Following is New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC) information regarding certain Department forms:
Electrical Permit Application
Electrical permit applications (ED16A filings) must be submitted through DOB NOW: Build.
Licensed Master and Special Electricians are required to comply with all applicable codes, including the NYCECC, but they are neither required nor authorized to design. Therefore, when there is electrical work on electrical drawings or drawings of other disciplines that needs to comply with the NYCECC, the Licensed Master or Special Electrician must install work in conformance with those approved drawings. The Licensed Master or Special Electrician’s work will be inspected by progress inspector(s) prior to construction sign-off for such compliance with approved drawings, in addition to electrical inspections by the Electrical Division.
Where the work of an electrical permit application is minimal, requiring only simple lighting power density calculations for the energy analysis, and when there is no construction application being filed during the same period in which the lighting design would properly be included, the licensed master or special electrician may elect to create, stamp and sign the energy analysis. In such a case, the energy analysis must be presented to the Department’s electrical inspector at the sign-off inspection for energy efficiency approval of the electrical work and for Department records.
