[Greenbuilding] Floor electrical outlets in Ontario House

[Lynelle Hamilton]

This isn't a "green building" question, but the house involved is 
attempting to be built green. I am using Nexcem/Durisol and would prefer 
not to cut into the block for the wall outlets that fall on the exterior 
walls. I'd like to install floor outlets in place of the wall outlets. I 
have had conflicting information as to whether these are code in Ontario 
Canada residential construction.  I've heard that the OBC does not 
discuss floor outlets in residential construction, so therefore they're 
not OK, but also heard that they are not prohibited. No one has given me 
a specific code reference, though.

Has anyone had experience with using floor outlets in lieu of wall 
outlets in Ontario or knows how this situation is treated?

Many thanks!

Lynelle Hamilton
