FAQs about SSc4 :

My building doesn’t have any exterior lighting (no site lighting and no building-mounted lighting). Is my project eligible for this credit?

We have parking garage signs on the building exterior. We’re attempting Option 1 Fixture Shielding. Does the parking signage need to meet the requirements too?

What about lights on the roof? Do they have to comply?

What about exterior lighting owned by tenants?

Our project is a highrise office building in a downtown area. All exterior lights at the ground level comply with this credit, but at the highest points of the building, there is white lighting for aircraft collision avoidance as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Is this type of lighting exempt from this credit? Thank you in advance.

I would think it is excluded as a transportation related light.  This EBOM credit's language has no mention of the typical exemption.  I don't know if this was intentional or an oversite.
