In CBECC-Com interior lights can be modelled by either simply specifying the lighting power density, or by building up a detailed lighting system. PAF credits can be claimed only with the InteriorLightingSystem method. Within the Interior Lighting System Data tab, choose the PAF credit type applicable for your lighting system from the drop down menu. The software will auto populate the PAF fraction and adjust the total lighting power based on the selection.
