Electrical Design and COMcheck Compliance for a Full-Service Grocery Store, Wisconsin
Before founding Analemma, Tejesh Bagul, PE worked on the electrical design for a new full-service grocery store, delivered design-build with the electrical contractor, and prepared the COMcheck interior and exterior lighting compliance.

spaces on two levels
Coolers
freezers and prep rooms
Site + interior
lighting in one permit set
The challenge
A grocery store combines a large sales floor with back-of-house prep rooms, walk-in coolers and freezers, receiving docks and a mezzanine of offices. Each kind of space has a different lighting allowance, and the site needed parking lot lighting as well. The set also covered refrigeration electrical schedules, one-line diagrams and power.
What Tejesh delivered
- Worked on the electrical permit set: site lighting, main level and mezzanine lighting, power and signal, roof, one-line and schedules.
- Prepared the COMcheck interior lighting compliance with the Space-by-Space Method, so the sales floor, prep areas, coolers and offices each carried their own allowance, plus the exterior compliance for the site lighting.
- Coordinated with the electrical contractor as the design-build partner.
The result
Interior and exterior lighting both passed COMcheck under the 2009 IECC. Using Space-by-Space let each area be checked against the allowance for its actual use, from the bright sales floor to the cold storage rooms.
