Submetering Panelboards Help Owners Track Energy Use Chuck Ross 
Submetering – the ability to track electricity use by individual
circuits – is becoming increasingly important, thanks to increased
attention in a number of state and national building codes. For example,
the latest edition of the California Energy Commission’s Title 24
energy code is requiring the ability to submeter by building system in
new construction and major renovation projects. And even where local
codes might not require it, submetering can be very useful for owners of
multi-tenant buildings who want to fairly allocate monthly utility
expenses to individual tenants.
Poke-through Devices and Applications Steve Maurer, IME 
Earlier this year, I attended a seminar in Austin, Texas. The seminar
was held in a large conference room, located on the upper floor of a
popular hotel.The room was fitted with double gang outlets on the back and right-hand wall. All the power to the attendees' laptops and other electronic equipment was powered from that side wall. Bigger Isn’t Always Better When it Comes to Panelboards Chuck Ross 
Size can be an important consideration when it comes to specifying
panelboards, and in this case, bigger isn’t always better. Electrical
closets take up valuable real estate, especially in smaller office and
retail settings, so contractors often are seeking the smallest products
that will safely meet their customers’ needs and maybe even allow some
room for future expansion.
