The user has the option to confirm that the exterior lighting meets part 4 prescriptive requirements and exclude it from the energy simulation
A dialog carries out a 4.2.3.1.(5) requirements check for building exterior applications not covered in table 4.2.3.1.D.
Input the lighting zone, surface areas for the reference model and W values for the proposed model. The reference exterior lighting load will be calculated based on the guidance provided in NECB section 4.2.3 & assigned as a miscellaneous energy consumption.
The dialog carries out a part 4 prescriptive requirements check for information only.
The dialog carries out a 4.2.3.1.(5) prescriptive requirements check for building exterior applications not covered in table 4.2.3.1.D.
To review the calculated load see the miscellaneous energy consumption dialog which can be accessed from the NECB menu:
Exterior lighting is controlled using a default formula profile that simulates astronomical time controls and photo sensors. See NECB section 4.2.4 for further details on exterior lighting controls.
