[Bldg-sim] 90.1-2013 Interior lighting - local control signification

[Athalye, Rahul A]

This is basically saying that you must have a manual ON/OFF switch to control the lighting. If you want to put more sophisticated controls on the switch, you can do so, but at the very minimum, occupants must have the ability to turn the lights on and off. Note that some spaces (for example, corridors, restrooms, lobbies, storage rooms) are not required to have manual control per table 9.6.1.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] 90.1-2013 Interior lighting - local control signification


Hello,

Long time ago, I posted an unsanswered question. Since the question still remain, I will try to explain it more clearly.

I have a hard time to interpret what a "local control" means with 90.1-2013 - section 9.4.1.1(a):

    "There shall be one or more manual lighting controls in the space that controls all of the lighting in the space. (...)"

Each space have a lot of others control requirement like Restricted to partial automatic ON, Bilevel, Automatic partial off,etc.
What does the local manual lighting controls need to do with all the lighting ? Do they need to complement the other control, or to bypass them with a forthright 100% ON / 0% OFF ?


Many thanks
