联邦政府照明:新要求

总务管理局(GSA)管理1个.十亿平方英尺的地方供联邦政府使用. 他们刚刚更新了" P100 "  ̶  a must-have 316-page playbook for anyone constructing or renovating federal buildings.

This post takes a high-level look at the most significant requirements in the new P100 that address facility lighting.

克里族照明是一家gsa认可的制造商，总部位于拉辛, 威斯康辛州, and most of our relevant product solutions meet Buy American Act or Trade Agreements Act requirements.

既然《十大赌博信誉的平台》(IIJA)已经通过, virtually every area of the country can expect to see a surge of construction at federal facilities, 包括新建工程和长期推迟的翻新工程, 扩展和维护更新. 负责监督这一切的是GSA, which manages the bulk of the federal government’s non-military holdings – a real estate portfolio of more than 127,000幢自有和租赁的建筑，为1000人提供工作空间.100万联邦雇员，包括办公室的一切, 仓库, 法院和儿童看护中心登陆入境口岸, 军营, 实验室和医院.

(值得注意的事实是:美国.S. Department of Defense manages twice the number of buildings and square footage than the GSA, 但他们有自己的P100版本.)

如您所料，有一些新规则需要遵循，概述在 P100:公共建筑服务设施标准 – or P100 在短. 2021年10月更新, the 316-page P100 sets out both performance-based standards and prescriptive requirements for government-owned or leased facilities.

The P100 isn’t exhaustive: various building categories have their own separate design guides and manuals providing detailed requirements for specific types of facilities. But it provides four levels (a baseline and three tiers) of mandated standards that apply universally to new construction, 小的和大的修理和改建, 历史遗迹保护和节能合同.

主要照明亮点

P100第六章:电气工程 以概述照明要求(第6页)开始. 186-201). 重要的规定和声明包括:

• The use of DLC-approved products to secure all available utility rebates for the GSA
• The use of domestic construction materials (Buy  American Act) for construction contracts performed in the United States (excepting waivers granted or per FAR 25.2)
• 新建筑和重大翻新的LEED认证的黄金评级
• 整体建筑能源效率至少比ASHRAE这样90高30%.1 E.C.L
• 尽可能强制采光

照明控制也很突出:“GSA打算领导政府. 拥有和运营智能建筑.”

更多选择的自由

Most of the new requirements reflect an ongoing move away from prescriptive specifications to more “performance-based” requirements. 换句话说, GSA只要求结果, enabling project teams to innovate and implement the best strategy to satisfy the requirement. As the P100 directly acknowledges, there are a lot of factors to consider in lighting design:

“The quality of a visual environment considers a wide range of variables including luminance balance, 外观颜色, visibility of multiple visual tasks (often accomplished by a layered lighting system), 视觉舒适, 日光和景色, 控制，最后, 用户验收.”

但是DLC认证是必须的

然而，有一个处方是明确的:

“All new interior and exterior lighting shall utilize solid state high-efficiency luminaires that meet the requirements of DesignLights Consortium (DLC).”

The P100 essentially requires the pursuit of all applicable utility rebates and incentive programs at the local, 州和联邦一级的退税支票必须提交给GSA.

原样控制

P100 规定必须按照ASHRAE-90提供控制措施.1和其他BAS命令，如需求响应, emphasizing that controls not only enable greater energy efficiency but add to user satisfaction. 

In general, lighting is expected to support overall energy and sustainability mandates. In particular, new federal buildings must be designed to be 30% more efficient than ASHRAE90.1 energy consumption levels – and “the lighting system design should be developed to assist the overall building in achieving this goal.” 

The GSA also suggests it’s going to play a primary role in pushing the Federal Government into smart buildings, 在讨论控件的优点时，请注意:

“An additional element of lighting control shows the building manager the real time energy use of the different 构建系统 including lighting … to identify potential maintenance and operation issues or potential areas for additional energy savings.”

和…

“利用最新的十大赌博信誉的平台, 构建系统, 以及GSAlink等程序, GSA可以优化能源使用和操作.”

室外场地照明，露天停车场和道路照明

用于室外照明, the P100 refers lighting designers to the IES Handbook recommendations and stipulates that lighting:

“…must comply with the IDA/IES Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO) for lumen density limits and backlight, 光线, and glare (BUG) ratings or light pollution and light trespass performance method.

外部灯具和控制系统必须符合所有当地分区法, and lighting levels for exterior spaces must not exceed the IES Lighting Handbook recommendations.”

更多有关停车场建筑物的资料

这是P100相当具体的地方之一:

 “ASHRAE这样90.停车场灯具相关控制要求1.

灯具必须符合以下标准:

• 认识DesignLights Consortium第5版.0(室外中流明输出)或更高的功效要求.
• IP-66 & NEMA 4X级
• 耐机械振动
• 寿命最少50年,000 operating hours for solid state lighting before reaching the L70 as calculated per IES standard TM-21
• 按IES TM-15分类的灯具

基于占用传感器的出口、出口和封闭楼梯照明调光”

LED

最后, the P100 sets about to tame the wild west of LED retrofits with detailed constraints for their use, 包括光度测量和眩光控制的要求, UL评级, DLC资格, 0-10V可调光和“低风险”闪烁.

与此同时，P100鼓励 

“…installing linear LED retrofit kits during retrofits or when relamping fluorescent fixtures in facilities with high energy costs and higher light levels than required by P100.”

和…

“…installing LED downlight lamps to replace CFL fixtures during retrofits where advanced lighting controls are not desired or useful.”
