One of the most common commissioning exercises is to review and test the functionality of the lighting control system. Lighting controls range in complexity from a simple single-pole wall switch to integration with the time of day, dimming, occupancy, HVAC, and Load shedding. Lighting typically offers the most significant opportunity to improve your energy efficiency with the lowest implementation cost. We will discuss the evolution of lighting controls, the current lighting control commissioning process, conflicting strategies, and common mistakes with this presentation.
