compliance and public reporting

• Resources on: auditing & commissioning programs, rebates

& incentives, financing options, on-site renewable energy generation, fuel-switching, cleaner electricity, paybacks &

• ther benefits

TITLE 24 AND REACH CODES FOR DECARBONIZATION

Alice Zanmiller, Sustainability Planner, Marin County

COUNTY OF MARIN GREEN BUILDING REACH CODE

RICAPS

Alice Zanmiller, Planner, County of Marin Sustainability Team June 24th, 2018

LOCAL HISTORY & TIMELINE

• 2005: Single Family Dwelling Energy Efficiency

Ordinance

• 2010: Marin Green Building, Energy Retrofit, &

Solar Transformation (BERST) process

• November 2016: Adoption of 2016 Title 24 standards,

including maintenance update of previous reach code

• March 2018: County BOS adopts updated green

building standards

• April 2018: New green building code implementation

begins

• June 2018 (anticipated): Full implementation of

energy efficiency standards begins (large single family ZNE, multifamily and commercial new construction)

REASONS FOR UPDATE

CLARITY

• Project specific handouts
• Clearer language
• Fewer tiers, only square footage
• Updated website

FLEXIBILITY

• Performance Standard
• Multiple compliance options for

both EE and green building

• Agnostic towards rating system

SUSTAINABILITY

• Emphasis on all electric buildings
• Near ZNE standards for new large

homes >4,000 square feet

CONSISTENCY

• Working with other jurisdictions to

adopt new standards (ongoing)

ENERGY EFFICIENCY – Single Family

• New Single Family <4,000 square feet: Kept Tier 1, but added additional

compliance options to incentivize all-electric homes

• New Single Family 4,000 square feet and greater:

– Mixed Fuel: 35% beyond baseline and EDR of 20 or less; OR; – All-Electric: 20% beyond baseline and 2.5kW of solar; OR; – Passive House

PV COMPLIANCE CREDIT

• 15%
• 8.6%
• 11.4%
• 25%
• 20%
• 15%
• 10%
• 5%

0%

No PV PV All Electric

% More Energy Efficient than State Standards

CZ 2, Single Family Home

% to be met through efficiency measures % met by PV Compliance Credit 0% = CALGreen (State Baseline)

ENERGY EFFICIENCY – Multifamily

• No existing energy efficiency requirement – these are still pending CEC

approval (anticipated mid-June).

• 3 Stories or Less

– Mixed Fuel & 10% beyond baseline OR; – Mixed Fuel + Solar & 15% beyond baseline OR; – All-electric at baseline

• 4 Stories or More

– Mixed Fuel & 10% beyond baseline OR; – All-electric at baseline

ENERGY EFFICIENCY – Commercial

• No existing energy efficiency requirement – these are still pending CEC

approval (anticipated mid-June).

• All new commercial projects

– Mixed Fuel & 10% beyond baseline OR; – All-electric at baseline

GREEN BUILDING

• Changed to center around CALGreen, rather than Green Point Rated or

LEED (but kept both as options)

• All new buildings require CALGreen Tier 1 or equivalent GPR/LEED

achievement

• Residential additions + remodels <750 square feet don’t trigger additional

requirements beyond state

• Commercial additions + remodels <3,000 square feet don’t trigger

additional requirements beyond state

• All projects above these size thresholds trigger CALGreen Tier 1 (minus

additional energy efficiency requirements)

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

• Single family residential – all new projects &

remodels altering the main service panel must comply with CALGreen EV Readiness requirements

• Multifamily & Commercial New Construction:
• Originally proposed 10% EV Ready and 10% EV

Capable, but Board requested 100% EV Capable.

• This proposal was accepted, but with a 20% cap on

service panel capacity for parking spaces, and triggers for remodels that provide a nexus with the project scope.

LESSONS LEARNED & NEXT STEPS

• Stakeholder engagement
• Existing buildings remain a challenge

– BAAQMD Grant – Ongoing energy efficiency programs – “New” Construction thresholds

• Working with other jurisdictions to encourage adoption.
• Will begin to revisit reach codes for next cycle as cost-effectiveness

studies become available.

Codes and Standards

Joint effort of Bay Area local governments to support the development and implementation of tools, best practices, trainings, and policies for accelerating compliance with, and exceeding, the California energy code.

Codes and Standards

Two Broad Areas of Effort

• Compliance Improvement: Investigate

areas for improvement in code enforcement processes & offer solutions

• Policy: Share best practices & develop

regional resources for going above code

Codes and Standards

ZNE Services and Resources

• Residential ZNE for New Construction Training (60-90 min): This intermediate-level

course will introduce ZNE fundamentals and practices that are the basis of ZNE projects

• Municipal ZNE RFP and OPR Template Language: Request for proposal (RFP) and owner

project requirements (OPR) template language for local governments to encourage developers to construct new municipal buildings to ZNE, and enable jurisdictions to value and monitor ZNE goals from project design to end construction

• Technical Assistance: No-cost engineering analysis to afford local governments with the

necessary ground-work analysis to understand cost-effectiveness of ZNE in municipal building types and demonstrate ZNE policy feasibility for municipal building portfolios.
