NEC 2008 ~ An existing building with mercantile first floor and two dwelling units on the second floor, panel is completely replaced. What is the requirement (if any) for requiring ARC fault and GFI to be added (assuming none existed originally)? If no requirement (and, I can't find one in the NEC), as an AHJ, do you think I can reasonably require such under chapter 34 or section 115 (or other)?
Also, what about smoke alarms/detection? Is there anywhere that has a similar standard to IRC Section 313 but under the IBC?
thank you,
