ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

At PEI Engineering, our electrical engineers design safe, efficient, and code-compliant power and lighting systems for all building types. Each system is carefully developed to meet project requirements, energy codes, and local authority standards. Our focus is to create reliable, maintainable, and coordinated electrical designs that integrate seamlessly with the architectural and MEP disciplines for successful permitting and construction.

Power Distribution System Design
Layout and sizing of electrical distribution from utility service entrance to panels and equipment, including one-line diagrams, fault current analysis, and panel schedules.

Lighting and Lighting Control Design
Interior and exterior lighting layouts, fixture selection, and control system design compliant with energy codes and local ordinances.

Emergency and Exit Lighting Systems
Design of life-safety lighting and emergency egress illumination in accordance with NFPA 101, IBC, and local codes.

Receptacle and Equipment Power Plans
Design and coordination of receptacles, dedicated circuits, and power connections for all mechanical and architectural systems.

Grounding and Bonding Systems
Design of grounding electrode systems, bonding conductors, and lightning protection interfaces per NEC Article 250.

Fire Alarm Power and Interface Coordination
Electrical coordination for fire alarm control panels, power supplies, and device circuiting to meet NFPA 72 and NEC requirements.

Electrical Load Calculations
Service, feeder, and branch circuit load calculations to verify capacity and code compliance.

Short-Circuit and Coordination Studies (as required)
Calculations and protective device coordination to ensure system safety and reliability for permitting and review.

Utility Service Coordination
Coordination with utility providers for service size, voltage, and transformer requirements, including meter and disconnect layouts.

Construction Documents for Permitting
Complete permit-ready drawings, specifications, and schedules in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local amendments.
