[Equest-users] ASHRAE 90.1 (2001) Lighting Level Tables

[Nick Caton]

To figure LPD’s quickly, COMcheck is my weapon of choice – alongside an area takeoff.

 

Select 90.1-2001 as your code from the top menu, then go through the first screen entering space areas using the dropdown menus.  You’ll have a total allowable LPD in the end.  

 

Depending on whether you have ‘fine material storage,’ you may or may not want to go space-by-space’ vs. whole building method for a warehouse… it doesn’t take long to explore both.

 

Remember, EPAct has a caveat for warehouses if doing the interim lighting rule.

Nick:

 

Thank you for the information.  I downloaded ComCheck, and yes, this is for EPAct.  What I need at present is what is the allowable (w/sf) for a warehouse in 90.1-2001. I want to be able to give the lighting designer what their maximum is.

 

Thanks!

Paul, 

 

As a caution, If you’re looking into 90.1-2001 LPD’s in the context of EPAct, be sure you’re aware of Addendum G and that you’re using the correct set of values (see attached discussion from [bldg-sim]).

 

On a related note –COMcheck is a very handy free tool to be aware of:

This tool puts a lot of energy codes (LPD’s, specifically) at your fingertips.

Does anyone have a copy of 90.1 (2001), specifically the lighting (W/SF based on building type) redily avialable and can share them?  We only have 2004 and 2007, I need this informatin to verify lighting levels for an older project.

 

Thank you!
