  5. Learning Objectives • Students will; • Obtain a working knowledge of Chapter 13 of the Florida Building Code. • Compare and evaluate power limiting (watts/sq.ft) requirements pertaining to new, renovated and existing commercial building lighting. • Compare and evaluate control requirements pertaining to new, renovated and existing commercial building lighting. • Identify and differentiate between indoor and outdoor lighting energy related requirements.

  6. History of the Code • In 2001 the Energy Conservation and Protection Act mandated that all states adopt a commercial energy code (ASHRAE 90.1-1999 or something more stringent for Energy standards) • In 2001 Florida adopted only the Power Allowance portion of ASHRAE 90.1 • In 2004 Florida adopted their own code, calling it “The Florida Building Code, Chapter 13-Florida Energy Efficiency for Building Construction 2004” (which remains very similar to ASHRAE 90.1). This code was expanded to include both the Power Allowance and the Lighting Control sections • In 2007 the code was revised and published but not yet adopted • On March 1st of 2009, the revised (2007) Florida Energy code was adopted complete with the 2009 Glitch amendments in their legislative format • This is the Law !!!

  7. Current Codes

  8. Intent & Scope of Energy Code • The provisions of The Florida Building Code - Chapter 13, Florida Energy Efficiency for Building Construction shall regulate: • Building Envelopes • Energy Systems: Mechanical, Electrical, & Illumination Systems for • New building construction • Additions • Alterations • Any change in building configuration

  9. Florida Energy Code - Sections • This code is a statewide code and shall not be made more stringent or lenient by local government. Ch.13 Sections: • Fenestrations (Glazing) • Walls • Doors • Roofs/Ceilings • Floors • Air Infiltration • Space Cooling Systems • Space Heating Systems • Ventilation • Air Distribution Systems • Pumps & Piping • Water Heating Systems • Electric Power • Motors • Lighting

  10. New Construction & Additions • The provisions of this chapter apply to the Lighting Power Density and the Control requirements of: • All commercial occupancy buildings of any size • Additions to existing commercial occupancy buildings • Multiple-family residential buildings 4 stories or more above grade • Interior & Exterior Lighting Alterations & Renovations • Generally treated as New Construction • Replacement of lighting systems must comply • New or replacement control devices must comply

  11. 13-415: Applicable Areas • This section of Chapter 13 shall apply to the following: • Interior Spaces of buildings; • Exterior building features, including facades, illuminated roofs, architectural features, entrances, exits, loading docks, and illuminated canopies; and • 3. Exterior building grounds lighting provided through the building’s electrical service.

  12. 13-415: Exempt Areas * The following are exempt from both the Power Allowance & Controls… • 1. Emergency lighting that is automatically off during normal building operation • (ex: emergency lighting bug-eyes, recessed ceiling drop down emergency units, etc.) • 2. Lighting within living units (ex: individual condo units) • 3. Lighting that is specifically designated as required by a health or life safety statute, ordinance, or regulation • (ex: NFPA 101 – Life Safety states stairs must have 10fc of lighting and lighting for that purpose would be exempt.) • 4. Decorative gas lighting systems • 5. Historic buildings, Federally Mandated buildings, and buildings with a total power density of <1W/ft2

  13. Mandatory: Types of Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.1 Automatic Lighting Shutoff • Required if building is over 5,000 ft2 • Required to control lighting in all spaces (unless exempt) • (3) Options for Controls: • A scheduled basis using time-of-day operated control device that turns lighting off at specific programmed times (Dimming or Relay System with Low Voltage Switches in spaces) • - controls ≤ 25,000ft2 or not more than (1) floor • 2. Occupant Sensor (max setting of 30 min.) • 3. Signal from another control or alarm • device that indicates the area is unoccupied • * You can mix and match the above techniques

  14. Mandatory: Types of Controls • Clarification per the DOE: • A building is clarified as a “Building area surrounded by exterior walls or fire walls.” The following interpretation is per the U.S. Department of Energy, Building Energy Codes Program available online at: http://www.energycodes.gov/training/onlinetraining/video_standard9012004_lighting.stm * Per the DOE, The intent of the code is to apply to business entities where the whole building control is practical (however, up to local electrical plan reviewer interpretation) Ex: If you have a 10,000 square foot strip mall, with (5) 2,000 square foot tenants, and there are fire walls in between each tenant, you DO NOT need to meet the automatic shutoff requirements for each tenant. Ex: If you have a 10,000 square foot, 3-story office building, with (4) 2,000 square foot tenants and 2,000 square feet of common area you DO need to have a control system for the tenants and the building common spaces.

  15. Mandatory: Control Exceptions • 13-415.1.AB.1.1 Automatic Lighting Controls: • Exceptions: • a. Lighting intended for 24-hour operation. • (ex: 24-hour pharmacy, 24-hour shift manufacturing facilities, etc.) • b. Lighting in spaces where patient care is rendered. • (ex: hospital rooms, assisted living suites, etc.) • c. Spaces where an automatic shutoff would endanger the safety or security of the room or building occupant(s). • (ex: mechanical and electrical equipment room, operating room, dental suites, workshops, etc.)

  16. Mandatory: Indiv. Space Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.2 Space Control: • Each space enclosed by ceiling-height partitions shall have at least one control device to independently control the general lighting within a space. • Each control shall be capable of overriding any time-of-day scheduled shut-off control for no more than 4 hours • In ≤10,000 ft2 spaces, each control can serve a max of 2,500 ft2 • In > 10,000 ft2 spaces, each control can serve a max of 10,000 ft2

  17. Mandatory: Indiv. Space Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.2 Space Control: • Controls can be activated: • Automatically by sensing an occupant (oc. sensor) or • Manually by an occupant (oc. sensor with an override button or a low voltage “smart” switch tied to a relay panel) • Each manual device shall be readily accessible and located so the occupants can see the controlled lighting. • Exceptions: • Remote locations are permitted where security or safety are a concern • Remote control must be labeled to identify the controlled lighting • Remote control must have an indicator pilot light on or next to the device

  18. Mandatory: Indiv. Space Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.2 Space Control: • Occupancy Sensors, that turn lights off within 30 min. of an occupant leaving the space are required in the following specific spaces: • Certain Classrooms • Conference/Meeting Rooms • Employee Lunch & Break Rooms • * Reasoning: Because these spaces are rarely used, an occupancy sensor will save more energy than another type of control Exceptions: • If you put an occupancy sensor in these spaces, these spaces are not required to be connected to other automatic lighting shutoff controls. • This requirement does not apply to spaces with multi-scene control, shop classrooms, laboratory classrooms, and preschool through twelfth grade classrooms. (They are treated as any other space & require (1) of the (3) types of mandatory controls!!!)

  19. Mandatory: Additional Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.3 Additional Control: • Controls are required in the following cases: • Hotel and motel guest rooms lighting. Hotel and motel guest rooms and guest suites shall have a master control device at the main room entry that controls all permanently installed luminaires and switched receptacles. • (ex: A card reader that requires you to insert your card when you enter the room in order to turn the lights on. Or a master switch which overrides all other switches in the space. )

  20. Mandatory: Additional Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.3 Additional Control: • Separate controls are required in the following cases: (if additional to ambient lighting) • Display or accent lighting. • Case Lighting. Lighting in cases used for display purposes shall have a separate control device. • Task Lighting. Supplemental task lighting shall have a control device integral to the luminaires or be controlled by a wall mounted control device provided the control device is readily accessible and located so that the occupant can see the controlled lighting. • Non-visual lighting. Lighting for nonvisual applications, such as plant growth and food warming. • Demonstration Lighting. Lighting equipment that is for sale or for demonstration in lighting education.

  21. Mandatory: Exterior Ltg Controls • 13-415.1.AB.1.4 Exterior Lighting Control: • Photocell or astronomical time switch with 10 hour memory for dusk-to-dawn lighting (or) • Lighting not designated as dusk-to-dawn shall be controlled only with an astronomical time switch with 10 hour memory • Exceptions: • Covered vehicle entrances • Exits from buildings or parking structures where required for safety, security, or eye adaptation

  22. Mandatory: Exterior Ltg Efficiency • 13-415.1.AB.2 Exterior Building Grounds Lighting: • Exterior Lighting > 100 Watts must also be > 60 lumens/watt • Exception: the luminaire is controlled by a motion sensor or is exempt under Section 13-415.0 or Section 13-415.AB.1.3)

  23. Mandatory: Tandem Wiring • 13-415.1.AB.3 Tandem Wiring: • This section of the code must only be adhered to if Magnetic ballasts are used (T12 lamps) because magnetic ballasts work best if driving two lamps, not one • One of several exceptions to this section of the code is to use an electronic ballast Mandatory: Exits • 13-415.1.AB.4 Exit Signs: • Internally illuminated exit signs shall not exceed 5 watts per face.

  24. Prescriptive: 2 Methods • This chapter contains two methods to comply with the prescriptive requirements of the code: • Method A: Whole Building Performance Method • Method B: Building Envelope Trade-off Method Question: Who chooses which Method to use? Answer: Typically the Mechanical Engineer running the EnergyGuage FLA/COM software program * Energy compliance printouts from EnergyGuage FLA/COM are required by Florida to be submitted during the permitting stage

  25. Prescriptive: Interior Lighting • 13-415.AB.5 Interior lighting power, Scope • The interior lighting power allowance for a building or a separately metered or permitted portion of a building shall be determined by the: • Space by Space Method – described in section 13-415.B.1 • Trade-Offs of interior lighting power allowance among portions of the building for which a different method of calculation has been used are not permitted • Installed interior lighting power must be < than the Allowed interior lighting power

  26. Prescriptive: Interior Lighting • 13-415.AB.5.1 Installed Interior Lighting Power • Exceptions: • - The 15 Items listed in the next few slides shall NOT be included in BOTH the lighting power allowance and the installed interior lighting power • - However… • - the lighting listed must be in addition to the general lighting • - the lighting listed must be independently controlled

UL labeled wattage of lamp/ballast/driver combination or transformer • Line Voltage Track – max. wattage of luminaires in the system or a min. of 30W per linear foot (whichever is greater) • Low Voltage Track – wattage of the transformer supplying the system • Exception: if two systems are in a space and you can only turn one on at a time

  30. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods 13-415.B.1 Space-By- Space Method of Calculating Interior Lighting Power Allowance (LPA) Determine the appropriate building type from table 13-415.B.1 For each space enclosed by partitions 80 % or greater than the ceiling height determine the floor area Determine the LPA by using the columns designated space-by-space. Multiply the floor area (s) times the allowed Lighting Power Density (LPD) for the space type that most closely represents the proposed use of the space The product is the LPA for the space The interior LPA is the sum of LPA’s for all spaces Note: You can go to the IESNA website to see how ASHRAE and IESNA came up with the LPD for each space. Note: Tradeoffs of Spaces are Allowed (see 13-415.B.1.4) provided that the total installed interior lighting power does not exceed the interior lighting power allowance.

  31. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods Table 13-415.B.1- Lighting Power Densities (LPD) Using the Space-By Space Method

  32. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods Table 13-415.B.1- Continued Lighting Power Densities (LPD) Using the Space-By Space Method

  33. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods Table 13-415.B.1- Continued Lighting Power Densities (LPD) Using the Space-By Space Method

  34. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods Table 13-415.B.1- Continued Lighting Power Densities (LPD) Using the Space-By Space Method

  35. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods Table 13-415.B.1- Continued Lighting Power Densities (LPD) Using the Space-By Space Method

  36. Prescriptive: Calculation Methods Table 13-415.B.1- Continued Lighting Power Densities (LPD) Using the Space-By Space Method In cases where both a common space type and a building specific space type are listed, the building specific space type shall apply.

  37. Prescriptive: Exterior Power Allowances Exterior Building Lighting Power Densities See enclosed table 13-415.AB.2.2 The upper part of the table includes tradable surfaces. An example would be if you used less than the allowable 0.15 W/ft² for the Parking Lots, you could use the left over power in your walkways or possible the outdoor stairways. The lower part of the table includes non tradable surfaces. Each application can be used only for the specific application and cannot be traded between surfaces or with other exterior lighting. It is a use it or lose it application. The total exterior lighting power allowance would be the sum of all individual power allowances plus a bonus of 5%
