MODULE 1: 2 hours

Introductory Considerations Regarding Lighting Controls
• Advantages of localized "idiot-proof" controls
• Do people need automatic controls to protect against themselves?
• If wattage is brought down so low, are controls still cost effective?

What To Do When There Are No Controls
• Examples
   - Hibays with only breakers
   - Added rooms that have no switches

Switches
• In some applications, manual switches can provide the best control
• Case studies on switches

Multi-Level Lighting
• Inboard/outboard, checkerboarding, etc.
• Use of multi-level lighting for daylight harvesting and peak load shedding

Breakers
• Why they should not be used as switches

Timers
• Spring, electronic and smart ones

Interior Occupancy Sensors
• Numerous types and applications
• Owned and non-owned spaces: discussion

Exterior Occupancy or Motion Sensors
• On/off and bilevel
