TAG votes down proposal to remove 'electrification readiness' requirement from commercial energy code

The TAG considered a code‑change petition to remove the commercial energy code’s electrification‑readiness provisions (which require space and conduit for future electrical upgrades). Proponent Greg Johnson argued the provision overreaches the energy code because it mandates electrical infrastructure that does not directly affect energy use and suggested the requirement belongs in the electrical code or in other jurisdictions’ regulations.
