Navigating the complexities of energy efficiency compliance in California, the NRCC-ELC-01-E form plays a pivotal role for professionals involved in the design and construction of nonresidential buildings. This form serves as a Certificate of Compliance under the 2016 CA Building Energy Efficiency Standards, specifically focusing on the Electrical Power Distribution aspect of a project. It requires detailed information about the project, including its name, address, the climate zone in which it's located, and specifics about the conditioned and unconditioned floor areas, in addition to the type of building and the phase of construction. The form is designed to ensure that the electrical power distribution system of a nonresidential building adheres to the state's stringent standards for energy efficiency, ranging from service electrical metering to the separation of electrical circuits for better energy monitoring and control. The nuanced requirements detailed in this form, such as voltage drop compliance, circuit controls for 120-Volt receptacles, and specialized controls for various types of buildings, highlight California's commitment to reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability. By fulfilling the criteria laid out on each page of the NRCC-ELC-01-E form, project teams contribute to more energy-efficient buildings that not only comply with current legislation but also pave the way for a more sustainable future.

The control is capable of automatically shutting OFF the controlled receptacles when the space is typically |
|
|
unoccupied, either at the receptacle or circuit level. For the automatic time switch control, it incorporates an |
|
|
override control that allows the controlled receptacle to remain ON for no more than 2 hours when an override |
|
|
is initiated and an automatic holiday |

resumes the normally scheduled operation. Countdown timer switches are not be used to comply with the |
|
|
automatic time switch control requirements. The controls meet the requirement of Section 130.5(d)1. |
|
|
|
|
|
There is at least one controlled receptacle within 6 ft from each uncontrolled receptacle. Where receptacles are |
|
|
installed in modular furniture in open office area, at least one controlled receptacle is installed at each |
|
|
workstation. The receptacles meet the requirement of Section 130.5(d)2. |
|

|
There are installed split wired receptacles with at least one controlled and one uncontrolled receptacle. Where |
|
|
receptacles are installed in modular furniture in open office area, at least one controlled receptacle is installed |

|
For hotel and motel guest rooms, there are controlled receptacles for at least |
|
|
receptacles in each guest room. Electric circuits serving controlled receptacles in guestrooms are installed to |
|
|
have captive key controls, occupancy sensing controls, or automatic controls so the power is switched off no |
|
|
longer than 30 minutes after the guest room has been vacated. The receptacles meet the requirement of |
|
|
Section 130.5(d)4. |
|
|
