Inta 212: Codes Analysis Chart COMPLETED BY: Melisa Nervaiz
Select a topic from Part I and discuss three reasons why you feel the topic demands code compliance in
residential design. Explain what could happen if code compliance is not met for this topic.
In order to insure the safety of the owners and future tenants it is important to be compliant with these electrical
codes. When doing this renovation it is important to make sure the building can handle whatever will be plugged in
to avoid a fire. Sometimes when there are not enough electrical receptacle outlets people tend to use power cords.
If too many things are plugged in it can result in a power surge or even a fire. It is important to be able to consider
safety in this matter. Also if existing wring is not met to code this could eventually result in a fire as well.
Renovations cannot continue if a building inspector sees this for it is putting people harm. Last reason is by doing
it right the first time you avoid future problems. This will make things more cost effective for the client in the long
run.
