FAQs about EQc6 :

For Option 1, we would like occupants to be able to control lighting in their area from smartphones, tablets, or computers; we plan to eliminate physical switches altogether. Would this meet the intent of Option 1?

Can I use recessed fixtures and still meet Strategy D?

What lighting controls are required for a conference room with a presentation screen?

Is Option 1 achievable for open office spaces?

Where do I find the CRI of a lamp?

Do task lights need to meet all the lighting quality requirements?

How limiting are the reflectance values in the finish requirements?

Daylight is an important strategy in my project. How do I meet this credit as well as the daylighting credit?

Do operable shades count as lighting controls?

Does having multi-circuit lighting count as providing multiple lighting levels?

How do I calculate an illuminance ratio?

NC-v4 EQc6:Interior lighting

Are residential building lobbies multi occupant spaces?

Are lobbies in residential apartment/condo buildings considered multioccupant spaces and thus subject to comply with lighting controllability requirements if pursuing this credit? These spaces are typically transitory environments, with people passing through; access to controls could present a safety issue.  Similar concern would apply to EQc Thermal Comfort.

The LEED BD+C Reference Guide EQ Section Overview, found here, lists examples of nonregularly occupied spaces including Lobby (except hotel lobby). Only regularly occupied spaces are subject to interior lighting, daylighting and quality views credits. There is also a handy chart in the EQ overview explaining which space categories apply to each credit.
