Revision history [back]

I am seeking clarification on the inclusion/exclusion of exterior lighting when completing an ECM/Chapter 11 model. The language is similar between all of my 2007, 2010, 2013; for both the 90.1 Standard(s) and accompanying User's Manual(s). Is exterior lighting included?

YES: The User's manual specifically calls out to exclude exterior lighting. Our/my assumption is that exterior lighting falls in Section 9.4, making it a mandatory item, though that doesn't fully explain why it couldn't be traded-off. The User Manual documentation formals also do not include a separate 'exterior lighting' category.

NO: In the Standard, Table 11.3.1 Part 12 Misc Loads talks about exterior lighting, indicating that "all end uses must be accounted for" - though it mentions nothing of the Baseline Exterior Lighting Allowances or trade-offs. It actually calls for Baseline=Proposed. 'Part 6 Lighting' from the table also makes no real explicit language on exterior lighting either.

For Appendix G (not ECM) it is known/thought that exterior lighting is included in the models, though reviewing this section has left me searching for the inclusion of 'al' exterior lighting, and not just "parking garage and Façade" lighting. The User Manual explicitly calls out to include Exterior, but I cant seem to find that in the Standard.

What are others' experiences or thoughts? Code references appreciated. Thanks.
