Dear All,
I have a question in modelling the lighting power density for high-rise residential development. Please see below extract from CIR#1712:

""Dwelling units are excluded from the allowable lighting power density. For EA credit 1, the exception listed in Table G3.1.6 states that lighting in multifamily guest rooms which are connected via receptacles and are not shown on the building plans should be modeled identically in the Baseline building and Proposed building simulations, but should be excluded (in post-processing) when calculating the Baseline building performance and Proposed building performance.""

Does it mean:
1) the LPD for both baseline and design shall be identical, and equal to 0.7W/sf.
2) The light consumption shall be ignored when calculating the energy saving. That is, the lighting power only consider as a heat source and reflect in cooling loading.
