A client is deliberating putting part of a new factory building indoors, or leaving it exposed to the elements. If it is indoors, then the room may wind up being Class I Division 2, or even Division 1. The relative costs will be a consideration in the final decision. Does anyone have a rule of thumb that can be applied here?
Consider, for example, a 100? by 150? room. It has overhead fluorescent lights, receptacles along the walls, and a dozen conduits that serve special equipment from a source outside the room.

- If the room is CID2, how much more would the electrical material and labor cost, as compared to an unclassified room? (i.e., Half again as much? Twice as much?)
