<br />4.106.5.2 Requirements for combustion equipment. <br />Where combustion equipment is allowed per Exceptions under 4.106.5.1.3, the construction <br />drawings shall indicate electrical infrastructure and physical space accommodating the future <br />installation of an electrical heating appliance in the following ways, as certified by a registered <br />design professional or licensed electrical contractor: <br /> <br />1. Branch circuit wiring, electrically isolated and designed to serve all electrical heating <br />appliances in accordance with manufacturer requirements and the California Electrical <br />Code, including the appropriate voltage, phase, minimum amperage, and an electrical <br />receptacle or junction box within five feet of the appliance that is accessible with no <br />obstructions. Appropriately sized conduit may be installed in lieu of conductors; and <br /> <br />2. Labeling of both ends of the unused conductors or conduit shall be with “For Future <br />Electrical Appliance”; and <br /> <br />3. Reserved circuit breakers in the electrical panel for each branch circuit, appropriately <br />labeled (i.e “Reserved for Future Electric Range”), and positioned on the opposite end of <br />the panel supply conductor connection; and <br /> <br />4. Connected subpanels, panelboards, switchboards, and busbars shall be sized to serve the <br />future electrical heating appliances. The electrical capacity requirements shall be adjusted <br />for demand factors in accordance with the California Electric Code; and <br /> <br />5. Physical space for future electrical heating appliances, including equipment footprint, and <br />if needed a pathway reserved for routing of ductwork to heat pump evaporator(s), shall be <br />depicted on the construction drawings. The footprint necessary for future electrical <br />heating appliances may overlap with non-structural partitions and with the location of <br />currently designed combustion equipment. <br /> <br />Chapter 5. NONRESIDENTIAL MANDATORY MEASURES – Amended. <br /> <br />Section 5.106.5.3 – Amended. <br /> <br />5.106.5.3 Electric vehicle (EV) charging. [N] Construction to provide electric vehicle <br />infrastructure and facilitate electric vehicle charging shall comply with Section 5.106.5.3 and <br />shall be provided in accordance with regulations in the California Building Code and the <br />California Electrical Code. Accessible EVCS shall be provided in accordance with the <br />California Building Code Chapter 11B Section 11B-228.3. For EVCS signs, refer to Caltrans <br />Traffic Operations Policy Directive 13-01 (Zero Emission Vehicle Signs and Pavement <br />Markings) or its successor(s). <br /> <br />Exceptions: <br /> <br />1. On a case-by-case basis where the local enforcing agency has determined compliance <br />with this section is not feasible based upon one of the following conditions:
