Flag explanation

The jurisdiction's local amendment requires a six-foot (72") clear working space in front of all electrical panels. The project clause states that WH-1's location reduces the clear floor space in front of Panel EP-2 to approximately 18", far short of the 36" the electrical engineer requested and drastically short of the 72" mandated by the local amendment. This is a direct conflict with the code requirement.

Project clause '2':
2. Coordinate WH-1's location with the electrical engineer's Panel EP-2, shown on E-101 on the same wall -- EP-2 requires 36" of dedicated clear working space, and WH-1 as located reduces the usable clear floor space in front of that panel to approximately 18".

These candidates are local amendments to the national model building code (e.g. IBC), not the full code. You may draw on your own general knowledge of standard model-code provisions to judge whether the project clause is consistent with normal practice, but any conflict you report must be grounded in - and cite - one of the local amendment clauses shown above, since those are the only things a human reviewer can independently verify against this jurisdiction's actual adopted text.

Does the project clause conflict with or fail to meet any of these code requirements? Call report_conflicts with your findings, or an empty conflicts list if there's no real conflict.
