LOS ANGELES—New buildings in Los Angeles will be required to be all-electric under a policy approved by the city council Dec. 7 as part of a movement to reduce carbon emissions in the city.

The requirement applies to buildings approved after April 1, and affordable housing projects approved after June 1 of next year. Accessory dwelling units and cooking equipment for restaurants are exempt.
