CHAPTER 9
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
9-1
DESIGN STANDARDS AND CODES. The electrical design for all facilities shall be
in accordance with the current version of the National Electrical Code.
9-1.1
Facility Energy Conservation Requirements. The entire facility design, including
siting, building envelope, plumbing systems, lighting, electrical systems, and HVAC systems
form a complete assembly/structure which is in compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2001.
9-2
DESIGN CALCULATIONS. Provide calculations for the following:
9-2.1
Interior lighting. Provide calculations for each room or area.
9-2.2
Exterior lighting. Provide calculations for all site lighting to include parking areas,
walkways, roadways and security.
9-2.3
Load Analysis for each building to include connected and estimated demand.
Separate loads by categories such as lighting, receptacles, HVAC, special equipment, etc.
9-2.4
Fault short circuit calculations for electrical system(s).
9-2.5
Voltage drop Provide calculations to verify voltage drops. Do not exceed limits as
given in the National Electric code (NEC).
9-2.6
Coordination provide data to verify proper protection and coordination is provided
for the equipment/system(s).
9-3
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. All materials and equipment shall be the standard
catalogued products of manufacturers regularly engaged in the production of such equipment
and material, and shall be the manufacturer's latest design. All equipment and material shall
conform to the requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society
of Testing and Materials (ASTM), National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA),
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or other national trade association as applicable.
Where standards exist, materials and equipment shall bear the label and be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) or other recognized testing organization.
9-3.1
Space requirements. Electrical space shall be provided for all electrical equipment.
Space shall provide clearances and working areas as required by codes. Coordinate location to
consider factors such as ease of maintenance, vicinity to loads being served and accessibility.
9-3.2
Wiring. Shall be copper and shall be run in conduit. Use solid bare copper wire for
sizes No. 8 AWG and smaller diameter, and Class B, stranded bare copper wire for sizes No. 6
AWG and larger diameter.
9-3.3
Motors. Motors shall be high energy efficient type. Motors larger than one-third horse
power shall be three phase. Motors one-third horsepower and smaller shall be single phase.
Motor starters for mechanical and special equipment will be furnished as an integral part of the
mechanical or special systems.
