I have a question that applies to CA T24. After hours of document review I am unable to locate the T24 requirements for medical rooms such as mammograms, MRIs, ETC. I would greatly appreciate any information on how our control requirements apply to these types of rooms. I will likely be using Nlight or Wattstopper DLM. Thank you.
i've done certification on health care facilities.
basically, the standard T24 rules apply.
occupancy sensors, full range dimming, local controls, and daylight
harvesting if your lighting in affected zones is over 120 watts.
over 10k square footage on scope of work, demand response.
one weird one was a cosmetic surgery center in santa monica.
of all things, they had windows in the surgical procedure
rooms. who puts windows in an operating room?
in any event, some areas, such as food prep areas, are exempt
from both dimming, and daylight harvesting. health department rules
supercede energy savings.
i reached the brilliant decision that your facelift turning out well
was at least as important as if your broccoli and hummus and
artisan bread plate turned out well.
no daylight harvesting on surgical rooms. the owner of the facility
and chief surgeon agreed.
on a professional level, go with nLight or lutron vive if you have a choice. honest.
