2
CA Green Building Code
3
California Green Building Standards Code - CALGREEN Presentation Goals – Agencies that Developed the CalGreen Code – How the CalGreen Code was Developed – Items Contained in the CalGreen Code – Code Advisory Committees – Local Government Ordinances – Future of the CalGreen Code
4
California Green Building Standards Code -CALGREEN Agencies that Developed the CalGreen Code – The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) – Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) – Division of the State Architect (DSA) – California Building Standards Commission (CBSC)
5
California Green Building Standards Code -CALGREEN How the CalGreen Code was Developed – Resources reviewed in developing green building standards Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Globes UC Berkeley Green Building Baseline Draft ASHRAE Standard 189P State agencies
6
California Green Building Standards Code -CALGREEN Sustainable Building Task Force – Established by Executive Order D-16-00 Green Building Action Team – Established by Executive Order S-20-04 CBSC’s and HCD’s Green Building Focus Group – Building officials – Representatives from the construction industry – Representatives from international building code writing bodies – Representatives from the environmental community – State agency representatives
7
California Green Building Standards Code -CALGREEN Items Contained in the CalGreen Code – Subject areas addressed in the standards Planning and design Energy conservation Water efficiency Materials usage efficiency Indoor environmental quality
8
California Building Standards Commission Code Advisory Committees – Code Advisory Committees advise commission and staff on proposed building standards – Six Committees – Green Building Committee
9
California Green Building Standards Code -CALGREEN Local Government Ordinances – Local governments may make more stringent modifications to the California Building Standards Code, which includes the CalGreen Code – Justification for making local modifications Climate Topography Geology
10
California Green Building Standards Code -CALGREEN Future of the CalGreen Code – Optional standards initially—effective August 1, 2009 – Mandatory level - 2010 – Tier 1 – Tier 2 – Separation of residential and non-residential – Optional measures in Appendices
11
LEED for New Construction All buildings designed & built LEED Silver or better Energy savings avg. 14% to 50% > Title 24. Other Benefits – Water savings – Waste recycling – Improved indoor air quality Challenges – ~ 40 projects suspended due to state budget challenges
12
State Outreach & LEED Training Green CA Task Force formed Jan. 2009 – 30 agencies participating, covering multiple initiatives – LinkedIn “Green California” Group formed LEED Training – 375 State professionals LEED trained 2007-08 – 24 LEED AP’s (30 more testing in June) – Current LEED trainings underway now Updated LEED Training for 2009 version Webcast “live” and archived @ www.dgs.ca.gov/LEEDtrainingwww.dgs.ca.gov/LEEDtraining
13
Retro-commissioning Program All state-owned buildings > 50,000 sq.ft. RCx on a 5-year cycle; Goal - 8% savings Phase I – 25 projects: – Continuing to avg. 10% verified electrical savings for measures implemented with avg. payback < 3 yrs. – Avg. projected electricity savings for measures yet to be implemented approx. 14% with avg. payback approx. 4 yrs. – Avg. projected Nat Gas savings - 16% Phase II – 18 projects: – Investigation reports starting to come in – CEC/PIER Program – ENFORMA Building Diagnostics installed in 6 buildings Phase III – 13 projects: – Consultant contracts expected to be executed July 1, 2009 – All buildings to have ENFORMA installed Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment
14
Retrofit Program Implement cost effective efficiency retrofits – goal: 12% savings State of CA / Investor-Owned Utilities Partnership – Currently in “Bridge Period”; 2009-2011 cycle under CPUC review – Enhanced incentives to improve margins for performance contracting or buy-down costs to fit existing budgets Statewide ESCO Contract – 1 st two RFP’s combined into one project; contract virtually ready for signature – Current challenge: Ability to get a GS $MART loan due to the credit markets Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment – ESCO model – Fund Investment Grade Audits (IGA’s) – Non-ESCO model – Leverage funding to support the investigation and design of aggressive energy efficiency projects at large facilities
15
Small Building Retrofit Model Buildings < 50,000 s.f. make up 2/3 of state-owned office space State/IOU Partnership has developed the roadmap and toolkit for success! – Rooftop package unit tune-up program – New HVAC technologies – Duct sealing – Load shifting to off-peak usage – Lighting upgrades (LED; wireless, dimmable controls; Personal Lighting Systems) – Vending machines; Exit signs – Resource monitoring Track usage Monitor and optimally maintain building systems Calculate GHG emissions State agency partners ready to go (DMV, CHP, DPR, DWR, DOT, MIL, DPH) Current challenges – Utility agreements – Sustainable funding mechanism needed for front-end investment – Revolving account needed to fully leverage incentives We can reach our goals, but it will take Executive-level support
16
LEED-EB: Operations & Maintenance Sustainable Facilities
