2010-11-01Interior Lighting Fixtures
LEED Notes:
Refer to Section 01 35 18 – LEED Requirements for:
1.Requirements necessary for this project to obtain points required for certification.
2.Confirmation of LEED prerequisites and credits affecting this Section; not all are mandatory for certification
Maintain built-in sustainability regardless of LEED requirements for:
.1Recycling, reuse of materials, components and assemblies.
.2Diversion of construction waste from landfills.
.3Use of recycled materials, local materials, rapidly renewable and durable materials.
.4Maintain healthy indoor environment during constructing.
.5Provide for thermal comfort, access to views and daylight for indoor spaces.
.6Foster innovation into facility design and planning.
LEED Credits:
Sustainable Sites
Credit 8 – Light Pollution Reduction
SPEC NOTE:Light pollution is the result of excessive amounts of artificial light illuminating from a building site. Light from unshielded light sources and light reflecting off surfaces can illuminate and reflect off dust, debris and water vapor in the atmosphere to cause an effect known as sky glow. This adversely affects the ability to see the night sky, interferes with astronomical observatories, and disrupts nocturnal ecosystems. Also, excessive building lighting consumes unnecessary energy and natural resources.
Energy and Atmosphere
Prerequisite 2 – Minimum Energy Performance
SPEC NOTE:Though prerequisites do not contribute to a projects point score, they are mandatory and MUST be met for a project to receive LEED Canada – NC certification.
Credit 1 – Optimize Energy Performance
Indoor Environmental Quality
Credit 6.1 – Controllability of Systems: Lighting
SPEC NOTE:Building occupant comfort can by greatly increased by providing a high level of individual control over building systems such as lighting, vents, thermostats, and operational windows. This can result in fewer occupant complaints, reduce absenteeism, and increase employee performance.

3.Execution
3.1SUPPORTS
.1Refer to Section 260529.
.2Support fluorescent fixtures directly from building structure by rod hangers and inserts, on metal angle headers supported from framing structure of ceiling suspension system.
.3Provide plaster frames or plaster trim as required and turn same over to the ceiling section for installation.
.4Support fixtures larger than 600mm in width by four hangers per fixture minimum independent of ceiling structure or tee bars.
.5For recessed fluorescent fixtures mounted in suspended ceiling with exposed tee bar grid structure.
3.2LUMINAIRE WIRING
.1Connect recessed luminaires to outlet boxes with 10mm flexible conduit and 90°C wire.
3.3ADJUSTMENT AND CLEANING
.1Align luminaires and clean diffusers prior to final acceptance.
3.4FIXTURE SCHEDULE
SPECNOTE:List light fixtures by type, design and dimension. Coordinate with drawings.
SPECNOTE:Alberta Infrastructure policy is to specify metric only recessed fixtures to ensure compatibility with suspended acoustic unit ceilings in metric module and with 1160mm metric fluorescent lamps. When specifying recessed fixtures by manufacturer's part number, either on the drawings or in the specifications, the standard imperial part number must be prefixed with the capital letter "M". This will designate a "metric" fixture.
