About this file

This document is a two-part electrical lighting compliance certificate for the Turbeville Library project in Turbeville, South Carolina, prepared using COMcheck-Web Software and dated 08/27/25. The project involves new construction of a library with 6,900 square feet, focusing on interior and exterior lighting design that exceeds the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requirements by at least 60%. The lighting design includes multiple LED fixture types such as LED Linear, LED A Lamp, and LED Panel fixtures, with a total proposed wattage of 3,551 watts, significantly lower than the allowed 8,970 watts for interior lighting.

The compliance certificates detail specific lighting specifications for both interior and exterior areas, including walkways, main entry, and secondary doors. The exterior lighting is designed for Lighting Zone 2 (Neighborhood business district), with a total tradable proposed wattage of 912 watts against an allowed 1,705 watts. The project is engineered by Dalton Simeone from Burdette Engineers in Greenville, South Carolina, and certified by Larry C. Mahaffey, P.E. on 8/29/25. The documentation demonstrates compliance with energy efficiency standards through careful fixture selection, wattage calculations, and planned lighting control mechanisms.

8970 3551 YES

Controls, Switching, and Wiring:

❑ 2. Daylight zones under skylights more than 15 feet from the perimeter have lighting controls separate from daylight zones adjacent to vertical fenestration.

❑ 3. Daylight zones have individual lighting controls independent from that of the general area lighting.

Exceptions:

❑ Contiguous daylight zones spanning no more than two orientations are allowed to be controlled by a single controlling device.

❑ Daylight spaces enclosed by walls or ceiling height partitions and containing two or fewer light fixtures are not required to have a separate switch for general area lighting.

❑ 4. Independent controls for each space (switch/occupancy sensor).

Exceptions:

❑ Areas designated as security or emergency areas that must be continuously illuminated.

❑ Lighting in stairways or corridors that are elements of the means of egress.

❑ 5. Master switch at entry to hotel/motel guest room.

❑ 6. Individual dwelling units separately metered.

❑ 7. Medical task lighting or art/history display lighting claimed to be exempt from compliance has a control device independent of the control of the nonexempt lighting.

❑ 8. Each space required to have a manual control also allows for reducing the connected lighting load by at least 50 percent by either controlling all luminaires, dual switching of alternate rows of luminaires, alternate luminaires, or alternate lamps, switching the middle lamp luminaires independently of other lamps, or switching each luminaire or each lamp.

Exceptions:

❑ Only one luminaire in space.

❑ An occupant-sensing device controls the area.

❑ The area is a corridor, storeroom, restroom, public lobby or sleeping unit.

❑ Areas that use less than 0.6 Watts/sq.ft.

❑ 9. Automatic lighting shutoff control in buildings larger than 5,000 sq.ft.

Exceptions:

❑ Sleeping units, patient care areas; and spaces where automatic shutoff would endanger safety or security.

❑ 10.Photocell/astronomical time switch on exterior lights.

Exceptions:

❑ Lighting intended for 24 hour use.

❑ 11.Tandem wired one-lamp and three-lamp ballasted luminaires (No single-lamp ballasts).

Exceptions:

❑ Electronic high-frequency ballasts; Luminaires on emergency circuits or with no available pair.

Section 5: Compliance Statement
