Cabrillo at First Mixed-Use Residential <br /> Air Quality, Global Climate Change, HRA, and Energy Impact Analysis <br /> 91 19386 <br />PROJECT ENERGY DEMANDS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES <br /> <br />Evaluation Criteria <br /> <br />In compliance with Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, this report analyzes the project’s anticipated <br />energy use to determine if the project would: <br /> <br />▪ Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary <br />consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation; or <br />▪ Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. <br /> <br />In addition, Appendix F of the State CEQA Guidelines states that the means of achieving the goal of energy <br />conservation includes the following: <br /> <br />▪ Decreasing overall per capita energy consumption; <br />▪ Decreasing reliance on fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil; and <br />▪ Increasing reliance on renewable energy sources. <br /> <br />Methodology <br /> <br />Information from the CalEEMod 2020.4.0 Daily and Annual Outputs contained in Appendix B and D, utilized <br />for air quality and greenhouse gas analyses in Sections 2 and 4 of this report, were also utilized for this analysis. <br />The CalEEMod outputs detail project related construction equipment, transportation energy demands, and <br />facility energy demands. <br /> <br />Construction Energy Demands <br /> <br />The construction schedule is anticipated to occur between the beginning of mid-May 2022 and mid-August <br />2023 and be completed in one phase. Staging of construction vehicles and equipment will occur on-site. The <br />approximately 15 month schedule is relatively short and the project site is approximately 1.4 acres. <br /> <br />Construction Equipment Electricity Usage Estimates <br /> <br />As stated previously, Electrical service will be provided by Southern California Edison. The focus within this <br />section is the energy implications of the construction process, specifically the power cost from on-site <br />electricity consumption during construction of the proposed project. Based on the 2017 National <br />Construction Estimator, Richard Pray (2017),39 the typical power cost per 1,000 square feet of building <br />construction per month is estimated to be $2.32. The project plans to develop the site with 35 townhome <br />dwelling units, including six live/work units totaling approximately 73,500 square feet. Based on Table 23, the <br />total power cost of the on-site electricity usage during the construction of the proposed project is estimated <br />to be approximately $2,557.80. Furthermore, as of May 14, 2021, SCE’s general service rate schedule (GS-1) <br />is approximately $0.11 per kWh of electricity.40 As shown in Table 23, the total electricity usage from project <br />construction related activities is estimated to be approximately 23,253 kWh. <br /> <br /> <br />39 Pray, Richard. 2017 National Construction Estimator.
