What should you expect to see
different in your facility?
REQUIRED?
 State vs. Municipality
 ASHRAE 90.1 vs. IECC
 Small Renovations Beware
LIGHTING POWER
 Fluorescent vs. LED
 Outlawed Lighting Styles

FGI GUIDELINES
What should you expect to see
different in your facility?
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SPACES
 Minimum dimensions of
12’x14’
 Minimum 1 room per floor
 Server room must have UPS
 Only equipment and
systems serving
telecommunications space
are allowed in the space
 Direct corridor access is
required
GENERATORS
 Limit sound level to 70 dBA at
nearest building façade
 Minimum 24 hours worth of
on-site fuel
 Can share fuel source with
other systems
POWER DISTRIBUTION
 New panelboards not
permitted in means of
egress
 Receptacle requirement
increases
NURSE CALL
 Nurse call required to be UL
listed
 Duty stations are still
required
 May be required for
outpatient clinics
 Certain applications have
very specific requirements
DEPARTMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS
 Beware of obscure
departmental requirements.
 No coves in Oncology
 Telephone in Obstetrical
Unit
 Indirect lighting in the NICU
 And others…
NFPA-99
What should you expect to see
differently in your facility?
COMM CLOSETS

 Rack Equipment
 New Systems
COMMUNICATIONS
ROOMS
 Cooling
 Dedicated
 Generator
 Branch Circuits
 Dedicated
 Critical Power
BRANCH SEPARATION

 Critical Care (Category 1)
 General Care (Category 2)
 Basic Care (Category 3)
 Support Rooms (Category 4)
 Non-Patient Care (None)
CIRCUIT BREAKER
COORDINATION
 Coordinate with Upstream
 Localize Faults
 Unnecessary Outages
 How to Achieve
 Fused Panelboards
SURGE PROTECTIVE
DEVICES
 Also known as TVSS or SPD
 Required on Life Safety
 Beneficial on Other Branches

MAINTAIN BRANCH
SEPARATION
You have branch separation,
now how do you maintain it?
ONELINE
FLOOR PLANS
PANEL SCHEDULES
EXTENDING
ORGANIZATION TO THE
FACILITY
 Color code conduit
 Match colors on oneline
 Panelboard nameplate
 Panel Name
 Branch and Color code
 System Voltage
 Fed From
 Panel naming convention
 Junction box labeling/Mechanical
Equipment Labeling/Device Plates/Other
Electrical Distribution
PANEL DIRECTORIES
 Typewritten
 Incorporate final room
numbers
 Update as changes occur
 Do not use transitory
conditions
 Spare breaker marking
FACILITY ENFORCEMENT
 Branch Separation Document
 Engage your Engineer
 Standard Procedures
 Contractor Knowledge
 Contractor As-Builts
 How Facility Maintains
 Beware of “Little Projects”
 Benefits on Future Projects
