Grow Facility Requirements,Pools, Pumps and More

摘要

Are there any special Code requirements that would apply to a cannabis grow facility? All of the requirements of the NEC will apply to these installations. The only specific Code requirements applicable to these venues were added in Article 410, "Luminaires, Lam-pholders, and Lamps," in the 2020 revision cycle for a new Part XVI, Special Provisions for Horticultural Lighting Equipment. The informational note following 410.170 clarifies that lighting equipment identified for horticultural use is designed to provide a spectral characteristic needed for plant growth and can also provide supplemental general illumination within the growing environment. Horticultural lighting must be listed. There are 12 sections in this new part of Article 410 to address requirements that apply only to horticultural lighting.
