Modified Lighting Calculator (MLC) Version 13.1.2 Standard Practice - CPUC Staff Review | Utilize the version labeled 'MLC_V13.1.2 (LOCKED) Rev 8.2.23 - FINAL' for all custom lighting projects at the earliest convenience, ensuring implementation within 60 days from August 15, 2023. Notably, this revision marks the incorporation of Multifamily buildings into the tool's scope. The non-residential segment of the tool retains its previous configuration, as seen in version 'MLC_V13.1.2 (LOCKED) Rev 5.5.23 – FINAL'. Note: An error was fixed on September 8, 2023 but the tool functionality remained the same as the version uploaded in August. | 2023 Sep 8 | 2023 Sep 8 | See history | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

RACC-FSC_v3 |
Modifications were made to enable distinguishing between updated EUL values and those previously in use.
The RACC-FSC_v3 shall be used to calculate refrigerant leakage emissions and avoided costs of net refrigerant leakage emissions and perform fuel substitution tests for all measures that involve adding or replacing equipment that uses refrigerant and involves a change to the refrigerant type or to the refrigerant charge —these include most fuel substitution and electric resistance to heat pump measures. The completed RACC-FSC_v3.0—containing the relevant parameters associated with a given measure package—shall be provided as an addendum to each affected measure package in the eTRM. Guidance for how to do so is described in the “RACC-FSC Technical Guidance Document” that was issued along with the RACC-FSC_v3.0 workbook.
*As of the issuance of the RACC-FSC_v3.1, the 2024 ACCs have not been finalized. NOTE: For users without the PostgreSQL driver to enable ODBC connections to the DEER database from within Excel, download and install the version 10.23 file that is most appropriate for your computer from: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads. |
