3.7 Certification
If applying for LEED certification LEED-NC Prerequisite EA 2 requires compliance with
ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2004. ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2004, Section 9, "Lighting," sets maximum interior and exterior lighting power densities and minimum requirements for lighting controls. The selection of the lamp is an important design decision to optimize energy efficiency of the lighting system.
3.8 Security Exterior Lighting
Exterior security lighting is an important issue for many facilities, and not all of the specific criteria are addressed in this section. For lighting requirements, refer to the latest revision of the IESNA
Lighting Handbook. Security lighting provides illumination during periods of darkness or in areas of low visibility to aid in the detection, assessment, and interdiction of aggressors by security forces.
Security lighting is sometimes referred to as protective lighting.
3.8.1. Security Lighting Design
The security lighting system must aid in the detection of aggressors and assist personnel in the assessment and response to potential threats. All security lighting designs must be coordinated with Security Forces.
The type of site lighting system provided depends on the installation environment and intended use.
i. Continuous Lighting
The most common security lighting system is a series of fixed lights arranged to illuminate a given area continuously.
ii. Standby
With this system, the luminaires are either automatically or manually turned on at times when suspicious activity is detected by security personnel or an intrusion detection system. A standby system creates the impression of activity and may offer a deterrent value while also achieving energy conservation. Consider LED and induction light source systems in lieu of light sources that require re-strike.
iii. Movable
Movable lighting (stationary or portable) consists of manually operated searchlights that may be lighted during hours of darkness or as needed. This system is normally used to supplement continuous or standby lighting. This system will not be discussed in these criteria.

4.9 Lighting Levels
This section identifies recommended light levels from the IESNA Lighting Handbook and LPD levels from the IECC. The US General Services Administration provides lighting levels and LPDs for U.S.
Government buildings, which can be used as a guide for other types of buildings. The required light levels are indicated in a range because different tasks, even in the same space, require different amounts of light. In general, low contrast and detailed tasks require more light while high contrast and less detailed tasks require less light.
If not specified in the statement of work, refer to the IESNA Lighting Handbook for the illumination level requirements of a specific area.

APPENDIX A
CONTROL STRATEGIES
1. Priorities
a. Energy Reduction
Reduce energy consumption by using energy efficient technologies, effective illuminance levels, and implementing control strategies.
b. Maintenance Reduction
Reduce maintenance by technology selection, reducing equipment quantities, and implementing control strategies.
Select light sources, power supplies, and controls that are rated and warranted for long useful lives to increase the amount of time between maintenance cycles. Minimize light source types on an individual project. Locate luminaires in locations to improve access for regular servicing such as light source replacement.
c. Lighting Quality
Apply the following to ensure the priority of lighting quality is achieved:
1. Direct Glare
Shield light sources in the luminaires with louvers, perforations, or lenses to avoid a direct view of the light sources and the resultant direct glare.
2. Reflected Glare
Avoid reflected glare caused by using bright luminaire components such as visible light sources or bright lenses reflecting from surfaces having glossy or specular finishes.
3. Luminances of Room Surfaces
Illuminate surfaces to control the contrast between the occupant’s task area and the surrounding surface in that person’s field of view. Avoid dark backgrounds when a person views a bright computer screen in the foreground. Control high luminance ratios for daylight fenestrations when direct sun is allowed to penetrate.
4. Uniformity
Uniformly illuminate the task plane as well as room surfaces, to avoid shadows or distracting patterns of light.
5. Shadowing
Minimize contrast with ambient and task lighting to fill in harsh shadows, especially for work surfaces where people are performing detail oriented tasks.
6. Surface Characteristics
Coordinate with the interior designer to select surface finishes that complement the lighting design.
d. Lighting Systems Efficiencies
Increases in Solid State Lighting (SSL)/Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting system efficiencies are surpassing the efficiencies of linear fluorescent systems. Analyze the use of LED for interior applications.
2. Lighting Controls
Lighting control requirements must meet ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 189.1, and this spec. Refer to UFC
1-200-02 for publication year of ASHRAE. Refer to Chapter 3 (Interior Applications) for control requirements. Provide commissioning per ASHRAE requirements. Refer to IES DG-29 for commission guidance for specific applications.
1. Daylighting Control Requirements
Control the electric lighting in response to daylight.
a. Continuously dim electric light in task oriented areas such as offices, conference rooms, classrooms, or turning it off in non-task areas such as circulation and lounge areas.
b. Control primary and secondary daylight zones separately.
c. Refer to UFC 1-200-02 for daylighting requirements. Coordinate architectural daylight design and lighting contribution into electrical lighting design and control.
2. Automated Shading
When automated shading is provided to control glare and unwanted heat gain from daylighting, coordinate daylighting controls with automated shading controls.
3. Means of Egress
For the lighting and controls, comply with NFPA 101, Sections 7.8.1.2.2 thru 7.8.1.2.7, Illumination of Means of Egress.
4. Control Strategies
Refer to Appendix B for control strategies.
3. Equipment
a. Multi-Pin Receptacle
Streetlights must be capable of being upgraded to a wireless control system. Streetlights must be installed with an ANSI C136.41 multi-pin receptacle. This five to seven pin receptacle will accept a standard three-pin photocell until the system is upgraded.
b. Light Source Technology
Use a correlated color temperature (CCT) of no greater than 4100K as stated on the manufacturer’s cut sheet for all interior spaces. Do not mix source CCTs within a single building. The different
CCTs will cause visual confusion. Maintain one CCT source. Use a color rendering index (CRI) of no less than 80 for interior applications.
Note, per ANSI C78.377-2017 standard, nominal CCT of 4000K is 3985K +/-275K for SSL products.
1. Solid State Lighting (SSL)
i. LED luminaires must be dimmable or capable of multi-level control according to the control strategy.
ii. SSL dimmers must be NEMA SSL 7A1 compliant to ensure that the electrical infrastructure is adequate to dim the lamps without flicker or dropouts in dimming range.
iii. LED light source replacements (screw base) are only permitted for the replacement of incandescent or compact fluorescent light sources.
iv. IES LM-79, LM-80, and TM-21 testing reports must be supplied from manufacturer and include all relevant information.
v. Consistent with industry standard, all LED luminaires require a 10-year warranty.
2. Linear LED Lamps
Do not use linear LED lamps with luminaire conversion kits.
3. Metal Halide
No restrictions.
4. Mercury Vapor
Do not use mercury vapor light sources.
5. High and Low Pressure Sodium
Do not use high and low pressure sodium light sources for interior applications.
6. Incandescent and Tungsten Halogen
Do not use incandescent or tungsten halogen light sources, except where alternatives such as
SSL are unavailable.
c. Drivers, Generators, and Power Supplies
1. Total current harmonic distortion less than or equal to 20%.
2. Power factor (PF) greater than or equal to 0.9.
3. For current and future dimming requirements (i.e. smart grid, curfew, adaptive), use dimmable or bilevel drivers compatible with standard dimming control circuit of 0-10V.
d. Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Provide MOV type SPDs at panelboards for all circuits feeding exterior lighting systems.
e. Overcurrent Protection Device
Provide in-line fuse in pole base or splice box for street and area lights.
4. Electrical Energy Monitoring
For new construction of buildings greater than 25,000 ft2 (2,322 m2), terminate lighting branch circuits in dedicated lighting panelboards.
5. Elevators
Provide lighting for elevators in accordance with ASME A17.1 or ASME A17.3 as applicable.
6. Illumination for Means of Egress
Provide in accordance with NFPA 101.
A. Emergency Lighting
1. Emergency lighting units must be LED for new construction. It is not life cycle cost effective to re-place existing units.
2. Install emergency lighting equipment in conspicuous and accessible locations to facilitate the period-ic testing requirements.
B. Exit Signs
Internally illuminated signs must be LED type and comply with UFC 3-600-01.
7. Lighting System Alterations
Lighting system alterations must meet AHSRAE 90.1 and UFC standards. ASHRAE 90.1 states that the alteration of lighting systems in any building space or exterior area must comply with the lighting power density (LPD) requirements applicable to that space or area and the automatic shutoff requirements. Such alterations include all luminaires that are added, replaced, or removed. This requirement must also be met for alterations that involve only the replacement of lamps.
Most spaces require less illuminance with modern tasks than were required when the existing lighting systems were installed. Therefore, to maximize long-term energy and sustainment savings and to improve the lighting quality in existing spaces, designers must first consider a redesign before luminaire replacement, conversion, or retrofit. This includes the implementation of controls which will provide long-term energy and sustainment savings. Refer to LEM-3, “IES Guidelines for Upgrading Lighting
Systems in Commercial and Institutional Spaces” for additional information. All lighting system alterations must be supported by a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) in accordance with UFC 1-200-
02.
APPENDIX B
INTERIOR CONTROL STRATEGIES
Indicate in the contract documents the control strategy for each space in accordance with narrative descriptions in the table below.
APPENDIX C
PHYSICAL SECURITY
The part of security concerned with physical measures designed to safeguard personnel; to prevent or delay unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents; and to safeguard them against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft.
a. Physical Security System
A system comprising people, equipment, and operational procedures that control access to critical facilities or assets. Security lighting is one of the constituent elements of the equipment making up a physical security system.
b. Security Lighting Overview
Security lighting is one component of a larger physical security system. Although the level of protection may vary, the lighting must supplement and facilitate all other measures taken to ensure the security of an asset. These other measures may take the form of security forces at an entry control point, sensitive inner areas, boundaries, or the use of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras. In all cases, the lighting enhances visibility for either an individual or device and facilitates their performance.
In the simplest form, security lighting provides a clear view of an area for security personnel while reducing concealment opportunities for aggressors. A physical security system must be able to detect a threat, assess the threat, and then neutralize it.
c. Deterrent Value
Security lighting at a site may deter lesser threats and aggressors. Although a security lighting system will not deter sophisticated criminals or terrorists, it may influence unsophisticated criminals or vandals.
The mere presence of light will increase the probability of detection or capture and may induce these types of aggressors to look for an easier target.
Similarly, the effective use of lighting can enhance the perception of security, which is important to the personnel who work within a secure area. This can be accomplished with glare reduction, lighted surfaces, proper uniformity, and adequate illuminance.
d. Defining Requirements
Defining the requirements of a physical security system and its components involves an interdisciplinary planning team. The team considers all interests relating to a project to determine how security fits into the total project design. The specific membership of the planning team will be based on local considerations, but in general, the following functions are to be represented: facility user, antiterrorism officer, operations, security, logistics, engineering, life safety, and others as required. That team will use the process in UFC 4-020-01 to identify the design criteria, which includes the assets to be protected, the threats to those assets (the Design Basis Threat), and the levels of protection to be provided for the assets against the identified threats. In addition to these criteria elements, the team must also identify user constraints such as appearance, operational considerations, manpower requirements or limitations, energy conservation, and sustainment costs. Some areas such as water boundaries that cannot be patrolled do not require lighting.
e. Controlled Lighting
Controlled lighting is best used when it is necessary to limit the width of the lighted strip along the perimeter due to adjoining property. Minimize or eliminate silhouetting or illuminating security personnel on patrol. Use fully shielded or U0 rated luminaires mounted in the horizontal plane to reduce glare.
Illumination levels for controlled lighting must be adequate to detect a moving aggressor, either visually or by use of CCTV. Provide fully shielded or U0 rated luminaires mounted in the horizontal plane to minimize glare. Glare may hinder security personnel visibility and interfere with authorized activities or activities outside the installation.
