Sedona, AZ Building Safety: Green Building Code (2026)

Section 15.45.010 SCC adopts the International Energy Conservation Code, 2018 Edition, as amended and codified, published by the International Code Council, Inc., including Appendix Chapter CA, Solar Ready Zone, Commercial, and adds a locally written Appendix Chapter CB, Electric Vehicle Ready Parking Areas, Commercial, as the city's own green-building energy standard.

Appendix CB, added at Section 15.45.020(F), applies to any newly permitted structure under the International Building Code with more than nine parking spaces: 5 percent of the total parking spaces must be built EV-charger ready, identified on the construction documents, with at least one EV-capable space in a common-use area available to all residents. Where only one EV-capable space is required, the building needs a dedicated 208/240-volt branch circuit or a listed raceway of at least trade size 1 sized for a future circuit, run from the main service or subpanel and terminated near the planned charger location, with the panel directory holding capacity for a 40-amp minimum dedicated circuit. Multiple required spaces call for construction documents showing raceway routing, amperage and total electrical system capacity sufficient to charge every required space simultaneously at the full rated amperage. Every reserved breaker space and raceway termination point must be permanently marked EV CAPABLE.
