reactor system which protects catalyst reformation and to efficiently control the biomass gasifier. The technology has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of renewable natural gas.
iii) Pyro-E LLC, Oakland, CA, Pyroelectric-assisted Heat and Power System for Distributed Co-generation, Lu, Kevin, $150,000. The goal of this project is to demonstrate a micro Combined Heat and Power (CHP) device that is expected to be more efficient and have increased reliability compared to other micro CHPs. The use of solid-state pyroelectric materials to convert heat directly into electricity is expected to be more powerful than traditional thermoelectrics. The technology has the potential to increase baseline engine efficiency and reduced ownership cost for micro CHP systems.
b. Transportation Natural Gas (14-03TNG)
i) Quantitative BioSciences, Inc., San Diego, CA, Algae Purification of Agricultural Waste Biogas for Biomethane, Cookson, Natalie, $150,000. The goal of this project is to demonstrate a biogas purification technology that will be designed to clean the biogas resulting from wastewater treatment by passing it through algae "raceway" pond water. The carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide components of the biogas will transfer to the water, leaving only purified biomethane that will be compressed and used as a transportation fuel. Compared to typical lagoon methods used on farms, this technology is expected to use less land while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing energy from additional waste sources.
ii) Otherlab, San Francisco, CA, Spiral Tube Low-Profile Natural Gas Tank, Recht, Daniel, $145,267. The goal of this project is to determine the feasibility of using spiral tubes made of braided fiber composite to create a low-profile natural gas tank with a height of no more than seven inches for use in compressed natural gas vehicles. This technology is expected to free up cargo space and increase driving range by lying flat in the bottom of a truck bed or the undercarriage of a passenger car.
iii) Ascend Energy Systems, Shingle Springs, CA, Direct Natural Gas Ceramic Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle Feasibility, Pearson, Kenneth, $146,283. The goal of this project is to determine the feasibility of using a newly developed small solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) to utilize natural gas directly to generate electricity in an electric all-terrain vehicle. Older SOFC technology has typically been heavier, bulkier, and more sensitive to shock and vibration. This project is expected to serve as a model for examining the merits of SOFCs in other hybrids for larger on-road vehicles. This will be done by showcasing an expected increased efficiency compared to natural gas vehicles while decreasing total emissions.

While the Energy Commission continues to improve software functionality, there are three residential software issues where work-arounds have been established for users of the computer compliance programs, and for building departments to verify energy projects. The only Energy Commission-approved work-arounds may be viewed by following this link.
When permanent solutions to these issues have been established and tested, the work-arounds will no longer be allowed and information will be distributed to users.

The California Energy Commission has developed the 2013 Low-Rise Residential Mandatory Measures Summary (Mandatory Measures Summary). The Mandatory Measures Summary is a tool designed to help quickly identify the mandatory measures at the design phase of low-rise residential projects. This tool is not a compliance document and therefore is not required to be registered with an approved HERS provider data registry. Designers may incorporate this document onto building plans to specify the mandatory measures. The Mandatory Measures Summary is available at:

NONRESIDENTIAL COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTS WILL NOT NEED TO BE REGISTERED
Section 10-103 of the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 1) requires nonresidential Certificates of Compliance, Installation, and Acceptance documents to be registered beginning January 1, 2015, contingent upon approval of a nonresidential data registry by the Energy Commission.
To date, no nonresidential data registry has been approved. Until the Energy Commission does approve a nonresidential data registry at a Business Meeting and informs stakeholders and the industry, registration for nonresidential compliance documents will not be required.

UPDATED 2013 ENERGY STANDARDS COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE APPROVED
A new version of the public domain compliance software (CBECC-Com and CBECC-Com Compliance Manager) was approved by the Executive Director under his delegated authority on December 03, 2014. Both Version 3a and the previous Version 3 (approved by the Energy Commission on August 27, 2014) can be used to show compliance with the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. The software is available for download at:
http://bees.archenergy.com/software.html.
VERSION 3a FEATURES
CBECC-Com Version 3a incorporates additional functionality and contains corrections to the previous version (Version 3) of the Application Programming Interface (API -- also known as "Compliance Manager"),
including:
- A "quick analysis" modeling option to provide faster preliminary analysis (not permitted for final compliance analysis) and budget estimates, allowing easy alternate design options at early stages of building design.
- Documentation of the quick analysis options in the software user manual.
A list of features can be found at:
http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/documents/CBECC-COM/.
While increasing functionality and addressing concerns of the building industry, the additions and revisions do not significantly affect compliance with the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Thus, this update was able to be approved under the Executive Director's delegated authority.
Information for obtaining CBECC-Com Version 3a is posted on the Energy Commission's 2013 Standards website for approved computer compliance programs at:
http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/2013_computer_prog_list.html.

California Approves $13.5 Million in Loans for Energy-Efficient Upgrades to Schools Grants for alternative and renewable fuel projects totaling nearly $8 million also approved
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission approved $13.5 million for energy efficiency measures to 14 schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Joaquin County and Orange County during its monthly business meeting today. The Energy Commission also approved grants to four entities to develop and research alternative and renewable fuel projects.
Energy Conservation Assistance Act
Three school districts received loans through the Energy Conservation Assistance Act (ECAA), a zero- or low-interest loan program providing funds to public entities. School districts, charter schools, county offices of education, state special schools and community college districts are eligible for a zero-percent interest rate loan. Funding is provided by the Clean Energy Jobs Act (Proposition 39) through ECAA-Ed and must be used for energy projects.
Awardees for the $13.5 million include:
- Campbell Union School District: $7.5 million for energy efficiency measures and solar installation projects at 11 schools, which includes 10 charter schools. The individual projects will be paid back between 11 and 18 years and collectively will save more than $480,000 annually.
- Newport Mesa Unified School District: $3 million for renewable energy measures at the school district's facilities. Based on the loan amount and California Solar Initiative incentives, the payback is roughly six years. The projects will save more than $460,000 annually.
- Patterson Joint Unified School District: $3 million to install solar photovoltaic panels at two school district sites. The project is estimated to save the district more than $165,000 in annual energy costs. Based on the loan amount, the payback is about 18 years.
Alternative fuel and vehicles
The Energy Commission approved grants and contracts through the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP), which supports the development and use of alternative and renewable fuel projects and advanced transportation technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on petroleum-based fuels.
Awardees for the $7.7 million include:
- South Coast Air Quality Management District: $1.4 million to install overhead wire infrastructure to demonstrate zero-emission truck operations along the I-710 corridor in Los Angeles County.
- CalSTART, Inc.: $900,000 grant to develop and demonstrate an innovative, battery/fuel cell hybrid zero-emission transit bus that could reduce the price of fuel cell hybrid buses by up to 70 percent.
- Pacific Ethanol Development, LLC: $3 million grant to develop and use sorghum feedstock that will lead to the production of low-carbon transportation fuel in Madera and Stockton.
- The City of San Mateo: $2.4 million grant to produce low-carbon biomethane from the unused digester gas generated at the city's wastewater treatment plant. The biomethane will be used to fuel fleet vehicles. According to city officials, this project will create 2 full-time jobs and 15-20 part-time jobs.
Other actions
- The Energy Commission approved regulations creating an administrative process to enforce compliance with California's energy and water efficiency standards for appliances. Once approved by the Office of Administrative Law, the process will allow the Energy Commission to impose monetary penalties for violations of the Appliance Efficiency Regulations. The new enforcement process is the result of Senator Fran Pavley's (D - Agoura Hills) 2011 bill, SB 454, which gave the Energy Commission this additional authority because without adequate enforcement of the regulations, energy and water savings totaling billions of dollars since they were enacted will not be realized.
- The California Advanced Lighting Controls Training Program and the National Lighting Contractors Association of America were approved to become Acceptance Test Technician Certification Providers. They will train and certify field technicians and employers on the Building Energy Efficiency Standards lighting control acceptance tests.
A detailed list of all items before the Commission at today's business meeting can be found online.

This project will develop spatial analytics software that uses Geographic Information Systems that aggregate multi-family residential building data and natural gas meter data. The goal is to merge and analyze existing databases relevant to multi-family residential buildings and provide recommendations on applicable natural gas energy efficiency measures for each building. If successful, this technology has the potential to help utilities identify buildings with high gas use.
b. Transportation Natural Gas (14-02TNG)
i) Cliff Edge Consulting, LLC, Sylmar, CA, Exhaust Gas Heat Exchanger Model for Mobile ICEs, Stewart, John, $74,960. This project will develop an exhaust gas heat exchanger for natural gas engines used in mobile applications, such as heavy-duty trucks and locomotives. Recovered heat would be used to increase the available power of the vehicle while reducing emissions. If successful, this technology has the potential to save 3,334 gallons per year per truck.
ii) McMem, Diamond Bar, CA, Low Cost High Performance Natural Gas Vehicle, Wong, Jim, $150,000. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of using a patent-pending expander-compressor concept to increase natural gas vehicle engine performance at a much lower incremental cost. This project targets full-size pickup trucks and cars. If successful, this technology has the potential to save 50 percent in fuel costs in California compared to gasoline or diesel.

California Approves $12 Million for Energy Efficiency and Alternative Fuel Programs
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission today approved more than $6.7 million in no-interest loans for the Tulare City School District, Kern Community College District, and Yuba Community College District to install energy-efficient upgrades at their facilities.
During its monthly business meeting, the five-member Commission also approved more than $5.1 million in grants to Community Fuels, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District to support their alternative fuels programs.
Loans
Loans were provided through the Energy Conservation Assistance Act-Education (ECAA-Ed) program, which provides no-interest loans to community colleges and K-12 schools. The loans are funded by the California Clean Energy Jobs Act (Proposition 39). Funds must be used for energy projects and are paid back within 20 years of the loan date using energy cost savings.
- Tulare City School District: Received a $3 million loan to install solar panels at its eight schools. The loan will be paid back in about 18 years and will save about $160,000 annually in utility costs.
- Kern Community College District: Received a $3 million loan to install solar panels in its Porterville College parking lot. The loan will be paid back in about 19 years and will save about $150,000 annually in utility costs.
- Yuba Community College District: Received $710,000 loan to install energy management systems for a well pump. The loan will be paid back in about nine years and will save about $75,000 annually in energy costs.
Grants
Grants were provided through the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP), which supports the development and use of alternative and renewable fuel projects and advanced transportation technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on petroleum-based fuels.
- Community Fuels: Received more than $4 million to increase the efficiency and production rate at its biodiesel facility in Stockton. The plant converts waste grease, agricultural waste, and other low-grade feedstock into biodiesel fuel.
- Sacramento Area Council of Governments: Received nearly $500,000 to install electric vehicle fast chargers in three grocery store parking lots. The Sacramento Municipal Utility District will own, operate and maintain the charging stations.
- South Coast Air Quality Management District: Received approval of an amendment providing $420,000 to an existing $300,000 grant the district received in 2013 to install electric vehicle direct current fast charging stations. The additional funds will be used to install more versatile stations that can charge a wider variety of electric vehicles.
A detailed list of all items presented at today's business meeting can be found online.

Computers Use More Energy Than Previously Thought Office computers often left on consuming energy around the clock
SACRAMENTO - According to two studies commissioned by the California Energy Commission, computers are not going into sleep mode or automatically being turned off as often as users think, leaving opportunities to save more energy. The implications of the research are that workplace desktop computers consume significant amounts of energy even when not in use.
The first study, "A Survey of Computer Power Modes Usage in a University Population,"[http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2014-093] surveyed more than 2,000 respondents to obtain detailed information about the use of more than 3,000 office desktops, home desktops, and laptops. This large user-centric study is unique compared to most previous studies because of the focus on user behaviors regarding power management features.
"People think when they leave their workstation, the computer will reduce its own energy consumption after a specified amount of time," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the agency's lead on energy efficiency issues. "These studies show a strong desire and intent by computer users to reduce energy use. Identified user error and knowledge gaps indicate significant room for improvement in the power management options and interfaces available to computer users."
Computers have built-in power management software-with settings such as sleep, hibernate and shutdown-that enables computers and monitors to consume less energy when not in use; however, these features are not delivering the full energy savings potential.
Additional findings:
- Respondents report using automatic power management features over manual modes. The survey showed that 39 percent of the time users regularly use manual controls to put office desktop computers into sleep, hibernate, or off modes. Of those office desktops not taking advantage of automatic power management, 61 percent are left on all the time.
- Users changed power management settings themselves in 50 percent of laptops, 41 percent of home desktops and 20 percent in office desktops. Respondents have less control over their office desktops than their laptops or home desktops.
- According to the survey, the two main reasons computers were left on, even when not in use for hours, are that users felt restarting is too slow and the belief the computer will automatically go into sleep or other lower-power mode. For office desktops, two other main reasons were "need to leave computer on for updates or backups" and "needs to be available for remote access."
The second study, "Monitoring Computer Power Modes Usage in a University Population,"[http://www.energy.ca.gov/publications/displayOneReport.php?pubNum=CEC-500-2014-092] used software to remotely monitor 125 computers in the first study, 24 hours a day for several weeks. Research was gathered by monitoring actual computer usage patterns, a supplementary questionnaire, and direct observations of computers' power management settings. The findings were compared to those of the first study.
Among the findings of the second study:
- The monitoring study showed a large difference between direct observation of user's computer settings and their survey responses. Researchers observed that 20 percent of computers had automatic power management enabled whereas the survey responses indicated that 84 percent of computers had at least one automatic power setting enabled. The data suggest users incorrectly believe automatic settings are engaged when they are not.
- Workplace desktop computers are on 76 percent of the day, even though they were only being used 16 percent of the day. Sleep mode was enabled for about 7 percent of the day.
- Overall, workplace desktop computers in the study were on and not being used more than 60 percent of the time. If computers had manually or automatically been turned off or put in sleep mode, energy use would be less.
- The majority of computers (69 percent) are off for less than 5 percent of the time, and most of those are off for a few minutes a day, likely when rebooting.
"The considerable amount of energy that is being consumed by computers that are on, but not in use, shows that with better power management alternatives, a large amount of energy could be saved with improved power management features," McAllister said.
The California Plug Load Research Center[http://calplug.org/] conducted the two studies to better understand computer use patterns and identify potential ways to reduce energy waste in California. The Energy Commission will use these studies to supplement other research as it develops a draft staff proposal for computer and monitor energy efficiency standards.

California Lights the Way with Proposals for Energy-Efficient Lights
Improving Efficiency of Small Bulbs Generally Used in Track Lighting and Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) Designed to Replace Incandescent Bulbs
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission yesterday released a draft staff report that shines a little light on the energy efficiency of small diameter directional lamps often used in commercial track lighting settings and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that can replace screw-based incandescent bulbs typically found in homes.
"Rapid technology advances have produced highly energy-efficient, long-lasting light sources that are every bit as aesthetically pleasing as conventional lighting sources, and even more functional," said Commissioner Andrew McAllister, the agency's lead on energy efficiency issues. "Updating your older bulbs with modern versions is one of the easiest ways to save money and help our great state reach its energy goals."
To develop the report, the Energy Commission sought stakeholder input and proposals on standards, test procedures, labeling requirements, and other measures to reduce energy consumption.
The Energy Commission hosted a workshop yesterday to gather public input on the draft proposed standards in the report. Written comments on the proposal will be accepted through October 29. The purpose of the workshop and written comment period is to gather input before formally proposing new standards with a rulemaking. Final standards are expected to be adopted in 2015 and take effect no earlier than one year after adoption.
Small-diameter directional lamps, specifically multifaceted reflector lamps (MR-16s), are available in three technologies-halogen, halogen infrared reflecting (HIR) and LED. In California, about 16 million of these lamps are installed in existing buildings, and the stock is expected to grow to more than 20 million by 2028.
Energy Commission staff found a large variation in energy efficiency among lamps sold in California. Halogen bulbs start at 15 lumens per watt, while LEDs range from 40-90 lumens per watt and consume as little as one-sixth of the energy. Although LEDs are initially more expensive to purchase, the life of one LED lamp is about seven times greater than the life of one halogen lamp, so fewer lamps need to be purchased. Because LEDs consume much less energy than conventional lamps, the lifetime energy savings far exceeds the higher purchase cost. Energy Commission staff proposes that, effective January 1, 2018, all small directional lamps have an efficiency minimum of 80 lumens per watt and a rated life of nearly three years.
Lighting is estimated to consume 22 percent of residential electricity, according to the 2009 Residential Appliance Saturation Survey (RASS). There are about 600 million general-purpose lamps in residential buildings in California. Moving to high-efficiency LED lamps could cut the energy consumption of these bulbs to less than half.
The Energy Commission staff proposal focuses on three aspects of lamps: the efficiency, color rendering index (CRI), and color correlated temperature. The proposal allows for tradeoffs between the efficiency of a lamp and color rendering and would be implemented in two phases with the first on January 1, 2017, and a second more stringent phase on January 1, 2019. The proposal also includes labeling standards that require manufacturers to meet minimum thresholds before making claims about dimmability and applicability to retrofits of traditionally incandescent sockets.
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. Created by the Legislature in 1974 and located in Sacramento, six basic responsibilities guide the Energy Commission as it sets state energy policy: forecasting future energy needs; licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts or larger; promoting energy efficiency and conservation by setting the state's appliance and building efficiency standards; supporting public interest energy research that advances energy science and technology through research, development, and demonstration programs; developing renewable energy resources and alternative renewable energy technologies for buildings, industry and transportation; planning for and directing state response to energy emergencies.

This project will determine the feasibility of using a novel ultrasonic measurement system to enable quick and cost effective non-destructive determination of the yield strength of undisturbed and in-place steel natural gas transmission pipelines in the field. If successful, this project will benefit California ratepayers by improving public safety and reducing the cost and disruptions to service caused by intrusive measurements or unnecessary repairs.
d. University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, Energy-Efficient Clothes Dryers: Self-Calibrating Automatic Cycle Termination Controller, Pistochini, Theresa, $129,614. This project will develop a low-cost, self-calibrating automatic controller to reduce energy use in gas clothes dryers by 20 percent or more, through accurately terminating the drying cycle when the remaining moisture content of the load is two percent or less. If successful, this project will benefit California ratepayers by reducing the cost to operate clothes dryers.
e. University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, Enrichment of Microbial Communities for Biogas Production in High-Solids, Simmons, Christopher, $126,315. This project will enhance biorenewable methane production by improving anaerobic digestion through development and characterization of a microbial community adapted to high-solids conditions. This project targets seasonal food processing residues, and aims to facilitate the distribution and to accelerate the adoption of anaerobic digestion in the food processing industry. If successful, this project will benefit California ratepayers by increasing renewable biomethane production to offset fossil fuel use.
f. Solar Stream Innovations, Chino Hills, CA, Enhancing Winter Solar Water Heating and High Temperature Chiller Operation, Lee, Jeffrey, $150,000. This project will determine the feasibility of fabricating a vacuum insulated manifold for retrofitting evacuated tube solar water heating collectors to increase winter water and space heating, and to generate high temperatures for efficient summer chiller operation. If this project is successful, the impact of the proposed project on California ratepayers will be to decrease natural gas peak demand during the winter for heating and during the summer for electricity generation.

The California Energy Commission is seeking input on potential research areas that will help California achieve policy goals related to Zero Net Energy (ZNE) buildings. Input will help the Energy Commission better target research for upcoming solicitations funded by the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC), an electricity ratepayer surcharge established by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in December 2011.
The purpose of the EPIC program is to benefit ratepayers by funding clean energy technology projects that promote greater electricity reliability, lower costs, and increased safety. In addition to providing ratepayer benefits, funded projects must lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome the barriers that prevent the achievement of the state's statutory energy goals.
Please answer the questions in the document "Request for Input for EPIC ZNE Buildings", posted at the link below.

Energy Commission Approves First Wave of Proposition 39 Energy Expenditure Plans Schools in Alameda County, Temecula and Salinas among the first to have projects approved to receive funding from Department of Education
SACRAMENTO - The California Energy Commission approved the first set of energy expenditure plans for projects that will be funded by the California Clean Energy Jobs Act (Proposition 39). Schools in Alameda County, Temecula and Salinas will be able to use tens of thousands of dollars for classroom and school facility energy efficiency upgrades and clean energy projects.
"Proposition 39 injects millions into California's schools to upgrade aging heating, air and lighting systems," said Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. "School-by-school, these investments will boost energy efficiency, save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
Local education agencies (LEAs), including county offices of education, school districts, charter schools, and state special schools, are eligible for funding. A total of $381 million is available for the first fiscal year of the Proposition 39 program. Schools can request funding for energy projects by submitting an energy expenditure plan application to the Energy Commission. LEAs have the option to receive part or all of their first-year award allocation for energy planning purposes.
The first schools to get their plans approved will receive the following amounts from California's Department of Education for their energy projects:
- Temecula Valley Charter School requested $50,783 to replace its Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system
- Temecula Preparatory Academy requested $50,979 to replace its HVAC system
- Alameda County Office of Education requested $28,140 to fund interior and exterior lighting retrofits
- Santa Rita Union Elementary School District requested $115,438 to replace its HVAC system and fund interior and exterior light retrofits
"Optimizing energy use in schools can save them money and improve the learning environment for students," said Energy Commissioner Andrew McAllister. "The Commission's goal is to enable schools to identify good projects and put together a plan, and then expedite the funding approval so construction can begin."
To help schools through the application process, the Energy Commission developed easy-to-use energy savings calculator tools for simple energy projects and applications. Schools can apply for funds using these online resources (www.energy.ca.gov/efficiency/proposition39/) and get advice by calling the toll-free hotline: (855) 380-8722.
"The Commission's online energy savings calculators and other planning tools helped most of these applicants develop their plans for Commission approval," said McAllister.
The Energy Commission is the lead agency for Proposition 39 implementation and is working collaboratively with the California Department of Education, California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office, California Public Utilities Commission, California Workforce Investment Board, the Division of the State Architect, and the California Conservation Corps.
The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. Created by the Legislature in 1974 and located in Sacramento, six basic responsibilities guide the Energy Commission as it sets state energy policy: forecasting future energy needs; licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts or larger; promoting energy efficiency and conservation by setting the state's appliance and building efficiency standards; supporting public interest energy research that advances energy science and technology through research, development, and demonstration programs; developing renewable energy resources and alternative renewable energy technologies for buildings, industry and transportation; planning for and directing state response to energy emergencies.

California Aims to Increase Efficiency, Demand Response
To meet energy needs of a growing population and a recovering economy in the face of climate change and loss of power plants in Southern California, the state must find ways to significantly scale two preferred resources—energy efficiency and demand response—according to a report approved today by the California Energy Commission. The 2013 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) is the Energy Commission’s assessment of key energy issues facing California.
The report forecasts California’s future energy supply and demand and features a single managed demand forecast that leaders of the Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) agreed to use for planning and investment purposes. Equally important, each of the nine chapters includes recommendations for how to address regulatory and market challenges. It also lists steps being taken to balance supply and demand and mitigate reliability risks.
“The only way we can maintain a reliable power system in Southern California with minimal economic and environmental costs is with a balanced portfolio of preferred and conventional resources,” said Energy Commission Chair Robert B. Weisenmiller. “This IEPR focuses on increasing the deployment of preferred resources, in particular energy efficiency and demand response.”
Key findings include:
The urgency to scale-up demand response is high, if California is to maintain a reliable electric system, particularly in Southern California, in the absence of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), the retirement of power plants that use once-through-cooling, and the need for flexibility to integrate intermittent renewable resources. Despite its primary position in the loading order, there has been little progress toward integrating demand response into standard practice for grid operation. The energy agencies are working diligently to address market barriers to increase deployment of demand response.
California must plan for how climate change is likely to compromise electricity supply and demand, particularly during heat waves and cold snaps. For the first time, the 2013 IEPR looked at the impact climate change will have on electricity and natural gas consumption, in addition to electricity peak demand. Under a “mid” climate scenario, it found that consumption would increase by about 1,200 gigawatt hours and peak demand by 1.5 gigawatts in the next 10 years (equivalent to three large conventional power plants). Taking climate change into account in the IEPR planning process will reduce the possibility of future electricity shortfalls under a warming climate.
For the first time, the 2013 IEPR included additional achievable energy efficiency (AAEE) scenarios directly within the demand forecast. The energy agencies’ leaderships agreed to use the combined mid-demand baseline forecast and mid-AAEE scenario for their respective planning purposes. Significantly, the agreed-upon scenario anticipates nearly flat load growth over the next 10 years.
While trends indicate gasoline consumption will continue to decline, California’s population is continuing to grow. With the transportation sector contributing nearly 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, increasing low- and zero-emission vehicle use is essential to achieve a 10 percent carbon intensity reduction in fuels by 2020.
“While California is a leader in addressing climate change, further work is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare California’s energy system for the impacts of climate change,” said Energy Commissioner Andrew McAllister. “Our economy, environment, and public health depend on cutting carbon along with criteria pollutants and investing in the infrastructure needed to deliver safe, reliable and affordable energy. This report identifies what we need to do immediately and in the years ahead if we are to realize our future energy and climate goals.”
The 2013 IEPR focused on how to enhance the energy efficiency of both new and existing buildings. By adopting a basic definition of Zero Net Energy, the Commission sets the stage for its inclusion in future updates to California’s building standards for new construction. The report also considers policy approaches for achieving meaningful performance improvements in the state’s diverse stock of existing buildings—the second largest source of carbon emissions in California.
Achieving California’s 2050 greenhouse gas emission reduction goals (80 percent below 1990 levels) will require substantial transformation of California’s energy system. These challenges will be explored as part of the Climate Change 2013 Scoping Plan update, in addition to potential interim goals for 2030. The analysis will focus on three strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: energy efficiency, particularly in existing buildings; expanded zero-emission vehicles deployment; and decarbonizing the Western grid. The Energy Commission and California Air Resources Board will also jointly develop metrics to track progress against the 2013 Scoping Plan update.
The report incorporates and relies on data from the state’s other principal energy agencies, the CPUC and California ISO. The Energy Commission and CPUC established California’s “loading order” for new energy resources that puts energy efficiency and demand response first, renewable electricity supplies second, and new fossil-fired power plants last. The order was adopted in 2003 and is the foundation for IEPR reports

California schools are one step closer to receiving $550 million a year for energy efficiency projects that was made possible by voter-approved Proposition 39.
The California Energy Commission today unanimously adopted the California Clean Energy Jobs Act Guidelines, which it was tasked with developing.
The vote clears the way for local educational agencies to apply for award funds early next year.
"This program will help our schools save money on energy bills and improve the learning environment for our kids," said Energy Commissioner Andrew McAllister. "These building improvements will help make classrooms more comfortable and productive for California's students and their teachers, while at the same time growing California"s clean energy economy."
"We can and should embrace energy efficiency and renewable resources while freeing up dollars for the classroom and creating new opportunities for our students to learn about the environment," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. "Energy efficiency projects around the state, particularly if they take place in our schools, will help create jobs, protect our environment, save money and create teachable moments for students all at the same time."
The California Clean Energy Jobs Act led to changes in the corporate income tax structure and transfers up to $550 million annually from the General Fund to the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund for five fiscal years.
To prepare the Final Guidelines, Energy Commission staff conducted five statewide workshops and three webinars to gather public comment. After funding legislation was approved in June, Energy Commission staff accelerated the delivery of well-defined, effective program guidelines in an unprecedented six months. As a result, schools can start their projects as early as spring 2014.
Funding recipients may spend money on various types of energy projects including: improving lighting controls and occupancy sensors; replacing incandescent exit signs; installing new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; replacing old boilers and furnaces; sealing ducts; and installing photovoltaic solar panels. Proposed construction projects that are approved in early 2014 are likely to begin next summer.
Legislation passed in June 2013 outlines the details of how the grants will be allocated to California's K-12 schools and community colleges, and includes requirements to ensure the funds deliver expected energy and cost savings.
In the 2013-14 fiscal year, $464 million will be given out as follows:
- Local educational agencies (LEAs), which include county offices of education, school districts, charter schools, and state special schools, will receive $381 million for energy efficiency and clean energy projects.
- California community college districts will receive $47 million for energy efficiency and clean energy projects.
- The Energy Commission will receive $28 million for low-interest and no-interest revolving loans for eligible energy projects and technical assistance.
- The California Workforce Investment Board will receive $3 million to develop and implement a competitive grant program for eligible workforce training organizations to prepare disadvantaged youth, veterans, and others for employment in clean energy fields.
- The California Conservation Corps will receive $5 million from the Governor"s 2013-14 Budget to perform energy surveys and other energy conservation-related activities.
The Energy Commission will post the application form ("energy expenditure plan") and handbook to its website in early January 2014. Training sessions and webinars will be available to assist schools with this new process. The Commission will review and approve applicants" energy project proposals and, the California Department of Education (CDE) will award grant funding in spring of 2014. The CDE grant allocation is based on a formula that includes annual daily attendance and the number of students receiving free and reduced-price meals for the prior fiscal year.
The Energy Commission is collaborating on this effort with the California Department of Education, California Community Colleges Chancellor"s Office, California Public Utilities Commission, California Workforce Investment Board, the Division of the State Architect, and the California Conservation Corps.
The Energy Commission has also set up a toll-free hotline

The California Energy Commission is the state's primary energy policy and planning agency. Created by the Legislature in 1974 and located in Sacramento, six basic responsibilities guide the Energy Commission as it sets state energy policy: forecasting future energy needs; licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts or larger; promoting energy efficiency and conservation by setting the state's appliance and building efficiency standards; supporting public interest energy research that advances energy science and technology through research, development, and demonstration programs; developing renewable energy resources and alternative renewable energy technologies for buildings, industry and transportation; planning for and directing state response to energy emergencies.

The California Energy Commission unanimously approved revising the effective date for the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards from January 1, 2014 to July 1, 2014.
The revised effective date was approved for two reasons: 1) to enable the Energy Commission to release customized software that has a complete set of features and suite of tools that the building industry can use to comply with the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 1, Chapter 10 and Part 6, and affected provisions in Part 11 [Cal. Green Building Standards Code]); and 2) to provide the industry and local building departments more time to prepare for and become familiar with the Standards. The open source software is the most sophisticated to date, uses new advances in building analytics and will be significantly more accurate when calculating savings.
The Energy Commission will use the additional time to provide more information on the Standards and work with California's utilities, building industry and building departments to provide training on the software and new Standards. Implementing the Standards with software that is not fully functional puts property owners and the building industry in an untenable situation and could lead to delays in project design and permitting.
The public domain compliance software for residential buildings has been available since July 2013 and developers have been using it to comply with and exceed the new standards. The public domain compliance software for nonresidential buildings was released in September 2013.
The Energy Commission adopted the 2013 Standards on May 31, 2012, and the California Building Standards Commission approved them on January 23, 2013.
The California Building Standards Commission will consider this issue at their December 18 business meeting.

Greetings all,
The forms for certifying lighting control devices and permanently-installed LED luminaires and light engines to the new 2014 requirements are now available. Both certification packets are available here:
http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/database/forms_instructions_cert/Lighting_Products
Due to the change in regulatory requirements, all previously certified lighting controls and high-efficacy LEDs will become inactive on January 1, 2014. You will need to re-certify any products that are intended to remain on these lists after the first of the year. Note that centralized lighting control systems are no longer required to be certified, except where the control modules are able to independently act as discrete controls.
Staff are available to assist with any questions or to aid you in completing your product submittals. Please e-mail any questions or completed submittals to appliances@energy.ca.gov, and we will help you as swiftly as possible.

b. Transportation Natural Gas (13-01TNG)
i) Whole Energy Pacifica, Corte Madera, CA, Utilizing Glycerin to Produce Renewable Natural Gas for Transportation Use, Wahl, Martin, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of designing a skid-mounted biogas scrubbing system to assess the effectiveness of using glycerin to remove contaminants from raw biogas to produce biomethane. This skid-mounted biogas scrubber will utilize counter-flow absorption, replacing the water with glycerin. Glycerin used as a scrubbing solution can effectively remove hydrogen sulfide, water vapor, carbon dioxide and other contaminants found in raw biogas. If this project is successful, this technology has the potential to increase biomethane production by 10 percent annually.
c. Natural Gas (13-01G)
i) Altex Technologies Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, High Efficiency and Turndown and Low Power Ultra-low Emissions Burner, Kelly, John T., $94,877. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of fabricating a high efficiency and ultra-low emissions burner to meet emission requirements while increasing burner efficiency. This project will use a standard matrix burner and adds a supplementary partially premixed fuel/air injector at the downstream end of the burner to improve efficiency. In addition, this project will alter the supplementary burner output, and increase the turndown ability relative to ultra-low NOx burners.
ii) CHA Corporation, McClellan, CA, Cracking Raw Fuels for Hydrogen Stations Without Greenhouse Gas Emission, Cha, Chang, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of producing on-site hydrogen for hydrogen fueling stations using a single microwave reactor that combines desulfurization and hydrocarbon cracking to eliminate the emission of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants. This process is a way of efficiently and cost-effectively producing hydrogen from natural gas. If successful, this project will allow hydrogen stations to directly supply hydrogen to fuel cell electric vehicles without greenhouse gas emissions.
d. Electric (13-01E)
i) Paulsson, Inc., Van Nuys, CA, An Ultra-Compact Fiber-Optic Seismic Sensor for Geothermal Applications, Paulsson, Björn, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of using ultra-compact, fiber-optic seismic sensors to create a 3D image and monitor geothermal reservoirs. This project will design borehole seismic sensors that can operate at temperatures up to 300°C and pressures up to 30,000 psi in the corrosive environments found in geothermal wells. These fiber-optic based sensors can be attached to either the inside or outside of geothermal well casings, eliminating the need to drill a larger borehole when deploying the sensors. If successful, this project will allow for cost-effective long-term site characterization and monitoring studies at geothermal exploration sites.
ii) California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, Paintable Spectrally Selective Window Coatings for Efficient Cooling, Grubbs, Robert Howard, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of developing window coatings that selectively reflect solar thermal radiation to reduce energy cooling costs while maintaining visible light transparency for commercial and residential buildings. This project will use copolymer-based materials that are easy to apply and can be painted on as retrofittable window coatings to reflect infrared and UV light. If successful, this product will reduce an annual residential energy bill by nearly 20 cents per square foot of floor space.
iii) University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, Cloud Speed Sensor, Kleissl, Jan, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of a tripod-mounted Cloud Speed Sensor system to improve short-term solar power performance and variability forecast. This project will use a common solar sensor that provides instant measurement of direction and speed of passing, variable clouds and provide real-time measurement, enabling grid operators to respond quickly and efficiently to real-time changes in local cloud cover. If successful, this project will increase the accuracy of solar plant ramp rate predictions by 25 percent.
iv) Miami University, Oxford, OH, Using Patterned Surface Wettability for Improved Frosting/Defrosting Performance, Sommers, Andrew, $83,042. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of using different surface patterns and surface tension gradients to grow a thinner, denser frost layer on air conditioners to improve the defrosting performance. The goal of this project is to study the effect of frost build-up on the air-side surface of these systems and to examine the relative ability of various surfaces to improve the defrosting performance. Although the principal investigator is based in Ohio, over 80 percent of this project funding is with San Jose State University in San Jose, CA. If successful, this project will reduce California ratepayers' air-conditioner kWh consumption and it will save an estimated $100 per heat exchanger per year.
v) GridCom Technologies, Inc., Bakersfield, CA, Quantum-Protection System for Secure Grid Automation Communications, Earl, Duncan, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of a smart grid communications protection device that improves machine to machine communication encryption by using quantum key distribution to randomly generate encrypted keys. Quantum key distribution enables two parties to produce a shared random secret key known only to the parties that are communicating. This process enables a secure and more reliable authentication and encryption solution that overcomes the drawbacks and reduces the cost of conventional encryption processes.
vi) University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, Low Band Gap Antimony-Based Thermophotovoltaics Grown on Gallium Arsenide Substrates, Huffaker, Diana, $81,015. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of developing a more efficient thermophotovoltaic device that can convert waste heat into electricity. This project will explore using a lower cost material that has the potential to increase the conversion efficiency of the thermophotovoltaic cell.
vii) University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, Dampening System Oscillations Utilizing Phasor Measurement Units and Photovoltaic Inverters, Torre, William, $95,000. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of building and installing a control system interface with phasor measurement units (PMU) and photovoltaic inverters. This project will test and model grid dynamics using signal techniques applied to the PMU data and will identify the best approach for photovoltaic inverters to ease grid oscillation. If successful, this project will improve utility dispatch of electricity generation while accommodating increased penetration levels of photovoltaics.
viii) University of California, Davis, Western Cooling Efficiency Center, Davis, CA, Heat Pump Assisted Diurnal Heat Rejection System, Modera, Mark, $94,787. This project proposes to determine the feasibility of designing and constructing a residential conventional split air condenser with a water exchanger. This proposed project is a cost-effective residential retrofit that reduces and partially shifts cooling load to off-peak. The split system will take advantage of existing air conditioning components by operating the condensing section at a reduced temperature and moving air through the condenser and operating the exchanger section by replacing fan energy with an efficient process of pumping a small amount of water instead of a large amount of air. The project will determine the expected performance from this system under various weather conditions over the course of one year and determine energy saved and peak load shift when installed in various California climate zone!

A recent California Public Utilities Commission study concluded that the EnergyPro Residential Performance Module, which provides the calculation method used by CalRatePro, may over-estimate energy consumption as compared to actual energy bills in existing homes. The California Energy Commission reminds raters of the following:
- As required in the HERS Technical Manual, and as CalCERTS' training manuals indicate, Whole House Raters must compare CalRatePro energy consumption estimates to available utility bill data, and provide the Energy Consumption Analysis report to the homeowner showing the results of thecomparison.
(1) When CalRatePro energy consumption estimates differ significantly from utility bill data, the HERS rater should inform the homeowner of the difference. The HERS rater should interview the homeowner to understand how their use patterns may vary from the standard assumptions used by the software, and take those differences into consideration in making recommendations for energy efficiency improvements.
(2) When the software estimates show a variation of 30% or more from the energy bills, qualifying statements must be added to the recommendations page of the HERS report.(3) As an example, qualifying statements may take the following form: Home energy software estimates are based on typical occupancy patterns and thermostat settings, hot water use, appliance use, and other factors, which may be different than your household's use patterns. As a result consumers are cautioned that these software estimates may not match the household's actual energy savings. It's also possible that your energy use patterns may change after energy efficiency upgrades as household members adjust to new equipment and changed comfort conditions.
(1) Cal. Code Regs, Title 20, Section 1672(h); HERS Technical Manual (HTM), Section 5.4; see p. 14 in the CalCERTS Whole House Technical Manual.
(2) Cal. Code Regs, Title 20, Section 1672(i); HTM, Section 6.1; see p. 10 in the CalCERTS Whole House Technical Manual.
(3) Cal. Code Regs, Title 20, Section 1672(k); HTM, Sections 2.1.8, 6.9; see pp. 8, 10-11 in the CalCERTS Whole House Technical Manual.
For additional information about the use of CalRatePro to estimate energy consumption and conduct HERS Ratings, please contact CalCERTS at 916-985-3400.

California Energy Commission Considering New Appliance Efficiency Standards
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has released an “Invitation to Participate” to seek information from interested parties as it considers establishing minimum operating efficiency standards, test procedures, marking & labeling requirements, and other efficiency measures for the following appliance types: Consumer Electronics including computers, displays, game consoles, and set-top boxes. Lighting including fluorescent dimming ballasts, light-emitting diodes, and multifaceted reflector lamps. Docket #12-AAER-2B. And “Other Appliances” such as commercial clothes dryers, residential pool pumps & motors, and others.
The CEC is seeking a complete set of market data for each appliance type. This market data should cover every model available in California and include: brand name, model number, product sub-type, energy use performance metrics, product lifetime, retail price and annual shipments within California. This data will provide the CEC with a snapshot of the market for each appliance type identified in the invitation.
The commission will use this information to develop efficiency standards and measures. The Commission will conduct on-line meetings with interested parties to explain the process and the information sought during preliminary rulemaking activities during the period April 3-9. After the submission period for data has passed, the Commission will host workshops to discuss the merits of the information and will solicit proposals for new or updated efficiency standards and measures.
Dear Appliance Efficiency Stakeholder,

The Energy Commission has approved a compliance option for an alternative to the refrigerant charge temperature measurement access hole (TMAH) verification procedure.
California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards require that ducted split system central air conditioners and ducted split system heat pumps have the correct refrigerant charge to operate efficiently. This requirement applies to new and altered space cooling equipment installed in new or existing homes.
All air conditioners must be tested to insure they operate correctly and the building's certificate of occupancy cannot be granted by the building department until proper HERS verification of air conditioners is complete.
The approved compliance option allows HERS raters to use alternative procedures for verifying equipment operation when installation constraints prohibit using the TMAH procedure.
The alternative procedure can be obtained through the link below:

The Corrected Order Adopting Regulations and Directing Additional Rulemaking Activities - Appliance Efficiency Standards for Battery Chargers, is now available.
Due to an administrative error, the Order Adopting Regulations and Directing Additional Rulemaking Activities in this proceeding incorrectly stated that the adopted efficiency standards for small battery charger systems that are consumer products and for self-contained lighting controls applied to products manufactured on or after January 1, 2013. The correct date is February 1, 2013, as stated in the 15-day language, the hearing transcripts for the business meeting at which the regulations were adopted, and the express terms of the adopted regulations.

Dear Stakeholder: The Energy Commission recognizes that as a new standard becomes effective there are often common implementation questions about certification and the adopted regulations. The Energy Commission recently adopted regulations for battery charger systems and self-contained lighting controls. The Energy Commission is working to create a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document to aid in the implementation of these regulations. The Energy Commission requests stakeholder input regarding which questions would be useful to include in the FAQ. If you are interested in providing input to subjects addressed in the FAQ please e-mail appliances@energy.ca.gov and use "FAQ" as the subject line. The Commission will consider input received before or on February 29, 2012 in creating this initial FAQ. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Notice to Consider Adoption of Lead Commissioner Final 2011 Integrated Energy Policy Report As part of the Business Meeting to be held on February 8, 2012, the Energy Commission will consider adopting the Final 2011 Integrated Energy Policy Report (2011 IEPR). Wednesday, February 8, 2012 Beginning at 10 a.m. CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION 1516 Ninth Street First Floor, Hearing Room A Sacramento, California (Wheelchair Accessible) The Report and Notice of Adoption are posted on the Energy Commission website at: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2011_energypolicy/index.html Background Senate Bill 1389 (Bowen, Chapter 568, Statutes of 2002) requires the Energy Commission to adopt an integrated energy policy report every two years. The objective of the IEPR is to evaluate market trends and develop energy policies that will "conserve resources, protect the environment, ensure energy reliability, enhance the state's economy, and protect public health and safety." (Public Resources Code § 25301[a]). The Final 2011 IEPR has been prepared in response to this direction and is available on the website noted above. The Final 2011 IEPR discusses strategies for meeting Governor Jerry Brown's Clean Energy Jobs Plan and other state energy goals that will help build California's Clean Energy Future. The report provides recommendations to ensure reliable, affordable, and environmentally sound supplies of electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuels to meet the needs of the state's economy and growing population. To prepare the report, the Energy Commission conducted 30 public workshops throughout the 2011 IEPR proceeding on a range of issues facing California's electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel sectors.

Request for Proposals RFP-400-09-405 - for State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program The California Energy Commission has reissued this Request For Proposals (RFP 400-09-405) for the State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program. The purpose of this RFP is to select a qualified third-party rebate fulfillment company (â?oContractorâ?) to provide services that include accepting and processing the mail-in rebate applications received from the public, verifying and validating submitted claim materials, and transmitting electronic claim files for each eligible rebate claim to the State Controllerâ?Ts Office. This solicitation is a reissuance of a cancelled solicitation (#400-09-404), which has been modified to: (1) require that the Contractor and all subcontractors be incorporated in the United States or its territories; (2) require that the Contractor and all subcontractors perform all SEEARP-funded work in the United States or its territories; and (3) award a preference to California-based entities, as described in Attachment 5. Neither the Contractor nor its subcontractors may expend SEEARP funds for activities or expenses outside of the United States or its territories. The Contractor will be relied upon for its service and expertise with rebate programs and fraud prevention and detection. The scope of work listed in Part II of this RFP (Scope of Work and Deliverables) includes the specific tasks for which the Contractor will be responsible. For more information: http://www.energy.ca.gov/contracts/recovery.html#400-09-405 (If link above doesn't work, please copy entire link into your web browser's URL)
- There has been some confusion about yesterday's notice about cancellation of the Request For Proposals for rebate application processing for the State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program - also known as the Cash For Appliances Program.
ONLY the Request For Proposals (RFP # 400-09-404) was cancelled.
The California Cash For Appliances Rebate Program will begin as scheduled on April 22, 2010.
The cancelled RFP was to hire a company that will process the rebate applications. A problem with the original RFP was found, and that RFP and Notice of Proposed Award had to be cancelled.
A new RFP will be released today.
Once again, the California Cash For Appliances Rebate Program will begin as scheduled on April 22, 2010. Details about the program can be found at the web address below.
- Additional information, including the technical support documents are available at the following link on the DOE website.
