Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones
Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones APPENDIX D: Building Descriptions The purpose of the Building Descriptions is to assist the user in selecting an appropriate type of building when using the Air Conditioning estimating tools. The selected building type should be the one that most closely matches the actual project. These summaries provide the user with the inputs for the typical buildings. Minor variations from these inputs will occur based on differences in building vintage and climate zone. The Building Descriptions are referenced from the 2004-2005 Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Update Study. It should be noted that the user is required to provide certain inputs for the user’s specific building (e.g. actual conditioned area, city, operating hours, economy cycle, new AC system and new AC system efficiency). The remaining inputs are approximations of the building and are deemed acceptable to the user. If none of the typical building models are determined to be a fair approximation then the user has the option to use the Custom Building approach. The Custom Building option instructs the user how to initiate the Engage Software. The Engage Software is a stand-alone, DOE2 based modeling program.

CLIMATE CHANGE and the CHANGING WATER BALANCE for CALIFORNIA's NORTH FORK FEATHER RIVER Gary J. Freeman1 ABSTRACT Climate
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE CHANGING WATER BALANCE FOR CALIFORNIA’S NORTH FORK FEATHER RIVER Gary J. Freeman1 ABSTRACT Climate change has likely had a large role the changing water balance on northern California’s North Fork Feather River (NFFR) in recent years. In addition to changes in both snowpack quantity and timing of the spring snowmelt, some of its subbasins are also revealing a declining trend in water year (October 1 through September 30) runoff, while others do not. Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) divides the NFFR into multiple subbasins and subbasin reaches for purposes of effectively forecasting runoff and scheduling reservoir releases for hydroelectric operations. In order to effectively manage the hydroelectric resources on this river, at the watershed level as a collective whole, it is important to recognize loss in both data stationarity and trends that change both historical runoff timing and quantity of runoff. NFFR’s complex terrain geometry includes a combination of both windward facing slopes and rain-shadowed leeward slopes that result in a mix of climatic gradients. The combined effect of having relatively low elevation and topographic barriers in the form of mountain ridges provide opportunity for both orographic cooling to take place on the windward slopes and compressional warming to take place on the leeward slopes as the airflow of frontal systems pass through the NFFR Basin. On the leeward, rain- shadowed slopes, air descends and warms quickly through compressional heating. Precipitation amounts quickly diminish as the descending air warms and increases its capacity to hold moisture. Both the Lake Almanor and East Branch of the North Fork Feather (EBNFFR) subbasins are two rain-shadowed subbasins that exhibit a declining trend in water year runoff. -

Section 1, Sierra Sierra Nevada Nevada ~ 10 ~ Once cooled, this magma became a mass of rock called a batholith, and extends hundreds of miles deep. Another clue to the Sierra Nevada’s Batholith geologic history is the occurrence of unusual plant species on the east sides of Yellow and Grizzly Creeks, many of which are on the Forest Service’s Sensitive Plant list. These plants can live here courtesy of rare serpentine soils. -
The Historical Range of Beaver in the Sierra Nevada: a Review of the Evidence
Spring 2012 65 California Fish and Game 98(2):65-80; 2012 The historical range of beaver in the Sierra Nevada: a review of the evidence RICHARD B. LANMAN*, HEIDI PERRYMAN, BROCK DOLMAN, AND CHARLES D. JAMES Institute for Historical Ecology, 556 Van Buren Street, Los Altos, CA 94022, USA (RBL) Worth a Dam, 3704 Mt. Diablo Road, Lafayette, CA 94549, USA (HP) OAEC WATER Institute, 15290 Coleman Valley Road, Occidental, CA 95465, USA (BD) Bureau of Indian Affairs, Northwest Region, Branch of Environmental and Cultural Resources Management, Portland, OR 97232, USA (CDJ) *Correspondent: [email protected] The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) has not been considered native to the mid- or high-elevations of the western Sierra Nevada or along its eastern slope, although this mountain range is adjacent to the mammal’s historical range in the Pit, Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and their tributaries. Current California and Nevada beaver management policies appear to rest on assertions that date from the first half of the twentieth century. This review challenges those long-held assumptions. Novel physical evidence of ancient beaver dams in the north central Sierra (James and Lanman 2012) is here supported by a contemporary and expanded re-evaluation of historical records of occurrence by additional reliable observers, as well as new sources of indirect evidence including newspaper accounts, geographical place names, Native American ethnographic information, and assessments of habitat suitability. Understanding that beaver are native to the Sierra Nevada is important to contemporary management of rapidly expanding beaver populations. These populations were established by translocation, and have been shown to have beneficial effects on fish abundance and diversity in the Sierra Nevada, to stabilize stream incision in montane meadows, and to reduce discharge of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment loads into fragile water bodies such as Lake Tahoe. -
