SynC · Topic
These are the standards in the SynC Standards library that cover Daylighting. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against. All of it is free to read without an account and published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
The building lighting control system for commercial, institutional, and industrial projects — the sensors, switches, dimmers, time switches, relay and contactor panels, photosensors, and networked or luminaire-level control equipment that turn lighting on, off, and to intermediate levels in response to occupancy, daylight, schedule, and manual command. Covers the control devices, the dimming and control interface to the luminaire driver (0–10V, DALI/DALI-2, phase-cut), networked and luminaire-level control systems, the emergency lighting control interface required by UL 924, the low-voltage control wiring, the documented sequences of operation, and the commissioning and functional testing the energy code requires.
Interior window treatments installed for glare control, solar heat control, daylight management, privacy, and room darkening in commercial, institutional, and light-industrial buildings. Covers manual and motorized roller shades with solar screen, room-darkening, and blackout fabrics, dual-roller assemblies carrying two shades on one mounting, and draperies on track systems. Addresses fabric composition, openness factor and solar optical properties, fire performance under NFPA 701 and ASTM E84, low-emitting certification, lightfastness, fungal and antimicrobial performance, roller tube and bracket hardware, fascia and pocket concealment, hembars, manual clutch operation and the cord retention provisions of ANSI/WCMA A100.1, motorized operation and its power, listing, control, and integration, mounting condition and light gap, perimeter light-control channels, accessible operation, field testing, installation, warranty, and spare parts.
