2024 SCE C&S Planning and Coordination Key Initiatives Report
Project Number SCE25PC0003 Organization SCE End-use HVAC, Other, Water Heating/DHW/HPWH, Whole Building Sector Agricultural, Commercial, Cross Cutting, Residential Project Year(s) 2024 - 2024Description
This report marks the third annual publication highlighting key initiatives of the SCE P&C program in its five focus elements of decarbonization, grid harmonization, code harmonization, strategic planning and coordination, and program coordination. Key initiatives to advance technology and innovation include the Zero Flame Spread initiative on fire-resistant building materials, the Building Inventory GIS (BIG) Database characterizing all existing buildings in SCE territory, the Bottoms Up Grid Model Advanced Profiles (BUGMAP) tool to simulate building load impacts on an individual circuit, and studies on flexible load potential and on heat pump space heating performance on winter peak. Initiatives also supported the development of new policy and regulation by conducting an inventory of Building Performance Standards (BPS), supporting the development of California Air Resources Board (CARB)’s zero-emission standards as well as the South Coast AQMD’s zero-NOx standards through grid impact analyses. The program continued contributions of subject matter expertise and data to ASHRAE’s Standard 189.1 and CALGreen building standards code, co-chaired an EPRI research program on equitable decarbonization and electrification, and helped host the 2024 ET Summit and the 2024 CalBEM Symposium. In collaboration with SCE’s system planning and engineering organization, initiatives also help develop early insights into customer electrification and built a tool to track pending load projects on the CEQA database.
