2.7.3.2 No Lighting System Designed

For proposed buildings, where lighting neither exists nor is submitted with design documents (including core and shell buildings), lighting shall comply with but not exceed the requirements of Standard 90.1-2019 Section 9.

  • If space types are known, lighting power shall be determined in accordance with the Space-by-Space Method for the proposed building, as explained in Section 3.4.3 of this document.

If space types are not known, lighting power shall be determined in accordance with the Building Area Method for the proposed building. The lighting power for the baseline building in such cases shall be determined in accordance with Standard 90.1-2019 Table G3.8.
