EBOM-2009 IEQc2.2:Controllability of Systems—Lighting

Control Lightning

We are currently working in a facility that that has a system called "Softswitch" from the Lutron Electronics Co. The systems provides automated control of lighting to optimize energy efficiency in small offices and open spaces. Turn lights on and off based on time of day, occupancy or feedback from a building management system for simple, convenient control. System flexibility lends control over numerous lighting zones to optimize energy savings. Individual zones can be programmed to highlight exterior architectural features. The problem that I'm having is that using the LEED Template my percent for individual workstations are not complying with the minimum. But I do have this system, can this system help meet the minimum percent for indivual workstations in some way?.. Thank in advance.

Ramon,For individual workstations, the easiest way to meet this credit is with individual task lamps. Your Lutron system is great, but I don't think it will give 50% of your workstation occupants control over their individual lighting...
