Santa Monica Draft Zero Emission Building Code Released

May, 2022

Santa Monica recently released a draft 2023 Zero Emission Building Code. The policy requires new buildings to be all-electric. Existing buildings that are demolished and rebuilt would have to comply, as well as ADUs that are detached from existing structures.

Cooking appliances in commercial kitchens are exempt from the policy.

The policy is expected to go into effect on January 1, 2023.
