# Lighting Controls Takeoff
> [!info]
> See [[lighting-controls]] for more on lighting controls systems.
> [!info] "Local Control" as a PDI proposal qualification
> The term "local control only" is sometimes used to indicate
> no consideration for _any_ lighting control beyond standard devices,
> (with `$D`'s being the triac type)
> however, this phrasing is ambiguous and non-universal.
> Confirm with [[pdi-estimating#Bid Estimating|bid team]] on what must be included.
Determine which Systems and Codes are required:
* _IBC/IECC 2021 or later:_ all fixtures 0-10V dimmable.
## PDI Lighting Control Configurations
> [!important]
> This section is currently not practical
### Stand Alone
0-10V dim -- "LV cable" is 2 conductor
Takeoff rough-in for switches and occupancy sensors
* **Branch Length** = length of room
Takeoff the lighting control relay (DLM)
Takeoff an additional controller if receptacles are controlled
Takeoff homeruns to the DLM (one per controlled circuit)
* Note: Not necessarily per room, several rooms may share a lighting circuit.
### Networked
"LV Cable" is [[twisted-pair-cable]]
#### Room Controllers
No room controllers are necessary,
lighting zones are switched from a central lighting control panel (LCP)
#### Switches and Sensors
Takeoff rough-in for switches and occupancy sensors
??
(only if time based; length based on proximity to switch or occupancy sensor)
??
#### Homeruns
Takeoff 1 circuit homerun per lighting zone.
### Wattstopper
PDI default configuration
#### Room Controllers
For all rooms with dimmable fixtures
and/or automatically controlled receptacles,
take off (1) of either or both as appropriate.
`SWITCHES`/`LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHES & OCC SENSORS - ROUGH IN`/`DLM LTG RM CONTROLLER - ...`
`SWITCHES`/`LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHES & OCC SENSORS - ROUGH IN`/`REC PLUG CONTROLLER - ...`
Takeoff normal power to the controlled load
* Add LV cable to fixture branch
* Use \#12/3 for controlled receptacles
Takeoff rough-in for both the occ sensors and the LV switch
`SWITCHES`/`LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHES & OCC SENSORS - ROUGH IN`/`... LV SW - WALL ROUGH IN ...`
`SWITCHES`/`LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHES & OCC SENSORS - ROUGH IN`/`... SENSOR LOW VOLTAGE - ROUGH IN ...`
* Free air if possible
* **Length** = length of room
Cat cabling from the controllers on is likely provided by systems
* Confirm with chief or quote language
#### Corridor Occupancy Sensors
If occupancy sensors are shown in the corridors:
Takeoff homerun back to the electric room
Takeoff (1) DLM controller for each electric room
`SWITCHES`/`LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHES & OCC SENSORS - ROUGH IN`/`DLM LTG RM CONTROLLER - ...`
??
Run free-air down corridor
??
* **Length** = Length of corridor
Takeoff rough-in for each occupancy sensor shown.
#### Network Bridge
Check systems quote to determine if network bridges are needed.
Takeoff (1) back box for every ==group of rooms you want together==
??
If not showing, put one in every room with a controller
??
#### Homeruns
Need a HR into the room for the controllers
* Can link multiple controllers (aka rooms) together if you have the same circuit
* Go back to closest electric room
## Custom Switch Boxes
For switch combinations not in `COMMON ASSEMBLIES`,
create [[heating-designations]] based on the most similar.
