If implemented properly (that might be a BIG if), it could result in 6% to 8% less energy use by a given building compared to the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standard, it says here.
From the article, on lighting:
“The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) has provided technical support on lighting related requirements in each iteration of the standard since 1975,” Rita Harrold, director of technology, said.
“IES continued that role in developing the energy efficiency provisions in the 2013 standard through modified LPDs and additional daylighting and controls strategies. The challenge to achieve higher energy efficiencies increases with each version of the standard and begins anew as we address targets for the 2016 edition.”
