Use VA Master Specifications. Edit each section for
the particular application. Do not use manufacturer's
names or model numbers in any specification.

Design Approach:
A.
The designer is expected to be knowledgeable of all
current lighting design requirements included in the
IES, NFPA and the NEC. Note any requirements
which deviate from the VA's standards and/or design
guides and bring them to the VA's attention. When
such deviations occur, provide recommendations
which are applicable to that specific project.
B.
The designer is encouraged to inform the VA and
request approval for the implementation of any
different, new or improved lighting products and/or
systems which may be beneficial to the VA in providing
more suitable lighting, more energy efficient lighting or
other cost savings.
C. The designer shall provide an analysis and a
recommendation concerning the possible use of
Specular Reflector Light Fixtures (SRLF) at the S2
(schematic) submission.
1.
The analysis shall compare the installation of
standard fluorescent fixtures (without specular
reflectors) with those which include specular
reflectors. Determine the cost effectiveness of
the specular reflector light fixtures by initial cost
and energy consumption comparisons and any
other applicable method(s).
2.
The fixture and reflector must be a standard
product with published photometric
characteristics from at least three manufacturers.
3.
The areas of consideration shall be corridors,
offices and any other areas where non-uniform
lighting would be acceptable. Provide typical
calculations if adequate to make the
comparisons.
