Modified Lighting Calculator (MLC) Version 13.1.2 Standard Practice - CPUC Staff Review Utilize the version labeled 'MLC_V13.1.2 (LOCKED) Rev 8.2.23 - FINAL' for all custom lighting projects at the earliest convenience, ensuring implementation within 60 days from August 15, 2023. Notably, this revision marks the incorporation of Multifamily buildings into the tool's scope. The non-residential segment of the tool retains its previous configuration, as seen in version 'MLC_V13.1.2 (LOCKED) Rev 5.5.23 – FINAL'. Note: An error was fixed on September 8, 2023 but the tool functionality remained the same as the version uploaded in August. 2023 Sep 8 2023 Sep 8 See history

Modified Lighting Calculator (MLC)

"MLC_V13.1.2 (LOCKED) Rev 5.5.23 - FINAL” to be used for all non-residential custom lighting projects starting from April 4, 2023. Any project with a signed project agreement or project application that occurs within 60 days of this date (i.e., April 4, 2023) can utilize the prior version of the tool.

Note: An error was fixed on May 5, 2023 but the tool functionality remained the same as the version uploaded in March.

DEER2020 Chiller Workbook

To support development of alternative measure definitions for chillers, and to extend the DEER chiller savings calculation methods to custom projects, DEER now includes a chiller savings calculation workbook, DEER2020_Chiller_Workbook-v1.xlsx, which utilizes the DEER chiller simulation results to develop savings of chiller measures that incorporate designated non-DEER measure characteristics.

Fuel Substitution Information
  • The CPUC provides a discussion regarding building decarbonization at CPUC's Building Decarbonization webpage.
  • The CPUC's Fuel Substitution Technical Guidance Document v.1 is both attached here and available at CPUC's Fuel Substitution in Energy Efficiency webpage.  Although the Draft Fuel Substitution Technical Guidance Document v2 has been posted to the same webpage, it has not yet been adopted by the CPUC.
  • The associated fuel-substitution calculator to be submitted with all fuel-substitution measure packages (both new or updated) using the Fuel Substitution Calculator v1.1 that is available exclusively at CPUC's Fuel Substitution in Energy Efficiency webpage. Again, although the Draft Fuel Substitution Calculator v2.0 has been posted to the same webpage, it has not yet been adopted by the CPUC. Measure package developers shall submit all fuel substitution measure packages using the Fuel Substitution Calculator v1.1 until otherwise notified.

RACC Workbook for Deemed/Custom Measures Per Section 1.1.2 (B.2) Refrigerant Impacts (RACC) of Resolution E-5221, the CPUC's Refrigerant Avoided Cost Calculator (RACC) methodology is to be used to calculate the refrigerant emissions and their costs for measure packages where the retrofit involves adding (not replacing) equipment that uses refrigerant--these include fuel substitution and electric resistance to heat pump measures--or where low-GWP measure benefits will be claimed. Since the RACC was updated September 15, 2022, the Deemed Measure RACC Workbook had to be updated to be consistent with the revised methodology to handle the end-of-life emissions for accelerated replacement MAT, etc. This workbook incorporates these updates. 2023 Aug 25 2023 Aug 25 See history
