We are purchasing task lamps to earn the IEQ 6.1 "Controllability of Systems - Lighting."
The 2009 Commercial Interiors books states that "Excluded are HVAC, lighting, and building envelope products."
Am I correct that task lamps would be excluded under "lighting?"
I ask, because the lamps are not a hard-wired part of the building.
Thanks,
Strada

i would say yes they are excluded: table lamps would be in the category of lighting as per the energy star website: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_find_es_products
Also, table lamps as devices dont seem to earn ratings - after a quick flick through, the focus in the category seems to be permanently installed light fittings or light bulbs. Neither of these are relevant for EAc1.4.

Strada,
I agree with Victoria, task lamps are not included under EAc1.4.
