FAQs about IEQc6.1 :

How much controllability do I need for my multi-occupant space?

I included occupancy sensors to meet the controls requirement but my LEED reviewer indicated that they weren’t sufficient. Why is this?

In order to help meet IEQc6.1 for my individual occupants I am including task lighting. Does my task lighting need to be hard wired?

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

Controllability of lighting in Shared Area

We are having a hotel project that would like to attempt this credit. all the guestroom will have individual control to suit the occupant's needs. For FOH and BOH area, i wonder if it complies with the requirement for those shared use premises such as restaurant and lounge that all lights can be adjusted/controlled through BMS system without local light switches. Since the building is solely owned by the operator, this control is more convenient and avoid any adjustment by the guests. grateful if anyone can advise on the captioned, thanks.

Hi Jonathan, Based on your description I would guess that you still would need to have controls for those areas. The intent of the credit is less around convenience and more around the benefits of control to individual occupants. If you check out the space matrix you can find some space areas that seem similar to what you describe such as the Dining category under Food Service Facilities. In that instance, it's suggested that that space be included in the requirements.

Some time back I submitted a CIR for a dining hall in an office building. It was made very clear that a control accessable by users is required. You will need it even though I agree it does not make much sense.
