Lighting Design Engineering in South Carolina

Lighting Design Engineering across South Carolina

Engineering practice in South Carolina is regulated by the South Carolina State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. PEs must hold a state license and firms need a certificate of authorization to practice. Sealed drawings for permit must carry the seal of a South Carolina-licensed PE.

South Carolina enforces the South Carolina Energy Standard for commercial construction, which is based on the International Energy Conservation Code and ASCE/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. Local jurisdictions enforce it as part of building code plan review.

Permits and plan review are handled by county and municipal building departments enforcing the statewide building and energy codes. Coastal jurisdictions layer on floodplain, critical-area, and hurricane requirements, and Charleston-area review includes seismic detailing scrutiny that is unusual for the Southeast.
