C405.3.1 Total Connected Interior Lighting Power

Energy Conservation Code 2018 of Colorado > 4 [CE] Commercial Energy Efficiency > C405 Electrical Power and Lighting Systems > C405.3 Interior Lighting Power Requirements (Prescriptive) > C405.3.1 Total Connected Interior Lighting Power
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The total connected interior lighting power shall be determined in accordance with Equation 4-10.

TCLP = [LVL + BLL + LED + TRK + Other] (Equation 4-10)
where:
TCLP = Total connected lighting power (watts).
LVL = For luminaires with lamps connected directly to building power, such as line voltage lamps, the rated wattage of the lamp.
BLL = For luminaires incorporating a ballast or transformer, the rated input wattage of the ballast or transformer when operating that lamp.
LED = For light-emitting diode luminaires with either integral or remote drivers, the rated wattage of the luminaire.
TRK = For lighting track, cable conductor, rail conductor, and plug-in busway systems that allow the addition and relocation of luminaires without rewiring, the wattage shall be one of the following:
  1. The specified wattage of the luminaires, but not less than 8 W per linear foot (25 W/lin m).
  2. The wattage limit of the permanent current-limiting devices protecting the system.
  3. The wattage limit of the transformer supplying the system.
Other = The wattage of all other luminaires and lighting sources not covered previously and associated with interior lighting verified by data supplied by the manufacturer or other approved sources.

The connected power associated with the following lighting equipment and applications is not included in calculating total connected lighting power.
  1. Television broadcast lighting for playing areas in sports arenas.
  2. Emergency lighting automatically off during normal building operation.
  3. Lighting in spaces specifically designed for use by occupants with special lighting needs, including those with visual impairment and other medical and age-related issues.
  4. Casino gaming areas.
  5. Mirror lighting in dressing rooms.
  6. Task lighting for medical and dental purposes that is in addition to general lighting and controlled by an independent control device.
  7. Display lighting for exhibits in galleries, museums and monuments that is in addition to general lighting and controlled by an independent control device.
  8. Lighting for theatrical purposes, including performance, stage, film production and video production.
  9. Lighting for photographic processes.
  10. Lighting integral to equipment or instrumentation and installed by the manufacturer.
  11. Task lighting for plant growth or maintenance.
  12. Advertising signage or directional signage.
  13. Lighting for food warming.
  14. Lighting equipment that is for sale.
  15. Lighting demonstration equipment in lighting education facilities.
  16. Lighting approved because of safety considerations.
  17. Lighting in retail display windows, provided that the display area is enclosed by ceiling-height partitions.
  18. Furniture-mounted supplemental task lighting that is controlled by automatic shutoff.
  19. Exit signs.
