California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6) plays a vital role in ensuring energy efficiency for non-residential buildings, hotels/motels, and high-rise residences. The NRCA-LTI-05-A is a legally required acceptance document that verifies compliance for lighting systems within these commercial and industrial properties. In this blog post, we’ll cover how institutional tuning, a key aspect of NRCA-LTI-05-A, can benefit your business.
Institutional tuning allows you to reduce your lighting energy consumption without compromising functionality by strategically adjusting the maximum light output of your building’s fixtures. This doesn’t mean leaving your property in the dark. Instead, by setting a lower maximum level, you can still achieve optimal illumination while significantly reducing energy use.
NRCA-LTI-05-A outlines mandatory acceptance tests to verify the reduction in lighting power achieved through institutional tuning. These tests require expertise and specialized equipment, such as light meters and digital multimeters to measure illumination levels and electrical current before and after adjustments. This ensures the lighting remains functional and safe while significantly reducing energy consumption.
