<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone with experience showing compliance with ASHRAE
90.1-2004 section 9.4.5 enlighten me as how the baseline calculation should be
done? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The confusion I’m having is with the definition of an
illuminated wall or surface length when applying the 5.0 W/linear foot allowance
for building façades. How is the lineal footage of an illuminated wall
determined? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For example, if a 100’ wide wall has one exterior
lighting fixture on it at the center, is the entire wall considered to be illuminated
and thus the baseline lighting power allowance is 500W? Or is there some
method of determining the actual portion of the wall that is illuminated?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This came up on a LEED project where I had applied table
9.4.5 as conservatively as possible and only considered a portion of the wall
to be illuminated at each fixture. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
