C405.2.2 Additional Lighting Controls

Energy Conservation Code 2012 of Nevada > 4 [CE] Commercial Energy Efficiency > C405 Electrical Power and Lighting Systems (Mandatory) > C405.2 Lighting Controls (Mandatory) > C405.2.2 Additional Lighting Controls
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Each area that is required to have a manual control shall also have controls that meet the requirements of Sections C405.2.2.1, C405.2.2.2 and C405.2.2.3.
Exception: Additional lighting controls need not be provided in the following spaces:
  1. Sleeping units.
  2. Spaces where patient care is directly provided.
  3. Spaces where an automatic shutoff would endanger occupant safety or security.
  4. Lighting intended for continuous operation.

C405.2.2.1 Automatic Time Switch Control Devices

Automatic time switch controls shall be installed to control lighting in all areas of the building.
Exception:
  1. Emergency egress lighting does not need to be controlled by an automatic time switch.
  2. Lighting in spaces controlled by occupancy sensors does not need to be controlled by automatic time switch controls.
The automatic time switch control device shall include an override switching device that complies with the following:
  1. The override switch shall be in a readily accessible location;
  2. The override switch shall be located where the lights controlled by the switch are visible; or the switch shall provide a mechanism which announces the area controlled by the switch;
  3. The override switch shall permit manual operation;
  4. The override switch, when initiated, shall permit the controlled lighting to remain on for a maximum of 2 hours; and
  5. Any individual override switch shall control the lighting for a maximum area of 5,000 square feet (465 m2).
Exception: Within malls, arcades, auditoriums, single tenant retail spaces, industrial facilities and arenas:
  1. The time limit shall be permitted to exceed 2 hours provided the override switch is a captive key device; and
  2. The area controlled by the override switch is permitted to exceed 5,000 square feet (465 m2), but shall not exceed 20,000 square feet (1860 m2).

C405.2.2.2 Occupancy Sensors

Occupancy sensors shall be installed in all classrooms, conference/meeting rooms, employee lunch and break rooms, private offices, restrooms, storage rooms and janitorial closets, and other spaces 300 square feet (28 m2) or less enclosed by floor-to-ceiling height partitions. These automatic control devices shall be installed to automatically turn off lights within 30 minutes of all occupants leaving the space, and shall either be manual on or shall be controlled to automatically turn the lighting on to not more than 50 percent power.
Exception: Full automatic-on controls shall be permitted to control lighting in public corridors, stairways, restrooms, primary building entrance areas and lobbies, and areas where manual-on operation would endanger the safety or security of the room or building occupants

C405.2.2.3 Daylight Zone Control

Daylight zones shall be designed such that lights in the daylight zone are controlled independently of general area lighting and are controlled in accordance with either Section C405.2.2.3.1 or Section C405.2.2.3.2. Each daylight control zone shall not exceed 2,500 square feet (232 m2). Contiguous daylight zones adjacent to vertical fenestration are allowed to be controlled by a single controlling device provided that they do not include zones facing more than two adjacent cardinal orientations (i.e., north, east, south, west). Daylight zones under skylights more than 15 feet (4572 mm) from the perimeter shall be controlled separately from daylight zones adjacent to vertical fenestration.
Exception: Daylight zones enclosed by walls or ceiling height partitions and containing two or fewer light fixtures are not required to have a separate switch for general area lighting.

C405.2.2.3.1 Manual Daylighting Controls

Manual controls shall be installed in daylight zones unless automatic controls are installed in accordance with Section C405.2.2.3.2.

C405.2.2.3.2 Automatic Daylighting Controls

Set-point and other controls for calibrating the lighting control device shall be readily accessible.
Daylighting controls device shall be capable of automatically reducing the lighting power in response to available daylight by either one of the following methods:
  1. Continuous dimming using dimming ballasts and daylight-sensing automatic controls that are capable of reducing the power of general lighting in the daylit zone continuously to less than 35 percent of rated power at maximum light output.
  2. Stepped dimming using multi-level switching and daylight-sensing controls that are capable of reducing lighting power automatically. The system shall provide a minimum of two control channels per zone and be installed in a manner such that at least one control step is between 50 percent and 70 percent of design lighting power and another control step is no greater than 35 percent of design power.

C405.2.2.3.3 Multi-Level Lighting Controls

Where multi-level lighting controls are required by this code, the general lighting in the daylight zone shall be separately controlled by at least one multi-level lighting control that reduces the lighting power in response to daylight available in the space. Where the daylit illuminance in the space is greater than the rated illuminance of the general lighting of daylight zones, the general lighting shall be automatically controlled so that its power draw is no greater than 35 percent of its rated power. The multi-level lighting control shall be located so that calibration and set point adjustment controls are readily accessible and separate from the light sensor.
