Level Three: Controls Specialized
This course provides a broad introduction to lighting controls, daylighting, and human-centered control design. It begins with lighting controls fundamentals, then explores how controls and shading strategies can support energy code compliance, make effective use of daylight, and create dynamic, comfortable environments. Across the modules, learners will build knowledge of lighting control strategies, code requirements for new construction and retrofit projects, dynamic fenestration systems, shade fabric selection, Human Centric Lighting, and the design considerations involved in dynamic lighting systems. The program connects these topics to practical project decisions, from selecting appropriate shading materials to developing control narratives and considering system protocols.

Dynamic lighting can support a range of needs across different spaces, but successful projects require thoughtful decisions about lighting, control intent, and system design. This course explores how to determine the appropriate level of dynamic lighting, develop control narratives for key use cases, evaluate light quality across different luminaire types, and consider how protocols affect both initial design and future system changes.

Objectives:
- Determine the level of dynamic lighting necessary for a project according to the needs of each space
- Develop a comprehensive control narrative for projects with dynamic lighting that considers all the key use case scenarios
- Evaluate the light quality of dynamic luminaires including spaces that utilize multiple types of dynamic tunable white or color changing luminaires
- Understand the implications of protocols on both the initial deisgn and future changes to the system
