EQ Credit 6.1
EQ Credit 6.1: Controllability of Systems: Lighting
1 Point

Intent
Provide a high level of lighting system control by individual occupants or by specific groups in multi-occupant spaces (i.e. classrooms or conference areas) to promote the productivity, comfort and well-being of building occupants.

Requirements
Provide individual lighting controls for 90% (minimum) of the building occupants to enable adjustments to suit individual task needs and preferences.

AND

Provide lighting system controllability for all shared multi-occupant spaces to enable lighting adjustment that
meets group needs and preferences.

Potential Technologies & Strategies
Design the building with occupant controls for lighting. Strategies to consider include lighting controls and task lighting. Integrate lighting systems controllability into the overall lighting design, providing ambient and task lighting while managing the overall energy use of the building.
