  1. Lighting that is controlled with dimmers or controlled in accordance with Section 9.4.1.1(h).
  2. Hotel/motel guest rooms. The requirements for hotel/motel guest rooms are covered in Table 9.6.1 and Section 9.4.1.3(b).

9.5 Building Area Method Compliance Path

9.5.1 Building Area Method of Calculating Interior Lighting Power Allowance

Use the following steps to determine the interior lighting power allowance by the Building Area Method:
  1. Determine the appropriate building area type from Table 9.5.1 and the corresponding LPD allowance. For building area types not listed, selection of a reasonably equivalent type shall be permitted.
  2. Determine the gross lighted floor area in ft2 of the building area type.
  3. Multiply the gross lighted floor areas of the building area types times the LPD.
  4. The interior lighting power allowance for the building is the sum of the lighting power allowances of all building area types. Trade-offs among building area types are permitted, provided that the total installed interior lighting power does not exceed the interior lighting power allowance.

9.6 Alternative Compliance Path: Space-by-Space Method

9.6.1 Space-by-Space Method of Calculating Interior Lighting Power Allowance

Use the following steps to determine the interior lighting power allowance by the Space-by-Space Method:
  1. For each space enclosed by partitions that are 80% of the ceiling height or taller, determine the appropriate space type and the corresponding LPD allowance from Table 9.6.1. If a space has multiple functions, where more than one space type is applicable, that space shall be broken up into smaller subspaces, each using its own space type from Table 9.6.1. Any of these subspaces that are smaller in floor area than 20% of the original space and less than 1000 ft2 need not be broken out separately. Include the floor area of balconies and other projections in this calculation.
  2. In calculating the area of each space and subspace, the limits of the area are defined by the centerline of interior walls, the dividing line between subspaces, and the outside surface of exterior walls or semiexterior walls. For the purposes of this section, semiexterior walls that separate semiheated space from conditioned space shall be considered interior walls.
  3. Based on the space type selected for each space or subspace, determine the lighting power allowance of each space or subspace by multiplying the calculated area of the space or subspace by the appropriate LPD allowance determined in Section 9.6.1(a). For space types not listed, selection of a reasonable equivalent category shall be permitted.
  4. The interior lighting power allowance is the sum of lighting power allowances of all spaces and subspaces. Trade-offs among spaces and subspaces are permitted, provided that the total installed interior lighting power does not exceed the interior lighting power allowance.

9.6.2 Additional Interior Lighting Power

When using the Space-by-Space Method, an increase in the interior lighting power allowance is allowed for specific lighting functions. Additional power shall be allowed only if the specified lighting is installed and controlled independently of the general lighting in accordance with Section 9.4.1.1(j). This additional power shall be used only for the specified luminaires and shall not be used for any other purpose unless otherwise indicated. Lighting control requirements referenced in Section 9.6.2, are the only required controls for these applications.
An increase in the interior lighting power allowance is permitted in the following cases:
  1. For each spaces in which lighting is specified to be installed in addition to the general lighting for the purpose of decorative appearance or for highlighting art or exhibits not exempted in Item 11 of Table 9.2.2.3, provided that the additional lighting power shall not exceed 0.75 W/ft2 of such spaces.
  2. For lighting equipment installed in sales areas and specifically designed and directed to highlight merchandise, calculate the additional lighting power as follows:
Additional Interior Lighting Power Allowance =
1000 W + (Retail Area 1 × 0.45 W/ft2) + (Retail Area 2 × 0.45 W/ft2)
+ (Retail Area 3 × 1.05 W/ft2) + (Retail Area 4 × 1.88 W/ft2)
where
Retail Area 1 = the floor area for all products not listed in Retail Areas 2, 3, or 4
Retail Area 2 = the floor area used for the sale of vehicles, sporting goods, and small electronics
Retail Area 3 = the floor area used for the sale of furniture, clothing, cosmetics, and artwork
Retail Area 4 = the floor area used for the sale of jewelry, crystal, and china
Exception to 9.6.2
Other merchandise categories may be included in Retail Areas 2 through 4 above, provided that justification documenting the need for additional lighting power based on visual inspection, contrast, or other critical display is approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

9.6.3 Additional Interior Lighting Power Using Nonmandatory Controls

An additional lighting power allowance shall be permitted for space types with nonmandatory controls installed as identified in Table 9.6.3 when all mandatory controls are used according to Section 9.4. This allowance is added to the interior lighting power allowance and is calculated as follows:
Additional Interior Lighting Power Allowance =
Lighting Power Under Control × Control Factor
where
Lighting Power Under Control = the total input watts of all lamps being controlled using the control method indicated
Control Factor = the value given in Table 9.6.3 for the corresponding space type and control method
Table 9.6.3 Control Factors Used in Calculating Additional Interior Lighting Power Allowance

Automatic continuous daylight dimming in secondary sidelighted areas 0.10c 0.10c 0.10c 0.10c 0.10c
  1. Control factor is limited to workstation-specific luminaires in partitioned single occupant work spaces contained within an open office environment (i.e. direct-indirect luminaires with separately controlled downlight and uplight components, with the downward component providing illumination to a single occupant in an open plan workstation). Within 30 minutes of the occupant leaving the space, the downward component shall continuously dim to off over a minimum of two minutes. Upon the occupant entering the space, the downward component shall turn on at the minimum level and continuously raise the illumination to a preset level over a minimum of 30 seconds. The uplight component of workstation specific luminaire shall comply with Section 9.4.1.1(h) (automatic full off).
  2. In addition to the requirements described in footnote (a), the control shall allow the occupant to select their preferred light level via a personal computer, handheld device, or similarly accessible device located within the workstation.
  3. Control factors may not be used if controls are used to satisfy exceptions to Section 5.5.4.2.3

9.6.4 Room Geometry Adjustment

When using the Space-by-Space Method, an adjustment of the space LPD allowance is permitted for individual spaces where room cavity ratio (RCR) calculated for the empty room is documented to be greater than the RCR threshold for that space type shown in Table 9.6.1.
RCR = 2.5 × Room Cavity Height × Room Perimeter Length/Room Area
where Room Cavity Height = Luminaire Mounting Height — Workplane.
For corridor/transition spaces, this adjustment is allowed when the corridor is less than 8 ft wide, regardless of the RCR.
The LPD allowance for these spaces may be increased by the following amount:
LPD Increase = Base Space LPD × 0.20
where Base Space LPD = the applicable LPD allowance from Table 9.6.1.

9.7 Submittals
