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?

For option 1, is it acceptable for manual controls to be accomplished via a software interface rather than a physical switch? In the vision for this project, users can control lighting in their area from smartphones, tablets, or computers but physical switches will not be present. Does this meet the intent of option 1?

I would almost definitely think so. Seems like where the industry is heading, and is consistent with the idea of individual control, and switches.

The project has been pretty significantly delayed, and I don't believe we have submitted for review yet.

We were successful with the lighting being controlled through a personalized automation application, controlled via mobile phones, desk phones and/or personal computers.
