In fact many of the interconnected sub-circuits I viewed already showed signs of flashing & charring.

At least in the bathrooms I can interconnect the venting with the lights to force moisture extraction.

That’s why I believe landlords in these areas should take additional steps to prevent the area from declining.From the moral “we are all interconnected” standpoint OR even from the view that it’s a wise business practice, landlords in these areas should address neighborhood needs.Regarding neighborhood revitalization – the best practices for this effort is scatter throughout the web, magazines, and case studies.

Recommended changes to the street and urban design are meant to transform Foster Road from a largely high speed, auto-oriented corridor into a series of interconnected pedestrian-oriented places that are accessible by all transportation modes and support a vibrant mix of businesses and residences.The Foster Road Corridor contains five district nodes: Gateway District, Western Core, Heart of Foster, Green Link, and Crossroads District.Spring 2017 Update: The project has incorporated additional funding from the Fixing Our Streets program to add reconstruction and paving of Foster Road between SE 82nd and 90th Ave.

This has all happened before, people do not change, history does not repeat but it sure rhymes...Learn what happened before, do not say "it cannot happen today, we are too smart, too interconnected, "they" wont let it happen", etc.

The way the industry is structured from my experience the electrician often 'may' oversee the project, but typically you engage with a 'turnkey' solar type company to do all of the following:front end financial analysisget through the regulatory process and most utilities require filing what's called an 'interconnection agreement'bring in an engineer like me to draft plans, as requiredthen once the interconnection has been approved, they shop the install to an electricianoften in house resources from that solar company are used to actually mount panels and do most of the LV wiring, and they will leave the 120/240 etc wiring to the electricianGranted, the above process unfortunately has a lot of 'soft costs' built in that drive up the cost of these types of projects for a homeowner, but they still do pencil out in some cases.  

This isn't a coincidence as that is the exact same time that the national debt began to spike upwards.  30Yr interest rates:  https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...US Debt to GDP ratio:  https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...The entire financial system is interconnected, stocks, bonds, interest rates, whatever. 

New construction required hardwired or wireless interconnected systems. 

Also check your local codes, they may require upgrades like interconnected smoke detectors and AFCI "Arc fault" breakers.

See below:I currently use the interconnected hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in my units with 10 year sealed batteries to satisfy the current, and hopefully future, requirements.
