I am a bit fuzzy on how to define the design and budget building lighting
loads for LEED C&S. With most core and shell projects, the
lighting is minimal - waiting for the TI to design the lighting. If
that is the case with a specific C&S project, then I assume the
lighting is not fully designed then I assume that table 11.3.1 1(c)
applies:<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>(c) When the <i>energy cost
budget </i>method is applied to buildings in which<br>
energy-related features have not yet been designed (e.g., a lighting
system),<br>
those yet-to-be-designed features shall be described in the <i>proposed
design </i>so<br>
that they minimally comply with applicable mandatory and
prescriptive<br>
requirements from Sections 5 through 10. Where the space classification
for a<br>
building is not known, the building shall be categorized as an office
building.<br><br>
</font>In this case, then it would seem that there is no advantage to
trying to design an efficient Core and Shell lighting design? Any
thoughts greatly appreciated.<br><br>
