| 02/20/2026 | Light Residential Building Review (OIP) - Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | If you have questions regarding this Review, please contact Juan Quintana at juan.quintana@tucsonaz.gov Please resubmit addressing the following comments: 1) In accordance with 2024 IRC Section E3606.5 and 2023 NEC 230.67, a whole-home surge protective device (SPD) will be installed at the service equipment. A Type 2 SPD (minimum 10kA nominal discharge current rating) will be installed integral to the service panel or immediately adjacent to the panel, in compliance with: IRC E3606.5 – Requires surge protection for all services supplying dwelling units. IRC E3606.5.1 (Location) – SPD shall be integral to the service equipment or installed immediately adjacent at the next level distribution equipment. IRC E3606.5.2 (Type) – SPD shall be Type 1 or Type 2. IRC E3606.5.3 (Replacement) – Requirements apply when service equipment is replaced. NEC 230.67 (2023) – Requires a Type 1 or Type 2 SPD for services supplying dwelling units (as well as dormitories, hotel/motel guest rooms, and nursing home patient rooms), installed at or immediately adjacent to the service equipment. The SPD must have a minimum 10kA nominal discharge current rating and is required for new services and service replacements. The SPD will be connected to a dedicated 2-pole breaker within the main service panel (or factory-installed integral unit, if applicable), with conductors kept as short and straight as possible to minimize impedance and ensure proper surge performance. The device will be listed and labeled in accordance with UL requirements. 2) Please verify that this arrangement has been approved by TEP or revise the layout so that the ESS is installed downstream of the DG meter, allowing the meter to measure all PV production. ESR SR-710 13(a) All construction permitted after Jan. 1 2026 shall comply with the 2024 International Building Codes, the 2023 NEC, and all City of Tucson adopted amendments.
