Prop 39 ZNE Pilot Project

Program GoalsZNE projects are part of California Public Utilities Company’s (CPUC) Proposition 39 ZNE for Schools Pilot Program. Funds for Prop 39, The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, are helping schools across California with the state’s goals to reduce energy use and greenhouse emissions. Leverage Prop 39 funds • Retrofitting “existing” buildings in public schools & community

colleges • Establish “Proof of Concept” of feasibility across California • Document findings & Best Practices • Future Program Development

Prop 39 ZNE Value to Schools• Socialize awareness to stakeholders• District staff members, teachers, students, parents, & community• Design Assistance• Training• Implementation & on-going maintenance of these retrofits


7

Prop 39 ZNE Pilot Program Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:The pilot program aims to establish that ZNE retrofits of schools is feasible across California.

Learning Objective 2: All stakeholders involved in this pilot program are receiving an in-depth training on ZNE design and implementation, new and advance technologies, and the information gathered on any challenges on building to a ZNE level, is the basis of case studies being developed for school district education.

Learning Objective 3:The pilot program will provide the basis of larger scale implementation of ZNE concept at schools and community colleges and it will make schools and communities stronger, resilient and energy independent.

Learning Objective 4:Gather information about the current incremental cost of ZNE for school districts, and where these costs can be driven down, allowing district to redirect money for utility bills to classroom.

Pre-ZNE Implementation: District Offices

Current Utility Data

• Electrical consumption 510,000 kWh/year

• Peak electrical demand 158 kW

• Average electricity cost $0.15/kWh

• Average gas cost $1.17/therm

Existing Equipment

• Lower efficiency rooftop package cooling units

• Electrical resistance water heaters for domestic hot water needs

• Lighting systems were found to be 1st generation T8 lamps and lack effective occupancy and daylight controls

EML = 269pLux = 274M/P = 0.98

Just SolaTube

Where this measurement was taken, 269 EML is achieved with just the daylight coming from the SolaTube.This measurement supports the design goal that workstations near Solatubescan be primarily lit with daylight during daylight hours, (even with the blinds fully closed).

Old Fluorescent

• Compared with the old fluorescent light spectrum, which has sharp spikes, the daylight spectrum is broader and more even.

• The daylight source delivers nearly three times more Equivalent Melanopic Lux (EML), which leads to greater potential for circadian stimulus and alertness
