Our project planned to use Option 1 for the v4.1 Daylight credit for our project (for the regularly occupied spaces). We are considering using Option 2 for the Pilot EQpc116 Daylight for non-regularly occupied spaces. At first i thought that we had to use the same Option for both credit and pilot credit, but I do not see this stated anywhere in the Pilot credit language. Does anyone have any experience in using different options to approach these two?

Dear Stephanie,
I confirm that, for a warehouse project, we have used different options, option 1 for EQc Daylight and Option 2. for the pilot non-regularly occupied spaces credit. GBCI, during the design review, accepted the approach without comments.

Thanks very much, Elisa. For the Pilot credit it only mentions 100 minimum lux for non-regularly occupied spaces, using Options 1 or 2 (we are not considering Option 3). It does not mention ASE1000/250 or areas with over 3000 lux or view-preserving shades in the pilot credit. So for the Pilot, did you address all of the daylight-related issues for non-regularly occupied spaces or just minimum lux value of 100? Thanks very much.

Echo Ms Graham. The pilot is about achieving 100 lux in non-regularly occupied space using the same options of calculation, option 1 and 2.

The credit and pilot are independent. You can use a different method.

Dear Stephanie, we only addressed the minimum illuminance value of 100 lux and I think it's right considering the pilot credit language; however consider that no areas exceeded 3000 lux.

Elisa, this is what i was inclined to do--meet the 100 lux and to consider the 3000 lux. I appreciate the comment, since your project was awarded the credit. This is non-regularly occupied space, not regularly occupied.
