ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

With the replacement of the main transformer on the first floor,

any major issues should be handled. The existing electrical

system appears to be in good working order.

With the renovations/upgrades, the electrical systems will

need to be reconfigured/extended. With this work, all areas

should be reviewed to ensure they are code compliant and

have sufficient power and lighting for the facility’s needs.

As a matter of course, we recommend that all new and

replacement lighting be LED type fixtures. All rooms should be Occupancy Sensors

equipped with occupancy sensors, and certain common areas

can benefit from daylight sensors to dim when daylight is

sufficient.

With today’s technologies and proliferation of electronic

devices, it is imperative that sufficient power outlets and

charging stations be incorporated into the design. It is

assumed that the Center will have its own WiFi system for the

users. There will also be some hardwired data ports needed

for staff. Space utilization and furniture layouts should be

carefully considered so that floor outlets can be accurately

located for installation during the renovations. LED Light Bulb
