Objective

Question: What process does an innovative idea go through to become an approved measure with savings? Answer: The real world example of Codes & Standards

slide-3
SLIDE 3

What Could be a Part of Codes and Standards?

  • Compliance

support: Base and Stretch code

  • Appliance

standards Support

  • Stretch code

‘Design” support MA chose one to start.

History of Codes and Standards in Massachusetts

2009 2009

  • Residential

electric metric to build off of 2008 GCA statute requirement

2010 2010

  • NMR study finds

that codes and standards savings could be 21-31% of planned budgets for 4 measures within the initiative!

2011-2012 2011-2012

  • PA planning with

stakeholders

  • Heshong Mahone

Group (now part of TRC Solutions)

  • Language in 2013-

2015 plan

2013 - 2015 2013 - 2015

  • CSG (now

CLEAResult) – trainings

  • Savings for 2016-2018

with DOER and Consultants

Evaluations throughout the entire process

The Importance of Energy Codes

According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy:

Energy codes are saving more than 40%-45% compared to the codes of a decade ago

California

  • Started Codes and Standards

efforts in the 1990s

  • 2006 – 2008: The electric

savings from C&S programs in California represent 60% of all savings from investor-owned utility programs

  • At the time, CA was the only
  • ne to take credit.
  • Today, CA estimates that ½ of

their portfolio electric savings will come from codes and standards efforts.

Other States

and many more started to join…

The Problem and How to Address It

  • Problem: Less than 100% compliance with the

base energy code

  • Forward Path: Educate and provide resources

so that the energy code is known and understood

Why are the PAs Involved?

  • Code training mandated by 2008 Green Communities Act
  • DOER provided training on 2009 IECC and stretch code

from 2009-2012

  • PAs took over training on the 2012 IECC in 2014
  • New strategy for future portfolio savings
  • PAs are the enablers and NOT the enforcers

Code Compliance Rates

  • Residential compliance 63% at beginning of 2009 IECC

cycle; 76% compliance at the end of the 2006 IECC

  • cycle. (Both used PNNL method)
  • 2012 study / Commercial compliance 80% using

mixture of 2006 IECC and 2009 IECC permitted buildings

  • 2014 study / Commercial compliance 82% for 2006

IECC; 76% for beginning of 2009 IECC; 85% at the end

  • f 2009 IECC (all used PNNL method)

Code Compliance Rates

  • 2014 study also used an alternative approach called

“Massachusetts Commercial and Industrial Evaluation Contract Methodology” (MA-CIEC)

  • Awards partial credit for partial compliance with code

requirements

  • 2014 study / Commercial compliance using MA-CIEC

was 93% at the end of the 2009 IECC

Code Compliance Support Initiative (CCSI) in MA

  • RFP Issued in late 2013
  • RFP Awarded to Conservation Services Group (now

CLEAResult)

  • CCSI Begins: April 1, 2014
  • First official classroom training occurred September 23,

2014

  • CCSI initial contract ends: December 31, 2016

MA Energy Codes

  • 2012 IECC with MA amendments effective

July 1, 2014

  • Next code version is 2015 IECC for possible MA

adoption as early as July 1, 2016; concurrency period through December 31, 2016.

  • Existing stretch code effective with 2009 IECC
  • Expected new stretch code to coincide with 2015

IECC

  • The CCSI will need to adjust to new energy code

trends such as increased building testing, renewables and outcome-based codes
