Hello,
I'm currently working on a leed comment back from our LEED Reviewer from this project stating:
"3. Based on the information provided in the Lighting tab, the input reports, and the exterior lighting demand reported for each building in the Performance Outputs tabs, it appears the exterior lighting for the entire site may have been reported multiple times in the results for all three buildings" Update the exterior lighting information in the Lighting tab as necessary ensuring that sufficient information is provided to demonstrate
that allowable and as-designed lighting power for each individual building.
The lighting tab allows you to seperate the interior lighting by building ID in the MEP calculator; however, the exterior lighting looks like it can only allow you do one input and you can't seperate it out by building ID. Therefore the results in the peformance output will look the same for all three buildings. I'm sure I'm either missing a step or does anyone know a work around for this?

The Lighting tab calculates the total allowed and design exterior lighting power for the project site. These values must then be distributed among the various buildings in a way that makes sense based on how the exterior lighting relates to each building. For example, building entrance lighting would be assigned to each building it applies to, while lighting for shared parking areas would be divided among the buildings served by that parking area. The Performance Outputs tab for each building should only include the exterior lighting power and energy consumption corresponding to that building's assigned exterior lighting power, so that the sum of the power and consumptions for all Performance Outputs tabs would equal the total in the Lighting tab.
