Code & Coffee: Nonresidential Lighting — Indoor Lighting Wheel Overview

The Energy Code Ace Indoor Lighting Wheel is designed as a quick reference to check whether an indoor lighting installation in various areas of a nonresidential building meets 2016 Title 24, Part 6 requirements − without the need to dive into the Standards language itself. It covers the following for both new construction and alterations:

* Allowed lighting power (W/ft2) for a given lighting area category
– Prescriptive Area Category Allowance: §140.6(c)2
* Lighting controls necessary for a given area category
– Mandatory Lighting Controls §130.1(a)-(e); Prescriptive Lighting Controls §140.6(a)2 and (d)
* Special considerations and exceptions for the above – Alterations §141.0(b)2I-J including Table 141.0-E
