Designing with Lighting Controls, Part 2: Planning and Coordination

Описание: Welcome to Part 2 of EE05: Lighting Control System Design, a Lighting Controls Academy course.

In Part 1 of this course, we learned about key documentation including the Content Intent Narrative (CIN), Sequence of Operations (SOO), and Owner Project Requirements (OPR).

The next step in design development is to turn these requirements and conceptual design into a realized design. This step typically requires flexibility as the architecture and lighting requirements change, necessitating maintaining the CIN and SOO to keep them up to date with any project changes. In Part 2: Planning and Coordination, we will learn how to plan and coordinate the lighting control system defined in Part 1.

By the end of this course, you will learn to 1) utilize the Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and sequence of operations (SOO) during the later phases of the design process; 2) understand the different types of modern lighting control systems and identify their capabilities and limitations; 3) coordinate the lighting controls design with the luminaire selection and lighting design to ensure compatibility, and 4) specify the various parts of a lighting control system to ensure it meets the requirements outlined in the CIN and SOO.

This course is registered and/or recognized by the AIA (LU/HSW), NCQLP (LC), NALMCO (CLCP), DLC, and the State of California. To gain education credit, after taking the course, click here to access the course and successfully complete the associated quiz at NEMA Academy:
