Wondering where I can find about an energy code that discusses the lumens need for kitchen lighting?
The energy code gives you maximum wattage per foot for allowable lighting in buildings. It does not address lumens needed for a space.
The building code does contain a minimum requirement for illumination for means of egress. IBC Section 1006.2 requires that the illumination level at the floor be not less than 1 foot-candle.

Isn't there a minimum illumination required in kitchens by the health dept.
NC energy conservation code was official on March 1. Here is a partial table for commercial spaces. The same table also has for the entire building
