(e) Main Electrical Service Panel. 1. The main electrical service panel shall have a minimum busbar rating of 200 amps. 2. The main electrical service panel shall have a reserved space to allow for the installation of a double pole circuit breaker for a future solar electric installation. The reserved space shall be permanently marked as "For Future Solar Electric". Sec. 9.255. - SECTION 202 OF THE GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AMENDED: SECTION 202 of the Green Building Standards Code is amended to add definitions for "Affordable Housing", "Automatic Load Management Systems (ALMS)", "EV Capable", "Level 1 EV Ready Space", "Level 2 EV Ready Space", and "Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS)" to read as follows: AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Residential buildings that consist entirely of housing that costs no more than 30 percent of gross household income. Housing costs include rent or mortgage payments, utilities, taxes, insurance, homeowner association fees, and other related costs. AUTOMATIC LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (ALMS): A control system which allows multiple electric vehicle chargers or electric vehicle ready chargers to share a circuit or panel and automatically reduce power at each charger, providing the opportunity to reduce electrical infrastructure costs and/or provide demand response capability. ALMS is only allowed for Level 2 Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS), Level 2 EV Ready Spaces, and Level 1 EV Ready Spaces. ALMS systems must be designed to deliver at least 1.4kW to each EVCS, Level 2 EV Ready Spaces, and Level 1 EV Ready Spaces. The connected amperage on-site shall not be lower than the required connected amperage per Part 11, 2019 California Green Building Code for the relevant building types. ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION (EVCS): A parking space that includes installation of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) with a minimum output of 30 amperes connected to a Level 2 EV Ready Space. EVCS installation may be used to satisfy a Level 2 EV Ready Space requirement. ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CAPABLE: A parking space linked to a listed electrical panel with sufficient capacity to provide at least 110/120 volts and 20 amperes to the parking space. Raceways linking the electrical panel and parking space only need to be installed in spaces that will be inaccessible in the future, either trenched underground or where penetrations to walls, floors, or other partitions would otherwise be required for future installation of branch circuits. Raceways must be at least 1" in diameter and may be sized for multiple circuits as allowed by the California Electrical Code.
