AIAOC Lunch Hour Webinar AIA Orange County & Southern California Edison,  A Collaborative Partnership Presents Charging Ahead:  CALGreen EV Requirements for New Construction Course Description:  One of the biggest topics that building owners and operators need to be aware of in 2025 are important changes taking effect for electric vehicles (EVs) and EV infrastructure for California’s Green Building Code.  California is aiming to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by requiring more light, medium, and heavy-duty EV charging opportunities for the increased forecast of EV on California’s roadways.  Part of that solution is providing more charging opportunities in new construction and major retrofits as the customer demand for charging increases.  This training summarizes the new and revised requirements in the California Green Building Code for light, medium, and heavy-duty EV requirements, and directs participants to informational resources that provide more in-depth information. These new requirements are mandated for multiple building types and parking lot designs for new construction and major retrofits.  Join us to begin learning what the new California Green Building Code means to you and your customers. Learning Objectives: Attendees will be able to identify the structure, scope, and applicability of CALGreen Title 24, Part 11 as it relates to EV infrastructure requirements for residential and non‑residential buildings, including mandatory and voluntary provisions. Attendees will learn to interpret key updates in the 2025 CALGreen code cycle, including requirements effective January 2026 affecting EVSE‑installed spaces, connector standards (J3400), and changes to multifamily EV infrastructure classifications. Attendees will learn to apply CALGreen EV requirements to real‑world design scenarios, evaluating impacts on parking layouts, electrical load planning, conduit sizing, and project scope for new construction, additions, and alterations. Attendees will learn to assess the role of Automatic Load Management Systems (ALMS) in meeting CALGreen EV charging requirements while minimizing electrical service upgrades and maintaining code compliance. Attendees will understand how to navigate CALGreen compliance documentation and local enforcement processes, including use of compliance forms, coordination with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), and interpretation of feasibility exceptions for EV infrastructure.
