1 Jurisdiction / energy code

We'll apply the right code rules — receptacle control, daylight zoning, sensor coverage — based on where the project lives.

State or jurisdiction

2 Is this an enclosed room or an open area?

Enclosed room Office, classroom, conference, private suite. Open area Open office, lobby, corridor, warehouse bay.

3 Space category and size

Space category

Square footage (approx.)

4 How many lighting zones does the space require?

Count every independently-controlled lighting group (teaching wall, classroom general, accent, corridor lights, warehouse aisles…). Not every zone needs dimming — corridors and warehouses are often switched-only.

Total lighting zones

Of those, how many dim?

Each Olympus covers 2 dimming channels + dual 16A relays (for switched zones or plug-load control). Exclude daylight zones here — we add those in Step 5.

5 Daylight zone analysis

Daylight zones get a +1 dimming zone on the controller and are driven by a Sierra sensor — no wall switch, per code.

Yes — has daylit area Windows, clerestory, or skylights contributing significant ambient light. No daylit area Interior space with no code-triggering fenestration.

6 Controlled receptacles (plug load)

IECC requires a percentage of 125V 15/20A receptacles to be automatically switched in most commercial spaces. This adds +1 switched relay zone to the system.

Include plug load Add a switched zone for controlled receptacles. Not required Space is exempt or receptacle control is out of scope.

7 Wall stations (engineer's call)

How many wall stations do you want, and which style? Daylight zones skip the wall station by code — sensors handle them.

Aspen dials

Tahoma button switches

8 Occupancy sensing coverage

We size sensors at 500 sqft of coverage each. You can override if your layout needs a different count.

How it works

The Olympus system, simplified

Zone-based control

Every Canyon project is built around zones — a fixture, a room, or a cluster. Each Olympus controller handles up to two dimming zones plus dual 16A relays.

Flexible dimming

0–10V dimming with millivolt precision — mix dimmed and switched zones freely. Add warm dimming for tunable-white LEDs when you need it.

Smart switches

Pick Aspen dials, Tahoma buttons, or both. Every switch is plug-and-play over Cat5e and auto-programs from its zone selector.

Sensors & daylighting

Pair with Sierra sensors for occupancy, vacancy, or daylight-harvesting — no extra programming, no extra wires.
