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?

Hi all, I'm currently working on a research center which is located in South Korea. EQ credit 6. Interior Lighting Option 1. Lighting Control All shared multi-occupant spaces, at least three lighting levels or scenes (on/off/midlevel) Question, If there is a multi-occupant space like conference room, does it need to have ONE lighting control that has three levels or scenes for EACH ONE space? Some spaces can have SEVERAL switches for ONE space. So I'd like to make sure whether ALL of lighting controls in ONE multioccupant space have three levels or not. Thanks.

Hi Jae Yong, Yes, there needs to be at least three levels/scenes for each multi-occupant space. This could be accomplished with multi-circuit controls in each room (several switches for one space) or dimmable controls for each room (one switch that provides multiple options for lighting levels). The requirement for three levels/scenes per multi-occupant space must be met for every multi-occupant space in the project in order to earn Option 1. For conference rooms, the lighting for presentation/projection walls must also be on its own control circuit to meet the requirements.
