Course Description: AEC Daily: How Energy Codes Affect Plug Load and Lighting Controls
Energy codes at the federal, state, and local levels increasingly focus on reducing energy consumption, saving consumers money, and reducing CO2 emissions. Whether new or recently updated, energy codes play an essential role in the buildings we design, build, and ultimately live, work, and play in. This course examines the lighting requirements and provisions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 and the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code®, with a focus on plug and lighting control strategies for energy efficiency.
Recall, when designing lighting control systems, why energy codes are beneficial for buildings and the environment, what they cover, and what factors drive their ongoing evolution.
Identify the most appropriate code compliance method and which codes apply at the federal, state, and city levels.
Specify the appropriate plug and lighting control requirements as stated in the energy codes.
Design lighting control systems to save energy, reduce costs, and improve overall system performance.
Identify code-compliant lighting control strategies for each building space in order to improve overall building energy efficiency.
