CSI DISCUSSIONS OF THE WEEK
SPECIFICATIONS FOR IOT CONNECTED LIGHTING
I'm a member of the IES IoT Connected Lighting committee. We recently published a lighting practice guide on the topic. It doesn't address specifications, and we are considering adding some guidance on this in the future. Would an “IoT connected lighting spec” fall into Division 26 somewhere with lighting? Or would it be in Division 25 with building automation?

EMERGENCY SHOWER AND EYE WASH
Does anyone know where I can find a three-part guide spec for an emergency shower and eye wash? It can be floor or ceiling mounted.
