A5.209.4.4.1 General Hardscape Lighting Allowance

California Green Building Standards Code 2019 > A6.1 — Voluntary Standards for Health Facilities [OSHPD 1, 2 & 4] > A5.209 [OSHPD 1, 2 & 4] Lighting > A5.209.4 Outdoor Lighting > A5.209.4.4 Calculation of Allowed Lighting Power > A5.209.4.4.1 General Hardscape Lighting Allowance
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Determine the general hardscape lighting power allowances as follows:

A5.209.4.4.1.1

The general hardscape area of a site shall include parking lot(s), roadway(s), driveway(s), sidewalk(s), walkway(s), bikeway(s), plaza(s) and other improved area(s) that are illuminated. In plan view of the site, determine the illuminated hardscape area, which is defined as any hardscape area that is within a square pattern around each luminaire or pole that is ten times the luminaire mounting height with the luminaire in the middle of the pattern, less any areas that are within a building, beyond the hardscape area, beyond property lines or obstructed by a structure. The illuminated hardscape area shall include portions of planters and landscaped areas that are within the lighting application and are less than or equal to 10 feet wide in the short dimensions and are enclosed by hardscape or other improvement on at least three sides. Multiply the illuminated hardscape area by the Area Wattage Allowance (AWA) from Table A5.209.4-A for the appropriate Lighting Zone.

A5.209.4.4.1.2

Determine the perimeter length of the general hardscape area. The total perimeter shall not include portions of hardscape that is not illuminated according to Section A5.209.4.4.1.1 Multiply the hardscape perimeter by the Linear Wattage Allowance (LWA) for hardscape from Table A5.209.4-A for the appropriate lighting zone. The perimeter length for hardscape around landscaped areas and permanent planters shall be determined as follows:
  1. Landscaped areas completely enclosed within the hardscape area and which have width or length less than 10 feet wide, shall not be added to the hardscape perimeter length.
  2. Landscaped areas completely enclosed within the hardscape area and which width or length are a minimum of 10 feet wide, the perimeter of the landscaped areas or permanent planter shall be added to the hardscape perimeter length.
  3. Landscaped edges that are not abutting the hardscape shall not be added to the hardscape perimeter length.

A5.209.4.4.1.3

Determine the Initial Wattage Allowance (IWA) for general hardscape lighting from Table A.209.4-A for the appropriate lighting zone. The hardscape area shall be permitted one IWA per site.

A5.209.4.4.1.4

The general hardscape lighting allowance shall be the sum of the allowed watts determined from Sections A5.209.4.4.1.1, A5.209.4.4.1.2 and A5.209.4.4.1.3 above.
