Optimize Energy Performance, Lighting Sample Clauses
The 'Optimize Energy Performance, Lighting' clause sets requirements for improving the energy efficiency of lighting systems within a building or project. It typically involves specifying the use of high-efficiency lighting fixtures, controls such as occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting, and strategies to reduce overall lighting power consumption. By implementing these measures, the clause helps lower energy costs, reduce environmental impact, and ensure compliance with sustainability standards or building codes.
Optimize Energy Performance, Lighting. Power [2-5 points] The design for the lighting will need to meet and exceed the ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 by reducing the lighting power used by 20%. Tenants that reduce their lighting power by more than 20% can earn additional points, up to 5 points for 35% savings. The tenant’s choice of lamps and fixtures will need to take into consideration the tenant’s program needs and be high efficiency fixtures. (There is the potential of receiving rebates from the local utility depending on the specific fixtures selected. See ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ for more information.) The installation of daylighting controls for all perimeter spaces (within 15 LF at exterior walls) and occupancy sensor controls can reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Daylighting controls work in conjunction with the lighting fixtures to allow natural daylight to provide the necessary illumination. This building requires the tenants to utilize daylight dimming controls, in addition to the other occupancy sensor and motion detection lighting controls. (There is the potential of receiving rebates from the local utility depending on the daylighting dimming system selected. See ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ for more information.) EAc1.3, Optimize Energy Performance, HVAC Equipment [5-10 points] The tenant design shall meet the requirements in sections 1.4, 2.9 and 3.10 of the New Building Institute’s Advanced Buildings Core Performance Guide, which is used as the prescriptive criteria for the mechanical system which deal with the ducts, equipment, system operations, VAV pumps and fans (5 points). Premium efficient motors should be used on all equipment (³1 HP) and ECM motors(<1 HP) shall be used in all tenant fan coil units and perimeter fan-powered VAV boxes. The base building HVAC system is designed and installed to support achieving this credit. (There is the potential of receiving ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 12/19/2017 Page 8 rebates from the local utility depending on the variable speed drives on HVAC fans ECM motors, and Energy Management Systems selected. See ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ for more information.) The tenant has the potential of achieving a credit based on the layout of the space (5 points). To achieve this credit, every solar exposure must have a separate control zone. Interior spaces must be zoned separately from exterior spaces, and private office and conference rooms, kitchens, etc, must have active sensors that sense space occupancy and modulate the HVAC systems accordingly. The base building HVAC system is designed and ...
