Receptacles specifically designated for equipment required 24 hour operation.ī. a signal from another control or alarm system that indicates the area is unoccupied.Įxceptions: Receptacles for the following shall not require an automatic control device:Ī.

ASHRAE 90.1 PLUG LOAD CONTROL CODE
The provisions for electrical distribution for all sections of this code are subject to the design conditions in ASHRAE Standard 90.1. This section applies to all building power distribution systems.
The one I am talking about is for the control of receptacles which to be honest with you I am not thrilled about and think it just creates a headache for the electrician. In this case I am surprised that they did not just explicitly list the code requirements which then forces you to have access to the ASHRAE 90 standards. The Florida Building Code (FBC) Commercial Energy Code in section 405 which governs electrical has a section for electrical power which does not have its own verbiage but instead points directly to ASHRAE 90.1.
