OSTI ID:5278979
The Energy Conservation for New Buildings Act of 1976, as amended, 42 USC Section 6831 et. seq. requires the US Department of Energy to issue energy conservation standards for the design of new commercial and residential buildings. The standards will be mandatory only for the design of new federal buildings, and will serve as voluntary guidelines for the design of new nonfederal buildings. This report documents the development and testing of a set of recommendations that will serve as the basis for the Congressionally-mandated conservation standard for new commercial buildings. The recommendations have been developed and tested over the past 18 months by a multidisciplinary project team. The report has been issued in four volumes consisting of 40 separate publications. This book (Appendix C to Volume II) presents documentation on the resarch conducted in support of Section 4 of the recommendations, Illumination Systems. The documentation consists of a textual description of the process and analyses, summary results from those analyses, and a few samples of specific individual research results.
