Electrical Design Criteria
BMS Interface
The lighting control system shall be interfaced to the BMS system. This interface shall include the following objectives as a minimum:
Consolidated device status: the operational status of all system devices (BMS components and LCS end devices including DALI
ballasts, DALI relays and LCS control panels) shall consolidated to a central repository.
Consolidated energy reporting: the energy consumption of all system devices shall be published to a consolidated central
repository.
Asset tracking: the bill of materials of each system shall be consolidated to a central repository.
Event calendar: the maintenance schedule for each system shall be consolidated to a central repository.
Shared hardware: Devices common to multiple systems shall be shared in order to reduce overall part quantity. For example,
occupancy sensors in the lighting system can be used to reduce the number of occupancy sensors required by the HVAC system if
occupancy data is shared among both systems.
Automated response: Events in any system shall automatically trigger a programmed, user de ned response in appropriate other
systems. For example, a demand response event in the HVAC system shall automatically initiate a demand response routine in
the lighting control system.
Central access: the user interface shall be consolidated into a single window to perform major daily operator functions.
VOIP Interface
The lighting control system shall have provisions to support VOIP telephones by publishing an application designed speci cally for the
unique user interface.
The following user features shall be provided through the VOIP telephone system:
Dimming control over lights on a group and individual xture basis
Scene control over lights on a group and individual xture basis
Tube fault detection
Service report and dispatch
Other control systems
In addition to control of lighting xtures, the lighting control system will interface to a control system to operate blinds, curtains and
similar objectives from the lighting control switch in each room that is equipped with these devices. The use of individual devices
separate from the lighting control system is not acceptable.
Clinical interface
In clinical buildings, lighting control provisions are generally more intricate to cater to the increased number of design variables
(patients, procedures, and requirements). Care shall be taken in areas of patient care and treatment, to ensure that required functions
are not unintentionally or unreasonably compromised.
The design shall recognize that there will always be patients and staff that are unfamiliar with the building and how it operates.
Therefore all lighting control shall be intuitive and should not require a detailed understanding of the system to operate. Lighting
control provisions in speci c rooms will be as detailed on the relevant room data sheets (RDS).
Code Blue activation shall signal all ambient lighting xtures within the source room, and along entire paths of code response teams, to
light up to ambient illumination levels for a minimum period of one hour.
