CI-2009 EAc1.2:Optimize Energy Performance—Lighting Controls

Gym with Daylight Provision

We have a LEED-CI project with a small Gym. The gym has the daylight provision with full height window. Do we need to provide the photo cell sensors at the gym as well? Thanks.

Grace, according to USGBC's space type classification doc, a gym in a school would not be considered regularly occupied for the purposes of IEQc8. That's the closest guidance I can think of that applies here, indicating that the sensors are not required under Strategy #1.However, I don't see this as a black and white, and there may be other interpretations. Photo sensors may be a good idea from a design and energy point of view.
