[Bldg-sim] Title 24 Performance Approach including renewable Electricity Production

Dear Joe,

I have the following concerns.

My (potentially and only formally badly performing) proposed building will not be a true representation of my (hopefully well performing, Net Zero Energy) real building as certain design features, according to my understanding, can not be considered in title 24 performance approach, e.g.:

-Exterior movable sun protection to ensure my 100% glazed façade is sufficiently protected
-Solar protection by trees,
-increased daylight due to generous glazing
-geothermal cooling
-some more technologies successfully implemented in other countries but not mentioned in title 24 ...

The PV has actually nothing to do with this, we have them anyway to reach Net Zero. I just ask myself how we can formally represent our well performing building (again, irrespective of the PV) with a building that does not allow for the set of measures as suggested above.

Does this make sense?
Regards
Nadir, Transsolar

Nadir,

How is it that the energy consumption of your building might exceed that of the reference building?  Using PVs seems like a very expensive way to make a building code-compliant.

Dear all,

For a non-residential building in California, I am assessing the possibility of including the electricity produced by a PV System in my energy consumption of my proposed building.

Do we know if this is possible, to balance my Net-zero Energy building against the reference building?

My energy consumption balance without the PV System might exceed that of the reference building.

Any ideas if this will be included in the 2013 version of title 24?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards
Nadir Abdessemed
