FAQs about IEQc2.2 :

I have a conference room that only has an on-off switch. Is this compliant with the credit requirements? If not, how can I improve lighting controllability in this space and also be compliant with LEED?

We have a lot of visitors in certain parts of our building, but we don’t necessarily want them to have controllability over lighting whenever they want. What do we do for these spaces? Can we still earn this credit?

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

Individual task lighting

Are rechargeable battery-powered task lighting units acceptable for this credit? The manual makes only this comment on page 398: "Task lighting does not need to be hardwired to meet the requirements of this credit: outlet-powered task lighting provides a simple and effective way to add additional control in existing buildings".

Ethan, I don't see why battery powered task lights won't count towards the fulfillment of this credit. It seems like this lighting meets the intent of the credit which is to provide additional lighting controls for the occupants. So as long 50% or more of the individual workstations have these task lights, it should meet the requirements of this credit.
