TEMPLATES FOR COMMUNICATING CONTROL INTENT AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
| Design Express is a series of templates that organize lighting control requirements into a clear, standardized Control Intent Narrative/Sequence of Operations format. It helps teams design, document, and verify lighting control strategies across different space types and control strategies. With these templates, designers can create both a design aid and a record of due diligence for review and commissioning. |
Check out this article in the September 2025 issue of LD+A (PDF) that introduces the Design Express beta. Also this column by Design Express’s primary author, which explains the tool’s utility with an example of use.
Below is the Design Express Office template beta. In October, a large number of building types will be added around NYControlled, all of them compatible with the 2024 IECC. If you have any feedback on these templates, please email us here.
