Change Performance Table Section 5.1 Modify 5.2.2 Humidity Control, Performance, Baseline to:

Design to meet ASHRAE standard 55 maximum dew point. Delete ASHRAE 55, graphic comfort zone method in the reference row. Insert the “2019 ASHRAE Applications Handbook Chapter 64 - Moisture and Mold, EPA 402-F-13053 Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance Dec 2013” in the reference row. Revise the performance row to show “Maximum 55F dew point - occupied, 60F dew point - unoccupied"

Modify 5.2.6 Filtration, Performance, Baseline, second bullet to: Specify ASHRAE 62.1 filter minimum MERV levels for all cooling coils and for outdoor air in buildings located in an area where the national standard or guideline for particulate matter size is exceeded.

Change Performance Table Section 6.2.2 Lighting Quality – Interior Electric:

DELETE the row for Daylight Autonomy.

Change Section 6.2.2 Lighting Quality:

Tier 3 High Performance (★★★): This level maintains Tier 2 High Performance (★★), but increases daylight autonomy to 100%, and splits electric light between 60% ambient and 40% task(+/-10%).

Daylight autonomy refers to the percentage of annual daytime hours that daylight alone provides the required illuminance levels in regularly occupied spaces.

Change Section 6.2.5 Maintenance:

Maintenance of a lighting system includes starting out with long life light sources and high quality luminaires and drivers that will not fail before the light sources. Fluorescent luminaires are no longer the lighting fixture of choice due to dwindling manufacturers, lower efficacy, and the maturing of the Solid State Lighting market. GSA facilities should shall be designed to utilize Solid State Lighting luminaires;

however, mock ups are required prior to fixture luminaire final selection. Solid State Lighting sources now are rated for at least 50,000 hours. Induction lighting is rated for 100,000 hours. Solid state lighting such as LEDs burn out and dim slowly over the course of their life. Per LM-80, lamp life is based on an L70 or when the light source is producing only 70% of its initial light output.

Change Section 6.3.1.1 Qualifications for the Lighting Practitioner:

Lighting design for new construction, lighting renovations, and energy retrofits must be performed or supervised by a professional lighting practitioner with a minimum of 10 5 consecutive years full-time experience in lighting design with at least two one of the three following qualifications of LC, IES member, or IALD member, and who devotes the majority of his/her professional time to the design of architectural lighting.

If switchboards are used for service entrance equipment 800 amperes or below, they shall be constructed in accordance with UL 891.

In the case of double-ended substations, all main and secondary feeder breakers must be draw-out power type. Breakers with solid state trip units must have modbus communications and shall be tied into the BAS for status and power monitoring.

Change Section 6.5.6.4 Variable Frequency Drive:

Variable frequency drives must be used on all speed control motors where Standard 90.1 requires motors to operate at reduced speeds.larger than 3.7 kW (5 horsepower) to reduce the energy consumption of the project. However, VFDs generate harmonics, which are injected into the secondary power distribution system. These harmonics must be minimized through the use of filters tuned to the peak harmonic generated by the drive. All VFDs must be provided with a contactor bypass option. All VFD motors sized 5 horsepower and larger shall be provided with either Shaft Grounding Rings (SGRs) or Common Mode Filters to eliminate high frequency damage to motor bearings.

Change Section 6.5.13.1 Lighting – Historic Buildings, fourth sentence:

Replica fixtures in which light sources are not exposed should incorporate high-output, energy efficient lamps as necessary to achieve required light levels and meet energy conservation standards.

Supplemental lighting is designed and placed to minimize penetration of ornamental wall and ceiling surfaces and to avoid competing visually with historic lighting. Original or replica lighting containing exposed incandescent bulbs may be retrofitted with filament LED reproduction lamps such as A19 LED (pear- shaped, clear glass lamp) or equal.
