Re: CQD answer published Thursday June 23, 2016 -Ceiling Suspended Paddle Fan Height
The International Residential Code (IRC) addresses the height of ceiling fans in Article R305.1 as being 7'.Even though this is a building issue, there are certain things that we as electricians should be aware of. Things like egress lighting, emergency lighting, exit signs, smoke detectors, and ceiling fans. Won't find them in the NEC, but we know they exist.
Remember the bottom line is to avoid unnecessary liability.

Hey Alan thanks for sharing that information, I'm sure our readers will find it useful. You are correct we need to be aware of rules beyond the NEC for some of our work.
