A. BUG Rating: Backlight, uplight, and glare rating for light pollution from exterior luminaires.

B. Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): The absolute temperature (in kelvins) of a blackbody whose chromaticity (color quality) most nearly resembles that of the light source.

C. Color Rendering Index (CRI): The measure of the degree of color shift objects undergo when illuminated by the light source as compared with the color of those same objects when illuminated by a reference light source. The lower the CRI of a light source, the more difficult it is to identify colors and stripes on electronic components and wiring.

2. The Contracting Officer may ask for lumen calculations based on the installation for proposed substitutions to verify against the designing engineers’ original calculations. Base “.dwg” files would be made available along with original calculation parameters and results. Some variance is expected, the degree of that which is deemed acceptable may or may not feel fair.

B. Sustainable Design Product Data:

1. For luminaires.
