Background on Fremont Sustainability Efforts

Located in Alameda County Incorporated in 1956 From historic farmland

suburban sprawl Current population of

232,206 4th largest City in Bay Area 92 sq. mi. Silicon Valley East

About Fremont, CA

General Plan (December 2011) Sustainability Element as 1st Chapter Fremont to serve as a national model of

how an auto-oriented suburb can evolve into a sustainable, strategically urban, modern city.

Climate Action Plan (November 2012) Roadmap for reducing the Citys GHG

emissions 25% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline.

Household Comparison

A Fremont home emits an average of 3.65 MTCO2e every year.

Vehicle Comparison

Over 1 year, a standard passenger vehicle emits 4.75 MTCO2e.

GHG Equivalency

It would take over 1,000 mi2 of forest to sequester the total CO2 emitted by Fremonts households & passenger vehicles.

New 2016 Cost Effectiveness Study

Provides cost-effective system sizing based on CA climate Zones

Min. PV size based on % of total building time dependent valuation (TDV) of energy use TDV values energy use differently

depending on the fuel source, time of day, and season.

Reflects societal value or cost of energy including long-term projected costs of energy

Electricity used (or saved) during peak periods of the summer has a much higher value than electricity used (or saved) during off-peak periods

2016 Study Conclusions

Finds solar PV in new residential developments are feasible and cost-effective in all 16 California climates zones.

Cities can pass a local ordinance using the 2016 Cost-Effectiveness study as the basis if:

Buildings are required to first meet the mandatory Energy Code compliance without the use of the PV compliance credit (PVCC).

PV system sizes are based on the capacities shown in the study.

CEC Template Ordinance

Designed according to Cost-Effectiveness study recommendations

Applies to Residential (Single & MF) building types

Provides prescriptive system sizes for units 4,499 sq. ft.

For units/buildings 4,500 sq. ft., developers must model the system size to meet a minimum percentage of TDV energy usage

Ordinance can be adopted as is, or with modifications

PV System Sizing in Ordinance

4500 + 55% TDV Energy Use

Climate Zone 3 (Fremont)

Proposed Local Modifications

Include all residential development types

Provide for alternative compliance options: Renewable energy systems other than rooftop solar, including

ground-mounted or carport solar & wind energy systems Increased energy efficiency (CALGreen Tier 1)

Account for possible expanded system sizes: Require developer to offer expanded system size to buyer. Require developer to provide solar readiness beyond required

system sizes per mandatory solar zone & solar pathway Encourage developer to consider use of expandable technology

Encourage an all-electric building energy system design

Adoption Timeline (end)

Alignment with CA Goals

California Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Goal: All new Res. by 2020; All new Non-Res

& 50% existing Non-Res by 2030

CA Renewable Portfolio Standard: 33% renewable by 2020 & 50% by 2030

Statewide GHG Reduction Goal: 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 & 80%

below by 2050
