Connection to other automatic shut-off controls is not required for these spaces.

For all other spaces, the control device can be a manual control or occupancy sensor. The control device can operate a maximum of 2,500 ft2 (232 m2) for a space 10,000 ft2 (929 m2) or less, and a maximum of 10,000 ft2 (929 m2) for a space greater than 10,000 ft2 (929 m2). The control must be capable of overriding any scheduled shut-off for no more than 4 hours. Some specialty lighting within the space, such as display / accent lighting and lighting required for plant growth (non-visual lighting), requires a separate control device.
Exception:
Remote location shall be permitted for reasons of safety or security when the remote control device has an indicator pilot light as part of or next to the control device. The indicator pilot light must be clearly labeled to identify the controlled lighting.
Proposed Requirements for 2010
Any required automatic control will not be set to turn on lighting, except in the following spaces where automatic-on is allowed.
Public corridors and stairwells
Restrooms
Primary building entrances and lobbies
Areas where manual-on operation would endanger the safety or security of occupants

Multi-level Lighting Controls
These devices reduce lighting power by either continuous dimming, stepped dimming, or stepped switching while maintaining a reasonably uniform level of illuminance throughout the controlled space.
The following spaces* can have multi-level lighting controls:
Classrooms (not including shop classrooms, laboratory classrooms, and preschool through 12th grade classrooms)
Conference / meeting rooms
Employee lunch and break rooms
