Non-Metallic Barrier Sheathing electrical lines will be used. Electrical lines will be very important as almost nothing can be accomplished without electricity. However, there will be some things that must be considered. Most of the electrical outlets will be at knee height to make it easier for someone in a wheelchair to access the box, and will have 2 USB-C ports for electronics charging. The exception to this will be those that are on kitchen counters, or above bathroom sinks. These outlets will be GFI protected, and will not have USB-C charging ports. The standard outlets will run every 6 feet (about 2 meters) along the walls. While this might seem like overkill, the idea will be to make sure there are enough outlets to meet the needs of the unit.
There will also be solar panels, and a battery bank system. The electricity will draw from the battery bank and the electricity is conditioned to assure there are no surges or spikes that can damage electrical equipment. There will also be whole apartment surge protectors in the circuit panel to provide for even more protection. Since the electricity flows through the battery bank, there will be no power outage (even for a second) which can damage things such as desktop computers, or printers while printing.
Lighting will have a slightly old world charm. Rather than ceiling lights, there will be wall sconces with LED lights. By choosing wall sconces, it will make it easier to replace the bulbs. Otherwise, one might need a ladder to get up to the ceiling light. The sconces will match the color of the walls to not stick out. This is pretty simple and to the point. Since I will use LED bulbs, I probably won’t have to worry about replacing for about 10 years.
For the lights, there will be a slider switch to control the intensity of the lamps, and provide for a more serene environment. If you don’t need the lights on full blast, then why have it on full blast. This will even apply in the bathrooms, and kitchen where the lamps are in the ceiling.
Electricity service is provided by Duquesne Electric. I will hope most if not all of the electricity to be provided by the solar panels. However, I will still be required to opt for a supplier. I will choose the cheapest supplier, as electricity is all the same. Obviously, I will want to keep the electricity bill as low as possible.
