I was reading the requirements above, and it says for for private offices the requirements can be met with only one on/off switch. That doesn't seem very flexible for the occupant. Is this information correct? They do not require task lighting for private offices only overhead lighting?

Rachael, it seems like your question is about what is a "best practice" vs. what meets the LEED requirement. An on-off switch meets the requirement by providing "flexibility," and so does task lighting (both discussed in a bit more detail in the Checklists section above).To your point, I think it would be smart, however, to focus beyond LEED to what actually provides a benefit to the occupants and for energy efficiency.
