Abstract This report summarizes the energy savings and cost-effectiveness analysis of the commercial provisions of the 2020 NYStretch Energy Code of New York State. For this study, cost effectiveness means comparing the annual energy cost and first costs of complying with NYStretch versus the commercial provisions of the 2020 ECCC NYS to determine the incremental cost of design and construction as compared to the annual energy cost savings. NYStretch includes overlays of both the 2018 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2016. This analysis is limited to the overlay of ASHRAE 90.1-2016. The report includes the methodology used in the analysis, assumptions, and results at the applicable climate design zones for New York State. iii Keywords Energy code, stretch energy code, cost effectiveness, NYSERDA Table of Contents Notice..................................................................................................................................... ii Abstract ................................................................................................................................. ii Keywords.............................................................................................................................. iii Definitions ............................................................................................................................ iv Summary ............................................................................................................................S-1 Cost Effectiveness Study ............................................................................................... 1 1.1 Background................................................................................................................. 1 1.2 Energy Analysis Results................................................................................................ 2 1.3 Cost-Effectiveness Analysis ........................................................................................... 3 Appendix A. ........................................................................................................................A-1 Appendix B ........................................................................................................................

For purposes of these analyses, the weather files used are New York City (CZ 4A), Buffalo (CZ 5A), and Watertown (CZ 6A). Prototypes: Prototypes developed by the Department of Energy for modeling purposes for the following building types: Large Office, Stand-alone Retail, Secondary School, Large Hotel, Full-Service Restaurant, Outpatient Healthcare, Warehouse, 10-Story High-Rise Apartment, and 20-Story High- Rise Apartment. The 10- and 20-Story High-Rise Apartment prototypes were developed by PNNL based on New York City building permit data for multifamily buildings for use in the NYStretch Code analysis. 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (2020 ECCC NYS): An energy code based on the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code, published by the International Code Council and subsequently modified by New York State. S-1 Summary With guidance from a 25-member advisory group composed of public and private stakeholders, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) developed the NYStretch Energy Code-2020 (draft dated January 2019) (NYStretch) as a voluntary, locally adoptable stretch energy code. It is intended that NYStretch will overlay the 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State (2020 ECCC NYS) resulting in an energy code that is roughly 7% more efficient than the commercial provisions of ASHRAE 90.1-2016. To assist communities in adopting NYStretch, NYSERDA contracted Vidaris to provide a cost- effectiveness analysis of the commercial provisions of NYStretch. For this study, cost effectiveness means comparing the annual energy cost and first costs of complying with NYStretch versus the 2020 ECCC NYS to determine the incremental cost of design and construction as compared to the annual energy cost savings. NYStretch includes overlays of both the 2018 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2016. The analysis presented in this report is limited to the overlay of ASHRAE 90.1-2016. The NYStretch overlay for 90.1-2016 includes a new requirement for choosing an additional set of increased efficiency requirements. For this analysis, the option for reduced lighting power was included for all buildings. A summary of results is presented in Tables ES-1 through ES-6. The differences between ASHRAE 90.1-2016 and NYStretch vary by building type and climate zone with site energy savings ranging from 2.3 to 14%, source energy savings ranging from 3.0 to 15.3%, and energy cost savings ranging from 3.0 to 16.4%. Incremental costs range from $0.28 to $5.59 per square foot and simple payback ranges from 3.0 to 18.4 years. In aggregate, this analysis indicates that versus ASHRAE 90.1-2016, the NYStretch yields savings statewide for each building in each climate zone with site energy savings of 5.4%, source energy savings of 6.7%, and energy cost savings of 7.1%. These savings are achieved with an average additional cost of $1.14 per square foot with a 10.5-year simple payback. S-2 Table ES-1.

Cost Effectiveness Study 1.1 Background The PNNL report Final Energy Savings Analysis of the Proposed NYStretch-Energy Code 2018, February 2019 (PNNL-ACT-10073 Rev. 1) presents the energy and energy cost savings for nine prototype buildings, which represent more than 73% of the projected new construction by floor-space accounted for in the full suite of 16 DOE prototypes. PNNL-ACT-10073 Rev. 1 identifies 15 Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMS) required by the NYStretch. The PNNL analysis and report compare the provisions of the NYStretch against ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2013 to determine savings. To determine the cost effectiveness of NYStretch relative to ASHRAE 90.1-2016, Vidaris quantified the difference in annual energy performance between NYStretch and ASHRAE 90.1-2016 using Energy Plus models for nine prototype buildings in three New York cities representing the climates zones shown in Table 1. Table 1. Prototypes and New York Climate Zones DOE Prototype Climate Zone: City (Weather file) Large Office Building CZ 4A: New York (USA_NY_New .York- J.F.Kennedy.Intl.A P.744860_TMY3.epw ) CZ 5A: Buffalo (USA_NY_Buffalo- Greater.Buffalo.Intl.AP.725280_TMY3.epw ) CZ 6A: Watertown (USA_NY_Watertow n.AP.726227_TMY3.epw ) Stand-alone Retail Secondary School Large Hotel Full-service Restaurant Outpatient Healthcare Warehouse 10-Story High-rise Apartment 20-Story High-rise Apartment The cities selected for CZs 4A and 5A are the same cities used by PNNL in its most recent national analysis of ASHRAE 90.1-2016: Energy Savings Analysis: ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2016, October 2017 (PNNL 2017); namely, New York City and Buffalo, NY. Changes to the climate zone map in ASHRAE 90.1-2016 reclassified some cities in CZ 6A to CZ 5A, including Buffalo, NY. Consequently, for CZ 5A Buffalo supplanted Albany, which had been used in previous State-specific analyses for CZ 5A. Moving Buffalo meant selecting another city for CZ 6A as PNNL 2017 used Rochester, MN to represent CZ 6A in the national analysis. Based on consultation with NYSERDA, Watertown, NY was selected to represent CZ 6A for this analysis. Weather files were downloaded directly from the DOE’s EERE website for this analysis. 1 Note that the cities used for this analysis are the same cities used in support of the New York State Department of State rulemaking process for adopting the 2020 ECCC NYS. 1.2 Energy Analysis Results PNNL developed the EnergyPlus prototype models specifically for the NYStretch analysis done for NYSERDA. NYSERDA provided PNNL’s nine prototype building types to be used by Vidaris in this analysis. Vidaris started with the NYStretch models and modified them as necessary to create the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 baseline models for each prototype appropriate to each climate zone. A list of the differences between the NYStretch and 90.1-2016 models is provided in Appendix A. To determine the statewide savings that the NYStretch offers beyond ASHREA 90.1-2016, weighting factors for each result were applied to determine the aggregate savings. The weighting factors used in this analysis were developed by PNNL based on construction volume by building type and climate zone and are presented in PNNL-ACT-10073 Rev. 1. Vidaris used the same energy prices used for the 2020 ECCC NYS cost-effectiveness and are shown in Table 4. These rates are based on commercial energy price information available from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for the 2017 calendar year. 2 www.energycodes.gov/development/commercial/90.1_models The year 2017 was the most current year for which complete data for electricity and natural gas rates and heat content for natural gas was available as of January 2019 when the 2020 NYS ECC cost-effectiveness analysis was started. Vidaris used EnergyPlus v8.0.0 and generated the results for each prototype under both codes and for each climate zone. Based on the prototype buildings, 2020 NYStretch has been shown to be 7.1% more efficient than ASHRAE 90.1-2016 on a cost per square foot basis. With respect to site and source energy, NYStretch yields savings of 5.4% and 6.7%, respectively. The aggregated results by code and by climate zone are presented in Table 2 (See Appendix B for more detailed results by building type.) Table 2. Aggregated Differences in Annual Energy Use and Annual Energy Cost between ASHRAE 90.1-2016 and 2020 NYStretch t h e A g g regated Dif fer ence s in A nnual Energ y us age a nd A nnual Ener gy Cost between ASHRAE 90. 1-2016 and 2020 NYSt retch.

Additionally, Vidaris modified the cost data to reflect city-specific cost factors from RS Means. For consistency, the EIA rate data and RS Means cost factors were selected from 2017, the most recent year for which complete annual average utility data was available from the EIA. Cost-effectiveness analysis was not included in PNNL-ACT-10073 Rev. 1. Consequently, Vidaris developed incremental cost data based predominantly on the following sources: • 2018 Building Construction Costs with RSMeans Data (RSMeans 2018), • 2018 Mechanical Costs with RSMeans Data (RSMeans 2018), and • cost data used by PNNL in their national cost-effectiveness analysis of ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Where these sources were insufficient, Vidaris obtained estimates based on data from the internet (e.g., electric vehicle charging stations), or its own experience supplemented as needed with conversations with other practitioners (e.g., infiltration testing, lighting). The life of energy efficiency measures was determined from NYSERDA’s Whole Building Incentive Calculator and are summarized in Table 3. Detailed cost estimates by building type and climate zone are included in Appendix D. Table 3. Measure Life Assumptions the Measure Life As sumptions. T he table is made up of two co l umns which list s the measure an d correspondi ng measure life in y ea rs. Regarding the life-cycle costing, PNNL’s latest analysis of ASHRAE 90.1-2016 is based upon Energy Price Indices and Discount Factors for Life-Cycle Cost Analysis published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST data for 2017 was selected to be consistent with the other cost data being used. NIST identifies the real discount rate for non-energy related expenses (i.e., maintenance and replacement costs) and delineates Uniform Present Value Factors (UPV Factors) to be used for life- cycle periods from one to 30 years, by energy type, for Census Region 1 (which includes New York State) and based on a real DOE discount rate of 3.0%. The UPV Factor is multiplied by the annual energy cost to determine the life-cycle value of energy cost over the life-cycle period. The city cost factors, utility cost data, and life-cycle parameters used in the analysis are presented in Table 4. Table 4. Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Parameters provides the parameters and their sources used in the Life Cycle Cost Analysis. The first row shows the energy price values and their source. The next row shows the Energy Price Escalation factors over 10 years and 30 years for electricity and natural gas and their source. The next row displays the Discount Rate used in the analysis, set at 3.0%. The final row is the City Code Index for construction costs for the representative cities in each climate zone, and their source. The life of a measure does not necessarily equal the life-cycle study period. Measures may have longer or shorter lives than the 10- and 30-year periods used for this analysis, as detailed in Table 3. Consequently, a residual value of the measures was included in the analysis to account for the value of the measure associated with the remaining life of the materials installed as part of the measure. The residual values used are based on straight line depreciation of the present value of the measure over the life of the measure. For example, if a measure has a 20-year life, then at the end of 10 years it has a residual value equal to 50% of the first cost to install the measure. Economic analysis results based on annual energy savings and simple payback are presented in Tables 5 and 6. The payback period varies from 3.0 years for Large Office in CZ6A to 18.4 years for Warehouse in CZ4A. In aggregate, the statewide area weighted payback period is 10.5 years. Table 5.

Additionally, the results of the 10- and 30-year life-cycle analyses are presented in Tables 7 and 8, respectively. The results show that the 10-year present value of energy savings between NYStretch and ASHRAE 90.1-2016 is greater than the installed cost of materials for most building types in each of the climate zones examined with the exception of Standalone Retail, Outpatient Healthcare and Warehouse in CZ4A. The net savings are aggregated based on the floor space-based weighting factors. The resulting aggregated energy cost savings, for all climate zones and prototypes, is greater than the installed cost of materials to achieve the savings of $0.18/sf over the 10-year period.

Differences between 2020 NYStretch Energy Code and ASHRAE 90.1-2016 by DOE Prototype and Climate Zone Note: This appendix adopts the EEM numbering convention used in the PNNL report, Final Energy Savings Analysis of the Proposed NYStretch-Energy Code 2018, February 2019 (PNNL-ACT-10073, Rev. 1). The following EEMs were not included in Vidaris’ analysis as they are not considered stretch measures with respect to ASHRAE 90.1-2016: • EEM 5 Occupancy Sensors and Automatic Lighting Controls • EEM 6 Exterior Lighting Controls • EEM 8 Hotel Guestroom HVAC Vacancy Control • EEM 14 ERV for Apartment Makeup Air Units The following EEMs were not included in the final version of the 2020 NYStretch Energy Code: • EEM 9 High-efficiency SHW (Refer to Appendix C for further discussion) • EEM 15 Demand-based Controls for Recirculated SHW systems A-2 EEM 1 Enhanced Insulation for Roofs and Walls This measure amends Table C402.1.4 with more stringent U-factors for opaque thermal envelope assemblies. The ASHRAE compliance path is required to comply with this revision per section C401.2.1.a of NYStretch. Cost data for this measure was developed by determining an insulation cost per R-value from RSMeans and applying this to the additional insulation required to achieve the improved U-values specified in table C402.1.4. It was assumed that continuous mineral fiber would be used to meet the required thermal performance for walls; additional extruded polystyrene was used to meet the increased performance for roofs. This requirement applies to each of the building prototypes as follows. OPAQUE THERMAL ENVELOPE (U-factor) NYStretch ASHRAE 90.1 -2016 Large office, Stand-alone retail CLIMATE ZONE 4 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: mass (non-res) 0.099 0.104 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: mass (non-res) 0.086 0.090 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.029 0.032 Walls, above grade: mass (non-res) 0.076 0.080 Full-Service Restaurant 3 CLIMATE ZONE 4 Roofs: attic and other 0.020 0.021 Walls, above grade: steel framed (non-res) 0.061 0.064 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Roofs: attic and other 0.020 0.021 Walls, above grade: steel framed (non-res) 0.052 0.055 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Roofs: attic and other 0.019 0.021 Walls, above grade: steel framed (non-res) 0.047 0.049 Secondary School, Outpatient Healthcare CLIMATE ZONE 4 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: steel framed (non-res) 0.061 0.064 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: steel framed (non-res) 0.052 0.055 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.029 0.032 Walls, above grade: steel framed (non-res) 0.047 0.049 U-factor for attic roof in the NYStretch model was revised to reflect updated draft requirements A-3 OPAQUE THERMAL ENVELOPE (U-factor) NYStretch ASHRAE 90.1 -2016 Large Hotel CLIMATE ZONE 4 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: mass (residential) 0.086 0.090 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: mass (residential) 0.076 0.080 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.029 0.032 Walls, above grade: mass (residential) 0.067 0.071 Warehouse 4 CLIMATE ZONE 4 Roofs: metal building 0.035 0.037 Walls, above grade: metal building 0.048 0.060 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Roofs: metal building 0.035 0.037 Walls, above grade: metal building 0.048 0.050 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Roofs: metal building 0.028 0.031 Walls, above grade: metal building 0.048 0.050 10-Story Apartment, 20-Story Apartment CLIMATE ZONE 4 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: steel framed (residential) 0.061 0.064 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.030 0.032 Walls, above grade: steel framed (residential) 0.052 0.055 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Roofs: insulation entirely above deck 0.029 0.032 Walls, above grade: steel framed (residential) 0.044 0.049 U-factor for metal building walls and roof in the NYStretch model were revised to reflect updated 2020 NYStretch requirements. A-4 EEM 2 Enhanced Fenestration This measure amends Table C402.2.4 with more stringent U-factors and SHGCs for building envelope fenestration assemblies. The ASHRAE compliance path is required to comply with this revision per section C401.2.1.b of NYStretch. Currently under the 2020 NYS ECCC, there is a proposed revision to 2018 IECC such that north-facing vertical fenestration will be required to meet the SHGC requirements applicable to south, east and west facing fenestration. Consequently, this analysis assumes all orientations will meet the SHGC requirements for the south, east, and west orientations. Window performance in the energy models is based on weighting factors provided by PNNL for fixed, operable, and non-metal framing for each of the building prototypes. This requirement applies to all the building prototypes. Vidaris revised the U-factors in the PNNL NYStretch models to reflect the current NYStretch requirements. Cost data for this measure was developed based on the incremental costs between windows with respect to decreased U-factor in PNNL’s national cost effectiveness analysis. VERTICAL FENESTRATION (U-Factor) NYStretch ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Large Office, Stand-alone Retail, Secondary School, Large Hotel, Full-Service Restaurant, Outpatient Healthcare, Warehouse, 10-Story High-Rise Apartment, and 20-Story High-Rise Apartment CLIMATE ZONE 4 Fixed fenestration (metal) 0.36 0.38 Operable fenestration (metal) 0.43 0.46 Non-metal 0.30 0.31 SHGC 0.36 0.36 Skylight U 0.48 0.50 Skylight SHGC 0.38 0.40 CLIMATE ZONE 5 Fixed fenestration (metal) 0.36 0.38 Operable fenestration (metal) 0.43 0.46 Non-metal 0.27 0.31 SHGC 0.38 0.38 Skylight U 0.48 0.50 Skylight SHGC 0.38 0.40 CLIMATE ZONE 6 Fixed fenestration (metal) 0.34 0.36 Operable fenestration (metal) 0.41 0.45 Non-metal 0.27 0.30 SHGC 0.40 0.40 Skylight U 0.48 0.50 Skylight SHGC 0.38 0.40 A-5 EEM 3 Air Leakage Testing for Mid-sized Buildings This measure amends section 5.4.3.1.3 to add a requirement for buildings 25,000 to 50,000 square feet and less than or equal to 75 feet in height to comply with whole building pressurization testing and air barrier requirements. Previously, testing was not required. For this analysis, the new testing requirement applied only to the Outpatient Healthcare and Warehouse prototypes. The difference between 90.1-2016 and NYStretch are as follows: AIR LEAKAGE [cfm/sf] NYStretch 90.1-2016 Outpatient Healthcare 0.40 1.00 Warehouse 0.40 1.00 Infiltration testing was assumed to be done once to confirm compliance. Any additional testing would be optional since it would not necessarily be required for compliance but would be an aid during construction. Costing for this measure was based on Vidaris experience with this work and feedback from industry professionals. For CZ 5A and 6A the size of the Outpatient Healthcare allows for a cost of $3,200, and $8,500 for climate CZ 4A due to complexity related testing in locations like New York City. The Warehouse was considered more complex due to the volume and height of a typical warehouse with greater cost of testing equipment and more effort to do the work. Ultimately, the cost was judged to be twice that of the Outpatient Healthcare, or about $17,000 for CZ 4A and $6,400 for CZs 5A and 6A. EEM 4 Reduced LPD for Interior Lighting This measure amends Tables C405.3.2(1) and C405.3.2(2) with reduced lighting power densities (LPD). The ASHRAE compliance path is required to comply with this revision per section C401.2.1.c of NYStretch. The ASHRAE compliance path is also directed to follow the requirements of section C406—Additional Efficiency Package Options. Per direction from NYSERDA, the analysis is based on Option 2—reduced lighting power in accordance with section C406.3, which specifies an additional 10% reduction in connected lighting power. This requirement applies to all the building prototypes. Previous cost estimates from PNNL associate a lower first cost for buildings with lower LPD; based on feedback from lighting design professionals, it is anticipated there will be no cost associated with this measure. LPDs are based on the space-by-space method unless indicated otherwise.

It requires that variable air volume (VAV) systems use no more than 0.0010 bhp/cfm and constant air volume (CAV) systems use no more than 0.00088 bhp/cfm for fan power. These limits only apply to fan motors larger than 5 nameplate horsepower; smaller fan sizes are not regulated in either code. This requirement applies to the large office, standalone retail, secondary school, large hotel, and outpatient healthcare building prototypes. Vidaris revised the PNNL NYStretch models to reflect current NYStretch code requirements for these fan systems. Costing for this measure was based on increased system capacities for larger air handling equipment that would result in increased cross-sectional areas of the unit and components (e.g., coils, filters, ducts, unit housings, etc.) that would reduce the static pressure, and thus the brake horsepower, for the affected systems. For constant volume fans, this required an increased capacity of 3.2%; variable volume systems required a 13.4% increase in capacity. Fan Power Allowance NYStretch 90.1-2016 Large Office, Standalone Retail, Secondary School, Large Hotel, and Outpatient Healthcare CV (bhp/cfm) 0.00088 0.00094 VAV (bhp/cfm) 0.00100 0.00130 EEM 10 High-efficiency Commercial Kitchen Equipment EEM10 reduces plug load energy usage. This measure upgrades major commercial kitchen appliances to ENERGY STAR®. Costing for this measure was based on equipment lists from previous projects and the incremental costs from the Savings Calculator for ENERGY STAR® Commercial Kitchen Equipment developed by the U.S. EPA and DOE. 7 To account for the variation of kitchen sizes in the affected prototypes, an incremental cost per square foot was used. Affected prototypes: secondary school, full-service restaurant, and large hotel. The Savings Calculator for Energy Commercial Kitchen Equipment is available at https://www.energystar.gov/sites/.../commercial_kitchen_equipment_calculator.xlsx A-9 EEM 11 Thermal Bridging Reduction EEM11 addresses the mandatory provision in NYStretch to include a minimum R-3 thermal break at penetrations, including parapet walls and balcony projections. None of the prototypes include balconies. Each building with a flat roof is assumed to have a parapet that is 42 in. high and follows the perimeter of the roof. This analysis assumes that each prototype meets prescriptive requirements of the code. This measure simply requires that elements of the envelope that are noncompliant have an R-value no less than R-3, which is itself less than code compliant. Consequently, the remainder of the envelope systems would have to be improved to reach overall code compliance. Consequently, this measure does not result in any energy savings. Additional insulation is included in the lifecycle cost analysis to address the additional cost of meeting the prescriptive requirements for opaque envelope assemblies. Costing for this measure was based on the assumption of additional mineral wool insulation at the parapet to eliminate thermal bridging. It was assumed that this will require 12in at wall + 42in of parapet height + 12in wide parapet + 42in of parapet height to roof deck = 9 ft of total insulation of R-4.2/in for entire perimeter of roof. Affected prototypes: large office, standalone retail, secondary school, large hotel, outpatient healthcare, 10-story high-rise apartment, and 20-story high-rise apartment. EEM 12 Exterior Lighting Power Reduction This measure modifies Table C405.4.2(2) with reduced exterior lighting power allowances. As allowances vary by lighting zone, the model uses an average of lighting zones for each protype building; these averages were developed by PNNL for the national analysis of ASHRAE 90.1-2016. Following the methodology used by PNNL’s analysis of NYStretch, it is assumed there are no parking lots for prototypes in climate zone 4A. PNNL also excluded exterior lighting for 10-story and 20-story apartment prototypes as the majority of these buildings are in climate zone 4A and have no or limited exterior lighting. At the time of this analysis, this measure is only included in the IECC overlay of the NYStretch draft. Vidaris included this measure in the analysis at NYSERDA’s direction as the final version of the code is anticipated to include it in the ASHRAE path as well. A-10 Based on an analysis of typical parking lot lighting, it was determined that standard metal halide lamps could be used to achieve the LPD limits for NYStretch. As there is only a minimal reduction in façade and entryway lighting, it was assumed there is no incremental cost for this measure.

The analysis of the impact of the measure is included to memorialize the findings. This measure required a high-efficiency service water heating (SWH) system. A service water heating system with large input size for either individual water heater or aggregate capacity of all water heaters would be required to have minimum thermal efficiency (Et) of 94%. This requirement only applied to buildings with water heating equipment with an individual or aggregate input rating of 1,000,000 Btu/h or greater. PNNL’s analysis for this measure originally showed savings associated with the prototypes for large hotel, full-service restaurant, outpatient healthcare, 10-story apartments and 20-story apartments. Upon review, Vidaris found only 20-story apartment building prototype had a SHW system meeting the 1,000,000 Btu/h threshold. Costing for this measure was based on the price differential for three 400 MBH boilers with the efficiencies in the following table. 2020 NYStretch ASHRAE 90.1-2016 20-Story Apartment High efficiency hot w ater heaters w ith 94% Et 1,200 MBH total capacity Hot w ater heaters w ith 90% Et 1,200 MBH total capacity Based on Vidaris’ analysis, savings and payback for this measure varies by climate zone as shown in the following table. Annual energy cost savings are between $563 and $633, and payback is between 8.58 and 5.65 years for CZs 4A and 6A, respectively.

The table then lists the Incremental First Costs and payback period in each climate zone. Based on the limited savings for the measure and concerns regarding potential federal preemption of this section, NYSERDA elected not to include the SHW requirements in the final version of the 2020 NYStretch Energy Code.
