CI-2009 EAc1.2:Optimize Energy Performance—Lighting Controls

Daylit area

For Option 1, do you think a space that does not have an external wall, but is within 15feet of the perimeter wall should be included in the credit requirements? We have a 3m corridor attached to the facade that has some windows, and a regularly occupied space on the other side of the corridor also having some glazed surfaces facing the corridor.

If there is enough daylight available for controls to be useful, then this space should have daylighting control. I would guess that a LEED reviewer would consider this to be included in this credit, unless daylight is detrimental to the activities in the space.

Thanks Dane, The space is a huge manufacturing area, with only a small glazed ratio on one side. As an engineer I would not consider it useful to have these controlls. Has anyone received maybe comments regarding this form USGBC? Thanks.
