Energy 06/07/2019Approved EN-6) comment dated 6-7-19: The previous comment has not been addressed. Per our prior discussion, the central areas between the two doors may be considered as one daylighting zone, rather than 2 separate DZs with a couple lights requiring general lighting control sandwiched between the zones. Or you may choose to have 2 separate zones that abut each other so there is not a couple of track heads required to be on non-daylight zone control between the zones. But the manual daylight zone control(s) needs to be in the daylight zone area per the code section C405.2.2.3. EN-6) comment dated 5-13-19: Sheet E401 Lighting Plan - clarify how the daylighting controls are met within the daylight zones, per section C405.2.2.3 Daylight zone
