I. Reach Code Introductory Slides • What are Reach Codes • Benefits • Model Code Summary • Partners for project • Timeline 3
What are Reach Codes? • Local enhancements to state code • Adopted with current building code cycle • Current PCE initiative aimed at improved economic and energy performance • Addresses: 1. Building electrification – reduced use of natural gas (methane) and associated emissions 2. Electric vehicle (EV) charging – increased EV readiness 4
Benefits of Reach Codes • Major economic value for residents now and prevents expensive future retrofits • Safer and healthier homes – no combustion • Enables greater EV adoption • Fiscal prudence – more cost effective to address at new construction • Advance climate goals 5
Model Code Summary Code Element Approach Building Electrification • • Provides 2 tracks for developers: All-Electric or Mixed-Fuel All-Electric (preferred) is less expensive, delivers more benefit Mixed-Fuel allows natural gas but has higher efficiency requirements Details vary by building segment • • • Provides “plug and play” access to vehicle charging Single family: Level 2 (dryer outlet power) and Level 1 (standard 110 v outlet) Multi-unit dwellings: one “EV Ready” space per unit* Office: 10% Level 2, 10% Level 1, and 30% EV Capable Other Commercial: 6% Level 2 installed and 5% Level 1 installed Electric Vehicle Readiness PCE will provide funding support for affordable housing to address EV measures 6
Project Partners • Lead consultant • Technical support • Facilitation support • Regional partner • Cost benefit approvals 7

Reach Code Timeline Date/Timeframe Dec. 2018 January February March April 11 and 24 April & May 15 -May June Activity PCE, SVCE and County of San Mateo initiate reach code initiative Reach Code kickoff event for city staff Statewide Cost-Effectiveness study Building Reach Code Workshops Draft Model Reach Codes Measures available City-specific stakeholder engagements Last input into model code measures Model reach code language shared June through August Outreach and adoption technical assistance July through October City Councils vote on desired reach codes (depends on City’s workplan) August through October January 1, 2020 -2022 Submit Code Packet for CEC approval Potential for reach code to go into effect at the same time as state code update Opportunities to adopt reach code throughout three year code cycle, PCE and County to provide training and support for code implementation 9
Guiding Principles for Reach Codes • Preserve a low cost compliance option to minimize impact on construction costs • Encourage development of healthier, safer, lower emission buildings • Reflect the values of our community o Leaders in EV, solar and battery adoption rates nationwide 10
Key Terms All-Electric - buildings using electricity for space and water heating systems Mixed Fuel – buildings using natural gas for space and water heating systems Compliance Margin – how much more energy efficient than code minimum can be done in a cost effective manner, typically expressed as a percentage (e. g. 5% compliance margin) Performance Pathway – exceed code by a certain compliance margin using CEC-approved modeling software (e. g. 5%) Prescriptive Pathway – exceed code by including a list of specific cost-effective measures (e. g. drain heat recovery or batteries), see appendix for examples. Climate Zone – San Mateo county is located within Climate Zone 3. Santa Clara county is mostly Climate Zone 4, with a small portion in Climate Zone 3. 11

2019 State Code Basics (Title 24 Chapter 6)
What’s already included in the 2019 Code • Prewiring of all homes for future electric heat water heater Performance • Solar PV sized to cover the electric Compliance loads associated with a mixed-fuel Margin home Solar • Use of Energy Design Rating (EDR) Photovoltaics for all residential energy models (PV) • A minimum quantity, level, and Installation readiness of EV charging infrastructure for residential, multi- Electric-ready family, and non-residential building types. Residential Energy Design Rating (EDR) Non-Res Percentage Sized to offset annual k. Wh consumption of mixed-fuel 120 V/20 A for future electric water heater installation n/a
What is EDR? • In California codes have shifted from what was being called zero net energy to the Energy Design Rating, or “EDR”. EDR allows for a range of energy performance, rather than simply targeting zero, as in Zero Net Energy. • The EDR measurement is the sum of an efficiency score and an overall score. The efficiency score is based on measures such as insulation, windows, and envelope efficiency. The overall score factors in things like onsite renewable energy and fuel sources. • A building with a score of zero (or less) has maximized energy efficiency and most likely added on-site renewable generation such as rooftop solar. • An EDR of Zero is equal to Zero Net Energy or Zero Energy. Zero or less is most easily achieved by an allelectric building design. A higher EDR score would indicate a less efficient building. 19
