4.   Lighting Compliance Summary per Specific Application Area

Part E of the OLTG-2C, Page 2 of 3 is for specific application lighting wattage allowance area.

      SPECIFIC LIGHTING APPLICATION is 'listed in Standards Table 140.7-B.

      ILLUMINATED AREA is the calculated area specific to the single application 'listed on this row.

      SPECIFIC APPLICATION ALLOWANCE is the watts per square foot 'listed, dependent on outdoor lighting zone, and found in Standards Table 140.7-B.

      WATTAGE ALLOWED is the product of the SQUARE FEET (column B) and the SPECIFIC APPLICATION ALLOWANCE of column C.

      CODE FOR LUMINAIRE TYPE is the description corresponding to the plans.

      LUMINAIRE TYPE is the description of the lighting type.

      LUMINAIRE Uplight and Glare lumen limits for luminaires over 150 watts, unless exempted such as building façade and sign lighting.

      LUMINAIRE QUANTITY is the number identical luminaires for this single specific application.

      WATTS PER LUMINAIRE is the number of watts the luminaire is rated as determined in accordance with §130.0(c and d). It is not the wattage of the lamp (bulb) or light source installed in the luminaire.

      DESIGN WATTS is the product of the number of identical luminaires (column G) and the watts per luminaire (column H).

      ALLOWED WATTS is the smaller of the wattage allowed in column D or the DESIGN WATTS of column I.

Add up all of the rows for Column J, and insert the Specific application lighting wattage allowance per area into OLTG-1C (Page 4 of 4) Row E.

Outdoor Lighting Mandatory Measures

This portion requests the location of notes clarifying the inclusion of the mandatory requirements. Notes should be included on the plans to demonstrate compliance with mandatory requirements of the Standards.

Following are prototype examples of the notes that should be rewritten to actual conditions. A note for each of the items 'listed should be included, even if the note states “not applicable”.

Determining installed lighting power

Installed lighting power has been determined in accordance with §130.0(c and d).

Controls for inefficient lighting systems

All outdoor incandescent luminaires with lamps rated over 100 W must be controlled by a motion sensor [§130.2(a)].

Outdoor luminaire Uplight and Glare zonal lumen limits

 

Controls to turn off the lights during the day

All permanently installed outdoor lighting must be controlled by a photoelectric switch or astronomical time switch that automatically turns off the outdoor lighting when daylight is available (§130.2(c)1).

Controls to provide the option to turn off a portion of the lights

For lighting of building facades, parking lots, garages, sales and non-sales canopies, and all outdoor sales areas, automatic controls are required to provide the owner with the ability to turn off the lighting or to reduce the lighting power by at least 50 percent but not exceeding 80 percent when the lighting is not needed [§130.2(c)2].

The above notes are only examples of wording. Each mandatory measure that requires a separate note should be 'listed on the plans.

To verify certification, use one of the following options:

      The Energy Hotline (see above) can verify certification of appliances not found in the above directories.

      The Energy Commission’s Web Site includes listings of energy efficient appliances for several appliance types. The web site address is www.energy.ca.gov

Documenting the mandatory measures on the plans is accomplished through a confirmation statement, notes and actual equipment location as identified on the plans. The plans should clearly indicate the location and type of all mandatory control devices; such as motion sensors, photocontrols, astronomical time switches, and automatic time switches.

6.6.7    Certificate of Installation Documents

The Certificates of Installation are primarily used as declarations, signed by a person with an approved license, that what was claimed on the Certificates of Compliance is actually what was installed.

A copy of the completed signed and dated Installation Certificate must be posted at the building site for review by the enforcement agency in conjunction with requests for final inspection for the building. See Section 2.2.3for more information about the Installation Certificate.

Nonresidential outdoor lighting Certificate of Installation documents are 'listed below:

      NRCI-LTO-01-E; Certificate of Installation; Outdoor Lighting

      NRCI-LTO-02-E; Certificate of Installation: Energy Management Control System or Lighting Control System

6.6.8    Instructions for Completing Certificates of Installation

      NRCI-LTO-01-E; Certificate of Installation; Outdoor Lighting

This Certificate of Installation must be submitted for all buildings. This is the general certificate used to declare that what was proposed in the Certificates of Compliance is actually what was installed.

      The table on the second page is used to document how it was determined that the job was installed as it was proposed in the Certificates of Compliance.  On what pages of the plan set does that documentation exist, or what additional documentation validates the installation?NRCI-LTO-02-E; Certificate of Installation: Energy Management Control System or Lighting Control System

This Certificate of Installation must be submitted whenever a lighting control system, and whenever an Energy Management Control System (EMCS), has been installed to comply with any of the outdoor lighting control requirements in the Standards.

If this Certificate of Installation is not submitted, or if all of the appropriate boxes have not been checked, the lighting controls system or the EMCS will not be recognized for compliance with the lighting control requirements in the Standards.

Note that if the control systems are installed to function as an automatic daylighting control, occupancy sensing control, or automatic time-switch control, a Certificate of Acceptance must also be submitted.

Check all appropriate boxes in this certificate as a declaration that the control system has been installed to meet all of the minimum specifications and functionalities.

      Part 1 – Identify if the system is a lighting control system, or an EMCS, by checking the appropriate boxes.

      Part 2 - Lighting Control Functional requirements: Check all boxes that apply to verify the functionality of the Lighting Control System or EMCS.

      Part 3 – Check all boxes to indicate what sections of the Standards the control has been installed to comply with

If this control system or EMCS has been installed to qualify for a Power Adjustment Factor, the NRCI-LTI-05-E must also be submitted.
