Electrical Engineering across Texas
Electrical design in Texas coordinates with ERCOT-market utilities for service, metering, and available fault current, and documents lighting and controls to ASHRAE 90.1. Extreme summer heat and Gulf humidity shapes service sizing and equipment selection, and every commercial set is sealed by a Texas-licensed PE.
Engineering in Texas is regulated by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors (TBPELS). Individuals must hold a Texas PE license to offer or perform engineering services, and engineering firms must hold a firm registration with a licensed PE in responsible charge. Sealed drawings are required for most commercial and public-work projects submitted for permit.
Texas enforces a statewide commercial energy code based on ASHRAE Standard 90.1, as amended by the state. Compliance is demonstrated through the local authority having jurisdiction at permit submittal. Texas does not have a mandatory statewide building code, so structural and other provisions follow the IBC edition adopted by each city or county.
Plan review is handled by the local authority having jurisdiction — city building departments in incorporated areas, with counties covering unincorporated areas on a limited basis. Because Texas has no mandatory statewide building code, the adopted code edition varies by city, so confirming the local amendments is the first step on any project.
