Title XXIV - Overview
October 2005 Revisionsv
 Whole New Ball Game
 “Mandatory” Requirements
SC2 §§110-120, SC3 §§130-132
n Following the lead of ASHRAE,
TXXIV takes on the complexity
of the Internal Revenue Code
 Manifold “Approach(es)”
SC5 §§ 140-148
 “Method(s)” selections
SC5 §§146(b)(1)-(3)
 “Zone” designations

 Fixed “Definitions” SC1 §101

Mandatory Requirements (SC2)v
 These are Mandates – you have no
choice

 On/Off Switches
 Time Clocks

Title XXIV - Elements

Commercial Lighting
History - Rationalev
 California has been a “leader” in
entitlement-regulated energy efficiency
requirements since the 1980s.
n “First Switch Fluorescent” in Resi-
dential Kitchens & Bathrooms
n National Account chains had
“California” and “All Others” new
construction standards
Title XXIV – Bigger Picture

Commercial Lighting

n No need to regulate common sense
economic (feasible) measures
n Nevertheless there’s been an
interesting relationship between
technology and regulation
 T12 is dead
Commercial spaces however are largely
unaffected.
 Mandates to ban incandescent
 Magnetic/NPF ballastry
 Ceramic Metal Halide Evolution

Commercial Lighting
 Prior versions of the code were
basically benign, “do-gooder”, codified
“best practices” provisions.
n EPRI had forecast a 0% long-term
growth rate for electrical demand!
n Suddenly energy efficiency is a
matter of political life & death
 Then came the summer of 2001 and
California’s “Rolling Blackouts”
 Silicon Valley – The Dot Com Boom
 NIMBY – A power plant in every neighborhood

Commercial Lighting
 Efficiency Is The Answer
n Business will shoulder the Efficiency
imperative
n Politics won’t allow an intrusive
push into regulating existing
residential energy usage
 Look at Water Use Restrictions
n Entitlement Regulation – the path
of least resistance

How We Install Fluorescent Today
Line Voltage (120/277V)
is fed by branch circuit
to each fixture
v
 This is at least a two-step
process
n Rough-In
 Before ceiling is done
n Aka – “Home Run”
 Generally done by
the Contractor’s “A”
Team
 Journeyman – guys
who can run a crew
or job

To LCPWait Just a Minute!
What About…All This!
 Four-Fifths of the job
has got to wait…
Our electrical sub has to go away
until the ceiling and other
structural/mechanical elements are
completed!
 But the majority of his
labor scope remains
undone…

So Finish Work … is a lot of Work!
Finish Work is Most of the Work
Most of the Work is…most of the Cost!
Most of the cost is that point at
which we can realize the greatest
scale of savings for our client…

Innovation
How Can We Curtail Cost
So how can a fixture solution
help me to save money?
v
 How do we lessen the
(Finish Work) Scope?
 What about using a more
Cost-Effective fixture?
n Can we build it cheaper?
n Can we curtail those
Finish Work costs?

Modular Wiring

Modular Wiring Systems
Advantages of a Modular
Wiring System (MWS)
v
 Lower Cost
n Low-cost factory labor offsets
High-cost installation job-site
labor
 Schedule Control
n Installation labor scope of
work is vastly reduced –
goes in quickerer
n Nearly eliminates trade
conflicts

Advantages of a Modular
Wiring System (MWS)
v
 EC’s Prefer MWS Systems
& Specifications
n Very popular with the Design
& Build crowd
n Familiar Method/Technology
n Reduces required manpower
on the job site
And let’s face it…
What’s good for the Contractor…
…isn’t necessarily bad for the Client!

n Many manufacturers
n Broad acceptance in the
marketplace
But Wait a Minute!
So what’s new about modular wiring?
 MWS has been around for a
quite a while…
Do you use it on every job?
Why not?
Would you use it MORE if there were a better way?

Innovation
A Better Way to do MWS
n How do they do that?
n You can’t use Romex on a
Commercial jobsite?
Notice Anything Different?
 No Conduit…
Hint
n I thought this was
Commercial Fluorescent?
So what exactly does this do for us?

How Modulight Saves
The saving begin at
Rough-In…
v
 Line Voltage (120/277V) is
fed only to remote power
converters.
n Think of the power
converters as remote
(twelve-lamp) ballasts
To LCP
 The power converter is
pre-mounted to a 4-Inch J-
Box Cover…
n Three wire connections
and it’s buttoned-up –
rough-in is done!

Innovation
How Modulight Saves
The saving begin at
Rough-In…
v
 The contractor simply
mounts a series of 4-Inch
junction boxes along the
meridian line of his home
run
To LCP
n Because it’s an MWS
installation he doesn’t
worry about branching
through the plenum
n From a Installation-
Labor standpoint this is
very efficient…

Innovation
How Modulight Saves
is fed only to the remote
power converters
v
 A straight home run is
all the Line-feed that’s
needed
n Rough in & all branch
circuiting is now done
in one step!
n Only cable bundles will
run through the ceiling
 Branching is encompassed by the increased
scope of the finish-work element

What about the Finish Work?
It’s as easy…
as plug

 The cable makes it
possible

Innovation
How Modulight Saves
Scope of Finish Work –
Reduced to Plug & Play
v
 Contractor places the
fixtures
After the Ceiling is Done…
 Runs the cable from the
power converters and
between fixtures
And…
Nothing!
He’s done – he goes home, he gets
paid, he out of the GC’s way…

Innovation
So How Much Do We Save?v
 Labor goes from 80% of
the job (remember that
figure) to about 20%
How Modulight Saves
It depends on who you ask…
Remember these guys?
Here’s what they say…
 Installation Labor plummets
by 75%
 Total job cost is lopped by
25%
Wow!

Innovation
So What do We Say?v
 We think the client can
save between 20% and
40% depending on the
installation
How Modulight Saves
And that’s not all we say…
We Guarantee it!

Innovation
A Word about Warrantiesv
 Advance Ballast – standard
for the industry - publishes
their warranty of five (5)
years (pg 1-23).
How Modulight Saves
Which is pretty good…
But not as good as ours!

Innovation
A Word about Warrantiesv
How Modulight Saves
 The Modulight warranty
stretches the industry’s best
by one full year
 We publish our warranty on
our spec sheets, in our
product brochure, and on
our web site:
