Are UFERs required for dwelling units? Are they required for commercial? Around here there isn't a single home with a UFER, and close to 90% of commercial inspectors let is slide. But after reading article 250, it has me thinking I could be doing something very wrong.
I would think bonding rebar foundation is more important to grounding than ground rods, possibly even the water bond since the foundation is such a large conductive part of the building requiring equal potential.
Also, am I correct to say that with a UFER, other grounding requirements (such as 2 ground rods) become optional?
