<br />Lighting - General Requirements
<br />1513 Lighting Co.itrols. Lighting, including exempt lighting in
<br />Section 1512, shall comply with this secticn. Where on, ipancy
<br />sensors are cited, they shall have the features listed in P. action
<br />1513.6.1. Where automatic time switches are cited, they shall
<br />have the features listed in Section 1513.6.2.
<br />1513.1 Local Control and Accessibility: Each space,
<br />enclosed by walls 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 occupying 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 security.
<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 switch^s retain their
<br />capability to function independently. Circa 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 100,000 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 controlling device provided
<br />that they do not Include zones facing more than two adjacent
<br />cardinal orientations (i.e. north, east, south, west). Daylight
<br />zones under overhead glazing more than 15 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 sep--rate switch for
<br />general area lighting.
<br />1513.4 Display, Exhibition, and Specialty Lighting
<br />Controls: All display, exhibition, or specialty lighting shall b�
<br />controlled independently of general area lighting.
<br />1513.5 Automatic Shut -Off Controls, Exterior: Exteror
<br />I;ghting 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 />pro(; i.:n, •. rk-up capabilities, which prevent the loss of
<br />pr;;1, aril time settings for at least 10 hours, if power is
<br />Wu-rupted.
<br />1513.6 Automatic Shut -Off Controls, interior: Office
<br />buildings greater than 5,000 sq. ft. and all school classrooms
<br />shall be equipped with separate automatic controls to shut off
<br />the lighting during unoccupied hours. Automatic controls may
<br />be an occupancy sensor, time switch, or other device capable
<br />of automatically shutting off lighting.
<br />EXCEPTIONS:
<br />1. Areas that must be continuously illuminated, or
<br />illuminated in a manner requiring manual
<br />operation of the lighting.
<br />2. Emergency lighting systems.
<br />3. Switching for industrial or manufacturing process
<br />facilities as may be required for production.
<br />1513.6.1 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.
<br />1513.6.2 Automatic Time 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 incomorale an automatic
<br />holiday "shut-off" feature, which turns off all loads for at least
<br />24 hours and then resumes normally scheduled operations.
<br />Automatic time switches shall also have program back-up
<br />capabilities, which prevent the loss of program and time
<br />settings for at least 10 hours, if power is interrupted.
<br />Automatic time switches shall Incorporate 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 i nore 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 100,000 square feet,
<br />whichever is greater.
<br />1513.7 Commissioning Requirements: For lighting controls
<br />which include 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 with 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.
