where can i find the footcandle requirements?

[crankbait09]

I have a retail project that I am currently working on for the state of Indiana. Can anyone tell me where I can find the footcandle requirements that Indiana follows? I know about the IES handbook, but I was wondering if Indiana has there own guideline of mandatory light levels.

Any one know this answer?

Try calling the local building (inspections) department and see what they say

Were there any typical spaces you were looking to get recommended fc levels?

The CA Energy Code allows 1.6 watts a square foot. So since that's a regulated number and all the retail here seems to have enough light, that may be a number you could start with.

Interior or exterior lighting?
New construction or remodel?
If remodel, is it a change in occupancy classification?

Didn't even notice. I don't often go to this forum and it was only about two or three down from the top when I did, so I just assumed that it was new.:slaphead:
