Sophisticated lighting systems have become the new standard, with increasing options for light fixtures, light sources and lighting controls. Though the intricate nature of modern lighting systems often requires additional, specialized expertise, numerous benefits can be achieved through a careful approach to lighting planning, programming and design. Advanced lighting controls can ensure lighting turns on/off automatically during scheduled times, determine when spaces are unoccupied or occupied and assess available daylighting. To maximize energy savings, ANSI/IES LP-16-22 Standard Lighting Practice: Documenting Control Intent Narratives and Sequences of Operation, published in July 2022, serves as an excellent tool for the development of any lighting control system. The standard clearly outlines the purpose that both a control intent narrative and sequence of operations, play in the specification and program- ming of a control system. The CIN is typically documented by the electrical engineer and is developed in collaboration with the architect, interior designer and/or lighting designer in response to owner requirements and proposed designer control intent. It is documented early as part of the project basis of design that describes the overall intentions for the specified system.
