CLCP EE101-110 study guide Questions With Complete
Solutions
_____ allows the coverage area of the sensor to be fine-tuned to
prevent false-triggering Correct Answers A combination
dimmer/occupancy sensor
_____ is an automatic control strategy in which a control system
responds to a signal from the local utility to reduce electric load
during a grid emergency. Correct Answers Lumen maintenance
dimming
_____ is an automatic control strategy that typically involves
using a photosensor to monitor light level and automatically
compensate for lamp lumen depreciation. Correct Answers
Lumen maintenance dimming
_____ is an automatic lighting control strategy that involves
reducing light levels at night in spaces with non-critical tasks
based on research that people prefer and need less light at night
than during daytime. Correct Answers Adaptive compensation
_____ is an automatic lighting control strategy that uses a
photosensor to monitor light levels and adjust electric light
output to maintain a target light level, saving energy. Correct
Answers Daylight harvesting
_____ is most effective when individual user or space visual
needs are more important than energy savings, while _____ is
most effective when utility cost savings are more important than
,visual needs. Correct Answers Manual dimming ; automated
dimming
_____ occupancy sensors utilize a single detection method that
involves sensing the difference in heat emitted by humans in
motion from that of the background space. Correct Answers
PIR
_____ requires the design team to produce a complete controls
narrative showing "how each lighting control system is intended
to operate, including recommended settings." Correct Answers
ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010
"Commissioning" (as defined by ASHRAE Guideline 0 and IES
DG-29) and "factory startup" basically describe the same
process. Correct Answers False
A control protocol is _____. Correct Answers A set of rules
that define the behavior of components in a control system
A control zone is also sometimes called a _____ by
manufacturers Correct Answers channel
A control zone plan is a design document that describes _____
Correct Answers What lighting loads are controlled by what
controllers and/or control strategies
A lighting control zone is _____. Correct Answers One or
more light sources simultaneously controlled by a single control
output
A lighting controller is a ______. Correct Answers A control
input device
, A major benefit of producing a written controls narrative is it
can _____. Correct Answers Support specification preparation
Provide clear direction during bidding to contractors and
manufacturers
Identify criteria for testing and acceptance of the control system
A photosensor is used to enact a lighting control strategy called
__________. Correct Answers daylight harvesting
According to a seminal study by the Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, occupancy sensing has been demonstrated
to produce an average _____ energy savings. Correct Answers
35%
Adopting a digital room controller-based dimming solution
enables the designer to avoid installation of _____. Correct
Answers a centralized dimming system
After zoning the lighting design based on the floorplan and
owner project requirements, the next step is to characterize the
lighting load in each zone. This document is called the _____.
Correct Answers Load schedule
Although not required by energy codes, it is generally desirable
to warn occupants that the lights are about to automatically turn
OFF. For example, the panel can "blink" the lights OFF and ON
to warn occupants. Which light source is this NOT considered
compatible with? Correct Answers HID
Always ensure that the lamps, ballasts/drivers/transformers and
their dimming controls are _____. Correct Answers rated as
compatible
