FAQS
Q. How much does commissioning cost?
A. A good rule of thumb for commissioning costs is $1 to $3 per square foot for new construction and $0.30 to $0.60 per square foot for existing buildings. Costs will vary depending on the level of commissioning and the complexity of the building. Median payback for renovation is 0.7 years and new construction is 4.8 years. It is a great investment.

Last time we discussed the NEC requirements for installing grounding electrodes. This month, we will examine the NEC requirements for grounding electrode conductors and connections to grounding electrodes.
Grounding Electrode Conductors and Connection Requirements
Grounding electrode conductors are permitted by the NEC to be solid or stranded, insulated, covered, or bare. Grounding electrode conductors are permitted to be copper, aluminum, or copper-clad aluminum, but must be resistant to any corrosive condition existing at the installation or be suitably protected against corrosion.
