I am doing a project with a team that is designing a hotel. I am on the electrical design team. I need some material to show a step by step process of design an electrical system for an entire building (in particular, a hotel). If anyone knows of good material for this that would be great. The more recent the material, the better. Thanks.

 

Any professional engineer that you hire to do the design should have all the info needed. This is not something that you can do yourself.

 

What country?
Regulations and engineering standards differ depending on C. of Origin.

Right. Trump Tower or Motel 6?
You must be joking.
Nobody can answer that without a list of books and most of us are retired.
Our books are old.
I would start you off with NFPA 70-1981 which means I have the 1981 book.
It's still relevant because physics don't change much.
Still, it's almost useless for your needs.

United States. I am aware of the NEC code used for the specific area the project is in.

100 unit hotel. I am becoming familiarized with the NEC code for the area I am working in. The problem is knowing the most efficient way of going about the design process (ie. Designing the layout for the receptacles, lighting, calculating load, short circuit analysis, etc..).

 

It seems a rather grandiose project for your first one?
Mine was a 800 sq ft house!

It sure is. I have to hit the ground running (right out of school). I am truly seeking guidance. I am working for a small company.
