Prior to Functional testing, verify and document the following:
(a) The daylit zones are shown on plans documents.
(b) 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.
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
(a) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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
2. fully dimmed conditions.
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. 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.
(d) 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)
(e) 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.
(a) 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

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.
(c) 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.
(d) 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)
