I attempted to use LEED CIR 1712 which states that 2.0 W/sqft is the maximum allowable LPD. I attempted to use this to establish a baseline by assuming some portable lighting which remained the same in both models I then assumed in the baseline case that the remainder of the 2.0 W/sqft would be used by hardwired lighting in the baseline. For example if the apartment has 0.5 w/sqft of lamps, then it would have 1.5 w/sqft of hardwired lighting in the baseline. The proposed building would have the same 0.5 w/sqft of lamps and then the actual w/sqft provided by fixtures.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>LEED would not accept this and rejected my ECM saying I would have to provide studies for duty cycles and lighting density and that the lighting density provided in the CIR was not sufficient. Our project is installing hardwired energy star certified CFL fixtures in all rooms of all residential spaces and we would like to get some credit for this, but I have yet to find a method LEED will accept. Has anyone had any luck with this?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>____________________________<br>Michael Shields<br>Facility Strategies Group, LLC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>1012 Market Street, Suite 307<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>Fort Mill, SC 29708<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>Phone: 803-493-4507</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"'>Fax: 803-548-2511<br>Email: <a href="mailto:mshields@fstrategies.com"><span style='color:blue'>mshields@fstrategies.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
