Why are warehouses required to be 50% below the 90.1 standards while all other buildings receive an incentive for being 25%-40% below standards?
Warehouse operations vary greatly. The 90.1 code allows enough power for very active warehouses, with very high ceilings, lit to high light levels. However, many existing warehouses operate at low lighting levels with low power densities that are already at a level 25% below the 90.1 standard. Therefore, the incentive is more stringent in this application.
