Advanced lighting controls offer extraordinary capabilities but contain inherent complexity, particularly when deployed as systems complying with energy codes. To ensure the right solution is selected, properly installed, and accurately programmed, documentation best practices such as a Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and a Sequence of Operations (SOO) can be critical for success. To support adoption of these best practices, the Lighting Controls Academy (formerly the Lighting Controls Association) has developed a new free tool—series of templates that organizes lighting control requirements based on the 2024 IECC into a clear, standardized CIN/SOO format. With these templates, designers can create both a design aid and a record of due diligence for review and commissioning.
