§ 16.17.080.  


Latest version.
  • Section 140.1 of the 2019 California Energy Code is amended to read as follows:
    A newly constructed All-Electric Building complies with the performance approach if the energy budget calculated for the proposed design building under Subsection (b) is no greater than the energy budget calculated for the Standard Design Building under Subsection (a).
    A newly constructed Mixed-Fuel Building complies with the performance approach if the energy budget calculated for the proposed design building under Subsection (b) has a compliance margin, relative to the energy budget calculated for the Standard Design Building under Subsection (a), of at least the value specified for the corresponding occupancy type in Table 140.1-A below.

    (a) Energy Budget for the Standard Design Building. The energy budget for the Standard Design Building is determined by applying the mandatory and prescriptive requirements to the proposed design building. The energy budget is the sum of the TDV energy for space-conditioning, indoor lighting, mechanical ventilation, service water heating, and covered process loads.
    (b) Energy Budget for the Proposed Design Building. The energy budget for a proposed design building is determined by calculating the TDV energy for the proposed design building. The energy budget is the sum of the TDV energy for space-conditioning, indoor lighting, mechanical ventilation and service water heating and covered process loads.
    (c) Calculation of Energy Budget. The TDV energy for both the Standard Design Building and the proposed design building shall be computed by Compliance Software certified for this use by the Commission. The processes for Compliance Software approval by the Commission are documented in the ACM Approval Manual.
    (d) Certificate of Compliance. The Certificate of Compliance shall be prepared and signed by a Certified Energy Analyst and the energy budget for the Proposed Design shall be no greater than the Standard Design Building.
