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?

HI, I am working on a store with two lighting types: furniture lighting and ambiant lighting. Only a part of the ambiant lighting is controlled depending on daylight illumination (40%). If we consider the whole power installed, lighting controlled represents 17.5%. Question: Should we consider the furniture lighting in our calculations, knowing that LEED says: "In sales areas, provide controls that can reduce the ambient light levels to a midlevel (30% to 70% of the maximum illumination level not including daylight contributions). "

To be honest, I am not certain and don't want to lead you in the wrong direction. My sense is that the furniture lighting would need to be included but I would also be curious to hear what others on the forum believe to be correct.
