I I . LINEAR FLUORESCENT T5 LIGHTING SYSTEMSA. T5HO LAMPS - 49W T5HO lamps are preferred over 54W T5HO in most high bay applications for increased energy savings with comparable

lumen output.

B. T5 LAMPS (2, 3, 4) - Standard output T5 lamps are generally not recommended. Instead, Super T8 lamps are recommended over T5 lamps inspace applications such as classrooms, offices, hallways, etc. for the following reasons:1. Superior lamp life2. Comparable lumen output3. Superior energy efficiency4. Materials cost first cost and maintenance costs5. Compatibility for lamp/ballast retrofit applications of T12 or older T8 systems without requiring new fixture installation.

I I I . HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LIGHTINGHigh intensity discharge (HID) lamps are rarely appropriate for indoor use due to their low CRI, high energy usage and rated life expectancy. Because HID

fixtures can be replaced by more-efficient high bay fluorescent (HBF) fixtures, induction lamps or compact fluorescent lamps, HID lamps should not be used

for indoor lighting.

IV. HIGH BAY FL UORESCENT LIGHTINGHigh bay fluorescent (HBF) fixtures are to be installed in areas with high ceilings such as gymnasiums. The three primary types of HBF fixtures are as

follows; refer to lamp criteria above:1. 6-lamp 4-ft T8 fixture (with ballast factor of 1.0) typical 400W HID replacement2. 4-lamp 4-ft T5HO fixture typical 400W HID replacement

3. 6-lamp 4-ft T5HO fixture typical > 400W HID replacement

V. COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTINGThe following table provides guidelines for common compact fluorescent lighting replacements for incandescent applications.

VI . LI GHTING-LEVEL REQUIREMENTSLighting to be designed such that illumination levels fall within a given range, according to the space type. Average lighting levels are not to fall below theranges lower limit and not to exceed the ranges upper limit. This is to assure all spaces are adequately lit but are not over-lit. The ranges apply to all

working areas in a space, and should be sustained throughout lamp life. The following footcandle (fc) ranges are derived primarily from IESNA

recommended levels and NCAA gymnasium lighting best practices.

VII. EXTERIOR LIGHTING No Sodium lamps will be allowedA. PATH/STEP All path lighting to be _____. No encased step lighting will be permitted with prior written authorization.B. PEDESTRIAN (3-0 TO 15-0) All pedestrian lighting to be ______.C. STREET (15-0 to 30-0) All street lighting to be _(250W Metal halide, 400W Metal Halide, or equivalent induction lamp).D. HIGH MAST (30-0 and up) All high mast lighting to be _______.

VIII. LIGHTING CONTROLSA. INTERIOR - All interior spaces to be controlled via dual technology (infrared & ultrasonic) occupancy sensors for energy conservation. In areas

needing a minimum level of security or stumble lighting, provide occasional full light fixtures or select of the lamps within necessary light

fixtures to be controlled by a hot circuit with the remaining fixtures or lamps controlled by the occupancy sensor.

B. EXTERIOR - Exterior light fixtures to be controlled via photocell for energy conservation. Provide security lighting connected to a hot circuit asneeded for security camera operation.

IX. DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR COMMON SPACE-TYPESThe following table summarizes the lighting power densities found in standard design practice for various space types. Also presented are the IESNArecommended lighting level ranges for the space types, which should be followed to maintain comfortable lighting levels and energy-efficient lighting

design. When lighting designs meet such lighting levels and energy-efficient lighting technology is used, better lighting power densities will be achieved, as

indicated by Mid-Efficiency LPD and High-Efficiency LPD values in the table. The increased SCORE incentive and annual electricity cost savings forthese higher-efficiency designs are presented in the table as well.
