Is there a minimum requirement for parking garage lumens that has to be met or is that a local municipality question? I'm wanting to make sure I do everything correct when I make a recommendation on their lighting.
 
Re: Parking garage lumens

It is not in the NEC. It's a design decision. Local authorities might have specific requirements, and the IES (Illuminating Engineering Society, I believe) has recommendations.

You want IESNA document RP-20-98, recommended practice for parking facilites, non-member price $45.00
By designing to IES standards you can help protect against liability from accidents. There is also a new document on security lighting out from IESNA.
