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

Requirements for a Successful Code Change
● To be included in the base code, a measure must:● Be cost-effective
● based on the standards-induced additional first cost, maintenance costs, measure life, and energy cost savings
● according to the Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) life-cycle costing methodology and weather data to be provided by the California Energy Commission
● Be possible to implement using equipment that is readily available from multiple providers
● Or that is reasonably expected to be available following the code change

11CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM
Types of Code Change
● Mandatory Measure: The change would add or modify a mandatory measure
● Mandatory measures must be satisfied whether the prescriptive or performance method is used to show compliance
● Prescriptive Requirement: The change would add or modify a prescriptive requirement that must be met when using prescriptive compliance approach
● When using performance compliance (computer modeling), prescriptive requirements define a standard design (which sets the energy budget) and are not mandatory
05/10/2010CA Utilities 2011 Title 24 Stakeholder Meeting for Proposed Code Changes
12CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE UTILITIES CODES AND STANDARDS PROGRAM
Types of Code Change – Ctd.
● Compliance Option: The change would add or modify a new measure to the list of existing compliance options for meeting the Standards using the performance approach.
● Modeling: The change would modify the calculation procedures or assumptions used in making performance calculations.
● This change would not add a compliance option or a new requirement, but would affect the way that trade-offs are made.

● Higher efficiencies● Absorption chillers unchanged
● Two options for chiller compliance:● Path A (intended for constant speed chillers)
● Higher COP (full load) and Higher IPLV (part load) than now

● Greater range of non-standard operating conditions over which the chiller efficiency requirements apply
● Replaced non-standard tables with an equation
● 52% more chillers now covered
● Air-cooled chillers without condensers must be rated with matching condensers and comply with the air-cooled chiller efficiency requirements
● Reciprocating units must comply with water cooled positive displacement efficiency requirements

Proposal 2 – Direct Replacement of Hood Exhaust Air Limitation: Rationale
● AGA and CEC have shown direct supply greater than 10% of hood exhaust in Short-circuit Hoods significantly reduces Capture and Containment (C&C)
● Poor C&C does not remove cooking heat and smoke from kitchen
● Exhaust rates generally higher to offset poor C&C
● Higher exhaust fan energy
● Higher Exhaust rates increase Room Makeup Air rates
● Higher MUA fan and conditioning energy

Proposal 3 – Conditioned Makeup Air Limitations: Code Statement
Mechanically cooled or heated makeup air delivered
to any space with a kitchen hood shall not exceed the
hood exhaust flow minus the available transfer air
from adjacent spaces.
− Available transfer air is that portion of outdoor ventilation
air serving adjacent spaces not required to satisfy other
exhaust needs, such as restrooms, not required to
maintain pressurization of adjacent spaces, and that would
otherwise be relieved from the building.

Proposal 3 – Conditioned Makeup Air Limitations: Rationale
● Supplying conditioned makeup air when transfer air is available is a wasteful design practice and should be prohibited.
● Using available transfer air saves energy and reduces the first cost of the kitchen makeup unit and the exhaust system in the adjacent spaces.
● This version differs from the 90.1 version in that it may require a recirculating heat/cool unit rather
than a 100% OA heat/cool MAU

● No requirements in Title 24
● 2001 CA Building Code – explicitly allowed Garage DCV
● 8 hr average CO < 50 ppm
● In 2007 CA switched building codes and Garage DCV not explicitly allowed
● We are working with IAPMO to allow in UMC
● It is explicitly allowed in IMC (used in other states)
● Garage DCV required in Oregon, Washington, etc.
● ASHRAE 90.1 Proposal:

Typical Practice
● Most new garages have DCV with CO
● Generally sold with a maintenance program
● Some sensors turn themselves off after 2 years if not calibrated
● Many existing garages are constant volume
● Many of these have arbitrary fan schedules
● e.g. fans operate from 7am to 9am and from 4pm to 6pm
● Note that when garage fans are turned off stack effect sucks garage air into the building above

● CO sensors use electrochemical and solid state sensors that have
been used in critical life safety and industrial applications for
over 60 years (e.g. mines)
● Not same technology as CO2 sensors
● Recent study of 26 sensors in garages showed ~5% drift/yr after
2 years
● UL conducted a study on residential sensors over a period of four
years. Overall they found the sensors to be very reliable
(residential sensors must meet UL Std 2034)
● Garages use an array of sensors and control to the highest signal
so failure of a single sensor has little risk
● Sensor failure defaults to full ventilation mode
