Nrca Lti 02 A PDF Details

In the dynamic realm of building construction and renovation within California, adherence to the state's stringent energy efficiency standards is both a legal requirement and a step towards sustainable development. Central to this compliance regime is the "CEC-NRCA-LTI-02-A Lighting Control Acceptance Document," a vital form issued by the California Energy Commission. Revised in April 2016, this document serves as a Certificate of Acceptance for lighting control systems, playing a pivotal role in ensuring that newly-installed or retrofitted lighting controls—ranging from automatic time switch controls and various types of occupancy sensors to daylighting controls (covered under separate documents)—meet the specific requirements set forth in the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. This comprehensive form not only guides the construction or renovation team through the necessary pre-implementation inspections but also outlines the detailed testing procedures required to demonstrate compliance. Such stringent testing protocols, encompassing everything from automatic shut-off capabilities to partial-off and partial-on functionality for occupancy sensors, ensure that the installed lighting systems contribute effectively to energy savings while maintaining functional efficacy. Moreover, by incorporating spaces for enforcement agency use and declaration statements from documentation authors and field technicians, the form fosters a transparent and accountable compliance process, ultimately facilitating the certification of buildings that prioritize energy efficiency through innovative lighting control technologies.

B. Functional Testing of Lighting Controls

Representative Spaces Selected

For every space in the building, conduct functional tests 1 through 5 below if applicable. If there are several geometrically similar spaces that use the same lighting controls, test only one space and list in the cells below which “untested spaces” are represented by that tested space.

EXCEPTION: For buildings with up to seven (7) occupancy sensors, all occupancy sensors shall be tested. (NA7.6.2.3)

Tested space/ room name:________________________ Space Type (office, corridor, etc)___________________

Step 1: Simulate occupied condition

a. All lights can be turned on and off by their respective area control switch

b.Verify the switch only operates lighting in the ceiling-height partitioned area in which the switch is located

Step 2: Simulate unoccupied condition

a.All lighting, including emergency and egress lighting, turns off. Exempt lighting may remain on per Section 130.1(c)1 and 130.1(a)1.

Manual override switch controls only the lights in the selected ceiling height

b.partitioned space where the override switch is located and the lights remain on no longer than 2 hours (unless serving public areas and override switch is captive key type).

Step 3: System returned to initial operating conditions

02. Occupancy Sensors

Step 1: Simulate an unoccupied condition

 

 

 

a.Lights controlled by occupancy sensors turn off within a maximum of 20 minutes from start of an unoccupied condition per Standard Section 110.9(b)

b.The occupant sensor does not trigger a false "on" from movement in an area adjacent to the controlled space or from HVAC operation

Step 2: Simulate an occupied condition

a.Status indicator or annunciator operates correctly

Lights controlled by occupancy sensors turn on immediately upon an occupied

b.condition OR sensor indicates space is "occupied" and lights may be turned on manually

Step 3: System returned to initial operating conditions

04. Partial On Occupancy Sensors

Step 1. -Simulate an occupied condition. Verify partial on operation.

After the first stage occurs, manual switches allow an occupant to activate the

b.alternate set of lights, activate 100% of the lighting power, and manually deactivate all of the lights.

Step 2. Simulate an unoccupied condition
