<br />5.409.2 Whole building life cycle assessment. Projects shall conduct a cradle-to-grave whole building life cycle
<br />assessment performed in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, excluding operating energy, and
<br />demonstrating a minimum 10-percent reduction in global warming potential (GWP) as compared to a reference
<br />baseline building of similar size, function, complexity, type of construction, material specification, and location that
<br />meets the requirements of the California Energy Code currently in effect. Software used to conduct the whole building
<br />life cycle assessment, including reference baseline building, shall have a data set compliant with ISO 14044, and ISO
<br />21930 or EN 15804, and the software shall conform to ISO 21931 and/or EN 15978. The software tools and data sets
<br />shall be the same for evaluation of both the baseline building and the proposed building.
<br />Notes:
<br />1. Software for calculating whole building life cycle assessment is available for free at Athena Sustainable
<br />Materials Institute (https://calculatelca.com/software/impact-estimator/) and OneClick LCA-Planetary
<br />(www.oneclicklca.com/planetary). Paid versions include, but are not limited to, Sphera GaBi Solutions
<br />(gabi.sphera.com), SimaPro (simapro.com), One-Click LCA (www.oneclicklca.com) and Tally for Revit
<br />(apps.autodesk.com).
<br />2. ASTM E2921-22 “Standard Practice for Minimum Criteria for Comparing Whole Building Life Cycle
<br />Assessments for Use with Building Codes, Standards, and Rating Systems” may be consulted for the
<br />assessment.
<br />3. In addition to the required documentation specified in Section 5.409.2.3, Worksheet WS-9 may be
<br />required by the enforcing entity to demonstrate compliance with the requirements.
<br />5.409.2.1 Building components. Building enclosure components included in the assessment shall be limited
<br />to glazing assemblies, insulation, and exterior finishes. Primary and secondary structural members included in
<br />the assessment shall be limited to footings and foundations, and structural columns, beams, walls, roofs, and
<br />floors.
<br />5.409.2.2 Reference study period. The reference study period of the proposed building shall be equal to the
<br />reference baseline building and shall be 60 years.
<br />5.409.2.3 Verification of compliance. A summary of the GWP analysis produced by the software and
<br />Worksheet WS-4 signed by the design professional of record shall be provided in the construction documents
<br />as documentation of compliance. A copy of the whole building life cycle assessment which includes the GWP
<br />analysis produced by the software, in addition to maintenance and training information, shall be included in the
<br />operation and maintenance manual and shall be provided to the owner at the close of construction. The
<br />enforcing agency may require inspection and inspection reports in accordance with Sections 702.2 and 703.1
<br />during and at completion of construction to demonstrate substantial conformance. Inspection shall be
<br />performed by the design professional of record or third party acceptable to the enforcing agency.
<br />5.409.3 Product GWP compliance—prescriptive path. Each product that is permanently installed and listed in
<br />Table 5.409.3 shall have a Type III environmental product declaration (EPD), either product-specific or
<br />factory-specific.
<br />SECTION 5.503 FIREPLACES
<br />5.503.1 FIREPLACES. Install only a direct-vent sealed-combustion gas or sealed wood-burning fireplace, or a sealed
<br />woodstove or pellet stove, and refer to residential requirements in the California Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6,
<br />Subchapter 7, Section 150. Woodstoves, pellet stoves and fireplaces shall comply with applicable local ordinances.
<br />5.503.1.1 Woodstoves. Woodstoves and pellet stoves shall comply with U.S. EPA New Source Performance
<br />Standards (NSPS) emission limits as applicable, and shall have a permanent label indicating they are certified
<br />to meet the emission limits.
<br />5.410.4.2 (Reserved)
<br />Note: For energy-related systems under the scope (Section 100) of the California Energy Code, including
<br />heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems and controls, indoor lighting system and controls, as well
<br />as water heating systems and controls, refer to California Energy Code Section 120.8 for commissioning
<br />requirements and Sections 120.5, 120.6, 130.4, and 140.9(b)3 for additional testing requirements of specific
<br />systems.
<br />5.410.4.2 Systems. Develop a written plan of procedures for testing and adjusting systems. Systems to be
<br />included for testing and adjusting shall include at a minimum, as applicable to the project:
<br />1. Renewable energy systems.
<br />2. Landscape irrigation systems.
<br />3. Water reuse systems.
<br />5.410.4.3 Procedures. Perform testing and adjusting procedures in accordance with manufacturer's
<br />specifications and applicable standards on each system.
<br />5.410.4.3.1 HVAC balancing. In addition to testing and adjusting, before a new space-conditioning
<br />system serving a building or space is operated for normal use, the system shall be balanced in
<br />accordance with the procedures defined by the Testing Adjusting and Balancing Bureau National
<br />Standards; the National Environmental Balancing Bureau Procedural Standards; Associated Air Balance
<br />Council National Standards or as approved by the enforcing agency.
