This is the fifth of several courses covering the changes in the 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) created by the NFPA®. The 2014 NEC provides an accurate, reliable, and authoritative account of the hundreds of significant revisions in the 2014 Code.

This course provides coverage of significant changes in the 2014 National Electrical Code®. With every new edition of the NEC, some of the changes include new requirements to sections, while some of the changes include entirely new articles. Some changes are revisions to existing requirements while others are deletions to some existing requirements.

Chapter 5 is the first of three NEC chapters dealing with special topics.

Special Occupancy is a location where the facility or use of the physical facility creates specific conditions that require additional measures to ensure the “practical safeguarding of people and property” consistent with the purpose of the NEC.
