  • When installing ESS in a garage, provide a floor plan showing the ESS is out of the path of any vehicles. INCLUDE GARAGE DIMENSIONS
  • If the ESS will be placed near a return wall, show the depth of the return wall and the depth of the battery to demonstrate that the battery will not extend past the return wall.
  • If using BOLLARDS, show detail of installation
  • If battery is wall mounted 36" above the floor, include this note instead: [Per 2021 IFC 1207.11.7.1 Exception, ESS is mounted 3' above finished floor and garage opening is less than 7'-6", therefore vehicle impact protection is not required.]
  • Show Smoke Alarm and Heat Sensor on elevation drawings when batteries are installed inside the garage.
