Hi,

On a Arena Sports stadium we are considering the "Building method Area" for the Interior Lighting.

For the external lighting I am considering the Ashrae baseline and the project information for the proposed. (in W)

And for the Playground field I have the project LPD (W/m2) to input on the proposed building, but I don´t know how to consider it for the baseline.

Should I consider the same value of the proposed?

Thanks in advance.

This lighting is exempt from 90.1 and is therefore considered a process or unregulated load. As such it needs to be identical to the proposed.

Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?

Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

Can I claim exterior lighting savings for canopy lighting even though a baseline model cannot include shading elements?

The project is built on a site with existing exterior lighting installed. How should this be accounted for?
