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?

Do task lights need to meet all the lighting quality requirements?

How limiting are the reflectance values in the finish requirements?

Daylight is an important strategy in my project. How do I meet this credit as well as the daylighting credit?

Do operable shades count as lighting controls?

Does having multi-circuit lighting count as providing multiple lighting levels?

How do I calculate an illuminance ratio?

NC-v4 EQc6:Interior lighting

Lighting group control for On/Off/Mid Lighting control requirement

Dear LEEDusers,

We have a project with a manufacturing space to pursue the Interior lighting control credit. Dimmers for task lights is not acceptable as safety issue.

To meet the 3 lighting level of the lighting control without using dimmers, our engineers propose lighting group control: For each group of lighting fixtures will have 2 light switches, each switch will turn on/off 50% number of light fixtures.

Will this meet the LEED requirements or any recommendation?

Best regards,

Tom

We have been successfully awarded this credit on previous projects where the manufacturing space did not put in 'multi-occupant' space lighitng controls as outlined by the credit requirements.  The factory was 24/7 365 days per year and life/safety is a concern. GBCI approved it.  We had a similar instance in a commercial kitchen.
