• The daylight control reference point(s) shall be located at the center of the width and at the depth of the primary sidelighted area. If the primary sidelighted area includes apertures with orientations that differ by more than 45 degrees, then the model shall include one daylight control reference point for each orientation. (Note: if the modeling tool is limited by the number of daylight control reference points allowed per zone then the number of zones modeled may need to be increased.)

o Continuous Dimming: Light output and power shall both decrease continuously to 33 percent of peak output and power.
• The daylight control reference point(s) shall be located at the center of the width and at the depth of the primary sidelighted area. If the primary sidelighted area includes apertures with orientations that differ by more than 45 degrees, then the model shall include one daylight control reference point for each orientation. (Note: if the modeling tool is limited by the number of daylight control reference points allowed per zone then the number of zones modeled may need to be increased.)

e. A list identifying those aspects of the proposed design that are less stringent than the requirements of 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.4, 9.2.2.4, 9.5, and 9.6 (prescriptive provisions).
The entry in the "Baseline Building Performance" column of Section 6 of Table G3.1 in Normative Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2010 shall be deemed to be amended to read as follows:
Lighting power in the baseline building design shall be determined using the same categorization procedure (building area or space-by-space method) and categories as the proposed design with lighting power set equal to the maximum allowed for the corresponding method and category in Section 9.2. Lighting shall be modeled having the automatic and manual controls required in Section 9.2.2.4 and 9.4. No additional automatic lighting controls shall be modeled in the baseline building design, as the lighting schedules used are understood to reflect the mandatory control requirements in this standard.
Automatic Daylighting Controls for Primary Sidelighted Areas shall be modeled with the following parameters:
• Light Output and Power Fractions shall be as follows based on type of dimming control modeled:
o Stepped Dimming: Light output and power shall decrease in equivalent steps of 100 percent, 66 percent, and 33 percent; or
o Continuous Dimming: Light output and power shall both decrease continuously to 33 percent of peak output and power.
• The daylight control reference point(s) shall be located at the center of the width and at the depth of the primary sidelighted area. If the primary sidelighted area includes apertures with orientations that differ by more than 45 degrees, then the model shall include one daylight control reference point for each orientation. (Note: if the modeling tool is limited by the number of daylight control reference points allowed per zone then number of zones modeled may need to be increased.)
• The fraction of lighting power affected by the daylight control shall be equal to the primary sidelighted area divided by the total area within a thermal block.
• Illumination setpoint(s) shall be as follows:

The following item shall be deemed to be added to the "Proposed Building Performance" column of Section 12 of Table G3.1 in Normative Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2010:
If voltage drop in the proposed design is greater than the requirements of Section 8.4, then voltage drop shall be included when calculating the proposed building performance, and the voltage drop shall be based upon that in the proposed design.
The following items shall be deemed to be added to the "Baseline Building Performance" column of Section 12 of Table G3.1 in Normative Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2010:
If voltage drop in the proposed design is greater than the requirements of Section 8.4, then voltage drop shall be included when calculating the baseline building performance, and the voltage drop shall be based upon requirements Section 8.4, as applied to the baseline building.
When the proposed design does not meet the requirements in 8.4.2 for Automated Receptacle Control, then the baseline building performance shall include Automated Receptacle Control per 8.4.2, and the baseline building performance calculations shall reflect the following reductions in the connected receptacle load for 50% of receptacle loads subject to 8.4.2:
