BACKGROUND
The San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Partnership Grant Program adopted on
September 19, 2006 challenges staff to provide energy efficiency services for City,
commercial and residential facilities through December 31,2008,
In an effort to provide energy saving design inputs for the Wakeland affordable residential
and Creekside Vistas mixed-use developments in western Chula Vista, staff is seeking to
contract with the National Energy Center for Sustainable Communities (NECSe) and the Gas
4-1

Page 2 of 4
Technology Institute (GTI). NECSC and GTI will analyze the energy, economic and
environmental impacts of both planned and alternative building design options, for these
developments. The implementation of designs based upon these research findings will result
in more energy efficient developments in western Chula Vista and reduce energy costs for
residents of those developments, as mandated under the SDG&E Energy Partnership Grant
Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines,
therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not
subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
The Chula Vista City Council adopt the resolution approving the agreements between the
City of Chula Vista and the Gas Technology Institute for the provision of analyzing
energy, economic and environmental impacts of both planned and alternative building
design options for the Wakeland Affordable Housing Project and the Creekside Vistas
Mixed-Use Residential Project, and authorizing the Mayor to execute the agreements.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Since March of 2006, staff has been working with the National Energy Center for
Sustainable Communities (NECSC) to advance responsible use of energy reSOl)fces
through the planning efforts of three master-planned developments in eastern Chula Vista.
Today, staff is requesting approval of two agreements with GTI, a partner of the NECSC,
which will extend these efforts to infill projects in western Chula Vista. These planning
efforts are intended to accelerate the integration of renewable resources and cleaner, more
efficient energy technologies and strategies into local commercial and residential
development projects, resulting in more energy efficient developments and reduced energy
costs for residents of those developments.
In addition to the immediate benefits developed for the Wakeland and Creekside Vistas
projects, the GTI recommendations will set a precedent for high quality energy efficient
types of construction that can be provided throughout the City at a reasonable cost.
The two development projects identified to become models for energy efficiency are as
follows:

Wakeland Affordable Housing Project
Wakeland is interested in developing approximately 40 units for an affordable, family
rental project on the fOrmer Tower Lodge Motel site located at 1501 Broadway within the
Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area.
The proposed project will benefit the surrounding area by providing residential units,
which will serve primarily large families (3 bedroom units). and extremely low and very
low-income households (30 to 50 percent of the AMI), meeting the City's critical needs for
very low income housing.
Wakeland has significant experience in developing in-fill affordable housing in
redevelopment areas such as a 74-unit project ("Lillian Place") in the East Village .and
("Town Square Row Homes") a 6-unit, for-sale project in downtown National City.
Wakeland is well qualified, and has demonstrated their desire and commitment to partner
with the City and Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation, to develop a project that meets
the City's affordable housing objectives, and to work cooperatively with the public in the
design of the project. For more information regarding the proposed development site,
please refer to Exhibit A, attached.
Creekside Vistas Mixed-Use Residential Project
The Douglas Wilson Companies have received approvals to develop a mixed-use
residential project on a vacant 5.5-acre site located at 912-944 Third Avenue. The project
proposes construction of 167 multi-family residential units and 3,793 square feet of
commercial/retail space. The Creekside Vista project represents the first significant urban
infill project to occur in western Chula Vista since adoption of the General Plan
The proposed project will benefit the surrounding area by ensuring that housing supply
will accommodate future population growth, providing entry-level housing to first-time
homebuyers, creating open space amenities and street level retail, and by eradicating a
homeless camp that has been established on the property.
The Douglas Wilson Company has significant experience in developing in-fill mixed-use
projects in redevelopment areas such as The Mark, a $155 million full block, mixed-use
development located in Downtown San Diego's East Village neighborhood, one block
from the San Diego Padres Petco Park. The project includes a 33-story tower with 233
condominium units, ground floor retail space, and approximately 450 subterranean parking
spaces. Additionally, The Douglas Wilson Companies was the managing general partner
for the development of Symphony Towers, a 1.2-million-square-foot, two-tower hotel and
office complex that includes a 34-story office building with 530,000 square feet of rentable
space, a 264-room Marriott Suites Hotel, a five-level parking structure and the 2,255-seat
Copley Symphony Hall. The project was built for $165 million in 1989 and is the largest
private mixed-used project in downtown San Diego.
The Douglas Wilson Company is well qualified and has demonstrated their desire and
commitment to partner with the City and Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation, to
develop a project that meets the City's redevelopment objectives, and to work
4-3
cooperatively with the public in the design of the project. For more information regarding
the proposed development site, please refer to Exhibit B, attached.
Objective and Approach
The objective of the proposed research project is to analyze energy, economic and
environmental impacts of both planned and alternative building design options for the
redevelopment sites. This project approach will entail modeling building envelope energy
losses, internal loads, and space conditioning and ventilation for the planned residential
structures. The modeling will consider 8,760 hour-by-hour measurements representing
seasonal and time of day consumption of five types of energy including:
. Electricity;
. Natural Gas;
. Cooling;
. Heating;
. Domestic Hot Water
California's Title-24, 2005 residential building energy-efficiency standard will serve as the
baseline for modeling minimum requirements for building energy efficiency. The software
tools that will be used to conduct this analysis will include:
. Building Energy Analyzer™ (BEA), - a product developed by GTI;
. Energy-! OTM - a product developed by the Sustainable Building Industry Council
BEA will be used to model energy, economic and environmental parameters for larger
structures (multiple single family units) and Energy-!OTM will be used to model details of
individual single family residential building floor plans.
This project is in line with the City's and the NECSC's desired objective of conducting
applied research that examines technological, economic, social and institutional barriers
that prevent the use of existing energy-efficient technologies, materials and management
practices that produce solutions to those barriers.
The ultimate goal for the City and SDG&E, our private sector partner, is more energy
efficient developments and reduced energy costs for residents of those developments.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this
action.
FISCAL IMP ACT
Energy research funds in the amount of $137,014 ($55,839 for Wakeland; $83,957 for
Creekside) have been appropriated for these agreements in the City's Conservation Fund
under the San Diego Gas & Electric Energy Partnership Grant Program, as approved and
adopted on December 12, 2006, for costs associated with the scope of work. There will be
no impact to the City's General Fund.

7. General Duties:
Consultant will analyze energy, economic and environmental impacts of both planned and
alternative building design options for the Chula Vista/Wakeland redevelopment site.
8. Scope of Work and Schedule:
A. Detailed Scope of Work:
GTI proposes to a scope of work (SOW) consisting of five interdependent tasks;
Task 1.
Development of Research Methodology
GTI will prepare a research methodology document that will include all assumptions and
features to be modeled in the Wakeland affordable housing project. This document will
include specific details of the modeling approach and will itemize the Title-24'05 compliant
prescriptive building features as well as alternative energy-efficient (EE) materials,
equipment and control measures and their assumed installed costs. Economic assumptions for
Life Cycle Costs (LCC) or Return on Investment (ROI) will also be included along with all
applicable utility rate structures. Once a draft of the methodology document is produced, it
will be discussed in detail with Wakeland personnel and City officials and modified as
appropriate to ensure accuracy before any actual modeling is conducted. .
Task 2. Development of Title-24'OS Prescriptive Baseline Load Profiles
Using GTI's Building Energy Analyzer™ and Energy-IOTM modeling tools, and the
modeling assumption developed and approved in Task 1, GTI will develop 8,760 hour-by-
hour load profiles for baseline models ofT-24'05 compliant prototypical buildingslfloor
plans similar to those planned for the Wakeland affordable housing project. These will
include electric consumption (kW), natural gas consumption (Btu), domestic hot water
energy usage (Btu) and cooling and heating loads (Btu)[may want to delete last sentence as it
duplicated information previously provided]. Based on the local utility rates/schedules,
monthly and annual electric and gas utility costs will be calculated for the building(s) as well.
It is assumed that the developer will provide GTI with the site layout, floor plans and
elevations, as well as other building construction details necessary to model the buildings.
Additionally and if available, the developer will provide GTI with the T -24 compliance
calculations generated for similar buildings that will serve as the prototypes for the modeling
effort.
Task 3. Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Alternatives
The baseline models developed in Task 2 will be modified to enable subsequent modeling of
the economic and environmental impact of using 12 alternative EE building materials and
equipment configurations. Each of these configurations will enhance the Title-24'05
prescriptive building requirements. The alternative configurations include:
Page 17
4-24
1. An energy-efficient glazing alternative
2. Improved envelope insulation (roof, walls)
3. EE 1 & 2 combined
4. Energy efficient lighting
5. EE 1 & 2 & 4 combined
6. High efficiency cooling
7. High efficiency heating, domestic hot water
8. EE 5 & 6 & 7 combined
9. EnergyStar appliances
10. EE 8 & 9 combined
11. Photovoltaics array (where applicable, will assume net metering unless advised
otherwise)
12. EE 10 & 11 combined
Impacts ofEE measures will be analyzed by comparing electric consumption (kW), natural
gas consumption (Btu), domestic hot water energy usage (Btu) and cooling and heating loads
(Btu) with that of the baseline designs analyzed in Task 2. The annual electric and gas utility
costs will be calculated and compared with the baseline design as well. In addition, based on
the utility cost savings and the first/installed cost of EE measures LCC, or ROI will be
calculated. Environmental impacts will be evaluated based on reduction of Greenhouse Gas
Emissions resulting from reduced consumption of electricity and natural gas.
Task 4. Presentations and Reviews of EE Alternatives Impact
Task 4 will include the preparation and delivery of preliminary research finding to Wakeland
personnel and to City officials and the participation in discussions necessary to reach fmal
research conclusions. WebEx Internet-based visual presentations and teleconferences will be
used as standard means of communication with all proj ect participants
Task 5. Reporting and Management
Activities in Task 5 cover preparation of the fmal report and include formulation of the fmal
design recommendations for the Wakeland affordable housing project as well as results of
any additional modeling that may be needed to address issues identified in Task 4.

7. General Duties:
Consultant will analyze energy, economic and environmental impacts of both planned and
alternative building design options for the Chula Vista/Creekside Vistas redevelopment site.
8. Scope of Work and Schedule:
A. Detailed Scope of Work:
GTI proposes to a scope of work (SOW) consisting of five interdependent tasks;
Task 1.
Development of Research Methodology
GTI will prepare a research methodology document that will include all assumptions and
features to be modeled in the Creekside Vistas mixed-use housing project. This document
will include specific details of the modeling approach and will itemize the Title-24'05
compliant prescriptive building features as well as alternative energy-efficient (EE)
materials, equipment and control measures and their assumed installed costs. Economic
assumptions for Life Cycle Costs (LCe) or Return on Investment (ROI) will also be included
along with all applicable utility rate structures. Once a draft of the methodology document is
produced, it will be discussed in detail with Douglas Wilson Companies personnel and City
officials and modified as appropriate to ensure accuracy before any actual modeling is
conducted.
Task 2. Development of Title-24'05 Prescriptive Baseline Load Profiles
Using GTI's Building Energy Analyzer™ and Energy-10™ modeling tools, and the
modeling assumption developed and approved in Task I, GTI will develop 8,760 hour-by-
hour load profiles for baseline models ofT-24'05 compliant prototypical buildingslfloor
plans similar to those planned for the Creekside Vistas mixed-use housing project. These will
include electric consumption (kW), natural gas consumption (Btu), domestic hot water
energy usage (Btu) and cooling and heating loads (Btu)[may want to delete last sentence as it
duplicated information previously provided]. Based on the local utility rates/schedules,
monthly and annual electric and gas utility costs will be calculated for the building(s) as well.
It is assumed that the developer will provide GTI with the site layout, floor plans and
elevations, as well as other building construction details necessary to model the buildings.
Additionally and if available, the developer will provide GTI with the T-24 compliance
calculations generated for similar buildings that will serve as the prototypes for the modeling
effort.
Task 3. Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Alternatives
The baseline models developed in Task 2 will be modified to enable subsequent modeling of
the economic and environmental impact of using 12 alternative EE building materials and
equipment configurations. Each of these configurations will enhance the Title-24'05
prescriptive building requirements. The alternative configurations include;
4-52
Page 17
I. An energy-efficient glazing alternative
2. Improved envelope insulation (roof, walls)
3. EE I & 2 combined
4. Energy efficient lighting
5. I & 2 & 4 combined
6. High efficiency cooling
7. High efficiency heating, domestic hot water
8. EE 5 & 6 & 7 combined
9. EnergyStar appliances
10. EE 8 & 9 combined
II. Photovoltaics array (where applicable, will assume net metering unless advised
otherwise)
12. EE 10 & II combined
