    New code requirements will be adopted this year based on the 2008 electrical code.The new code requires many significant changes which impact job costs.
    The significant changes include: tamper resistant receptacles, additional combination arc fault breakers, luminary requirements, and additional temperature adjustment factors for conductors and cables installed in raceways on roof tops. Multi-wire branch circuits will have to have circuit breakers that shut off all hot conductors to a given neutral conductor (grounded). Aside, from new NEC requirements, the city of Austin will be adopting a new design criteria manual and possible amendments to the 2008 NEC.
    This is important to recognize if you want to get the job done in a timely manner without permit inspection failures.
