Electrical Planning Report
An Electrical Planning Report is a broader document that evaluates the entire building’s electrical systems to ensure they meet current and future operational requirements.
Purpose: To provide a complete assessment of the building’s electrical infrastructure—including service size, load distribution, panel capacities, and safety compliance.
- Scope: Covers lighting, mechanical systems, life-safety systems, renewable energy integration (e.g., solar), and emerging loads like EV charging.
- Regulatory Context: Prepared in accordance with the BC Electrical Code, municipal bylaws, and utility requirements (e.g., BC Hydro service upgrades).
- Deliverable: A detailed engineering report with load calculations, upgrade recommendations, and a staged implementation plan, often required for permit applications or capital planning.
