Lighting Controls and Table 42 in NDBSCG

Post by L Headley »

My query is about the lighting efficacy with controls stated.

In table 42 of the non-domestic services compliance guide, it states the lm/w for different control schemes.

If I state my luminaire lm/w as 60 for example then have a control scheme of "daylit space with photo-switching and dimming" table 42 suggests a lm/w of 51.

Does IES apply this 0.85 factor to the 60 if I have specified my controls for each room? or do I need to use the value of 51 as well as specify the controls?

My initial thoughts are that the factor is applied to the specified Luminaire Efficacy within IES.

Thanks Luke
