The 2014 NEC was recently adopted in my area, so I am now having to deal with the added provisions for "Dormitory Units." First off, I find it rather bizarre and intentionally shady that this was not added to the Article 100 definitions. The vast majority of dorm designs I've worked on through the years have just been a room with a closet and no provisions for cooking or restrooms and all wiring has been done in hard conduit. In my opinion I think the rooms I am working on would not require AFCI; however, my opinion is only worth so much. I am planning on posing the question to the AHJ shortly, but wanted to see what everyone else has been running into in regards to this.
Thanks,
