However, in addition to the 1.1 W/ft<sup>2</sup> allowance for hotel/motel
guest rooms and dormitory living quarters in the space-by-space method, there
is the 0.7 W/ft<sup>2</sup> allowance for “multifamily” using the
building area method (Table 9.5.1). This seems to be another area where the
Standard is vague. Many of my projects have been dormitories, which do not
contain “dwelling units” as defined in section 3, since the
residence spaces don’t contain kitchens. So I have not had to apply this
exception yet.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

applies to “spaces in which lighting systems are connected via
receptacles and are not shown or provided for on building plans.” You say
you’ve worked hard to reduce lighting energy use, so presumably,
you’ve designed the lighting for the spaces and it appears on the plans.
Therefore, you are justified in using your actual lighting design for the
proposed building model, and the LPD value for the baseline, which should be
1.1 W/ft<sup>2</sup> for living quarters per Table 9.6.1.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>If you’re looking to start
somewhere… I know the NEC (NFPA 70) lays out a clear method of
estimating dwelling unit lighting loads within Article 220. It starts off
seeming high (3W/SF), but there are heavy demand factors that vary with the
total calc’d load following within the same article: i.e. first 3,000 @
100%... 3,000 to 120,000 @ 35% etc…</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>While I’ve yet to fall back on the
NEC as an energy modeling resource, I’m unaware of any better direct
source for residential lighting loads… I imagine if you dig hard enough,
one of the ASHRAE handbooks probably has something along these lines as well
that might give you a different sum.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I think ASHRAE Fundamentals does have a
clear thing or two to say regarding what percentage of the lighting load should
end up in a space vs. a plenum when you are talking about different lamp
sources (incandescent vs. CFL…) – something to be aware of if you
want to pursue this avenue.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
