EQc6.1 for multi-occupant spaces

Hi Michele, It's true that LEED was originally designed for office spaces and it doesn't always play nicely with other kinds of project types. That being said, I'd take a peek at LEED for Schools because it sounds like you have a similar situation where it makes sense for certain people to have access to controls but not all. For instance, LEED for schools states that classrooms need to provide a lighting system that operates in at least 2 modes: general illumination and A/V. Do your exhibit spaces have multiple control capabilities? I'd submit a narrative describing the role of these highly controlled rooms and describe how certain indiduals are in charge of the controls. Stress how many control settings exist for the few that can control them. Good luck. Lauren

Documented this for a student center on a college campus where only the facilities personnel - not the students - had access to the lighting controls and there was no problem. There were variable settings via controls.
