recept in a hospice

[K_Mark]

There was a debate in out office this morning about the use of arc trip breakers in bedrooms of a hospice. I said they were needed, but some of the people in th office said they weren't. Any thoughts?

The 2005 NEC has changed the definition of Dwelling unit to match the definition in the IBC.
This change makes it more clear IMHO.

I think it would depend on the occupancy classification it would fall under. If there are more than 16 people than it could be classified a I1, which is an Institutional occupancy.

I wouldn't require AFCI in this case.
