  42. Ballast Factor In Terms of Control • Electronic ballasts are offered with different ballast factors (refer to Advance catalog) • Selection and application of ballast factor can act as a form of lighting control • Reducing the ballast factor reduces light output and saves energy

  43. Ballast Factor Defined • “Measure of light output from lamp operated by commercial ballast, as compared to laboratory standard referenced ballast specified by ANSI.” • You have 3 ballast factor choices when using electronic ballasts: • Normal ballast factor (≈.88) • High ballast factor (≈1.20) • Low Ballast factor (≈.75)

  44. Ballast Factor Is Important • You can control the amount light you need by selecting the correct ballast factor • Low ballast factor = less light and saves energy • High ballast factor = more light and less energy efficient • Know when and where to use the different ballast factors

  45. BF High Power Ballast 1.20 3540 Lumens / lamp 77 Watts Reference Ballast 1.00 2950 Lumens / lamp 64 Watts Normal Power Ballast .87 2567 Lumens / lamp 58 Watts Low Power Ballast .75 2213 Lumens / lamp 51 Watts Lumens 1600 0 800 2400 3200 Ballast Factor & Light Output Performance Comparison of 2 – F32T8 Lamps

  48. Lighting Energy Standards, LEED & Energy Tax Bill “Energy issues overlap different codes.” Four Code Types to Consider • Energy Codes • Safety or Building Codes • Dark Sky Codes or Ordinances • Lamp/Ballast Disposal

  49. Lighting Energy Standards, LEED & Energy Tax Bill “Energy standards are authorized models used to define design criteria to meet or exceed code requirements.” National Energy Standards • ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 – 2004 Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small Office Buildings • IECC – 2003 (next release due January 2006) • USGBC LEED 2.1 (next release 2.2 due First of 2006) • Advanced Buildings Benchmark V1.1 (V2 due spring of 2006) • CHPS (schools only, started in California but followed in Washington and Massachusetts and work has started on a national version) • CEC Title 24 2005

  50. Lighting Energy Standards, LEED & Energy Tax Bill “Energy Codes define the maximum usage, not the optimum design.” Lighting Energy Codes • Determine a power density rate and lighting control requirements for allowable energy consumption for whole buildings, spaces, or occupancy • Typically expressed in Watts per Square Foot (W/SF) as Lighting Power Density (LPD) • Can include minimum efficiencies for equipment typically expressed in Lumens per Watt • States adopt standards or criteria and enforce as code
