Prior to Functional testing, verify and document the following:

1. The daylit zones are shown on plans documents.
2. The general lighting in skylit daylit zones, primary sidelit daylit zones and secondary sidelit daylit zones is controlled by automatic daylighting controls. In parking garages, the general lighting in the combined primary and secondary sidelit daylit zones is controlled by automatic daylighting controls.
3. The automatic daylighting controls provide separate control for luminaires in each type of daylit zone. General lighting in overlapping skylit daylit zone and a sidelit daylit zone are controlled as part of the skylit zone. General lighting in both a primary sidelit daylit zone and secondary sidelit daylit zone are controlled as part of the primary sidelit daylit zone.
4. All photosensors are not readily accessible to unauthorized personnel.

All photocontrols serving more than 5,000 ft² of daylit area shall undergo functional testing. Photocontrols that are serving smaller spaces may be sampled as follows:

For buildings with up to five (5) photocontrols, all photocontrols shall be tested. For buildings with more than five (5) photocontrols, sampling may be done on spaces with similar sensors and cardinal orientations of glazing; sampling shall include a minimum of one (1) photocontrol for each group of up to five (5) additional photocontrols. If the first photocontrol in the sample group passes the functional test, the remaining photocontrols in the sample group also pass. If the first photocontrol in the sample group fails the functional test, the rest of the photocontrols in the group shall be tested. If any tested photocontrol fails the functional test, it shall be repaired, replaced or adjusted until it passes the test.

For each photocontrol to be tested, test each group of lights controlled separately by the photocontrol according to the protocol in NA7.6.1.4 and NA7.6.1.5. In all interior spaces other than parking garages, separate tests are conducted for daylighting control of the primary sidelit daylit zone and for daylight control of the secondary sidelit daylit zone. In parking garages, the tests are conducted on daylighting controls that control the combined area of the primary and secondary sidelit daylit zone.

Continuous dimming control systems provide more than 10 levels of controlled light output per zone.

1. Reference Location. Identify the minimum daylighting location in the controlled zone (Reference Location) for each daylit zone type (skylit, primary sidelit, and secondary sidelit) in the space. This can be identified using either the illuminance method or the distance method and will be used for illuminance measurements in subsequent tests. For parking garages, the reference location should always be the farthest edge of the secondary sidelit daylit zone away from the opening or glazing.
   
   Illuminance Method
   The Reference Location is the task location with lowest daylight illuminance in the zone illuminated by controlled luminaires.
   Turn off controlled lighting and measure daylight illuminance within zones illuminated by controlled luminaires. (Note: turn the controlled lighting back on before proceeding to the No Daylight Test)
   
   Distance Method
   The Reference Location is the task location within the zone illuminated by controlled luminaires that is farthest away from daylight sources.
2. No Daylight Test. Simulate or provide conditions without daylight. Verify and document the following:
   1. Document the reference illuminance at the Reference Location, which is the electric lighting illuminance level at the Reference Location.
   2. Automatic daylight control system turns on all controlled lighting to full light output (full design output, or full programmed output) unless it has been documented, such as in design documents, that continuous dimming luminaires have been intentionally tuned to less than full light output.
   3. Light output is stable with no visible flicker.
3. Full Daylight Test. Simulate or provide bright conditions where the daylight illuminance is greater than 150 percent of the reference illuminance (measured during the No Daylight Test). Alternatively, provide simulated bright conditions by shining a bright light into the daylight sensor. Verify and document the following:
   1. The controlled lighting power reduction is at least 90 percent under fully dimmed conditions for non-parking garage locations. For parking garages, the controlled lighting power reduction is 100 percent under fully dimmed conditions.
   2. Only luminaires in daylit zones are affected by daylight control. If the daylighting control system controls luminaires outside of the daylight zones including those behind obstructions, the control system is not compliant.
   3. If a Power Adjustment Factor (PAF) is claimed for daylight continuous dimming plus off controls in accordance with Section 140.6(a)2H; a compliant system shall automatically turn off the luminaires in order to pass the Full Daylight Test for daylight continuous dimming plus off controls. This portion of the Full Daylight Test does not apply to lighting systems that are not claiming a PAF for daylight continuous dimming plus off controls.
4. Partial Daylight Test. Simulate or provide daylight conditions where illuminance provided only by daylight only at the Reference Location is between 60 and 95 percent of Reference Illuminance measured during the No Daylight Test. Verify and document the following:
   1. Measure that the combined daylight and controlled electric lighting illuminance at the Reference Location is no less than the reference illuminance measured at this location during the No Daylight Test.
   2. Verify that the combined daylight and controlled electric lighting illuminance at the Reference Location is no greater than 150 percent of the reference illuminance.
   3. Light output is stable with no visible flicker.
      (Note: only luminaires in daylit zones are affected by daylight control)
5. Alternate Partial Daylight Test. When outdoor horizontal illuminance is at least 4,000 fc and where illuminance from daylight only at the Reference Location (Partial Daylight Illuminance) is no greater than 80 percent of Reference Illuminance measured at this location during the No Daylight Test. Measure the outdoor horizontal illuminance level and the daylight illuminance level, and do not proceed until the aforementioned illuminance criteria are met.
   Verify and document the following:
   1. Measure the Partial Daylight Illuminance at the Reference Location. This can be measured by turning the electric lighting off. (Turn the electric lighting back on before proceeding to next step.)
   2. Measure the combined daylight and controlled electric lighting at the Reference Location.
   3. This alternate partial daylight test is passed if the measured illuminance value (from Step 2) is no less than the Reference Illuminance measured at this location during the no daylight test and no greater than Partial Daylight Combined Illuminance Maximum (PDCIM).  In other words, the measured value must be within the following range in order to pass this test.  Reference Illuminance (from the no daylight test) ≤ measured illuminance value (from Step 2) ≤ PDCIM,where PDCIM = Reference Illuminance (from the no daylight test) + 0.40 x Daylight Illuminance (from Step 1)
   4. Light output is stable with no visible flicker.
   5. Only luminaires in daylit zones are affected by daylight control.

Stepped switching or stepped dimming control systems provide no more than 10 discrete steps of control of light output.

1. Reference Location. Identify the minimum daylight location in the controlled zone (Reference Location) for each daylit zone type (skylit, primary sidelit, and secondary sidelit) in the space. This can be identified using either the illuminance method or the distance method and will be used for illuminance measurements in subsequent tests. For parking garages, the reference location should always be the farthest edge of the secondary sidelit daylit zone away from the opening or glazing.
   
   Illuminance Method
   The Reference Location is the task location with lowest daylight illuminance in the zone illuminated by controlled luminaires.
   Turn off controlled lighting and measure daylight illuminance within zones illuminated by controlled luminaires. (Note: turn the controlled lighting back on before proceeding to the No Daylight Test)
   
   Distance Method
   The Reference Location is the task location within the zone illuminated by controlled luminaires that is farthest away from daylight sources
2. No daylight test. Simulate or provide conditions without daylight. Verify and document the following:
   1. Document the reference illuminance, which is the electric lighting illuminance level at the Reference Location.
   2. Automatic daylight control system turns on all stages of controlled lighting to full light output unless it has been documented, such as in design documents, that dimming luminaires have been intentionally tuned to less than full light output. 6.4.
   3. Light output is stable with no visible flicker.
3. Full daylight test. Simulate or provide bright conditions where the daylight illuminance is greater than 150 percent of the reference illuminance (measured during the No Daylight Test). Alternatively, provide simulated bright conditions by shining a bright light into the daylight sensor. Verify and document the following:
   1. When daylight illuminance is greater than 150 percent of the design illuminance, lighting power reduction is at least 90 percent under fully dimmed conditions for non-parking garage locations. For parking garages, the lighting power reduction is 100 percent under fully dimmed conditions
   2. RESERVED
   3. Only luminaires in daylit zones are affected by daylight control. If the daylighting control system controls luminaires outside of the daylight zones including those behind obstructions, the control system is not compliant.
4. Partial daylight test. If the control system has one (1) to three (3) steps of control between on and off, test all control steps between on and off. If the control system has more than three (3) steps between on and off, testing three (3) control steps between on and off is sufficient to demonstrate compliance. If the control system has zero (0) steps between on and off, the partial daylight test is not necessary. For stepped switching control systems, steps in a controlled zone are achieved by turning some luminaires or groups of luminaires on or off without any steps between on and off.
   For each control stage that is tested in this step, the control stages with lower setpoints than the stage tested are left ON and those stages of control with higher setpoints are dimmed or controlled off. Simulate or provide conditions so that each control stage turns on and off or dims. Verify and document the following for each control stage:
   1. Measure that the combined daylight and controlled electric lighting illuminance at the Reference Location is no less than the reference illuminance measured at this location during the No Daylight Test.
   2. Verify that the combined daylight and controlled electric lighting illuminance at the Reference Location is no greater than 150 percent of the reference illuminance.
   3. Light output is stable with no visible flicker. (Note: only luminaires in daylit zones are affected by daylight control)
   4. The control stage shall not cycle on and off or cycle between dim and undimmed while daylight illuminance remains constant.

Prior to Functional testing, verify and document the following:

1. The occupant sensing lighting controls are shown on plan documents and are installed.
2. Occupant sensing lighting control is installed per manufacturer’s instructions to minimize false triggering- such as to install an occupancy sensor away from HVAC diffusers to avoid probable false triggering.

For buildings with up to seven (7) occupant sensors, all occupant sensors shall be tested. For buildings with more than seven (7) occupant sensors, sampling may be done on spaces with similar sensors and space geometries; sampling shall include a minimum of 1 occupant sensor for each group of up to 7 additional occupant sensors. If the first occupant sensor in the sample group passes the acceptance test, the remaining building spaces in the sample group also pass. If the first occupant sensor in the sample group fails the acceptance test the rest of the occupant sensors in that group must be tested. If any tested occupant sensor fails it shall be repaired, replaced or adjusted until it passes the test.

For buildings with up to seven multi-zone occupant sensors, all occupant sensors shall be tested. For buildings with more than seven multi-zone occupant sensors, sampling may be done on the space to choose up seven multi-zone occupant sensors from the space and all seven multi-zone occupant sensors shall be tested.

         2. For aisle ways and open areas in warehouses in which the installed lighting power is 80 percent or less of the value allowed under the Area Category Method, reduce lighting power by at least 40 percent;
         3. For corridors and stairwells that provide access to guestrooms and dwelling units of high-rise residential buildings and hotel/motels in which the installed lighting power is 80 percent or less of the valued allowed under the Area Category Method, reduce lighting power by at least 40 percent.
      3. For occupant sensing controls in parking garages, parking areas, and loading and unloading areas, the control has at least one control step between 20 to 50 percent of the design lighting power, or the controls has at least one control step between 20 to 60 percent of the design lighting power - for the controls serving metal halide luminaires with a lamp plus ballast mean system efficacy of 75 lumens per watt. In the partially off state, partial off occupant sensing controls automatically reduce lighting power by one control step.
2. Occupied Test. Simulate an occupied condition in the controlled space. Verify and document the following:

   3. Signal sensitivity is adequate to achieve desired control.
   4. Status indicator or annunciator operates properly.
2. Unoccupied Control Zone Test. In offices where two or more occupant sensors to create more than one control zones, simulate an unoccupied condition in the control zone controlled by the occupant sensor. Confirm that at least one other control zone within the office is occupied. Verify and document the following:
   1. In 20 minutes or less from the start of the unoccupied condition in the control zone, the occupant sensor uniformly reduces light output of the controlled lighting.

   4. Signal sensitivity is adequate to achieve desired control.
3. Control Zone Size Test. Follow the procedures described in either Method 1 or Method 2 below.
   1. Method 1: Simulate an unoccupied condition in the control zone controlled by the occupant sensor while standing in an adjacent control zone. Determine the “edge” of the control zone controlled by the occupant sensor by moving toward the occupant sensor until the lights controlled by the occupant sensor turn on as in Step (a) – to simulate an occupied condition for that control zone. Measure, determine and document the following:
      1. Measure the distance (in feet) from the “edge” of the control zone to the spot that is directly below the occupant sensor. This is the radius of the control zone.
      2. Determine the area of the control zone by using the formula: Area = π*radius².
      3. The area of the control zone must be less than or equal to 600 square feet.
   2. Method 2: Simulate an unoccupied condition for the entire office space. Verify and document the following:
      1. Walk thru the space and count the number of zones of lighting turned on automatically as walking thru the space.
      2. Document the number of zones being turned on. Determine the size of the office in square footage from construction plans or from other information source.
      3. Divide the size of the office by the number of zones. This calculated value is the assessed control zone size (in square feet).
      4. If the value is less than or equal to 600 square feet, it passes the test. Otherwise, it fails the test.
4. Unoccupied Office Test. Simulate an unoccupied condition in all control zones controlled by all occupant sensors in the office. Verify and document the following:

For exempt areas, the lighting is not required to be configured with automatic holiday shut-OFF.
   3. For the area controlled by an automatic time-switch control with a time-override located in and for the area, verify the lighting can be turned on manually by initiating the time-override and the lighting is configured to remain ON for no more than 2 hours. For exempt areas, the lighting can be configured to remain ON for more than 2 hours and until the next scheduled shut off occurs.

Prior to Functional testing, verify and document the following:

The demand responsive control is setup to communicate in one of the following communication protocols: Wi-Fi, ZigBee, BACnet, Ethernet or other wired or wireless bi-directional communication pathway. (requirements of Section 110.12). The demand responsive controls is setup to communicate for the functional testing of NA7.6.3.2.

There are three methods to verify the reduction in lighting power due to the demand responsive lighting controls. For methods 1 and 2, buildings with up to seven (7) enclosed spaces requiring demand responsive lighting controls, all spaces shall be tested. For buildings with more than seven (7) enclosed spaces requiring demand responsive lighting controls, sampling may be done on additional spaces with similar lighting systems; sampling shall include a minimum of 1 enclosed space for each group of up to 7 additional enclosed spaces. If the first enclosed space with a demand responsive lighting control in the sample group passes the acceptance test, the remaining building spaces in the sample group also pass. If the first enclosed space with a demand responsive lighting control in the sample group fails the acceptance test the rest of the enclosed spaces in that group must be tested. If any tested demand responsive lighting control system fails it shall be repaired, replaced or adjusted until it passes the test. Method 3 tests the entire facility at once, does not require sampling, but requires the facility lighting to be disaggregated from other end-use loads.

Test the reduction in lighting power due to the demand responsive lighting control using one of the following three methods.

Prior to functional testing, verify and document the following:

2. The controls or the methods of controlling the maximum output of luminaires is such that the maximum light output of the controlled lighting system can be limited and that normal operation of the controlled lighting does not override the maximum light output.
3. The controls are not readily accessible to unauthorized personnel.

For each area to be tested, follow the procedures in Method 1 or Method 2 below:

1. The acceptance test technician shall either observe the first seven (7) systems being successfully tuned or shall verify systems that have already been tuned using the sampling protocol described in NA7.6.4.
2. If the acceptance test technician is observing the tuning of the system, the party responsible for the tuning shall certify that the remainder of the system is tuned in a similar manner.

Prior to functional testing, verify and document the following:
