We have an assisted living project that has independent living (basically apartments) will be wire per 2011 code. The assisted living and memory care units do not have provisions for cooking in the units, so in my opinion not a dwelling unit? The engineer contends that "the intent of the code is to provide an enhanced level of protection to people where they live". He said arc fault circuits should not be eliminated over a "technical argument", I just consider him wrong, and they are not required. I'm curious what other opinions might be.
