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?

NC-v4 EQc6:Interior lighting

OPTION 1 : light sensor for basic overhead lighting + task lighting

Hello,

I am working in a project where overhead lighting is to be controlled by daylight/occupancy sensor. These lights provide the base lighting (~100 LUX when). They can be turned off manually.

Additionally, task lighting is provided with on-off-middle switch.

In order to comply with Option 1 of this credit, do we have to ask for an override "middle" level on the overhead lighting that is controlled with the sensors or is the on/off/middle task lighting enough ?

Thanks a lot
