Hello,
Our understanding of the intent of this credit is to provide occupants with accessible lighting controls that allow them to adjust lighting levels to suit their needs. While this approach is practical for the office areas of a building, it raises potential safety concerns in the warehouse and service center, where active materials handling and equipment operation takes place.
Although the reference guide indicates “warehouse materials handling areas” and “auto service bays” as regularly occupied spaces, we would like to confirm whether these areas could be considered not applicable for this credit option due to operational and safety constraints associated with providing individual lighting controls.
Thank you,
