Not having much history in automobile dealership design, does anyone have opinion on service voltage? This is a 70,000 square foot, single-story facility. My inclination is to use a 277/480V service but much of the utilization equipment in the shop (lifts, air comp., etc.) is at 208V.
I still think it may be worth it to provide step down transformers for utilization equipment to eliminate having to feed lighting and rooftop equipment at 120/208V but am curious if I'm "bucking the norm" with this approach?
