CE226-16	C202 (New), C405.10 (New)	Adds new definition “VOLTAGE DROP”. Adds new Section C405.10 “Voltage drop in feeders and branch circuits”. A limitation on the amount of allowed voltage drop will reduce the energy consumption of buildings and is currently in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016 due to addendum c to Standard 90.1-2013

Cost Impact: Will increase the cost of construction. While this proposed requirement has a theoretical impact on building cost, it is followed in most cases as standard practice;
consequently there is not expected to be an overall cost increase.
	This change is not similar to that of the FEC-C. The FEC-C provides for Florida specific changes to these sections	Overlapping provision to be considered during step 2 of the code change process
