If selecting Option 1 of SSc8, are occupancy sensors acceptable as automatic control of light fixtures? I guess what I am asking is if the lights are turned off by an occupancy sensor, under normal conditions in a school, the lights would be off due to no occupants. If the building is occupied for a special event between 11pm and 5am, is an override on permissable, or would you need to allow only 50% of the light on between these hours to be in compliance?
