Los Angeles Green Building Code > A5 Nonresidential Voluntary Measures > A5.211 Renewable Energy
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

A5.211.1 On-Site Renewable Energy

Use on-site renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, low-impact hydro, biomass and bio-gas for at least 1 percent of the electric power calculated as the product of the building service voltage and the amperage specified by the electrical service overcurrent protection device rating or 1kW, (whichever is greater), in addition to the electrical demand required to meet 1 percent of the natural gas and propane use. The building project's electrical service overcurrent protection device rating shall be calculated in accordance with the 2016 California Electrical Code. Natural gas or propane use is calculated in accordance with the 2016 California Plumbing Code.

A5.211.1.1 Documentation

Using a calculation method approved by the California Energy Commission, calculate the renewable on-site energy system to meet the requirements of Section A5.211.1, expressed in kW. Factor in net-metering, if offered by local utility, on an annual basis.

A5.211.3 Green Power

If offered by local utility provider, participate in a renewable energy portfolio program that provides a minimum of 50-percent electrical power from renewable sources. Maintain documentation through utility billings.
