[Equest-users] Automatic Lighting Control Power Adjustment Percentage

[Ömer Moltay]

Dear All,

ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G allows a reduction of 10% in lighting power loads 
when there is an occupancy sensor in the space.

We are not comfortable with applying this in a residential setting where 
common corridors are fitted with occupancy sensors. Since these 
corridors are utilized much less frequently than say an office corridor, 
we think that the reduction should be a lot higher compared to lights 
staying on during the whole day.

Does anyone have experience with such a case? Maybe we will use the 
schedule adjustment approach here. Anyone can suggest a suitable schedule?

Thank you,
