Topic 1
About CBD Tenancy Lighting Assessments
What is the CBD program
 The CBD program is the initiative of the Council of
Australian Governments (COAG).
 The program was established under the Building Energy
Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 and is managed by the
Australian Government Department of the Environment &
Energy
 To promote the disclosure of energy efficiency information
of large Australian office buildings with an outcome of
improving the energy efficiency of these buildings.
Objective of the CBD program
 To disclose consistent and meaningful energy efficiency
information about large office buildings that are for sale or
lease to everyone (buyers, sellers and tenants).
 This information empowers the market with information
that encourages energy efficiency improvements.
 Twin impacts – better price for efficient buildings, and
lower greenhouse gas impacts.
What is Building Energy Efficiency Certificate
 Under the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure (BEED)
Act 2010
─ A Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC) is required for sale, lease or
sub-lease office space of 2,000m² or more. This threshold will reduce to
1,000m² on 1 July 2017.
 The BEEC is comprised of three parts
─ Part 1 - A base/whole building NABERS rating
─ Part 2 - A Tenancy Lighting Assessment
─ Energy efficiency guidance for building owners and tenants (now available on
the CBD website).
What is a CBD Tenancy Lighting Assessment?
 An assessment of the energy efficiency of office lighting
systems
─ Lighting power density
 “General lighting system” - primarily open plan office lighting
 Nominal – not the same as BCA Part J6
─ Control capacity
 No judgment on effectiveness
 Doesn’t assess actual consumption
─ What it can do – not how it is currently used
Why have the assessments?
 Provide information to prospective tenants or owners
about the efficiency of the system
─ Effects cost to run of different spaces
─ Effects NABERS Tenancy Energy ratings.
 Provides guidance to owners / tenants to upgrade
inefficient lighting systems
 Leasa App – assisting tenants to choose
energy efficient office space
Guiding principles
 Fair comparison between tenancies
 Robust and repeatable
 Cost effective and timely

Who can do a Tenancy Lighting Assessment
 Accredited CBD assessor
─
Check the CBD website www.cbd.gov.au
 Training requirements
─
Must be a fully accredited NABERS assessor
─
Attend this session and pass the accreditation exam
─
Pass the CBD program module (online via CBD website)
─
Register for the CBD assessor portal (instructions provided by CBD team)
Processes and procedures
 Customer
─ Agree fee for services including possible initial site investigation
─ Obtain required information
 Tenants
─ Negotiate access, ensure all parties are aware that someone will be entering
their offices to assess lighting, sometimes you may need to do it after hours
 Security and OH&S
─ Follow all site and tenant induction and OH&S requirements
─ Have general and site specific safe work methods statements
─ See TLA Rules section 5.2 for more information
Lighting Assessment process
 Site inspection by Accredited Assessor
 Complete the Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA)
application on the CBD Assessor Portal
 Submit TLA to CBD team (with or without BEEC
application)
 CBD team conducts a desktop audit of the TLA
application
 CBD team issue a certified TLA
Assessment timing
 Lodge assessment within 4 months of assessment date
(from the first site visit date)
 CBD Service Charter is to process 90% of all applications
within 10 working days but allow a max. of 15 days to
process a TLA application or a max. of 28 days to process
a BEEC application
 Inform clients of processing timeframes as there
is No prioritisation
Record keeping processes
 Retain records for seven years
 Retain primary data from assessment
─ Site photos notes and marked up drawings
─ Leases or contractual agreements used in assessments
 Summary data only is not acceptable
─ Must be sufficient for an assessor / auditor to accurately repeat the
assessment from documentation only
 All evidence needs to be provided to the CBD
administrator upon request
Record keeping processes
 Logical filing of evidence is essential
 Poor documentation is the primary cause for failing audits
 Assessor portal and TLA Rules provide guidance on
documentation requirements
 Lighting assessments can be audited up to seven years
after the BEEC has been issued
Administrative processes
 Submission requirement
─ 4 months from date of first inspection to submission
 Validity of assessment
─ Valid for five years from certification date
─ Assessors will be able to amend existing TLAs with owners permission (TLA
expiry date remains the same i.e. do not receive another 5 years validity)
 Interpretation of rules – CBD administrator
 Dispute resolution
─ With client
─ With CBD administrator
Topic 2
Understanding the TLA rules
Functional spaces
 Break areas to assess into separate functional spaces
 Separate assessment per functional space
 Acceptable names for a functional space when part floor
is selected:
─ Level 1, West Tenancy
─ Level 10, East
 Not acceptable part floor functional space name:
─ 10 or 12.03
─ Open office
─ Suite 103
Functional space area
 Maximum size is the smaller of:
─ Whole tenancy; or
─ Whole floor
 Can define functional spaces to be the same as used for
the NABERS rating
 NLA required for the whole functional space
─ NLA to give perspective but not critical
─ Areas already required for NABERS rating so should be available
Naming functional spaces - example
 This is on level 2 of the
building
 Acceptable use names of:
─ Level 2 Suite 1
─ Level 2 Suite 2
 Unacceptable use names of:
─ 12.03
─ Open Office
─ Suite 103
General lighting system
 Lighting to illuminate the
workstation areas of the tenancy
 May include “base building” and
“fit-out” fittings
 Not desk-top task lighting
 Feature lighting is captured under
some assessment methodologies
Both are part of the
general lighting
system

Nominal Lighting Power Density
 NLPD
─ Applies to general lighting system only
─ Dependent on luminaire power, number of luminaires and area

─ The possible assessment methods are
 Grid based
 Aggregate methods (contains 3 options )
 Typical range 6 – 20 W/m2
─ Most buildings in 8 – 15 W/m2 range
Nominal Lighting Power Density
 Five categories:
─
─
─
─
─
“Very poor” >18.1W/m²
“Poor” 15.1-18W/m²
“Median” 10.1-15W/m²
“Good” 7.1-10.0W/m²
“Excellent” <7W/m²
Identifying luminaires
 Definition of terms
 Luminaire naming
conventions
 Counting lamps
 Determining nominal
lamp power
Luminaire naming conventions
 Suggested option
─ XXabb
 XX is a luminaire body code (2 or more letters)
 a is the number of lamps (single digit number)
 bb is the nominal power of each lamp - typically 2 digits but may be 3 or more
─ If you need more information, precede with a plus sign
 RT236 is a 2x36W recessed troffer
 RT236 + LVR for louvred diffuser
 More examples are provided in the TLA Rules
Counting lamps
 Ideally physically sight the lamps
 Other options available in TLA
Rules version 3
 Diffusers and reflectors can give
misleading lamp images
 Luminaire on the right has a
single T8 lamp
Determining lamp power
 Ideally physically sight the lamp
power label
 Replacement lamp stocks or
installed equipment lists
 Where unsafe to inspect
luminaires use default lamp
options in TLA Rules version 3
Some common lamp power ratings
 1200mm (~4 feet) T8 lamp – 36W
 1150 mm (~4 feet) T5 HE lamp – 28W
─ HE = high efficiency
 1150 mm (~4 feet) T5 HO lamp – 54W
─ HO = high output
 Total luminaire power must also include control gear
power consumption (ballasts or transformers)
Luminaire control gear fundamentals
 Identifying ballast types
 Identifying transformer types
 Determining luminaire power
Identifying Ballast Types
 Using the ballast
discriminator
 T5 – electronic only
 Looking up lamp model
 Inspecting lamp connection
Identifying Transformer Types
 Visual inspection
─
Magnetic – larger, heavier
─
Smaller – details written on
transformer
─
Use of ballast discriminator is not
permitted for ELV halogen lamps,
too unreliable
Total luminaire power

Standardised figures only – NLP may differ from actual power
NLP = nominal lamp power
Total luminaire power

Standardised figures only – NLP may differ from actual power
Other luminaire cases
 Voltage reduction devices, dimmers:
─ Assess as if no voltage reduction device or dimmer present
 T5 adapters
─ Assess as per T5 lamp of same type
 If still not covered:
─ Directly measure luminaire power or take from nameplate
─ Ensure safe work methods are followed
─ Engage specialist trades person if required
Luminaire defaults
 Where inspection not possible, defaults may be used
 These are conservative figures
 Table 2 in TLA Rules version 3 (page 31)

 How
would
you
assess
this
space?
Grid and aggregate method assessment
Any questions on grid or aggregate method
assessment?
Lighting control assessment
 Assessed as “control
capacity”
 Assess only the control
system’s capacity to
deliver outcomes
 No assumptions on how
well it is actually
working
Lighting controls
Control capacity assessed as Good, Moderate
or Poor
Look at the main control system for the space
Two factors to consider
─ Switching zone size
─ Control strategy
Control strategy
 Three basic control
strategies to assess
─ Manual
─ Time based
─ Occupancy based
Occupancy sensors
Occupancy control
─ Luminaires on supervisory control with occupancy sensors
available
─ Luminaires hardwired to occupancy sensors
─ Luminaires with occupancy sensor and timer control
Timer Control
Timer control
─ Luminaire connected to a supervisory control system
─ Luminaire controlled by time switch
─ Luminaire interlinked to turn off when security alarm set
Manual Control
Manual control
─ Anything which doesn’t meet the requirements of timer or
occupancy sensor control
Bell press switch is not sufficient
evidence of a timer control
system
Daylight sensors
Not included in control grading
May be integrated into occupancy sensors
Control Type Flow Chart
Control Technology Documentation
Presence of occupancy control
─ Photos/docs for sensors AND
─ Drawing/mock up of sensor locations OR count of sensors
─ Presence of integrated sensors
Presence of supervisory control
─ Manuals, photo of interface, controllers, switch type
Presence of time switch
─ Manuals, photos, drawings
Control Technology Documentation
Sketch or commentary reasonably
demonstrating coverage of the
occupancy/timer system is greater than 50%
Can’t document it?
─ Then you can’t claim that level of control
─ Try the level below
Switching zone size
Two switching zone sizes to assess
─ Up to 100m²
─ Over 100m²
Assessment is based on the largest switching
zone in the functional space
See examples in TLA Rules version 3
Control Capacity
Control Zone Documentation
Lighting control zone area documentation
─ Only required for spaces claiming occupancy control
─ Marked up scale drawing showing fittings, control zones
and area of each control zone
Functional space area documentation
─ Only required for manual space control spaces under
250m²
Switching size example
Sensors
marked in red
All areas are
controlled by
the occupancy
sensors
Ceiling tile is
1.2m x 0.4m
Switching size example
Case 1 – motion
on any sensor
turns all the
lights on
Switching zone
size is >100m2
Control capacity
is “moderate”
Switching size example
Case 2 – motion
sensors control
local area only
Largest
switching zone
size is <100m2
Control capacity
= “good”
Effect of switching zone size
Small switching
zone (50m²)
Large switching
zone (2,000m²)
Control Capacity
Any questions on control capacity
identification?
Proposed systems
Lighting system is to be upgraded within 3
months of the assessment date
Assessments cover both NLPD and control
capacity
Must assess the existing system too
─ Proposed systems are not a substitute for an existing
system assessment
Proposed system assessments are optional
Assessment of proposed system
May arise from contractual commitment to
upgrade lighting system
─ Owner proposed lighting upgrade
─ Make good provision
Must be contracted with an agreed completion
date within 3 months of assessment date
Contract must be sighted by assessor
─ Retain copy of contract or relevant pages as evidence
Assessment of proposed system
Must be fully documented
─ Luminaire selections complete
─ Control strategy clearly set out
─ Control equipment selected
Assess existing and proposed
Difficult Buildings
Exemptions for Buildings
Denial of access or information to complete
ratings (see section 3.3.2)
Non-Assessable spaces for the TLA
component (see section 2.4)
Exemptions from Disclosure Obligations
A building may apply for an exemption if:
─ It is used for police or security operations; or
─ It can’t be assessed due to the characteristics of the
building or area of the building.
Submission of exemption application does not
allow marketing or negotiation of the property
until the exemption is granted.
Exemption - Process
Police or security operations
─ Gather details on the nature of operations within the
building
─ Seek exemption from the Department under BEED Act
Clause 17 (3) (a)
─ Note: Security is generally interpreted as being national as
opposed to corporate or commercial security
• Provide detailed reasons in the application form why
exemption is required
• Exemptions are provided at the discretion of the Department
Exemption - Process
Non assessable Building
─ Gather detailed evidence demonstrating why building is not
assessable, e.g.
 Detailed reasons why rating can’t be completed
 Any statement from NABERS indicating a rating can’t be provided
─ Seek exemption from Department of Industry under clause
17(3)(b)
─ Record details on application form specifically identifying
reasons why building is not assessable
Access Denial - Process
If a tenant/owner refuses access or information
─ Assessors should try a more senior representative and
document attempts to collection information
─ Contact CBD team for assistance
─ CBD administrator may issue a s18 request letter
─ If an owner or lessee still refuses access or information after a
s18 request letter, they must apply for an exemption under
clause 18(7).
 If access or information is refused without an exemption, this is a
breach of a civil penalty provision. Penalties apply.
Where a functional space does not allow a
TLA Assessment
 An assessment may not be possible because
space is:
─ Under refurbishment
 No lighting system in place; or
 Lighting system is incomplete (luminaires missing)
─ Non office fit-out
 Extensively fitted out with small cellular offices, meeting rooms or
conference rooms
Where a space does not qualify for an
exemption
Assessor needs to include the space in the
assessment form
Mark the space as not assessable on the FS
tab
Provide a reason why the space was not
assessable
─ Include a reference to the clause in the rules used to
determine the space as not assessable
Difficult Buildings
Any questions on exemptions, non-assessable
spaces or denial of access?
Contact the CBD team when in doubt!
