If a light is under an overhang, is its U rating always 0?
What’s the difference between the Project Boundary and the Lighting Boundary?
Is existing lighting required to be included in the calculations? What are the exceptions?
Does athletic field lighting need to be included in this credit?

CS-v4 SSc6:Light pollution reduction
I'm working on an office/industrial mixed use development. Our lighting designer is not familiar with the BUG rating system and has asked if there is an equivalent standard in Ireland we could refer to? In addition, does anyone have a list of equivalent standards across all credits for Ireland (and perhaps other countries) that would be of use for work outside the US?
In terms of the Light Pollution credit we can always use option 2 - calculation method as an alternative.
Many thanks
