# C405 Electrical Power and Lighting Systems
|
|
|
|
## C405.2 Lighting controls.
|
|
|
|
Lighting systems shall be provided with controls that comply with one of the following.
|
|
|
|
* **1.** Lighting controls as specified in Sections C405.2.1 through C405.2.8.
|
|
|
|
* **2.** Luminaire level lighting controls (LLLC)
|
|
and lighting controls as specified in Sections C405.2.1, C405.2.5 and C405.2.6.
|
|
The LLLC luminaire shall be independently capable of:
|
|
|
|
* **2.1.** Monitoring occupant activity to brighten or dim lighting when occupied or unoccupied, respectively.
|
|
* **2.2.** Monitoring ambient light, both electric light and daylight, and brighten or dim artificial light to maintain desired light level.
|
|
* **2.3.** For each control strategy, configuration and reconfiguration of performance parameters including; bright and dim setpoints, time-outs, dimming fade rates, sensor sensitivity adjustments, and wireless zoning configurations.
|
|
|
|
**Exceptions:** Lighting controls are not required for the following:
|
|
|
|
* **1.** Areas designated as security or emergency areas that are required to be continuously lighted.
|
|
* **2.** Interior exit stairways, interior exit ramps and exit passageways.
|
|
* **3.** Emergency egress lighting that is normally off.
|
|
|
|
### C405.2.1 Occupant sensor controls.
|
|
|
|
Occupant sensor controls shall be installed to control lights in the following space types:
|
|
|
|
1. Classrooms/lecture/training rooms.
|
|
2. Conference/meeting/multipurpose rooms.
|
|
3. Copy/print rooms.
|
|
4. Lounges/breakrooms.
|
|
5. Enclosed offices.
|
|
6. Open plan office areas.
|
|
7. Restrooms.
|
|
8. Storage rooms.
|
|
9. Locker rooms.
|
|
10. Corridors.
|
|
11. Warehouse storage areas.
|
|
12. Other spaces 300 square feet (28 m^2) or less
|
|
that are enclosed by floor-to-ceiling height partitions.
|
|
|
|
**Exception:**
|
|
Luminaires that are required to have specific application controls
|
|
in accordance with Section C405.2.5.
|
|
|
|
#### C405.2.1.1 Occupant sensor control function.
|
|
|
|
Occupant sensor controls in warehouses
|
|
shall comply with Section C405.2.1.2.
|
|
Occupant sensor controls in open plan office areas
|
|
shall comply with Section C405.2.1.3.
|
|
Occupant sensor controls in corridors
|
|
shall comply with Section C405.2.1.4.
|
|
Occupant sensor controls for all other spaces
|
|
specified in Section C405.2.1
|
|
shall comply with the following:
|
|
|
|
1. They shall automatically turn off lights
|
|
within 20 minutes after all occupants have left the space.
|
|
|
|
2. They shall be manual on
|
|
or controlled to automatically turn on the lighting
|
|
to not more than 50-percent power.
|
|
|
|
3. They shall incorporate a manual control
|
|
to allow occupants to turn off lights.
|
|
|
|
**Exception:**
|
|
Full automatic-on controls with no manual control
|
|
shall be permitted in corridors, interior parking areas,
|
|
stairways, restrooms, locker rooms, lobbies, library stacks
|
|
and areas where manual operation would endanger occupant safety or security.
|
|
|
|
#### C405.2.1.2 Occupant sensor control function in warehouse storage areas.
|
|
|
|
Lighting in warehouse storage areas shall be controlled as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Lighting in each aisleway
|
|
shall be controlled independently of lighting
|
|
in all other aisleways and open areas.
|
|
|
|
2. Occupant sensors shall automatically reduce lighting power
|
|
within each controlled area
|
|
to an unoccupied setpoint of not more than 50 percent of full power
|
|
within 20 minutes after all occupants have left the controlled area.
|
|
|
|
3. Lights that are not turned off by occupant sensors
|
|
shall be turned off by time-switch control
|
|
complying with Section C405.2.2.1.
|
|
|

4. A manual control shall be provided
|
|

|
#### C405.2.1.3 Occupant sensor control function in open plan office areas.
|
|
|
|
