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?

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?

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?

Has anoyone gained Option 1 using an IP based control system. If every light fitting can be controlled via an IP based system will this achieve complaince with Option. Each light fitting in an open plan office might serve more that one individual desk ? Any thoughts ?

Each individual workspace needs its own user-accessible control. With open plan, it's good practice to provide individual task lights as well as controls for group occupancy. That way, subsets can "discuss"and tailor lighting levels for their zones and individual can control some of the actual lighting on their desk.

Would USB powered lighting suffice I wonder ? Its possible to get USB powered fans and task lights.
