CS-v4 SSc6: Light pollution reduction
Hello, in one of our projects, there is a playground lit by lighting fixtures around it. Can these lighting fixtures be considered as landscape fixtures, so they could be excluded from the lighting calculations if they are switched off between 00:00-06:00.
The lighting area is MLO LZ3.
Thanks in advance

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?
What’s the difference between the Project Boundary and the Lighting Boundary?

Generally no. There's not a lot of definitions for this credit. Landscape lights highlight plants. And these lights are not being used solely for landscape.
How bright were you making the playground? How did you count the ASHRAE wattage allowance for this area?
