C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NA Little CEC History Our governing document is Section 25402 of the PublicResources Code also known as the Warren Alquist Act Signed into law in 1974 by Ronald Reagan and launched by JerryBrown in 1975 The act created the Energy Commission in 1974 and gave it authority todevelop and maintain Building Energy Efficiency Standards Mandates Building Efficiency Standards and requires the buildingdepartments to enforce them through the permit process Requires the Standards and new requirements to be cost effective overthe economic life of the structure Requires the Energy Commission to update the Standards periodically(about every 3 years)6

Separate compliance for each “group”of building components. Simplest approach, but less flexible. Establishes baseline for the Standardbuilding budget under the PerformanceApproach.16

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NDemonstrating Compliance23

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NHow To Demonstrate Compliance Compliance demonstration starts with compliancedocuments (forms). Completed by designers, consultants, builders, contractors, technicians,HERS raters, ATTs, etc. Submitted to enforcement agencies for verification at different stages ofconstruction. There are four form categories. Certificate of Compliance (NRCC) Certificate of Installation (NRCI) Certificate of Acceptance (NRCA) Certificate of Verification (NRCV) There are several sub-categories of each related to the buildingcomponent –MCH, ENV, LTI, etc.24

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NWhat is the NRCC? Nonresidential Certificate of Compliance Used to demonstrate compliance of the design. Completed by designer, architect, energy consultant,engineer, etc. Required with or on plans at permit. Plans Examiner verifies NRCC matches specs on plans.25

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NWhat is the NRCI? Nonresidential Certificate of Installation Confirms compliance at installation. Completed by builder or installing contractor. Required for Final Inspection. Field Inspector verifies installed equipment and efficienciesmeet design documentation (NRCC forms) and plans.26

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NWhat is the NRCA? Nonresidential Certificate of Acceptance Confirms compliance with acceptance testing requirements atinstallation (HVAC & Lighting). Completed by builder/installing contractor, OR an AcceptanceTest Technician (ATT) when required. Required for Final Inspection. Field Inspector verifies applicable tests and forms are completeand accurate.27

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NWhat is the NRCV? Nonresidential Certificate of Verification Confirms compliance with HERS testing requirements atinstallation (duct leakage & hot water piping). Completed by certified HERS rater, and forms must beregistered with an approved HERS Provider. Required for Final Inspection. Field Inspector verifies testing and forms are completed,signed, and registered.28

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NNote about the Nonresidential DataRegistry All nonresidential forms are required to be registered(§10-103) Contingent upon approval of a nonresidential data registry. To date, no such registry has been approved. This means that registration is not required at this time. No application has been submitted as of yet to review.31

C A L I F O R N I AE N E R G YC O M M I S S I O NCode Quiz: What are the four types of forms and in what order are they typically used?1. NRCC – Certificate of Compliance.2. NRCI – Certificate of Installation.3. NRCA – Certificate of Acceptance4. NRCV – Certificate of Verification Which compliance approach offers the ability to trade off energy features?a) Performance Compliance Approachb) Prescriptive Compliance Approach Can you trade off mandatory measures for other higher efficiency featureswhen using the Performance Approach?a) Yesb) Noc) Maybe32
