A57 -- Electrical Considerations (I-P)

Production, delivery, and use of electricity involve countless decisions made along the way, by hundreds of people and companies. This chapter focuses on the decisions to be made about the building and equipment. Creating a building that works means including the best designs available, communicating needs and capabilities, and planning ahead. For an owner-occupied building, the benefits of a properly designed building return to the owner throughout the building’s life. For tenant-occupied spaces, good design means fewer problems with tenant and building system interference (e.g., lighting or appliances in one suite disrupting computers in a neighboring suite).
