likely either “what’s currently installed” if it’s an existing building you’re improving/renovating,
or else a figure you’ll need to calculate per 90.1 or a similar energy standard/code
if it’s new construction/LEED. COMcheck is a free software package that can
make such calculations very simple... but be sure you read and understand the

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks Nick and Brian.<br>
Do you mean for building energy modeling, it is not necessary to input exterior
lighting? If I try to get energy saving credit from exterior lighting, how
should I input baseline value?<br>
