The electrical wiring for the MicroHouse will originate at the breaker box, then up into channels above the ceiling, then drop down to the areas for power delivery.

All wiring will be 120V except for the dryer - which requires 220V.

All interior wires will be enclosed in wire "raceways", which will be mounted on the inside wall surfaces, along with matching boxes for switches and receptacles. Raceways are available in multiple sizes and configurations. This choice should be re-visited, as the raceways are normally attached to walls using adhesive tape - and this won't work with CEB walls.

An alternate suggestion is to use a circular saw to cut grooves in the CEB wall surfaces, lay the wires in the grooves and cover with CEB material.
