2004 Washi <br />2004 Washington State Nurxesidential Energy Code <br />State Nonresidential Energy Code Compliance Form <br />Lighting - General Requirements <br />1513 L(ghUng Controls. Lighting, inGuding exempt lighting <br />in Section �512, shall comply with this section. Where <br />occupancy sensors are cited, they shatl have the features <br />listed in Section �513.6.1. Where automatic time switches are <br />cited, they shall have the features listed in Section 1513.6.2. <br />�5�3.1 Local Control and Accesstbllfty: Each space, <br />enGosed by wa11s or ceiling-height partitions, shall be provided <br />with lighting controls located within that space. The lighting <br />controls, whether one or more, shall be capable of turning off <br />all lights within the space. The controls shall be readily <br />accessible, at the point of entry/exit, to personnel occupyfng or <br />using the space. <br />EXCEPTIONS: The following lighting controls may be <br />centralized in remote locations: <br />1- Lighting controls for spaces which must be used <br />as a whole. <br />2. Automatic controls. <br />3. Controls requiring trained operators. <br />4. Controls for safety hazards and securiry. <br />1513.2 Area Controls: The maximum lighting power that may <br />be controlled from a single switch or automatic control shall not <br />exceed that which is provided by a twenty ampere circuit <br />loaded to not more than eighty percent. A master control may <br />be installed provided the individual switches retain their <br />capability to function independently. Circuit breakers may not <br />be used as the sole means of switching. <br />EXCEPTIONS: <br />1. Industrial or manufacturing process areas, as <br />may be required for production. <br />2. Areas less than five percent of footprint for <br />footprints over �OO,ppp square feet. <br />1513.3 Daylight Zone Control: All daylighted zones, as <br />defined in Chapter 2, both under overhead glazing and <br />adjacent to vertical glazing, shall be provided with individual <br />controls, or daylight-or occupant-sensing automatic controls, <br />which control the lights independent of general area lighting. <br />Contiguous daylight zones adjacent to vertical glazing are <br />allowed to be controlled by a single co�trolling device provided <br />that they do not indude zones facing more than two adjacent <br />cardinal orientations (.e. north, east, south, west). Daylight <br />zones under overhead glazing more than � 5 feet from the <br />perimeter shall be controlled separately from daylight zones <br />adjacent to vertical glazing. <br />EXCEPTION: <br />Daylight spaces enclosed by walls or ceiling <br />height partitions and containing 2 or fewer light <br />fixtures are not required to have a separate switch for <br />general area lighting. <br />1513.4 Dlsplay, ExhiblUon, and Specialty Llghtlng <br />Controls: All display, exhibition, or specialty lighting shall be <br />controlled independently of general area Iighting. <br />'1513.5 Automatic Shut-0ff Controls, Exterior: Exterior <br />lighting not intended for 24-hour continuous use shall be <br />automatically switched by timer, photocell, or a combination of <br />timer and photocell. Automatic time switches must also have <br />program back-up capabilities, which prevent the loss of <br />program and time settings for at least 10 hours, if power is <br />interrupted. <br />Revised May 20 <br />15�3.6 AutomaUc Shut-0ff Controls, Interior Buildings <br />greater than S,OOp sq. ft. and ail school classrooms shall be <br />equipped with separate automatic controls to shut off the <br />lighting during unoccupied hours. Wkhin these buildings, atl <br />office areas less than 300 ft enclosed by walls or ceiling- <br />height partitions, and all meeting and conference rooms, and <br />ail school Gassrooms, shall be equipped with occupancy <br />sensors that comply Section 1513.6.1. For other spaces, <br />automatic controls may be an occupan�y sensor, time switch, <br />or other device capable of automatically shutting off lighting. <br />EXCEPTIONS: <br />�. Areas that must be continuously illuminated (e.g., <br />24-hour convenience stores), or illuminated in a <br />manner requiring manual operation of the <br />lighting. <br />2. Emergency lighting systems. <br />3. Switching for industrial or manufacturing process <br />facilities as may be required for production. <br />4. Hospitals and laboratory spaces. <br />,5. Areas in which medical or dental tasks are <br />performed are exempt from the occupancy <br />sensor requirement. <br />7513.6.� Occupancy Sensors: Occupancy sensors shall be <br />capable of automatically turning off all the lights in an area, no <br />more than 30 minutes after the area has been vacated. Light <br />fixtures controlled by occupancy sensors shall have a wall- <br />mounted, manual switch capable of tuming off lights when the <br />space is occupied. <br />'1573.6.2 Automat(c Ttme Switches: Automatic time switches <br />shall have a minimum 7 day clock and be capable of being set <br />for 7 different day types per week and incorporate an <br />automatic holiday "shut-ofP' feature, which tums off all loads for <br />at least 24 hours and then resumes normally scheduled <br />operations. Automatic time switches shall also have prograrri <br />back-up capabilities, which prevent jhe loss of program and <br />time settings for at least 1 O hours, if'power is interrupted. <br />Automatic time switches shall incorpprate an over-ride <br />switching device which: <br />a) is readily accessible; <br />b) is located so that a person using the device can see the <br />lights or the areas controlled by the switch, or so that the <br />area being illuminated is annunciated; and <br />c) is manually operated; <br />d) allows the lighting to remain on for no more than two hours <br />when an over-ride is initiated; and <br />e) controls an area not exceeding 5,000 square feet or 5 <br />percent of footprint for footprints over 1 OO,Opp square feet, <br />whichever is greater. <br />15�3.7 Commissloning Requirements: For lighting controls <br />which inGude daylight or occupant sensing automatic controls, <br />automatic shut-off controls, occupancy sensors, or automatic <br />time switches, the lighting controls shall be tested to ensure <br />that control devices, components, equipment and systems are <br />calibrated, adjusted and operate in accordance wfth approved <br />plans and specifications. Sequences of operation shall be <br />functionally tested to ensure they operate in accordance with <br />approved plans and specifications. A complete report of test <br />procedures and results shall be prepared and filed with the <br />owner. Drawing notes shall require commissioning in <br />accordance with this paragraph. <br />��5 <br />
