IECC 505.2.1:
Each area enclosed by walls or floor to ceiling partitions shall have at least one manual control for the lighting serving that area. The required controls shall be located within the area served by the controls or be a remote switch that identifies the lights served and indicates their status.
Does this require a separate switch for every room? I think that's the idea. But I'm reviewing a set of plans that show a common switch in the corridor that shuts off lights to several different rooms. I don't think that complies. Does anyone agree or disagree?
Thanks:
Steve
