1. How does one overcome the limitation of number of rows in the ASHRAE Lighting Compliance Documentation PDF form? For example, on page number 2, there are ten rows for entering luminaires by ID, our project has more than 13 types of luminaires. 2. What is the best way to deal with shell spaces set aside for future planning when following the space-by-space method for Lighting Power Calculations? I have to check what the lighting situation in there exactly is but it may either have existing lighting or some nominal lighting in there until further development. Thank you.

Typically, I deal with problem 1 by adding additional page 2's to the original ASHRAE form. I also make sure to add a note such as " Continued on next page" at the bottom of the form.

2. You can claim savings if there is a lighting design for those spaces or if they are tenant spaces you would need a lease agreement clause requiring a lower lighting power density in those spaces. Otherwise the spaces would be modeled identical to the baseline level.
