13、 NEMA LE 6-2014 Page i 2014 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Foreword This standards publication was developed to assist individuals purchasing or designing lighting systems for interior or exterior applications in determining the Target Efficacy Rating (TER) of a lighting product. The

14、TER is intended to be a metric, among many other considerations, to evaluate the energy effectiveness of a lighting installation. Creation of this standards publication was prompted by the need of the luminaire manufacturing industry for a uniform method of determining the energy effectiveness of it

15、s products. The NEMA LE 6-2009 (R2014) standard supersedes the NEMA LE 5, LE 5A, and LE 5B standards for Luminaire Efficacy Ratings (LER). It is not the intent of this standards publication to inhibit luminaire design or to impose arbitrary tolerances on any luminaire manufacturer. Further, it is no

16、t the intent of this standards publication to be used to regulate luminaires, since many other factors related to visibility, color, contrast, glare, uniformity, and other metrics must be considered based on application requirements. The preparation of this standards publication was done by the Lumi

17、naire Section, in close cooperation with the Lamp and Ballast sections of the NEMA Lighting Systems Division. Input of users and other interested parties has been sought and evaluated. Inquiries, comments, and proposed or recommended revisions should be submitted to the Indoor Lighting Section of NE

26、y and procurement officials with a practical and uniform method for calculating a metric to evaluate and compare the “energy effectiveness” of luminaires. b) provide the ability for construction or renovations focused on sustainable design to evaluate the energy performance of luminaires. c) provide

27、 electrical utility companies with a method to establish performance criteria for luminaires for use with energy savings rebate programs. d) provide a methodology for luminaires that considers all components of the luminaire, as well as the effectiveness of the luminaire optics, to deliver light to

28、an intended task. e) define categories for types of luminaire products based on function, physical or dimensional attributes, and optical characteristics of luminaires to enable qualified energy comparisons within a category of product. f) preserve for luminaire manufacturers and the lighting indust

29、ry the right to use laboratory facilities, testing methods, and completed test data that currently exist and are in accordance with approved industry standards.
