When does a building need emergency power? I've heard most buildings, including high rises, don't actually need EM power. Bug eyes will do. Is there any truth to this?

You need to review the adopted building code for the jurisdiction and know the occupancy type. If it were the IBC, look at Chapter 27.
Most new high rises will need a generator for an elevator or smoke control or other iteams that don't lend itself to a battery solution like lighting

I know I've asked it before, but do you have a link the IBC?
