Title 24 Lighting and Electrical Compliance for a Public Library Renovation, California
We delivered the full nonresidential lighting and electrical Title 24 package for a city library renovation. Every section came out compliant.
360 kVA
new electrical service
3 forms
LTI, LTO and ELC
4 of 4
electrical checks compliant
The challenge
The renovation added a new 360 kVA electrical service with a new meter. That put the whole distribution system under the Title 24 electrical rules (Section 130.5), on top of the indoor and outdoor lighting requirements.
What we delivered
- Checked indoor and outdoor lighting against the allowed lighting power and the mandatory control rules, then documented it on the LTI and LTO forms.
- Set up the circuits so energy use can be monitored by load type: HVAC, lighting, plug loads, domestic water and elevators. The single-line diagram shows where each one is metered.
- Covered voltage drop and controlled receptacles on the ELC form, and documented the utility metering exception.
- Put together a fixture cutsheet package so the plan checker could match every fixture on the forms to its product data.
The result
All four ELC checks show as compliant: service metering, load separation, voltage drop and controlled receptacles. The full lighting and electrical forms went to the design team.
