(12) The emergency features shall include: maintenance-free nickel cadmium battery;

automatic low-voltage disconnect; reverse polarity and short-circuit protection; AC indicator light; push-to-test switch; constant current charger.

(13) The nickel cadmium battery shall carry a minimum of a 5-year full warranty.

Exterior EXIT lights shall be vandal resistant.

(14) LED lighting: All interior and exterior lighting including parking lot lighting shall be LED. Consider 3000 color rendering for Intel training classrooms and consider 4000 for all other interior applications. 5000 is recommended for exterior applications.

Emergency battery packs within fluorescent fixtures and/or LED is the preferred method. Emergency ballasts will be connected to the same circuit as the remainder of the same fixture, but ahead of the local switch.

(17) Lighting Levels: General illumination levels shall not exceed the intensities shown in Mil-Hdbk 1190, Chapter 9, Table 9-1 through 9-4 and Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Handbook. Design of rooms (particularly areas with fluorescent troffer lighting) shall include evaluation of multi-level switching to provide user-adjustable levels of lighting, as well as dimming and work area lighting. Design Analysis shall address all options considered to minimize energy consumption while providing effective lighting, and the reasons for choices made shall be documented.

(18) Multi-level switching, using multiple ballasts and separately switched circuits to provide adjustable levels of lighting, is the minimum standard for all facilities. An example is having one tube on a ballast and two tubes on another ballast in a 2’x 4’ troffer, so either one, two or all three bulbs in a 3-bulb system can be selected.

Another design tool is to provide additional switches to sectionalize the room in addition to level control. Other design considerations include task lighting, strategically placed down lights, dimmers, photoelectric controls, occupancy sensors, LED, solar lighting, and day-lighting design, all of which give users flexible control of their workspace lighting and save money.
