I suppose it depends on the state...there must be a provision in the Wisconsin UBC that allows electricity-free housing as there are large Amish communities around the state.

What immediately comes to mind is there’s probably a code requirement for hard-wired smoke detectors.

What makes you think Amish don't use electricity? Is it the lack of power lines leading to the house?

Ever go by one of those houses as night? It's not flickering candles you're seeing in the windows.
