Comparative Performance of Four Prototype Mechanical  Building Cooling Systems in a Desert Climate

Data and result of approximately fifteen months of monitoring of four houses located in the desert climate of Borrego Springs, California. Four houses were constructed using identical floor plans but differing wall materials, and different cooling systems that were designed to reduce energy use in this extreme hot climate. Cooling systems evaluated include a high SEER two-speed air conditioner, an evaporative condenser, two prototype two-stage evaporative coolers, and two floor cooling systems. Detailed monitoring was used to develop performance maps for the air conditioning systems which are compared to manufactures' data. Energy savings for the high performance systems was evaluated relative to a standard 13 SEER air conditioner, and the economic potential of these systems is reviewed. The paper also evaluates the performance of two unique floor cooling systems.

CalEnviroScreen 3.0 Results

<p>CalEnviroScreen is a mapping tool that helps identify California communities that are most affected by many sources of pollution, and where people are often especially vulnerable to pollution’s effects.<br />
CalEnviroScreen uses environmental, health, and socioeconomic information to produce scores for every census tract in the state.<br />
The scores are mapped so that different communities can be compared. An area with a high score is one that experiences a much higher pollution burden than areas with low scores.<br />
CalEnviroScreen ranks communities based on data that are available from state and federal government sources.</p>

State Buildings Sustainability Metrics

<p>This data set lists sustainability metric data for state-owned buildings.  These data are used to track state departments’ progress toward the goals mandated in Executive Order B-18-12.  The metrics tracked in this set are total water use, total energy use, renewable energy generation and LEED certifications.  The data set also includes building information for the 1722 buildings listed including, building name, address, total square footage and use type.  These data are entered by property owners from each state department into the database Energy Star Portfolio Manager.  Most data are obtained by property owner using the utility bill; however, some of the information is automatically fed into the database by the utility company.</p>

Purchase Order Data

<p>The State Contract and Procurement Registration System (SCPRS) was established in 2003, as a centralized database of information on State contracts and purchases over $5000.  eSCPRS represents the data captured in the State's eProcurement (eP) system, Bidsync, as of March 16, 2009.  The data provided is an extract from that system for fiscal years 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015</p>
<p><strong>Data Limitations:</strong><br />
Some purchase orders have multiple UNSPSC numbers, however only first was used to identify the purchase order. Multiple UNSPSC numbers were included to provide additional data for a DGS special event however this affects the formatting of the file. The source system Bidsync is being deprecated and these issues will be resolved in the future as state systems transition to Fi$cal.</p>
<p><strong>Data Collection Methodology:</strong></p>
<p>The data collection process starts with a data file from eSCPRS that is scrubbed and standardized prior to being uploaded into a SQL Server database. There are four primary tables. The Supplier, Department and United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) tables are reference tables. The Supplier and Department tables are updated and mapped to the appropriate numbering schema and naming conventions. The UNSPSC table is used to categorize line item information and requires no further manipulation.  The Purchase Order table contains raw data that requires conversion to the correct data format and mapping to the corresponding data fields. A stacking method is applied to the table to eliminate blanks where needed. Extraneous characters are removed from fields.  The four tables are joined together and queries are executed to update the final Purchase Order Dataset table. Once the scrubbing and standardization process is complete the data is then uploaded into the SQL Server database.</p>

Sustainable Agricultural Land Conservation Program Awards (SALC)

<p>The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) program is a component of the Strategic Growth Council’s Affordable Housing and Sustainability Program (AHSC). The program supports the protection and management of California's agricultural lands through planning and permanent protection of farm and ranch lands via agricultural easements. SALC will prevent increases in GHG emissions by limiting opportunities for expansive, vehicle dependent forms of development in favor of more focused, compact, and transit oriented development within discrete growth boundaries. In future years, SALC is proposed to support farm-scale conservation management practices that further promote reductions in GHG emissions and increases in soil carbon sequestration.</p>

Climate Change Projections for Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP)

To aid applicants with quantification and monetization of benefits of proposed water storage projects per Chapter 8 of Proposition 1 (Water Code section 79750 et. seq.), the California Water Commission (Commission) developed a Technical Reference which was released in August 2016.

These data and model products are companion information to the Technical Reference and were developed to assist applicants for funding under the Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP). The WSIP required applicants for public funding to analyze their proposed projects using climate and sea level conditions for California projected at years 2030 and 2070. 

The data and model products were developed for the following climate and sea level conditions:

- Without-Project 2030 Future Conditions – Year 2030 future condition with projected climate and sea level conditions for a thirty-year period centered at 2030 (climate period 2016-2045)

- Without-Project 2070 Future Conditions – Year 2070 future condition with projected climate and sea level conditions for a thirty-year period centered at 2070 (climate period 2056-2085)

- 1995 Historical Temperature-detrended Conditions (reference) – Year 1995 historical condition with climate and sea level conditions for a thirty-year period centered at 1995 (reference climate period 1981-2010)
 
## California Water Commission

The California Water Commission consists of nine members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate. Seven members are chosen for their expertise related to the control, storage, and beneficial use of water and two are chosen for their knowledge of the environment. The Commission provides a public forum for discussing water issues, advises the Director of the Department of Water Resources on matters within the Department’s jurisdiction, approves rules and regulations, and monitors and reports on the construction and operation of the State Water Project. Proposition 1: The Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act approved by voters in 2014, gave the Commission new responsibilities regarding the distribution of public funds set aside for the public benefits of water storage projects, and developing regulations for the quantification and management of those benefits. In 2018, the Commission approved maximum conditional funding amounts for eight projects in the Water Storage Investment Program.
