Controls Without Confusion

Lighting design success includes having successful controls. As energy code-mandated control solutions become inherently more complex, good documentation—notably best practices such as a Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and a Sequence of Operations (SOO) is essential to satisfying code requirements and client expectations. In this presentation by veteran lighting control experts who have worked in the manufacturing, design, and education sides of the industry, attendees will learn how to compose a successful CIN/SOO, integrate these documents into their workflows, and learn about resources that simplify CIN/SOO creation and use.

General familiarity with lighting and lighting controls is helpful, but not required, to gain important lighting design and actionable documentation knowledge from this session.

Learning Objectives

• Apply lighting control solutions recognizing energy codes, space usability, user interaction, and the full range of control capabilities.
• Document lighting and control design intent with clear Control Intent Narratives (CIN) and Sequences of Operation (SOO) for projects.
• Integrate best practices into lighting design workflows to ensure successful lighting control solution.
• Utilize available lighting control design resources to provide code compliant and simple to use documentation methods.
