LightingandBranchWiring SelectionCriteria

Lighting installations shall be carefully planned to be functional, easy to maintain and energy
efficient. Lighting shall be provided shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the IESNA
Handbook and ASHRAE 90.1.

Consideration should be given to daylight integration and control, glare reduction, illuminance (both
horizontal and vertical), uniformity of light distribution over the task plane and color appearance.
Lighting requirements should be assessed based on the visual tasks particular to a specific area.
These tasks can be reading, writing, etc.
Selected lighting fixtures will be available from multiple manufacturers. Specifying custom-made
fixtures or a wide variety of fixtures should be avoided.

Fluorescent lighting will be generally used throughout and selected for specific room requirement.
Incandescent fixtures shall be utilized in specialty areas and at the bare minimum level. Employ new
developments in the fluorescent lamp industry and luminaries technology regarding energy
efficiency such as T-5 tubes and electronic ballasts. However, areas dedicated to health care and
housing diagnostic and monitoring Equipment, shall be provided with T-8 tubes and magnetic
ballasts to avoid interference problems.

For high ceiling sports halls, High Intensity Discharge (HID) and fluorescent light sources shall be
utilized.

Lighting layout should be coordinated with the false ceiling layout and other fixtures and
obstructions in the ceiling. Specify the highest efficiency luminaire for each specific area.

Provide low glare fixtures in supplemented with task lighting.

IlluminationofMeansofEgressandEmergencyLighting

Illumination of means of egress shall be provided in exit stairs access corridors, in exit stairs and in
exit dis- charge ground floors lobbies. Illumination shall be maintained and un-switched. Floors and
walking surfaces shall be illuminated to values of at least 10 lux measured at the floor. Required
illumination shall be arranged so that the failure of any single lighting unit does not result in an
illumination level of less than 2 lux in any designated area.

Illumination of Means of Egress shall be fed from the Standby/Emergency Power Supply System of
the building.
Additional emergency lighting shall be provided for all public areas (such as restrooms and lecture
halls). Selected night-lights shall be maintained within the building to ensure easy circulation.

For certain critical areas (such as the transformer room, the main switchboard room, the generator
room and the main communication room), lighting fixtures equipped with self-contained
rechargeable battery packs for a minimum duration of 1 1/2 hours in accordance with NFPA 70
Article 700, shall be pro- vided.

Marking ofMeansofEgress: Exit Signs

Approved signs in compliance with NFPA 101 shall mark exits and exit access; directional signs
shall be placed in every location where the direction of travel is not apparent.

Exit signs shall be ceiling or wall mounted, single or double faced as required illuminated and
provided with graphical legends. Exit signs shall be maintained.

In addition to being fed from the Standby/Emergency Power Supply System of the building, exit
signs shall be provided with self-contained re-chargeable battery packs ensure continuity of lighting
in the interval that extends between mains power supply and generator supply for a minimum
duration of 2 hours.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) light exit signs shall be utilized. Colors, legend and dimensions of exit
signs shall comply with NFPA 101 requirements.

LightingControl

Power consumption of lighting installations must be minimized by implementing lighting control

measures during periods of no occupancy or during penetration of daylight through the windows
and skylights.

Lighting of building interiors such as corridors, lobbies, storage rooms, utility rooms, inside
appartments with infrequent or intermit- tent occupancy, shall be controlled using motion sensors
(occupancy detectors) whenever requirerd.

For large halls, employ light zoning to maximize use of daylight. That way, switching of perimeter
rows of light near the windows separately may be possible whenever daylight allows through
photocells and dimmers. Zoning also allows switching off the lights in zones of inactivity.

Use photocells control of staircases provided with day- light.

Lighting of outdoor areas shall be controlled by photocells and also from BMS.
