Which method reduces light intensity in a space based on lighting level recommendations from the Illuminating Engineering Society?

• A. Room darkening shades
• B. Task tuning
• C. Smart glass
• D. Dimming

Answer: (B)

Matching light levels to the specific tasks and the illuminance targets set by the Illuminating Engineering Society. Task tuning uses controllable lighting to deliver exactly what each task requires, lowering illumination where it isn’t needed and ramping it up where precision is essential. This approach often combines zoned lighting, dimming, occupancy sensors, and daylight integration to stay within the IES-recommended levels for every area and task, which reduces overall intensity while maintaining visual comfort and performance. Other options alter daylight or provide broad dimming without inherently aligning to task-based targets, so they don’t guarantee adherence to those IES recommendations.
