SECTION 808 ELECTRICAL

808.1 New installations.

All new electrical equipment and wiring relating to work done in any work area must comply with the
materials and methods requirements of Chapter 7.
Building Code Justification: Given the age of the building new wiring must be ran in order to be up to
code with safety regulations.

SECTION 811 ENERGY CONSERVATION

811.1 Minimum requirements.
Level 2 alterations to existing buildings or structures are permitted without requiring the entire building
or structure to comply with the energy requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code or
International Residential Code. The alterations shall conform to the energy requirements of the
International Energy Conservation Code or International Residential Code as they relate to new
construction only.
Building Code Justification: The building is not required to be completely redone to comply with said
requirements but rather sections or places of said building.

Question 3:
Select a topic from the ones listed above and discuss why you feel the surrounding factors
demanded code compliance.
Answer:
Code Compliance: Given the year the building was built all new wiring will need to be ran in
order to comply with the electrical code. This also gives a chance to update all wiring for new
appliances and equipment (i.e. 220 hook up for newer model ranges, dryers, water heaters, or air
conditioners) Gives the opportunity to add wiring for more lights if needed
