Emergency lighting - KBCN0185
Maintained systems featuring emergency light fittings which are also used for normal operation, are assessed for this issue.
Non-maintained lighting which is only activated in an emergency can be excluded from the assessment.
NC / RFO / BIU V6 Ene 17: The aim of these credit(s) is to encourage and recognise energy-efficient fittings. Non-maintained emergency lighting will very rarely be activated and in such extremes the emergency requirements must not be compromised.
BIU V6 Hea 05: Flicker is eliminated from maintained systems only.
24-Jan-2024 - Scheme applicability updated to include BIU V6.
Erratum – scope of issue - KBCN1498
Criterion 1 states:
"Where external lighting or car park lighting are not necessary from a safety perspective, the associated credits can be filtered out of the assessment."
What this means is:
- Where external lighting does not exist, filter out the relevant credits.
- Where car park lighting does not exist, filter out the relevant credits.
- Whether or not the lighting exists for safety reasons has no effect on credit filtering.
The inclusion of the word 'safety' in this criteria is misleading and will be removed in future versions.
