Hi,
My project is a winery with a 300 square foot lab. There are three workstations, but only two employees work there most of the time. None have task lighting per se, but the overhead lighting has four different settings: on/off, center pendants, perimeter lighting and counter. The perimeter control provides task-like lighting because it lights directly above two of the workstations and can be isolated from the overhead lighting control. When inputting the number of workspaces w/ lighting controls, what number would you recommend putting in?
I could see either inputting 2 if the perimeter lighting counts as task lighting, or 3 since every station has access to 4 lighting controls.

Hi Haley,
If the perimeter lighting is really only useful for the two workstations nearby, and if the lighting can be isolated for each workstation (like pendant lights over the desks would), then it might qualify as an individual lighting control. If it contributes more to the overall room lighting and isn't isolatable to specific desks, it might fall under general area illumination controls for multi-workstation spaces, which do not qualify in this credit.
