• Advanced Daylighting Design

  The proposed measure will allow Power Adjustment Factors (PAFs)* and performance compliance options (PCOs) for indoor lighting that are controlled by daylighting controls when certain technologies are installed in the proposed building. The PAFs and PCOs may be applied to any nonresidential building ...

• Hybrid Condensers

  A refrigeration system component that condenses refrigerant vapor by rejecting heat to air mechanically circulated over its heat transfer surface, causing a temperature rise in the air, with the additional capability to utilize evaporative precooling of the entering air, for operation only during high ambient ...

• Demand Response Language Clean-Up

  The objective of this code change proposal is to clean up and clarify the existing demand response (DR) requirements so that all sections of the standards use consistent terminology and approach. The goal is to improve comprehension of and compliance with the existing requirements ...

• Nonresidential Loading Dock Seals

  The proposed measure adds a mandatory requirement for loading docks to be equipped with dock seals or shelters. Dock seals and shelters are designed to eliminate the gap between a truck trailer and the interior of a loading bay. Dock seals typically consist of foam with vinyl covering that is installed ...

• High Efficiency Fume Hoods

  The High Efficiency Fume Hoods in Laboratory Spaces measure is a prescriptive requirement for the installation of automatic sash closure systems for vertical sash laboratory fume hoods with variable air volume HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. This measure will apply to new ...

• Induction Exhaust Fan Control

  Laboratories and process facilities require specially designed exhaust systems that allow for safe release and dispersion of harmful chemicals into the ambient outdoor environment. The performance of laboratory and process facility exhaust is highly dependent on exhaust stack design and fan specification ...

• Nonresidential Indoor Air Quality

  This measure proposes revising Title 24, Part 6 requirements using a combination of the requirements in Title 24, Part 4 (California Mechanical Code) and ASHRAE 62.1-2016: Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. The ventilation requirements in 2016 Title 24, Part 4 are based on ...

• Nonresidential Economizer Fault Detection Diagnostics (FDD) Requirements

  This CASE Report proposes expanding the existing mandatory code language in Section 120.2(i), which requires economizer fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) for nonresidential packaged and split air handling HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems greater than 54,000 Btu/hr (4.5 tons) ...

• Nonresidential Cooling Tower Minimum Efficiency

  The CASE Report proposes a prescriptive requirement for higher efficiency axial fan open-circuit cooling towers for newly constructed projects, new systems that serve additions, and non building mounted replacements/alterations. The current 2016 Title 24, Part 6 Standards’ mandatory minimum efficiency for ...

• Proposal Based on ASHRAE 90.1

  This report includes the Statewide CASE Team’s recommendations to adopt requirements included in ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2016 -- Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low Rise Residential Buildings (ASHRAE 90.1-2016) in Title 24, Part 6. The Statewide CASE Team recommends ...

• Lighting Alterations

  Lighting retrofit projects that increase lighting power result in higher energy use in buildings. These projects should demonstrate that retrofitted areas can meet LPA and should be subject to the lighting alteration code. Also, requiring projects that increase lighting power to comply with ...

• Indoor Lighting Controls

  This measure proposes to require nonresidential automatic daylight dimming controls to include the OFF step to align with ASHRAE 90.1-2016. The proposed daylighting dimming plus OFF control step will be mandatory and apply to the luminaires in the Primary Sidelit Daylit Zone and Skylit Daylit Zone ...

• Outdoor Lighting Controls

  The objectives of this CASE Report are to propose code changes that clarify and streamline requirements, update definitions, and broaden the existing mandatory outdoor lighting controls requirements. While the proposed code language offers simplifications, it includes all the major requirements ...

• Outdoor Lighting Sources

  This proposed code change is an update to lighting power allowances (LPAs) for all outdoor applications. It saves energy by extending the use of high efficacy light emitting diode (LED) technology as the basis for LPA calculations for all outdoor areas (Table 140.7-A and Table 140.7-B), which reduces LPAs ...

• Indoor Lighting Sources

  This proposal updates the allowed lighting power density (LPD) values (watts of lighting per square foot of room floor area) for indoor lighting to reflect the increased efficacy and increased optical control associated with light emitting diode (LED) technology ...
