NC-v4 SSc6: Light pollution reduction
Hi, we have a project where they are using string lighting to light a pathway. Is string lighting exempt from the Light Trespass/Uplight requirements due to the low wattage based on ASHRAE or LEED?

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?

Summer,
Wattage has nothing to do with it.
If you use the BUG method option to comply, then you can determine the BUG rating for each individual lamp on the string and consider that a light fixture, and then based on the Lighting Zone you are in you could determine compliance.
Do you know the type of "string lights" you will be using?
