This note should be arranged chronologically:

Where NEC, IBC, and other applicable codes fall in this hierarchy
|
|
is subject to some debate.
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
Seek to use the cheapest method,
|
|
as determined by Senior Construction Estimator
|
|
and Database Administrator,
|
|
as allowed for the situation.

## Voltage Drop
|
|
|
|
Unless explicitly stated in the plans or specs,
|
|
conductors are to be sized according to the relevant schedule,
|
|
_without respect for voltage drop_.
|
|
|
|
### Subfeeds
|
|
|
|
1. Read about the project specifications and construction type
|
|
* Delivery Method: (Plans & Specs, Design Build, Design Assist, Preliminary Budget)
|
|
* Corridor Ceiling type
|
|
|
|
2. In the drawings, locate:
|
|
* Unit Panel Schedules
|
|
* Unit Load Calculations
|
|
* Riser Diagram
|
|
* Subfeed schedule (if present)
|
|
|
|

|
TODO: Create flow chart for wiring methods.
|
|
Some cases to mention:
|
|
* Deck thickness (minimum 3x conduit outer diameter)
|
|
* Renovations (may not be able to run in slab)

## Emergency Systems
|
|
|
|
1. Find Fire Alarm plans (if present)
|
|
2. Locate the following rooms:
|
|
* Fire Command Center (FCC)
|
|
* Generator Room
|
|
* Fire Pump Room
|
|
* Elevator Control Rooms
|
|
* Elevator Shafts
