o Continuous Dimming: Light output and power shall both decrease continuously to 33 percent of peak output and power.
• The daylight control reference point(s) shall be located at the center of the width and at the depth of the primary sidelighted area. If the primary sidelighted area includes apertures with orientations that differ by more than 45 degrees, then the model shall include one daylight control reference point for each orientation. (Note: if the modeling tool is limited by the number of daylight control reference points allowed per zone then the number of zones modeled may need to be increased.)
• The fraction of lighting power affected by the daylight control shall be equal to the primary sidelighted area divided by the total area within a thermal block.
• Illumination setpoint(s) shall be as follows:
The following item shall be deemed to be added to the "Proposed Building Design (Column A) Design Energy Cost (DEC)" column of Section 12 of Table 11.3.1 of ASHRAE 90.1-2010:

(Note: if the modeling tool is limited by the number of daylight control reference points allowed per zone then number of zones modeled may need to be increased.)
• The fraction of lighting power affected by the daylight control shall be equal to the primary sidelighted area divided by the total area within a thermal block.
• Illumination setpoint(s) shall be as follows:

(Note: if the modeling tool is limited by the number of daylight control reference points allowed per zone then number of zones modeled may need to be increased.)
• The fraction of lighting power affected by the daylight control shall be equal to the primary sidelighted area divided by the total area within a thermal block.
