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?

NC-v4 EQc6:Interior lighting

seperate control of presentation walls in small rooms

Hi! There are big medium and small meeting rooms featuring presentation walls. They all have direct lighting from above the tables. In the big and medium rooms there are multiple lamps which can be seperately controlled, whereas the small meeting rooms only feature one lamp per room without seperate control.

Is credit achievement impossible with this setup?

Thanks in advance!

I have a similar situation on a project where we have huddle rooms. The owner wanted a decorative fixture in the space. In this particular situation I was concerned about the output of the fixture selected by them so I provided downlights. In doing so we were able to satisfy the credit. However the lighting controls are overkill for such a small space that is intended for 'quick' and 'light' function.  I am interested in how others have satisfied this credit with a single decorative fixture as I think this would be the owners preference in these small spaces.  I linked a picture of what we are providing. Ideally, only fixture Type 10 would be wanted by the owner. As previously mentioned, in this particular case it simply wasn't bright enough.  https://morrisseyengineering-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/p/mgigantelli/EQq_d9_3zDdAj-kJShIFi3QBLvhgENBK_Gp6HJRRauzSNg?e=f5a3Ql

For small conference rooms with only one fixture or lamp I suspect the reviewers would want to see a dimmer to provide the minimum of three light levels (off, mid-level, and full). You might also add a task light.

Thanks! The task lights seem like the way to go here.
