In reference to NEC Art. 404.2, I don't really like the words "occupiable spaces". I understand habitable rooms, (rooms that we congregate, live in, sleep in.) This section calls out bathrooms, hallways, stairways. habitable rooms, and occupiable spaces. Let's say I have two three-way switches in my kitchen controlling 10 can lights. Am I required to have a neutral at one of the switches? Kitchens are not listed as one of the rooms in 404.2. IMO they are not habitable. I don't hang out in my kitchen and chit chat with buddies. But occupiable spaces????? If I go in my attic or a crawl space under my house, those spaces are now occupied by ME! So I guess those are now occupiable spaces! I look forward to your thoughts.
