NEC 2020 updates now align the NEC with these energy codes, allowing for easier, more consistent installation in the field.
Many commercial structures today are built to specific energy code editions or a standard established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). These efficiencies necessitate extensive revisions to the calculation table used to determine volt-amperes (VA) per square foot. Members of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recently concluded discussions on updating Article 220.12 of the NEC (National Electrical Code) to align with a series of energy codes and to account for higher-efficiency lighting solutions in commercial and healthcare buildings.īecause many of today’s lighting solutions are increasingly energy efficient, lower current demands exist for power systems. Server racks, enclosures & airflow management.
Industrial controls, drives, automation and sensors.Backup power, UPS, surge & IT power distribution.
