Commissioning of Lighting SystemsMichael Chow, P.E., CxA, LEED AP BD+COwner/Founder of Metro CD Engineering, LLC
Course Objectives1. The participant will be able to evaluate how to effectively use both the IES
DG-29-11, The Commissioning Process Applied to Lighting and Control Systems, and the ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005 The Commissioning Process as tools to develop an effective lighting commissioning plan
2. The participant will be able to determine the technical requirements for commissioning lighting and control systems to achieve owner performance criteria.
3. The participant will explore the requirements for verification and acceptance activities during each phase of the Commissioning Process.

Commissioning Resources IES DG-29-11, The Commissioning Process Applied to Lighting and Control Systems
Commissioning Defined “A quality-focused process for enhancing the delivery of a project. The
process focuses upon verifying and documenting that the facility and
all of its systems and assemblies are planned, designed, installed,
tested, operated, and maintained to meet the owner’s project
requirements (OPR).”
- ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005 The Commissioning Process
Commissioning of Lighting Systems Defined
“A systematic process that ensures that all elements of
the lighting control system perform interactively and
continuously according to documented design intent
and the needs of the building owner.”

Commissioning of Lighting Systems1. Daylight Harvesting
2. Occupancy Sensors
3. Low-voltage Relay Control System
Daylight Harvesting1. BOD (Specify Open, Closed, Dual-
Loop System)
2. Photosensor Location, Orientation and Sensitivity
3. Testing
Occupancy Sensors1. BOD
A. Which types in which areas (e.g., dual technology, Passive IR only, etc.)
B. Time-delay (LED light sources can have shorter delay)
2. MountingA. > 6-8 ft. from HVAC diffusers, etc.B. Placed close to task area.
