Inquiry

Our current project is approximately a 75,000 sf student dormitory. The alternate compliance path (Option 2)states that light fixtures are to be automatically controlled and programmed to turn off following regular business hours. Since this a dormitory, regular business hours would not apply. The current design calls for digital timers and occupancy sensors in spaces accessible to students which include lounges, studies, corridors, and trash rooms. Digital timers have a on/off manual override, and the occ sensors have a switch upstream for manual override off, occ sensor on. Additionally, each floor will have a RA for "lights out." Please indicate if the current design scope would comply with Option 2 with these considerations.
