Electrical Design and COMcheck Lighting Compliance for a Bank Branch, Minnesota
Before founding Analemma, Tejesh Bagul, PE designed the electrical and lighting for a new bank branch with a drive-thru, and prepared the COMcheck lighting compliance for the building and the site under the 2012 IECC.

The challenge
A bank branch packs a lot into a small building: a lobby, teller line, offices, a vault, an ATM room and a drive-thru canopy, plus a lit parking lot and signage. Interior and exterior lighting both needed to meet the energy code, with controls that suit a building that is open in the day and secure at night.
What Tejesh delivered
- Designed the lighting with LED troffers, downlights, wall wash and strip lighting inside, and LED pole, wall and canopy fixtures outside.
- Specified dimming drivers, with integrated daylight and occupancy sensing on the main troffers and occupancy sensors in enclosed rooms.
- Controlled exterior lighting by photocell, and signage by photocell on with a time switch off.
- Ran a site photometric plan and prepared the COMcheck interior and exterior lighting compliance from the final fixture schedule.
The result
Interior and exterior lighting both passed COMcheck under the 2012 IECC. The permit set went out with the lighting, controls and compliance aligned, and two ASIs followed during construction.
