<br />City of San Leandro shall have the authority to approve alternative materials, design and <br />methods of construction or equipment per California Building Code Section 104. <br /> <br />5.106.13.2. Requirements for combustion equipment. <br />Where combustion equipment is allowed per exceptions under Section 5.106.13.1.2 through <br />5.106.13.1.4, the construction drawings shall indicate electrical infrastructure and physical space <br />accommodating the future installation of an electrical heating appliance in the following ways, as <br />certified by a registered 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 the <br />panel supply conductor connection; and <br /> <br />4. Connected subpanels, panelboards, switchboards, busbars, and transformers shall be sized <br />to serve the future electrical heating appliances. The electrical capacity requirements shall <br />be adjusted 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 if <br />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 heating <br />appliances may overlap with non-structural partitions and with the location of currently <br />designed combustion equipment. <br /> <br />
