• Outdoor Lighting Controls (Including Bi-level controls)

  Expand existing requirement that outdoor lighting be equipped with motion controls that dim lighting when area is unoccupied to cover additional spaces including fueling stations and auto sales lots. Revise allowed wattage reduction during unoccupied periods from 80% to 90%.

• Nonresidential Outdoor Lighting Power Allowance

  Update the lighting power allowance requirements so they are based on LEDs as opposed to pulse start metal halides.

• Thermally Driven Cooling

  Proposes adding a compliance options for the absorption chillers, adsorption chillers, and desiccant systems that would be available when using he performance approach. Recommends rulesets to add to the nonresidential compliance software.

• CALGreen Commercial Kitchens

  The proposed code change would add a mandatory water efficiency requirement for food waste disposers in commercial buildings. The proposed requirement limits disposer water use to no more than 8 gallons per minute (gpm) and requires that disposers either modulate the use of water...

• CALGreen Indoor Domestic Water Use

  The proposed code change would update the existing mandatory efficiency requirements for lavatory faucets in residential buildings. The existing mandatory CALGreen standard requires a maximum flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 pounds per square inch (psi) ...

• Nonresidential Minimum Skylight Area

  The primary focus of this report is to reinstate the minimum skylight area requirement to section 140.3(c) while maintaining the overall simplicity of showing compliance. During the 2013 standards development there was an agreement that the calculation of effective aperture as an alternative method ...

• Nonresidential Lighting Clarification and Controls

  This CASE report provides the rationale for the adoption of the following changes to the California building efficiency standards which simplifies, clarifies and provides compliance credit for inexpensive and effective control strategies. Section 100.1 A definition of “initial design illuminance” is added ...

• Nonresidential Direct Digital Controls

  The Direct Digital Control (DDC) measure would require DDC systems for certain building applications that are currently not required by Title 24, Part 6. By expanding the scope of applications requiring DDC, energy management data would be more readily available allowing for more efficient systems ...

• Nonresidential Fan Efficiency Grades

  This fan efficiency measure will propose using a new metric known as the Fan Efficiency grade (FEG), a metric adopted by ASHRAE and created by the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA). The fan efficiency measure will require a minimum FEG of 67, and the total efficiency of the fan ...

• ASHRAE Escalator and Moving Walkway Speed Control

  The Escalator and Moving Walkway Speed Control measure would require escalators and moving walkways to automatically slow down to the minimum permitted speed in accordance with ASME A17.1/CSA B44: Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, or applicable local code...

• Nonresidential Lighting Controls: Partial-ON Occupancy Sensors

  The existing lighting controls in Title 24, Part 6 do not require partial-ON lighting controls. There is an existing power adjustment factor (PAF) in Table 140.6-A that provides an adjustment to the lighting power (LPD) for spaces that include a partial-ON control approach (0.20 factor) ...

• Nonresidential HVAC Economizer Modifications

  This 2013 Title 24 prescriptively requires that economizers be installed on cooling fan systems with cooling capacity equal to or greater than 54,000 Btu/h. A mandatory control requirement for economizers on air-cooled unitary direct expansion systems is a Fault Detection and Diagnostic (FDD) system ...

• Nonresidential Indoor Lighting Power Densities (LPDs)

  This indoor light power densities (LPDs) measure revises the lighting power allowances assigned in Tables 140.6-B, 140.6-C, 140.6-D, and 140.6-G to adjust the values to be comparable in energy efficiency to the levels presented in ASHRAE 90.1. This proposal results in modifications to Sections 140.6 of ...

• ASHRAE Nonresidential Lighting Controls

  The Lighting Power Densities (LPD) in Title 24, Part 6 are subject to change as new technologies (in particular, light source technologies that increase lamp efficacy) become available to the market. As a result, the LPD values continue to be revised downward over time in response to these technological ...

• Nonresidential HVAC/Water Equipment Efficiencies

  The purpose of this measure is to update mandatory efficiency requirements for space conditioning equipment that appear in Tables 110.2-A thru K so the minimum equipment efficiency values are as stringent as the minimum efficiency requirements in ASHRAE 90.1-2013. Not every efficiency value listed ...
