Each month, our Lighting Controls Department Manager, Clint Conley, offers insight and advice about lighting controls. Clint, a licensed professional electrical engineer, brings over 15 years of construction, engineering, and lighting controls experience to the table. He takes the often confusing topic of lighting controls, and presents information in a straightforward and concise manner.
Automatic daylight harvesting started to be required in Colorado and Wyoming as a part of the 2015 version of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This requirement is a significant shift that has greatly increased the need for more complicated automatic controls in many spaces. As this is still relatively new, there are still many questions on how to meet this requirement effectively and reliably.
In general, the IECC 2015 requires that any space within a daylight zone with more than 150W of lighting power have automatic daylight harvesting controls. The daylight zone is defined as the area that extends from the window into the space by the measurement of the height of the window from the floor. The width of the daylight zone is the same as the width of the window with two feet added on each side.
The article below has a succinct overview of many of the important concepts with a link to a much more in-depth guide on how to implement automatic daylight harvesting. While this guide was specifically written around Title 24 (California's energy code), the concepts are useful in this area as well.
