1. An architect is designing the lighting system for a new office building in California. The building will include several private offices, conference rooms, and open workspaces. The architect plans to install occupant sensing controls throughout the building, including in the private offices. The architect selects a system that includes both manual-on vacancy sensors and automatic-on motion sensors. However, the building's facilities manager requests the ability to convert the manual-on sensors in private offices to automatic-on functionality in the future if needed for operational flexibility.

how should the architect respond to the facilities manager’s request regarding the occupant sensing controls in private offices? Which actions comply with the code, and which do not?

The architect can design the system to allow future conversion from manual-on to automatic-on functionality, as long as the conversion is managed by the building management and not directly by the occupants.

The architect should propose a system where both manual-on vacancy sensors and automatic-on motion sensors are installed in each office, with the ability to switch between the two modes as needed.

The architect can install manual-on sensors that occupants can reprogram to automatic-on functionality for convenience, ensuring flexibility in usage.

The architect should inform the facilities manager that occupant sensing control systems installed in private offices with manual-on functionality cannot be converted to automatic-on functionality by the occupants, as this would violate the code.
