Minimum Electrical to get C of O

[Skyline]

Are the minimum requirements for number of outlets in a garage the same as those in a house living space?

On a new garage I am planning, the second floor will have an office, and will be finished space immediatly, and will have plenty of outlets. If I want to do the minimum in the garage below, (and leave the walls bare to the studs for the time being), how much do I need to do now?

My current 24x24 gagage has only 3 outlet boxes, one in the back corner, and one in the ceiling of each bay for the openers. It was also wired for a single incadescent in the center of each bay. Two 15A circuits. Can I get away with something like this, (given the bare studs, I would do all in conduit)? I live in NY State. The garage will have a 100A sub-panel, so there will be plenty of room and power to add circuits later.

Needless to say, I would add a whole lot of additional circuits for lights and outlets in the garage after the building was done, and then insulate and finish the walls in the garage. My goal is to get into the building (with a C of O) for the lowest cost possible.

For a detached garage with electricity, NEC requires only one (1) GFCI-protected receptical in the garage to meet code. You should have no problem with your plan to add additional outlets at a future date.

You must also have an overhead light controlled by a switch by the service (people) door, and an exterior stoop light outside the service door. (The exterior stoop light is waived if the area outside the service door is illuminated by an automatic dusk-to-dawn light.)

Thanks for the response. Technically, the garage will be attached, (by a breezeway). I need to add the connection to the main house to get 30' of height vs. 15'. Would that change the requirements?
