Earlier this month, Alberta’s Municipal Affairs[2] issued a new Electrical Standata[3] permitting wire-free switching in new construction projects.

According to a statement released by Levven Electronics[4], a manufacturer of wireless switches, these products offers many benefits, including:

“We appreciate the Alberta government’s leadership in recognizing wire-free switches as a safe method to control power. The wire-free switch is a game-changer. It delivers real benefits for Canadian businesses, environment, and the people using the switch day-to-day,” said Marv Verlage, vice-president of Levven Electronics[4].

Alberta’s Municipal Affairs and the Safety Codes Council jointly publish Electrical Standata bulletins to communicate new interpretations, clarifications, recommended practices, or province-wide variances to the Safety Codes Act. The Standata update pertains to Rules 30-500 to 30-510, Luminaires in Buildings of Residential Occupancy, and can be viewed here[5].
