The alternate code cycle for the Title 24 review is needed to resolve issues pertaining to the 2016 code cycle and the high efficiency VRF system approved and already installed in the project. With the Delta 13 revisions, the project switched the heat pump system to a high efficiency VRF system. As the Title 24 report was re -run, the project could not demonstrate compliance under the 2016 code cycle. Compliance could not be met due to an issue with VRF systems and the CEC's interpretation of the efficiency of the systems under the 2016 code cycle that has since been resolved in the 2019 and current code cycle. Under the 2016 code cycle, the CEC forced the VRF system to be modeled under the state minimum efficiencies which negates the compliance credits that the VRF system generates under the current code cycle for the actual VRF system efficiencies. Included with this MOD application is an explanation for the issue with the VRF system and the CEC, the draft 2016 Title 24 report and 2022 Title 24 report that was submitted with Delta 14. The only difference between the draft 2016 report and 2022 report are the compliance credits given for the high efficiency VRF system. We are able to meet compliance under the 2022 code cycle as the actual efficiencies of the system are taken into account. Under the 2022 code cycle, we would be meeting the additional requirements for the mandatory solar PV, which the project was already planning to install, and adding solar battery storage. The approval of the MOD for the code cycle change for the Title 24 report is in conformance with energy compliance requirements allowing for a more efficient building to complete construction under the 2022 code cycle. I appreciate your time reviewing this MOD request and please feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions. Thank you, Nicole Thompson, AIA Brandon Architects, Inc.

For Title 24 permit submittals, you must model the units as a series of minimum efficiency split system heat pumps. Model all of the `indoor units' as their own outdoor unit (in the Central System Library, and at the System level of the Tree) and the outdoor unit does not get modeled. The heating and cooling capacity, fan airflow and design power should all come from the indoor unit specs. Don't model an outside air economizer in the outside tab. You can use the System Multiplier in the Building Tree if any of the units are identical. The heating and cooling efficiencies would be the standard code minimum efficiencies. 3 Phase -13 SEER,11 EER, 7.7 HSPF 1 Phase - 14 SEER,11.7 or 12.2 EER, 8.2 HSPF Please also reference the Appliance Efficiency Standards for the standard efficiencies.
