Hi Megan, Yes, multi-level overhead lighting is sufficient to meet the requirements of EQc6.1 for individual offices. Any form of a light control in an individual office would be sufficient; often this is achieved with just one light switch for one office space. It gets a little more tricky if you have a couple employees per office or in an open office work enviornment. But, one light switch and one office space results in 100% controllability for that space. Lauren

In the past we have not had issues with enclosed offices being considered meeting this credit. However, I believe you will see increased emphasis on the fixture light output being adjustable. If the overhead fixtures are simply on/off, that does not appear to meet the intent of the requirement to adjust lighting to meet needs.
