Question 28

HHWB C6.8- Reduce light pollution

Intent

Answer 28

Minimize negative effects on nocturnal environments and human health and functioning, reduce sky-glow, and increase nighttime visibility by reducing light trespass on site.

Question 29

HHWB C6.8- Reduce light pollution

Requirements - general

Answer 29

4 points

In order to reduce light pollution:

Meet uplight and light trespass requirements for all exterior luminaires located inside
the project boundary (except those listed under “Exemptions”) using one of the two methods below, based on:
- The photometric characteristics of each luminaire when mounted in the same orientation and tilt as specified in the project design
- The lighting zone of the project property (at the time construction begins). Classify the project under one lighting zone using the definitions provided in the Illuminating Engineering Society and International Dark Sky Association (IES/IDA) Model
Lighting Ordinance (MLO) User Guide.
Note: Projects may use different methods for uplight and light trespass (backlight and glare).

For internally illuminated exterior signage within the project boundary:
- Do not exceed a luminance of 200 candelas per square meter (nits) during nighttime hours and 2,000 candelas per square meter (nits) during daytime hours. Illumination for front-lighted signage is considered façade or landscape lighting and must comply with uplight and light trespass lighting requirements.

Question 30

HHWB C6.8- Reduce light pollution

Requirements

Method 1: BUG rating method

Answer 30

Do not exceed the luminaire backlight, uplight, and glare (BUG) ratings (see for the project’s MLO lighting zone, based on the specific light source installed in the luminaire. Backlight and glare ratings are also based on the mounting location and distance from the lighting boundary. For guidance on determining ratings for luminaires, refer to the Documentation guidance section below.

The lighting boundary is the SITES project boundary. The lighting boundary can be modified under the following conditions:
- When the lighting boundary abuts a public area that is a walkway, bikeway, plaza, or parking lot, the lighting boundary may be moved to five feet (1.5 meters) beyond the property line.
- When the lighting boundary abuts a public roadway or public transit corridor, the lighting boundary may be moved to the center line of that roadway or corridor.
- The lighting boundary may be expanded to include additional properties contiguous to the SITES project if the additional property is owned by the same entity and has the
same or higher MLO lighting zone designation.

Orient all luminaires located at a distance that is less than two mounting heights from the
lighting boundary such that the backlight points toward the nearest lighting boundary line. The backlight rating requirement excludes building-mounted luminaires with the backlight
oriented toward the building.

Question 31

HHWB C6.8- Reduce light pollution

Requirements

Method 2 - Calculation method

Answer 31

Use percentages for Uplight

Light trespass (backlight & glare)
- Do not exceed the following vertical illuminances at the lighting boundary. (Use the definition of lighting boundary in Method 1). Calculation points may be no more than
five feet (1.5 meters) apart. Calculate the vertical illuminance on vertical planes running parallel to the lighting boundary. The normal to each plane should be oriented toward the
property and perpendicular to the lighting boundary, extending from grade level to 33 feet (10 meters) above the height of the highest luminaire.

Exemptions from uplight and light trespass requirements

The following exterior lighting is exempt from the requirements, provided it is controlled
separately from the nonexempt lighting:
- Specialized signal, directional, and marker lighting for transportation
- Lighting that is used solely for façade and landscape lighting in MLO lighting zones 3 and 4, and is automatically turned off from midnight until 6 a.m.
- Lighting that is integral to other equipment or instrumentation that has been installed by the equipment or instrumentation manufacturer
- Lighting for theatrical purposes for stage, film, and video performances
- Government-mandated roadway lighting
- Hospital emergency departments, including associated helipads
- Lighting for the national flag in MLO lighting zones 2, 3, or 4
- Internally illuminated signage

Question 32

Question 33

HHWB C6.8- Reduce light pollution

Submittal docs

Method 2 - Calculation method

Answer 33

• MLO lighting zone classification for the site
• Exterior lighting plan and fixture schedule documenting the locations, time of use, and type of fixtures installed
• Photometric testing data for each type of luminaire or product cut sheets with photometric data
• Completed table for the site lumen calculations. The following data will be required to complete the calculation:
  > Luminaire type
  > Quantity installed
  > Initial fixture lumens per luminaire

Question 34

HHWB C6.8- Reduce light pollution

Documentation guidance

Method 1 - BUG rating method

Answer 34

Figure 6.8-F describes the zones to be measured for each luminaire in order to determine the BUG ratings for Method 1. Zones are based on the spherical secondary solid angles
created by light emitted from the luminaire. Determine the rating for each zone using Tables 6.8-G through J. The overall rating is then determined by taking the maximum rating obtained for that table. For example, if the BH zone is rated B1, the BM zone is rated B2, and the BL zone is rated B1, then the backlight rating for the luminaire is B2.
