Energy03/19/2021RejectedThe electrical drawings indicate new lighting and lighting controls. It is unclear how the new lighting controls satisfy the requirements of section C405.2.2 (Time-switch controls) of the 2015 VECC. All non-emergency lighting must be controlled by either an occupancy sensor or a timeclock. Some areas do not appear to be controlled by either an occupancy sensor or a time-switch control.
