Reviewed by: Arash Kialashaki Date Review Completed/Issued: 02/05/2018 Summary City of San Rafael proposed to build a new Public Safety Center (PSC) in San Rafael, CA, which is in climate zone 2. The facility will be the Police Station for San Rafael Police Department (SRPD) and a new replacement Fire Station No 51 for San Rafael Fire Department (SRFD). The total area of the proposed building is 44,000 sqft, approximately. This new construction project involves measures from mechanical and electrical equipment and building envelope and is part of the Savings By Design program. Whole Building Approach is used for the calculations of the involved measures in the new building. Specifically, the energy savings of this project will be achieved as result of installing the following energy efficiency measures: Construction of effectively-insolated envelope including exterior walls and roof Installation of high-efficiency lighting system by installation of LED Luminaire Installation of high-efficiency domestic hot water system For more information about the included measures, please refer to the submitted energy efficiency report (document titled "PRJ -00990854_Energy Efficiency Report.pdf'). History of communication between the PG&E Customer Representative, PG&E Engineer, and customer was submitted on EI. A meeting was held between customer, PG&E, and design team to discuss Savings by Design program eligibility, maximize on incentives offered, documentation process. For more information, please refer to the following email communications and meeting notes: PRJ -00990854_Energy Efficiency Report.pdf RE New Local PGE Rep -San Rafael-04262016.msg RE FTP Site Set-up -SREF -Drawings for FS 52 57 SBD Info! .msg PGE intro.msg FW Eco-Charrette.msg History of communication was reviewed, and no sign of free ridership was detected at the pre- installation review. Lighting: The proposed measure is to install high efficiency lighting systems including LED fixtures. Interior luminaire schedule was provided by the customer, which outlines the manufacturer, model number, and technical specifications of the proposed fixtures in page 6 of the document titled "PRJ -00990854_Elec Plans.pdf'. The provided EnergyPro models are built based on the quantity and wattage of the proposed fixtures in each of the interior spaces of the building. Reviewer sampled and verified the quantity and wattage of the proposed fixtures in the following interior spaces: Document date: 02/05/2018 Booking Interview 018 , Bicycle Storage 038, Interview Soft 151, Investigation Lieutenant 143, Investigation Lieutenant 143, Interview 107, Deputy Fire Chief 182, Main Lobby 100. Since the quantity and wattage of the proposed fixtures in the sampled area matched the provided electrical plans, reviewer approved the inputs of the lighting system in the submitted EnergyPro model. To verify the proposed wattage for the lighting system at the new building, reviewer sampled the following fixtures and compared their proposed wattage with the manufacturer specification sheets: AI: LITHONIA 2BLT 48L ADP EZ1 45 LP840 LATC B1: LITHONIA 2GTL 4 48L EZ1 LP840 C1: LITHONIA STL4 48L EZ1 LP840 Dl: LITHONIA LDN6 40 15 L06 AR LSS E 1: LITHONIA IBGN 18000LM SEF AFL PI: KENALL SCA 4 0 1 45640K DCC 1 The technical specifications of the proposed luminaire match the manufacturer specification sheets provided by the reviewer: "PRJ-00990854 LightingSpecsheet-PRE .zip". Final quantity, type, and wattage of the lighting fixtures will be verified at the post-installation stage by using the manufacturer specification sheets for the installed luminaire. HVAC: The proposed building will be served by a high-efficiency VRF system. Based on the PG&E customized Rulebook V1.3 , "VRF systems in SBD may be included only for the purposes of setting the incentive rate in the compliance run, but must be modeled as neutral for the whole building savings claim." The proposed HVAC units were changed to neutrali ze the energy savings of the VRF system .

Reviewer verified and confirmed the inputs of the Document date: 02/05/2018 EnergyPro model in the construction assemblies section by reviewing the architectural plans : "PSC Architectural DD Drawings 11_21 _20 16.pdf'. Domestic Hot Water The table below outlines the specification of the proposed DHW system to serve the new Public Safety Center based on the submitted plumbing plans "PRJ -00990854_Plum Plans .pdf': Tag Manufacturer Model Gas/Electric Input Storage Capacity WH-l Loch inv ar SNR 15l Gas 15 0MBH 90 Gal WH -2 Loch in var SNR1 5 l Gas 150 MBH 90 Gal The EnergyPro model inputs for the DHW system match the manufacturer specification sheet of the units: SWH-03.pdf During the pre-install review process, it was found that the schedule of the building HVAC and lighting system in the EnergyPro model was not reasonable for the proposed building type. For instance, the proposed heating and cooling setpoints of the interior spaces was entered as 95F for all year. In addition, no load factor was considered for the proposed lighting system at the building as it was proposed that all lights will be operating 2417 round the year. Reviewer changed the proposed operation of the building HV AC and lighting systems to Title 24 prescribed operation for the building type by changing the schedule input in the EnergyPro model to "Undefined". At the post-install stage , the operating hours and HV AC setpoints of the building will be verified by site inspection observation and reviewing the building EMS, if available. Analysis The project is submitted in the Savings By D esign program. As explained above , the Public Safety Center consists of San Rafael Police Department and Fire Station No 51 for San Rafael Fire Department. The energy savings calculations in this SBD project were done using the Whole Building approach and energy modeling was done in EnergyPro 6. Although the energy efficiency report (document titled "PRJ -00990854_Energy Efficiency Report.pdf ') stated that the EnergyPro 6 .7 was used to simulate the energy savings of the project, by reviewing the submitted UTIL-l reports and date of Title 24 compliance documents, reviewer found that the applicable baseline is 2013 Title 24 Standards and EnergyPro 6.8 should be used to generate the compliance margin and energy savings. Following changes were made in the EnergyPro model of the building to make it compatible with the Savings By Design guidelines, building construction plans, and expected operation of the proposed building: 1-The submitted model was built in EnergyPro 6.8 .0.1 and showed the compliance margin of 16.0%. To adopt the most updated version of the EnergyPro which still uses the sam e baseline, the model was run in EnergyPro 6.8.0.3. After this change, the compliance margin was decreased to 15.9%. 2-The proposed building will be served by a VRF system. Based on the PG&E Rulebook , VRF systems in SBD may be included only for the purposes of setting the incentive rate in the compliance run , but must be modeled as neutral for the whole building savings Document date: 02/05/2018 claim. The VRF system in the submitted model was defined as a series of split system. It was found that this methodology was not the best modeling strategy to neutralize the energy savings of VRF system. In the review process, the split units in the submitted model were changed to "undefined" systems. By making this change, EnergyPro will incorporate the Title 24 prescribed auto-sized HV AC units with minimum allowable energy efficiency and excludes the energy savings of these units. After this change, the compliance margin increased to 26.2%. 3-In addition to the VRF system, the customer proposed to install three unit-heaters. These units were modeled as split units in the submitted model and their efficiency was not matching with the provided manufacturer specification sheet. Necessary changes were made in the model during the review process. These changes did not change the compliance margin. For more information, please refer to the manufacturer specification sheet of the proposed unit-heaters: UDAS_TechData.pdf 4-Finally, reviewer noticed that the submitted report shows significant negative energy usage of the cooling system of the baseline building. This negative energy usage and unjustified energy savings from the lighting system was found to be results of incorrect schedules and set points, especially for the heating and cooling set points and lighting system. Therefore, the assigned schedules and set points of all building systems, including HVAC and lighting systems, were changed to "undefined". By making this change, the EnergyPro will automatically incorporate the schedules and set points of Title 24 for each assigned occupancy. These changes did not change the compliance margin. The final energy savings of the project will be defined at the post-install review stage based on the actual operating hours, load factors, and set points of the facility. For more information, please refer to the following EnergyPro models and reports: Submitted EnergyPro model and report: PRJ -00990854_Bldg Model.bld PSC_SBD UTIL-1.pdf Approved EnergyPro model and report: PRJ-00990854_Bldg Model-PRE.bld PRJ-00990854 UTIL-1Report-PRE.pdf Incremental Measure Cost The incremental measure cost (IMC) for this project is estimated by the design team in the energy efficiency report. Total IMC for this project is $1,718,089.00 and includes the incremental cost of the high efficiency lighting fixtures, VRF systems, and proposed insulation. The cost of proposed VRF system was excluded from the total IMC since installation of the VRF system was not an approved measure in this Savings By Design project. The table below outlines the submitted and approved IMC for the new Public Safety Center at the pre-installation stage: Item number Description Submitted IMC Approved IMC 1 HV AC System (VRF) $1,511,705.00 - 2 Increased Roof Insulation $52,498.00 $52,498.00 3 Low U-Value Glazing vs. Prescriptive $47,980.00 $47,980.00 4 Increased Exterior Wall Insulation $105,906.00 $105,906.00 Sum $1 ,718 ,089.00 $206,384.00 Document date: 02/05/2018 Based on the "Savings By Design 2017 Participants Handbook", the customer incentive is limited to 100% of the incremental costs associated with efficiency upgrades with a maximum project cap of$150,000.00. The OA approved incentive is less than the incremental cost, and is not cost capped. For more information about the cost analysis of the project, please refer to the submitted energy efficiency report. Savings & Incentives The reviewer used NR SBD Performance calculation mode in the EnergyPro 6.8.0.3 software to calculate the savings and incentive for this project. The submitted energy reports were generated using EnergyPro 6.8.0.1. The simulation of the approved model resulted in compliance margin of 35.0%, energy savings of 112,547 kWh, and 11.50 kW and 2,749 therms with a gross incentive of$43,867.45. The project is not cost-capped at 100% of the IMC. The approved incremental measure cost was calculated by the reviewer to $206,384.00. The customer submitted savings were 1,201 therms with a gross incentive of $1,201.00. The reasons for the difference between the customer's submitted savings and the OA approved values are explained in the calculation methodology above. It is important to note that per Savings By Design Program Manager's guidance, the energy usage of the receptacle load was excluded from the compliance margin calculations. For more information regarding the energy savings and incentive calculations, please refer to the spreadsheet calculation titled "PRJ-00990854 SavingsCalculations-PRE.xlsx". The table below shows the summary of the energy savings and incentives for this project: First-Year Energy Savings Estimated % Below Peak Power Incremental Energy Efficient Reduction Electricity Gas Measure Cost Title-24 Measures kW kWh/yr therms $ % Customer submitted Model 0.00 0.00 1,201 $1,718,089.00 14.9% OA Approved Model 11 .50 112 ,547 .00 2 ,751 $2 06,384 .00 35.0% PG&E Incentive Amount Based on Based Only Based Only on Total Total Incentives Peak Power on Energy Energy Rates Uncapped Capped Reduction Rates Rate ($/kW) ($/kWh) ($/therms) Incentive Incentive Customer submitted Model $0 .00 $0.00 $1,201.00 $1,201.00 $1,201.00 OA Approved Model $1,725 .00 $39,391.45 $2,751.00 $43,867.45 $43,867.45 The site is in San Rafael, CA, which is in climate zone 2. The DEER peak period days for climate zone 2 are the 8th , 9th , and 10 th of July. To qualify for kW savings, equipment needs to operate not only during the specific days of DEER peak periods, but also during the hours of Document date: 02/0512018 2pm-5pm on those specific days. The equipment is proposed to operate during DEER peak periods and thus does qualify for kW savings. Customer Incentive: The OA approved program incentive is $43,867.45 which is calculated using 35.0 Cents/kWh, $150/kW and $1.00/Therm incentive rates. The calculated incentive is less than 75% of the estimated incremental measure cost and is not capped. Design Team Incentive : The project used the whole building approach and the Design Team Incentive Application has been submitted: PRJ -00990854_DT App.pdf. Therefore, this project is eligible for design team incentive. The OA approved amount of the Design Team Incentive is $14,988.47.
