Motor Sizing.  Motor horsepower ratings shall not exceed the calculated maximum load served by more than 25%.  If a standard rated motor is not available within the desired range, the next larger standard size may be used.

Energy-efficient lighting guidelines:
Light levels: 30 fc in administrative areas, 10 fc in hallways.
Lighting power densities shall not exceed 1.5 W/sf, with goal of less than 1 Wlsf.
Design lighting with separate on-off switching for each zone within a space.
Install occupancy sensors in hallway, latrines, classrooms, and meeting rooms.
Take advantage of daylighting potential.
Where daylighting is used, provide photosensors for electric lighting control.

Electronic Ballasts Specifications:
UL listed Class P.
Sound Rated A.
Total Harmonic Distortion greater than or equal to IO%, third harmonic distortion less than 6%.
Power factor must be greater than or equal to 95%.
Ballast factor must be greater than or equal to 0.88.
Lamp current crest factor less than or equal to 1.7.
Flicker 5% or less with any lamp suitable for ballast.
Minimum 5 year warranty.

Fluorescent Lamp Specifications:
In general, lamps shall be 265 mA "t-8" rapid start type as follows:
2' lamps shall be 17 watt F17T8.
3' lamps shall be 25 watt F25T8.
4' lamps shall be 32 watt F32T8.
5' lamps shall be 40 watt F4OT8.
1'MOL U-Iamps shall be 16 watt FB16TS.
1.5'MOL U-Iamps shall be 24 watt FB24T8.
2'MOL U-Iamps shall be 31 watt FB31 TS.
Color: Lamps shall be 3500 Kelvin correlated temperature.
Color Rendering Index: Lamps shall have a minimum CRI of 80 through the use of rare earth phosphor coatings.

Compact Fluorescent Lamp/Ballast Specifications:
Color Rendering Index: Lamps shall have a rninimurn CRI of 80 through the use of rare earth phosphor coatings.
Color: Lamps shall be of 2700, 3000, 3500, or 5000 Kelvin correlated temperature.
Lamp efficacy must be at least 50 lumens/waft.
Ballast must be of High Power Factor (HPF) type, capable of increasing power factor to 90%.
