NC-2009 IEQc6.1:Controllability of Systems—Lighting

Number of task lighting in a travel center.

I am working in a project where there is a travel center room i.e. an area where people get travel related information. this has 4 desk i.e 4 people who help the traveller and another 2 desks for the traveller to sit and discuss. to comply with IEQC6.1, 1. Do i need to consider this room as multi occupant space because there will be 12 people i.e. 4 agents and 8 travellers when the room is at full capacity. 2. Do i consider as a individual occupant space and need to provide 4 task lights as the agents are the at any point of time and the travellers can be considered as non occupant as none of them will occupy more than 1 hour. 3. for ATM room where there will be ATM's only. do i need to consider this room for this credit as people hardly stay there for more than 10 mins? if yes, can i consider this as multi occupant space. Much appreciate your response. Vel

Hi Vel, Have you checked out the IEQ Space Matrix (linked above)? It seems like the Space Type for "transportation terminals" might work best. In that case, ticket and agent counters are shown as multi occupant spaces. For the ATM rooms, I would take a look at the matrix for examples of similar spaces. I personally would be inclined to exclude or just note as a multi-occupant space with general lighting controllability.
