Anaheim enforces the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) for new construction and major remodels, requiring water efficiency, construction-waste diversion, low-VOC materials, and EV-ready wiring.
Anaheim Municipal Code Title 15 adopts the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen, Title 24 Part 11) for new buildings and substantial remodels. Mandatory measures include high-efficiency plumbing fixtures, 65 percent construction and demolition waste diversion, low-VOC paints and adhesives, weather-protected construction storage, and EV-ready conduit for new homes and parking facilities. Tier 1 and Tier 2 voluntary measures may be required by specific plans such as the Anaheim Resort. Compliance is verified at plan check and field inspection by Building & Safety. CALGreen overlaps with energy standards in Title 24 Part 6.
Skipping required EV conduit, missing waste-diversion documentation, using prohibited high-VOC products, or installing non-compliant fixtures can stop inspection signoffs and final occupancy.
