Who Are We?
Host: Gina Rodda
Gina Rodda, our host for the Decoding Talk
series, is a Certified Energy Analyst (CEA), and
LEED Accredited Professional (AP).
Gabel Associates, LLC
gina@gabelenergy.com
She is involved in providing residential and nonresidential energy calculations for a variety of
building types throughout California; an
instructor of full day trainings; and host of
various webinars specific to Title 24 (Part 6)
Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
Gina has been in the energy modeling field since
1991, through the course of eight California
building energy code cycles.

Who Are We?
Co-Host: Martyn Dodd
Martyn Dodd, the founder and principal of EnergySoft
in Novato, CA, is an industry expert in performancebased building analysis. He has written software
programs used in California for Title 24 energy code
compliance since 1985, including EnergyPro, COMPLY
24, and the California Energy Commission's Perform
software.
He is also one of the original authors of the 1992 Nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method Manual,
which defines the rules for code compliance software
and has become the model for national and
international code compliance software procedures.

120.2(k) Optimum start/stop controls
Graphic by tekmar control systems
In our opinion…

A building experiences delays in
dropping down its temperature
at the beginning of the setback
period, and increasing its
temperature at the end of the
setback period.

This function learns the response
of the system in order to
calculate a start and stop time for
the system so that the building is
comfortable when the occupied
period begins.

Space conditioning systems with
DDC to the zone level shall have
optimum start/stop controls.

140.4(e)5 Dx Systems with Economizers
 Direct expansion (DX) systems with
economizers that are:

>65,000 BTUH AND

Control the capacity of cooling
based on space temperature
 Must have minimum 2 stage
cooling capacity
This was phased in during the 2013
code cycle, but did you know that?

 Directly conditioned space that have
a thermostatic control and OPERABLE
openings to the outside (i.e.

When openings are left open for
more than 5 minutes then
 Interlocked controls will disable

Residential PV Systems
Increased PV Credit
 The PV System Credit is available only if:

The Performance Approach is used

The project is in Climate Zones 1-5, 8-16

The system is:
 ≥ 2 kWdc* for Single Family
 ≥ 1 kWdc* for Multi Family
* kilowatts direct current
A typical 1kWdc system often has
approximately four PV panels
In our opinion…

The amount of credit will depend upon
the Climate Zone and the Conditioned
Floor Area of the dwelling.
 PV System credit does not require HERS
verification unless getting rebate from the
New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP)
For the 2019 Standards, the PV tradeoff will no longer be
available to trade away the 2016 HPA and HPW (AND not
allowed for current CAHP programs)
