First, choose an appropriate “Building Area Type” from the allowance table (505.5.2)
“Building Area” includes all spaces that are associated with that business or function type.
For example a space with:• Corridors,• Restrooms,• A lobby, and• Office space
…would be considered an Office Building Area Type
Then...multiply the lighting power density (W/ft2) by the total building square footage to get allowed watts for compliance
