AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OP CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHAPTER 15,260F THE
CRULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING smrION 15.26.030, INCREASED
ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS
SUBMITTED BY: Building Official
On July 10, 200&,Councilapproved-Resolution No. 2009177 m which Co no cit adopted the
-
Implementation Plana for the Climate Change Working Croup (CCWG) measures, Measure 4 4,
Green Building Standards, consists eI several components, one of which is the adoption of
hiscreassured energy efficiency standards requiring residential and nonresidential buildings to be
more energy effiolent than the Sons mandated building energy ofitcieney, standards. The
proposed ordinance amends tine City's Energy Code add adopts Increased energy efficiency,
standards.
RECOMMENDATION: Re meramend In City Council the adoption of tine ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The City has been a leader in climate protection policies and programs designed to reddee
greenhouse gas emissions. Through his Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan, did City committed itseifto
redwing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% below 1990 levels. The City's 2005 GHG
eartissiones inventory indicated that:mndel citywide GHG levels had increased by 35% since 1990
due primarily to residential growth. As a result, the City Council diewhol staff to convene a
Climate Change Womin; Group (CCWG) to develop recommendations to add to the City's
existing Carbon Dioxide Reduetiou Plan and its portfolio of programs which would further reduce
the (rmmrmity's 1peerhouse gas emissions. On April I, 2008, City Council adopted the CCWG
sieven reeoounendatidns and directed MIT to return to Council with detailed Implementation plans.
On July 10, 2008, Council approved Resolution No. 2008-197 in which Council adopted the
implementation plans for the CCWG moderates and apiroved partial implementation of the
nuisance based on fending levels. Measure 4 4, Greed Building Sluudands, codais4 of several
components one of which is the adoption of increased onergy efficiency slandmds wilding
eaidential and mrresidcntial buildings to be more energy efficient than the Stop mandated
building, energyefficiency standards. The purposed ordinance amends the City's Energy Code FvIC
Chapter 15.26) end odopm increased energy efficiency standards.
Increased energy efficiency standards will reduce the rapid growth in demand for electricity
which in turn will reduce the need for new generation, transmission and distribution facilities,
and will reduce the risk of power shortage. Emthernme, it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions
which will help mitigate the causes and effects of global etlmatc change and improve air and

aurum quality by reducing emissions firm wing mid acid rein forming pollntauts. Saving energy
will economically benefit residents and businesses by reducing the rate of increase for energy
prices and by reducing energy bills.
'Ihe initial Implementation plan for Measure p 4 proposed mandating new and retrofit residential
and nonresidential projects to achieve carbon savings equivalent to exceediug current Sto
Standards (05 Standards) by at least 15%. As staff worked on the details of the program, sniff
realized that establishing a carbon savings benchmark as a means of complianeo is almost of its
time and concluded that it will result in a program that is more complex thou it needs to be For
the purpose of simplifying the program, while at the dame time achieving an equivalent level of
energy savings, stall proposed to only reform projects as demonstrate that they have exceeded
the 2008 Building Energy efficiency Surrounds (08 Standards) by a specific percentage. This
compliance method iscon cletent with the structure, format and calculation methods of the
California eocrgy efficiency Standards end is simple and clear for the building industry to
understand and staff to enforce. In addition, stuff proposed m offer an energy credit option for
building construction within Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan project auras where developers
dan meet a portion of the increased energy efficiency requirements through community site
esign measured.

The 08 Standards, minimum standards mandated by the State, will take effect on January 1, 2010.
The 08 Standard are about 15% m 20% more stnhgeat thza Ne current Standards. Increased
standard of 15% and 20% above the 08 Standards are about 30% to 40% above the current
Standards

'Iho City falls within two climate zones (CZ); CZ 7 and CZ 10. The majority of the City fells
within the mild CZ 7, and about 20%, the most cussedly part of the City, Who witirin lire harsher
CZ 10, Attachment B, Climate Zones coup, delineates the two CZs.
connnerA n acrA cr+nelarAa
'Ile proposed Ordinance requires new residential and nomssiderdial construction to be mom
energy efficient than the Oft Standards as follows:
CZ 7: New residential had nonresidential projects that fall within CZ 7 most be at least 15%
more energy efficient than the 08 Standards,
CZ 10: Now low-rise residential projects (three -stories or Tess) that fill within CZ 10 must be at
least 20% 'note energy efficient than the 08 Standards, and new mnrcsidemlal, high-rise
residential or hotel/motel projects that fall within CZ 10 must be at least l51s more
energy efficient than Ne 08 Standards.
In both climate zones, low-rise residential additions, remodels or alterations that are less than or
equal to 1,000 square feet, and nonresidential, high-rise residential or hotellmmel additions,
remodels or ahasfions that are less than or equal to 10,000 square feet, are exempt from the
increased energy efficiency standards.

r, Timm Rvergr,
In older for Ne City to adopt and enforce increased building energy efficiency standards, the City
must submit an application to the California Energy Commission (CEC) and obtain approval
before the increased standards area take effect The application submittal must include (1) The
proposed standards as adopted by Council, (2) A study with supporting analysis showing Imw Ne
City determined energy savings, (3) A sediment Nat the proposed standards will require
buildings to be designed to consume no more energy Nan permitted by the State Building P gy
Efficiency standards, and (4) The basis of Ne City's determination that the proposed standards
arc cost effective. the determination that the standards are cost effective will need to be adapted
by Council at a public hearing. After City Council place the proposed OrNnan ce on first reading
staff will submit the application to tare CEC for [heir review and approval. After CEC approval,
staff will bring the Ordinance to City Council for second reading and adoption. The CRC review
and approval process can take up to three months.
(AsCoffictresimnStudly
In older to meet the CEC requirements, Ne City, with help flown San Diego Gas and Electric
(SDG&E), hired an energy consultant, Gable Associates, LLC (consult t), to perforin the
required cost effectiveness analysis. The analysis is included as Attempted C.
The analysis is performed by using CEC approved software to compare life cycle costs with the
estimated cost savings to be achieved by complying with the proposed stda ix It is a limited
study and is not intended to determine the macro -effects of any specific policy decisions. The
study easily ed exceeding the 08 Standards by 10%, 15% and 20% for low-rlse residential, high-
rise and von-msdential projects. It took into account the two CZs the City falls
wit; CZ 7 and CZ 10. The combinadon of energy efficiency men days used in the case studies
to reach To various thresholds were based on the consultant's experience and professional
judgment and not on a comprehensive analysis of all possible computations of energy efficiency
measures. The table below shows the average incremental cost and the arrange simple payback
period for the added energy measures as determined floor the case studies_

Incremental costs depend on the energy elbcicnry features used by the designannuilder to
achieve compliance. Arry one building can achieve compliance in a number of ways aM
thore£ore, Ne coat of complimwcan vary. Similarly, paybaeks depend on the specific selection
of energy measures, how they perform in a pacific building design in a particular climate Zone,
and what the First costs me for those measures.
As stated in the study, "A set of emsgy measures is generally considered cost effective if the
payback is less than the average useful life of those measorae. ru residential construction, for
ro mple, most energy measures will typically last at least 15 years, and most will not function
beyond 30 years Se energy measures with apaybaek of method 15 years or less would usually be
coseffective, and a payback beyond 30 years usually would not. Paybacks; between 15 and 30
Years may be coseffective depending oil the weighted average useful life of the measures
seleu4dY the useful life of insolation is about 50 years, for windows and doors is about 20
yeses, fin air beating/000ling units Is about 18 yeas and for domestic water healers is about 14
years.

Chart 1 for CZ 7 shows the payback period for low-risemulb-family for she 15% level to be over
die30-year lino, whereas fon the 20%level, the payback period is closer todue l5-yearline , This
gives the notion that, in general, for low rise multi -family in CZ 7, the 20% level is more cost
effective than the 15% level, winch is not the case. For the 20% level, the consultant introduced
domertmeous trackless gas hot water heaters, a readily available but not a standard measure,
instead of simply increasing the efficiency of stmdard measures sued as insulation or standard
hot water heaters. noconsultantcould have introduced the m atantaneous mankless gas hot waar
heaters at the 15% level and the payback period for the 15% level would have been close to or
below the I5 -year lino making the 15% level more cost effective than the 20% level. This
emphasizes what was previously noted that the combination of energy efficiency measures used
in the case studies to much the various Wresholds do not represent a comprehensive analysis of
all possible combinations ofevergy efficiency measures or the most teal effective combination.

The consultant recommended exempting law -rise residential additions, remodels or alterations that
are less than or equal to 1,000 square fvroS and high rise residential and momresmood al additions,
remodels or alterations that are less than or equal in 10,000 square feet. Based on flu consultant's
experience, small additions tend to have look payback periods especially if they have to pgadethe
painting house to get the addition le meet the increased standards. It ports mora to mplaoc or
organic an existing component bun simply heading a more energy efficient one in a new
building. In addition, Che incremental cost is a larger percentage of the overall production cost for
a small chip don ban a large addition.
Furthermore, requiring the increased smindauis on these types of project, takes away be
prescriptive compliance option which is comedy available to permit applicants. Tho proscriptive
option is a simple prepackaged option where all new or slipped components will need to meed
predetermined requirements. Typically, this option does not require the involvement of our energy

I he proposed Ordinance includes an energy credit option fru building construction within Sectional
Plarding Area (SPA) Plan project arrow whose SPA is approved subsequent to the effrefive date of
the proposed Ordinance. Under this option, tier developer may meet a portion of the increased
lemBY efficiency standard, provided the SPA Plan has satisfied be qualifying angry savings
thresholds for community design and site plunning features established in the SPA's approved Air

applicant may request and receive an energy savings credit towards a portion of the iuceamd
standards subject to approval by the Director of Development Services and subject to applicable
guideline, in effect at the time of the request for credit. This option Ordinariness energy savings

1.0 Executive Summary
Gabel Associates has researched and reviewed the feasibility and energy cost-
effectiveness of permit applicants exceeding the state's 2008 Building Energy Efficiency
Standards. which take effect January 1, 2010, in order to meet the minimum energy -
efficiency requirements of a proposed Chula Vista Ordinance. The study contained in
this report shall be included in Chula Vista's application to the California Energy
Commission which must meet the requirements specified In Section 10-106 of the
California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 1. LOCALLY ADOPTED ENERGY
STANDARDS. The proposed Chula Vista ordinance shall be enforceable after the
Commission has reviewed and approved the local energy standards as meeting all
requirements of Section 10-106', and the Ordinance has been filed with the Building
Standards Commission.
Case studies of several building designs were used to consider the cosscfiectiveness of
exceeding she 2008 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards in the two California
climate zones within Chula Vista, Zones ] and 10. The case studies have been used to
consider the following questions for common building types in each climate zone.
• What set of energy measures are needed to just meet the 2008 Standards? And
what sets of additional measures are needed to reduce the standard TDV energy
in KBtu/sf-yr by 10% 15% and 20% for low-rise residential buildings', and by 10%
for high-rise residential and nonresidential buildings.
• What is the moremental (added) construction cost of tine various sets of energy
measures? And what are those costs per square foot?
• Mat is the annual energy saving in each case study? Mat is the annual energy
cost saving for each scenario?
What is the Simple Payback for the added energy measures?
• What is the CO2 -equivalent reduction In emissions from each scenario (Ib /sf-yr)?
• What level or levels of energy efficiency that exceed the 2008 Standard appear
cost-effective in these climate zones?

2.0 Impacts of the New Ordinance
Energy performance impacts of the Ordinance have been evaluated using several case
studies which reflect a broad range of building types covered by the Ordinance.
Two single family homes
A low-rise multi -family building
A high-rise residential building
A nonresidential (office) building
Overall Case Study Method
The methodology used in these case studies is based on the way that real buildings are
designed and evaluated in just meeting or exceeding the energy standards.
(a) Each building tlesign is tested for compliance with the 2008 Standards. The
energy measures chosen are not all the prescriptive measures, but are a
combination of measures which reflects how designersbuilders and developers
are likely to achieve a specified level of performance. For single family home
designs, all four caminal orientations are run to find Ne worst-case scenario for
this step and in step (b) below.
(b) Starting with a 2008 Standards minimally compliant set of measures, various
items are changed to just reach the next increment of energy performance hag,
10%, 15% and 20% better than Title 24). In this study, the design choices are
based on many years of experience with architects, mechanical engineers and
builders as well general knowledge of the relative incremental costs of most
measures.
(c) A minimum and maximum range of incremental costs of added energy measures
is established by a variety of research means. Site energy in KWh and Therms is
calculated for each run to establish the annual energy savings, energy cost
savings and CO2 -equivalent reductions in greenhouse gases.
(d) Different metrics are generated to illustrate different aspects of cost-effectiveness
by building type and climate zone.
The goal of these case studies is to provide relatively real-world order -of -magnitude
results for local jurisdictions attempting to understand and calibrate energy and cost
impacts of local energy ominances or local green building eminences. In this limited
study, no attempt has been made to gather statistically signifcant data that can be
applied to all new construction projects and thereby determine the macro -effects of
specific policy decisions.

2,7 Single Family House Case Studies
House Designs. Atypical single family home design is modeled to just meet the overall
TDV energy performance requirements of 2008 Title 24 standards using a 2008
Standards research version of Micropas. Incremental improvements to building energy
efficiency measures then are made to reduce TDV energy to:
(a) 10% less than the 2008 standards;
(b) 15% less than the 2008 standards; and,
(c) 20% less than the 2008 standards.
The following measures were first evaluated so that the house design just meets the
2008 standards in each climate zone.

Enemy Measures Needed to Exceed the 2008 Standards
Under two different scenarios, (A) and (8), the following energy features have been
modified from the above Ti0e 24 set of measures so that the proposed design uses 10%,
15% and 20% less TDV energy than the 2008 standards. The added first cost of that
measure compared with the equivalent 2008 Title 24 design measure is listed to the right,
and the sum of all incremental costs is listed.

3.0 Cost Effectiveness
The fables in this section are based upon the following:
Incremental site electricity (kWh) and natural gas (therms) saved per year as
calculated using the state -approved energy compliance software:
• Average utility rates for residential buildings: $0 187IkWh for electricity and
$1.14/therm for natural gas (In constant dollars), for nonresidential buildings:
$0.194/kWh for electricity and $0.944/therm for natural gas (in constant dollars)
• The assumption that there Is no change (I a-, no inflation or deflation) In utility rates in
constant dollars over time
The assumption that there is no increase In summer temperatures even though most
scientific studies predid that global climate change will increase temperatures in the
Western U.S. which will increase air conditioning energy use
Simple Payback includes neither the cost of financing nor any external cost
associated with global climate change
A set of energy measures is generally considered cost-effectiveness if the payback is
less than the average useful life of those measures. In residential construction, for
example, most energy measures will typically last at least 15 years, and most will not
function beyond 30 years. So energy measures with a payback of around 15 years or
less would usually be cast -effective, and a payback beyond 30 years usually would not.
Paybacks between 15 and 30 years may be costeRective depending on the weighted
average useful life of the measures selected.
Also note that paybacks depend on the specific selection of energy measures, how they
perform in a specific building design in a pedicular climate zone, and what the first casts
are for those measures. The data summarized here is intended to be only illustrative, not
comprehensive or definitive, in demonstrating the scale of typical results and the
variability of results depending on the selection of energy measures and assumed first
costs.

4.0 Policy Recommendations
Performance vs. Prescriptive Approach
While some local energy ordinances have in rare instances provided prescriptive options
for local nonresidential envelope and lighting energy requirements, the performance
approach has been implemented in all local ordinances for residential and nonresidential
buildings as the most effective and cost-effective way to achieve higher levels of building
energy efficiency. Rather than selecting specific energy measures as required, It is better
to have the building industry determine how to reach energy equivalence with the+
required efficiency level using the performance method. This is the approach used in a
large variety of applications such as.
• Utility incentive programs
• State tax credits for solar PV systems (NSHP program)
• GreenPcint Rated green building system
• LEED green building system
• Local energy ordinances
• Muff -family affordable housing federal tax credits
• Energy Star homes
• Federal energy efficiency tax credits
• HERS Phase 2 for Existing and New Homes (2010)
Conversely, we strongly recommend against a local ordinance including. required
prescriptive measures that can be modeled in the performance method.
Cenffied Energy Plans Examiners (CEPEal
The California Association of Building Energy Consultants (CABEC) sponsors and
administers the Gedified Energy Plans Examiner (CEPS) program for the Residential and
Nonresidential Standards. CEPE candidates must pass an examination to demonstrate
knowledge of the applicable standards. Starting in 2009, they must also agree to share
electronic files with authorized enforcement personnel.
We recommend that local ordinances include a requirement within the commerce or
administratively require that the energy analysis and documentation either be prepared
by an individual with the current applicable CEPE credential or that the Title 24 report be
plan checked by a CEPE.
