Ch. 4 Section C402Building Envelope Requirements (Partial)C402.4.8 Recessed Lighting• Recessed luminaires installed in the building’s thermal envelope * shall be sealed to 

limit air leakage between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.  All recessed luminaires shall be IC – rated ** and labeled as having  an air leakage rate of not more than 2.0 cfm when tested in accordance with ASTM E 283 at 1.57 pounds/ft² (psf) pressure differential.   All recessed luminaires shall be sealed with a gasket or caulk  between the housing and interior wall or ceiling  covering.

** IC ratingAn IC (Insulated Contact) rated fixture must, by definition, “be approved for zero clearance insulation cover by and OSHA NRTL laboratory,” such as Underwriters Laboratory (commonly referred to as UL). The reason for the use of IC rating in this case is because it will always meet the air leakage spec shown above.

C405.5.2 Interior Lighting Power

• The total interior lighting power allowance (watts) is determined according to Table C405.5.2(1) using the Building Area Method, or Table C405.5.2(2) using the Space-by-Space Method, for all areas of the building covered in this permit. For the Building Area Method, the interior lighting power allowance is the floor area for each building area type listed in Table C405.5.2(1) times the value from Table C405.5.2(1) for that area. For the purposes of this method, an “area” shall be defined as all contiguous spaces that accommodate or are associated with a single building area type as listed in Table C405.5.2(1). Where this method is used to calculate the total interior lighting power for an entire building, each building area type shall be treated as a separate area.

• For the Space-by-Space Method, the interior lighting power allowance is determined by multiplying the floor area of each space times the value for the space type in Table C405.5.2(2) that most closely represents the proposed use of the space, and then summing the lighting power allowances for all spaces. Tradeoffs among spaces are permitted.

the more specific building area type shall apply.b. First LPD value applies if no less than 30 percent of conditioned floor are is in daylight zones.

Automatic daylighting controls shall be installed in daylight zones and shall meet the requirements of Section C405.2.2.3 in all other cases, second LPD value applies.

C408.3.1 Functional Testing.  Continued

Where occupant sensors, time switches, programmable schedule controls, photo‐sensors or day‐lighting controls are installed, the following procedures shall be performed:

1. Confirm that the placement, sensitivity and time‐out adjustments for occupant sensors yield acceptable performance.

2. Confirm that the time switches and programmable schedule controls are programmed to turn the lights off.

3. Confirm that the placement and sensitivity adjustments for photo‐sensor controls reduce electric light based on the amount of usable daylight in the space as specified.

Steps:

1. Did you use the correct Building Space type?

2. Did you use the correct input wattages for all of the fixtures?

3. Did you design to reasonable illumination levels (IESNA 10th Edition Lighting Handbook)?

4. Did you specify high efficacy lamp sources?

5. Did you specify efficient lighting fixtures?

6. Are you putting the light only where it is needed to create an interesting and IESNA conforming space?

7. Are you utilizing the additional power allowances per code?

8. Are you utilizing all of the exemptions and exceptions per code?

What if your Lighting Design does not comply?

still does not comply?...then you may need to redesign…If needed, we are here to help!
