E2.26 Outdoor Lights are Energy Efficient
ATX LED Comment - no problem
| Requirement | All installed exterior lights are low voltage, photovoltaic, fluorescent, or operate on
motion sensors or timers
|
Points 2
| Include this point if all of the outdoor lighting that is controlled by the switches in the individual unit are energy efficient. Often this will be the light outside the tenant’s door. |
Intent
| Outdoor lighting, including exterior house, path, and driveway lights, typically consumes a great deal of energy, especially when left on throughout the entire night. Suggested choices for brightly lit outdoor spaces like patios include using fluorescent bulbs and fixtures with electronic ballasts, low-pressure sodium, or mercury vapor lamps.
Photovoltaic systems are a good choice for walkways, driveways, and landscaping. Most available units have storage batteries that will charge during daylight hours and power the lights all night; some will even provide power for 2 to 3 days in case the weather is cloudy. Motion sensors are recommended for outdoor lighting, particularly if incandescent floodlights are used. Low voltage landscape lights that operate on a timer are also an energy efficient choice.
