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?

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?

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?

NC-v4 EQc6:Interior lighting

Interior Lighting Dimming controls in Multi-use spaces

The interior lighting of our projects has 3 zones for dorm rooms, but has dimming with manual on/ automatic off controls. There are also daylight zones. Can the dimming meet the 3 lighting levels required?

By "zone" I assume you mean a fixture or group of fixtures within the space that can be separately controlled. If each zone can be separately controlled by the occupant(s), then in my opinion that would meet the requirement

Just a double check that "dimming" can count as the three lighting level option?

Summer,  Yes.  The three levels are denoted in the Reference Guide as "on, off, and "midlevel" with "midlevel" defined as 30% to 70% of the max. illumnation level, so dimming satisfies this requirement.  Regardless of whether your dorms are single occupants or mutioccupant spaces it seems that you have met the criteria.
