NEMA BI 50002-2022

New requirements for reducing energy consumption in commercial buildings are here. Standards such as CA Title 24 and ASHRAE 90.1 and now the 2021 IECC require that at least 50 percent of all receptacles in designated spaces of a building be “controllable”— automatically turning off when the spaces become unoccupied and on when occupied. This white paper will explain the controlled receptacle requirement in commercial building energy codes, as well as a summary of typical application settings.
