applied across North America. While energy efficiency is a priority in today’s lighting design practice, so
NON-RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS are occupant comfort, health and wellness. A successful lighting design balances these objectives where
Cooper Lighting Solutions can assist to achieve those goals.
LIGHTING POWER ALLOWANCES
On average, indoor lighting power allowances have been reduced by 37% for the Complete Building Method and
29% for the Area Category and Tailored Method. Outdoor lighting power allowances have been reduced by an CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
average of 23%. These reductions are based on the assumption that all New Construction, Alterations and Additions ESTIMATED REDUCTION BENEFITS FROM CODE COMPLIANCE:

ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS: The Additions, Alterations and Repairs section has been simplified.
Now, the trigger for all Alterations is 10% of the luminaires serving an enclosed space. Similar to 2016, there are Title 24 Guidelines for Controlled Lighting
three paths to compliance, but now, all share a universal set of exemptions and more clear-cut requirements. Factors to consider in lighting design include human needs, like visibility, safety and comfort; and environmental and
economic issues, such as energy, equipment costs and sustainability. Additionally, how well the lighting complements

Additionally, products marked with JA8-2016/JA8-2016-E may be installed in permitted construction.

COLOR QUALITY
JA8 now aligns with the Appliance Efficiency Regulations for color rendering index (CRI) requirements of state-
regulated LED lamps. In addition, the 2019 JA8 now requires that all light sources be capable of providing a correlated
color temperature (CCT) of 4,000 Kelvin or less.

MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

In low-rise multifamily residential buildings where the total interior common area is more than 20% of the floor area,
the permanently installed lighting for the interior common areas must adhere to the nonresidential requirements.
In high-rise residential buildings, all common areas must meet the nonresidential lighting and controlled receptacle This guide was developed based upon published Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (CEC-400-
