APPENDICES<br />

• Separate automatic transfer switch for firefighter’s elevator in<br />

high-rise buildings.<br />

• One-hour fire rated conductors (MICC) for life-safety equipment<br />

in high-rise buildings.<br />

• Reduced voltage starters shall be provided for motors 20 HP and<br />

larger unless local codes are more stringent.<br />

• Total voltage drop from electric service to final branch outlet<br />

device shall be 5% or 4% to suit local code.<br />

Is there redundancy in the number of high voltage services serving the main<br />

substation (i.e. more than one)? Two services in a looped configuration is<br />

recommended.<br />

Emergency Power<br />

Is the emergency power generator serving essential equipment?<br />

For high-rise hotels, is the emergency generator suitably sized with capacity<br />

to service the smoke-control and smoke-venting fans?<br />

In resort areas or areas where power outages are frequent or longer than<br />

four (4) hours, has emergency power been extended into guestrooms and<br />

other important areas?<br />

In third world countries or other locations where power is very unreliable,<br />

have provisions been made for 100% emergency power?<br />

Does the emergency generator room layout and design include acoustic<br />

plenums and silencers on the intake and exhaust to limit noise to adjacent<br />

properties?<br />

Lighting Systems<br />

Depending on the project, lighting system equipment is generally divided<br />

into the following responsibilities:<br />

• Back-of-house utility lighting specified by the electrical<br />

engineer, supplied and installed by the electrical contractor.<br />

• Front-of-house lighting (such as downlights) specified by the<br />

electrical engineer, supplied and installed by the electrical<br />

contractor.<br />

• Decorative and architectural grade front-of-house lighting<br />

specified by the interior lighting designer; supplied and installed<br />

by the electrical contractor.<br />

• Exterior decorative lighting specified by the exterior lighting<br />

designer; supplied and installed by the electrical contractor.<br />

• Custom decorative chandeliers, wall sconces and guestroom<br />

lighting specified and/or selected by the interior lighting<br />

team and construction team?<br />
