The construction industry’s efficiency gains have essentially flattened over the past 70 years. And while many other industries are thinking about "going digital", construction ranks 21 out of 22 industries in terms of digitization. There’s only 5% digital penetration. This is an opportunity to reinvent the role of the electrical contractor.

Evolving codes and standards
Every three years, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) collaborates with industry experts to update the NEC based on new standards in electrical safety and advances in electrical design and technology. These efforts reduce hazards such as shock, arc flash, and arc blast. In a nutshell, buildings and people are safer because of the NEC.
For 2020, some of the most significant updates involve service equipment such as panelboards, switchboards, switchgear, transfer switches, and enclosed switches.
