Lighting Office Spaces
IES (Illuminating Engineering Society)
BSR/IES RP-1-201x, Recommended Practice: Lighting Office Spaces (revision of ANSI/IES RP-1-2013)
For many people, the office is the environment where they spend the majority of their waking adult lives. The expectation is that the
time spent in the office will be useful and productive, and that the physical environment will be healthy. The design of the office greatly
influences how well the space meets the needs of the workers and their organization. Lighting is a critical element of the design that
may enhance or degrade the work experience and affect the well-being of the workers. Beyond supporting worker performance,
lighting may also affect the bottom line of the organization by making the best use possible of materials and electricity.

Standards Alaska
University of Alaska Fairbanks
As we explain in our ABOUT, we are continuing the development of the cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993. We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.
Standards Michigan will remain the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Alaska will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters. Please send [email protected] a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest for #SmartCampus standards action in the State of Alaska.

Sustainability Leadership for Photovoltaic Modules
“Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” / Bruegel, Pieter de Oude (1558)
NSF International has launched a new revision cycle for its standard NSF 457 Sustainability Leadership Standard for Photovoltaic Modules. The scope of this Standard includes PV modules for installation on, or integral with buildings, or to be primarily used as components of free-standing power-generation systems, including but not necessarily limited to:
— photovoltaic cells that generate electric power using solar energy;
— interconnects (materials that conduct electricity between cells);
— encapsulant (insulating material enclosing the cells and cell interconnects);
— superstrate (material forming primary light-facing outer surface) and substrate (material forming back outer surface) (e.g., glass, plastic films);
— wires used to interconnect photovoltaic modules and connect junction boxes to the balance of system equipment;
— frame or integrated mounting mechanism, if present.
The following are not included:
— balance of system equipment, such as cabling and mounting structures, equipment intended to accept the electrical output from the array, such as power conditioning units (inverters) and batteries, unless they are contained in the photovoltaic module;
— a photovoltaic cell that is a part of another device for which it produces the electricity, such as consumer or industrial electronic products (e.g., calculators, lights, textile) where the photovoltaic cell primarily provides the energy needed to make the electronic product function; and
— mobile photovoltaic cell where the inverter is so integrated with the photovoltaic cell that the solar cell requires disassembly before
recovery.
This Standard establishes measurable criteria for multiple levels of sustainability/environmental leadership achievement and performance throughout the lifecycle of the product. This Standard addresses multiple attributes and environmental performance categories including management of substances, preferable materials use, life cycle assessments, energy efficiency and water use,
responsible end-of-life management and design for recycling, product packaging, and corporate responsibility.
