Automatic lighting shut-off is required in buildings larger than how many square feet?

3000
4000
5000
6000

The correct answer is: 5000

Automatic lighting shut-off requirements play a crucial role in energy efficiency and safety in larger buildings. The regulation specifies that buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet must have these systems in place. This requirement is designed to ensure that lighting is used judiciously, reducing energy waste and costs associated with prolonged lighting in unoccupied spaces. Enforcing an automatic shut-off mechanism not only contributes to environmental sustainability by minimizing electricity consumption but also aligns with modern building codes that aim to enhance operational efficiency. Implementing such systems becomes increasingly important as building size increases, where the potential for significant energy savings and enhanced safety becomes more pronounced. Therefore, buildings over this threshold must comply with these standards to meet both local and national energy codes.
