1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The will examine the existing lighting conditions in the (in general and specifically in the five spaces that will be redesigned) and compare it with respect to the IESNA lighting design standards and the ASHRAE Standard power consumption and lighting standards. This report will also examine other factors affecting the lighting design of the building including such architectural elements as wall surfaces, reflectances, the impact of daylight, and different furnishings that are located within each of the spaces. This report concluded that in four of my five areas the lighting design aided in the attractiveness of the room. The Lobby is exquisite, especially at night, with lights leading up to the dramatic atrium-style skylight. The Conference Room s custom designed luminaires add uniqueness in a room that is normally rather bland. The Lunch Room stands out with its iron dropped ceiling, introducing an art element into the building. The Open Office layout stands for unity and structure, having simple fixtures completely uniform over a large area. The only space that was inadequate was the Front Entranceway. It seems as though fixtures were used at a bare minimum, when the entranceway should be lit more than anything, drawing visitors into a place with them having no question as to that is where they should be going. This report will include information on different lighting luminaries, lamps, ballasts, and part of the architectural plan showing the five spaces chosen for redesign. Page 1 of 23

2 The building was constructed a few years ago to act as both a Headquarters and to be a display of what the product they manufacture can accomplish when put to work. The architecture of the building was based around the sun, seeing as AstroPower is a top manufacturer of Solar Power Cells. It involves the glass curtain wall around the exterior, letting light in during working hours, along with many vaulted atrium-like spaces with skylights at the top. This report will describe the existing lighting conditions in the building, specifically in the five spaces that will be used for redesigning. It will examine whether or not the existing lighting conditions satisfy the appropriate design criteria (IESNA) for the space, and comply with energy standards (ASHRAE/IESNA Standard ). This report will also discuss factors of the building that affect the design of each lighting system, such as materials used, material reflectance levels, light loss factors, and others. Part Ia Existing Lighting Conditions General Building Conditions: The uses several different lighting types throughout the twostory office complex. In most of the building, a common 2 x 4 fluorescent troffer is placed in between 2 x 2 suspended acoustical ceiling tiles. Other fluorescent downlights are featured in hallways and vaulted areas, but due to the openness of the floor plan and atrium style skylights, a complex and visually stimulating lighting system was avoided so the light source would be focused on the sun. An example of the fluorescent downlights and the common troffers can be seen in the picture above. Page 2 of 23

3 Large Work Space Open Office 280 This open office space consists of a total of twenty-four hexagon-shaped cubicles. The cubicles function as small offices for the individuals that are seated there. Most of the cubicles feature a desk, chair, computer, and filing cabinets. The space itself has a glass curtain wall facing the east, and a series of balconies to the left that look down to the first floor, and up to a glass skylight. There is an abundance of natural light in this space, despite the fact of the use of partitions (A plan view of this space is featured in the appendix of this report). The lighting concept that is used over top of the cubicles is a series of 66 2 x 4 3-tube recessed fluorescent light fixtures with 18 cell parabolic lenses, manufactured by Columbia. The fixture utilizes 32-watt T8 fluorescent bulbs with a Standard High Frequency electronic ballast. There is also one 2 x 2 recessed fluorescent light fixture with nine cell parabolic lenses, also by Columbia. This fixture is used simply because of a curved outer wall prohibits the use of consistent 2 x 4 fixtures. It uses a U-Shaped T8 fluorescent bulb with a Standard High Frequency electronic ballast. The walkway next to the area that is open from below features a series of Recessed Fluorescent downlights, with white trim and baffle manufactured by Columbia, using a 26-watt triple tube compact fluorescent lamp with a Standard High Frequency ballast.

4 Special Purpose Space # 1 Lunch Room 133 The Lunch Room is basically a cafeteria style room with small tables and chairs arranged throughout. The tables are to be used for people eating their lunches, having coffee breaks, or maybe even working on a few unresolved work issues. The space features a glass curtain wall on its south side along with being adjacent to the atrium-style Lobby, being separated only by glass panels (which can be seen in the picture to the left) that let light pour in from the skylights above. There is a metal grid that is dropped a couple feet below ceiling height by ceiling suspended pendant fixtures to give the room an added architectural element ( A plan view of this spaced is featured in the appendix of this report). The space consists of a combination of troffers and recessed downlights. There is twenty-three 2 x 2 recessed fluorescent light fixture with nine cell parabolic lenses. There is also ten recessed fluorescent downlights with white trim. They use a 26-watt triple tube compact fluorescent lamp with a Standard High Frequency ballast. Special Purpose Space # 2 Conference Room 191 The Conference Room is mirrored across the Lobby from the Lunch Room on ground level. The center table is used for people holding meetings and gatherings. The space features the curved glass curtain wall on the east side, with two entranceways on the west side. The glass curtain wall allows for natural sunlight to pour into the room. There is a recessed AV screen on the north wall. The space consists of a combination of recessed downlights and special ordered ceiling pendant light fixtures. There are a total of twenty-five recessed fluorescent downlights with white trim and baffle. They use a 26-watt triple tube compact fluorescent lamp with a Standard Page 4 of 23

5 High Frequency ballast. Two specially ordered ceiling pendant light fixtures hang over the table. The ceiling is trayed in the center to create a nice architectural effect. Circulation Space Lobby The Lobby is one of the most impressive spaces in the building. With its two story ceiling height, open balconies, and overhead skylights. It is used primarily as a place to enter the building, but can be used as a space to hold large functions, gatherings, or presentations. The space features a large glass curtain wall for the entranceway, and when combined with the overhead skylights, the space is filled with natural light. There are a total of twelve 32-watt T8 fluorescent strip lights with Standard High Frequency electronic ballasts that are mounted in between glass partitions that separate the lobby from adjoining spaces (A plan can be viewed in the appendix of this report). There are a total of ten recessed fluorescent downlights on the lower level, forty-one circling the upper balcony, and seventy-three around the vaulted dome ceiling level next to the skylight. Manufactured by Prescolite with white trim and baffle, they use a 26-watt triple tube compact fluorescent lamp with a Standard High Frequency ballast. Around the skylight, are specially ordered wall mounted light fixtures. They provide illumination for the vaulted ceiling, and indirect lighting for the two stories below. They are made with two 32-watt T8 fluorescent bulbs, and use a Standard High Frequency ballast. Page 5 of 23

6 Outdoor Space Front Entranceway The Front Entranceway is what people pay attention to most when visiting a building for the first time. With this in mind, they made it visually pleasing as well as practical. There are three recessed fluorescent downlights, there is nothing else on the exterior. The parking lot runs almost right up to the building, so there is no place for path lighting. The downlights feature a metallic finish to blend with the building exterior glass, and use the same 26-watt triple tube fluorescent bulb that is used in the fixtures indoors. A plan for the entranceway is featured in the appendix of this report. Page 6 of 23

7 Part I.b Existing Lighting Hardware Details Ballasts For the fixtures used in the, all fluorescent bulbs were used to make the building Green. The Standard High Frequency ballast was used for both the recessed downlights and the troffer fixtures. The input voltage is to be 120 to 277 volts, with an input frequency of 60 Hz. Ballasts must be physically interchangeable with a magnetic core and coil ballast. The ballast must have permanently connected leads integral to the ballast, color coded to ANSI C It must be formed from recyclable steel painted in accordance with UL 935 standards. Plastic products with gaseous discharges are not allowed. The ballast factor is , and must be able to start and operate the specified lamps at a minimum temperature of -20 degrees Fahrenheit and be sound rated A. The THD shall be less than 20% for the main lamp design, and the Lamp Current Crest Factor shall not exceed 1.7. The Power Factor must be greater than 98%. The ballasts must also be CSA approved and UL listed (Class P). Lamps The fluorescent 32-watt T8 bulbs should have a color temperature of 3500 degrees Kelvin with a color rerndering index of 85. The fluorescent 26-watt triple tube bulbs should have a color temperature of 3500 degrees Kelvin, a color rendering index of 85, and emits 1100 lumens. Luminaires The 2 x 4 fluorescent troffer is the J24-3 model manufactured by Columbia Lighting. All metal parts are processed with a five phase phosphate bonding treatment. Grid units are prepainted with high gloss baked white enamel, 86% reflective. The shielding is 100% acrylic prismatic, extruded and roll-embossed, with diagonally oriented female prisms. Page 7 of 23

8 The 2 x 2 fluorescent troffer is the J22-2 model manufactured by Columbia Lighting. All metal parts are processed with a five phase phosphate bonding treatment. Grid units are prepainted with high gloss baked enamel, 86% reflective. The shielding is 100% acrylic prismatic, extruded and roll-embossed, with diagonally oriented female prisms. The recessed fluorescent downlight is the CFCB_TH Compact Fluorescent Downlight manufactured by Prescolite Architektur. It has the white American Matte trim and a 360 degree rotatable Virtual Source cross baffle with upper reflector. It is housed in a one-piece painted 18- gauge cold rolled steel platform, with a pre-wired J-box with snap on cover for easy access. The fixtures in the conference room were privately designed. They have a reflectance level of 85%, and are made of steel. Daylight Daylight, as mentioned before, is prevalent in the building design. Every space that has a wall along the front glass curtain wall sees daylight from sun rise to sun set. The openness of the Lobby and Open Office work areas allows light from the multiple skylights to reach most rooms in the building. Glass The appearance of the glass on the curtain wall appears green in color and has a sandblasted texture to it. Transmittance information for this material is important for factoring in the Luminance and Illuminance in the specific rooms; however an assumption must be made due to the fact that they were custom made and the information has not yet been received. The projected amount of transmittance through a sandblasted glass material will be 70% to 85%. The clear glass used in the skylights will be said to have a transmittance level of 90%. Page 8 of 23

9 Reflectances Reflectance values in the five spaces that will be redesigned should be carefully considered. The reflectance values of the surface material used in the room will affect how much light will be reflected back and in the end will affect the lighting design in general. In the Open Office area, the partitions have a reflectance value of 50%, the desk surface is matte and has a reflectance of 45%, the Video Display Terminals reflect down onto the surface. The walls are painted off white and have a reflectance value of 65%. The floors have a reflectance value of 25%. The structural columns have all been painted a color, therefore eliminating any notable reflectance that might come off them. The ceiling is also painted off-white, and has a reflectance level of 85%. The glass curtain wall has a reflectance value of 70% to 85%, but for now we will say 80%. The Lobby has the same ceiling, walls, and glass values as mentioned above. The Lunch Room has the same ceiling, walls, and glass values as mentioned above. The tables and chairs have a semi-gloss finish with a reflectance level of 26%, complying with the 3:1 guideline for the ratio between the luminance of the task and its immediate surroundings. The Conference Room has a dark table, with a reflectance level of 25%. The ceiling, walls, and glass all have the same reflectance values as mentioned above. Page 9 of 23

10 Part II.a Design Criteria According to the IESNA Lighting Design Guide in the IESNA Handbook (Ninth Edition), the illuminance values and criteria have been recommended for different spaces with different functions. The values recommended are not required, simply a suggested guide to correctly light various types of spaces. Large Work Space Open Office 280 The design criteria for an Open Office space with Intermittent VDT use says that it is important to consider the appearance of space and luminaires. The space is used for people working on desks, being able to see papers, computer screens without glare, and interacting with other people and being able to see their faces clearly. It also says that it is important to consider color appearance and contrast, flicker and strobe, light distribution on surfaces, uniform light distribution on task plane, modeling of faces or objects, shadows, source/task/eye geometry, and surface characteristics. Direct glare is said to be very important in considering the lighting scheme. Daylighting integration and control is said to be only somewhat important. Both illuminance values (horizontal and vertical) are important, with the horizontal illuminance having a recommended value of 50 footcandles, where as the vertical illuminance recommends only 5 footcandles. Special Purpose Space # 1 Lunch Room 133 The design criteria for the Lunch Room fall under the Food Courts section of the IESNA Guide. People in this space should be able to see what they are eating, interact with others and see them clearly without shadows or glare. Items that are said to be very important include appearance of space and luminaires, color appearance and contrast, and daylight integration and control. Areas of design that are said to be important are direct glare, flicker and strobe, light Page 10 of 23

11 distribution on surfaces, and shadows. Finally, areas that are said to be somewhat important include uniform light distribution on task plane, luminances of room surfaces, modeling of faces or objects, points of interest, reflected glare, source/task/eye geometry, sparkle/desirable reflected highlights, surface characteristics, and system control and flexibility. The horizontal illuminance is said to be important, having a recommended value of 30 footcandles. The vertical illuminance is said to be somewhat important, having a recommended value of 3 footcandles. Special Purpose Space # 2 Conference Room 191 The design criteria for the Conference Room fall under the Conference Room Meeting section of the IESNA Guide. The people who are in this room need to be able to accurately read documents in front of them on the work plane, easily view others sitting across the table without shadows, and sit in a comfortably lit environment for long periods of time. Areas that are important to focus on include appearance of space and luminaires, direct glare, and modeling of faces or objects. Items that are recommended to be of important consideration include color appearance and contrast, light distribution on surface, uniform light distribution on task plane, luminance of room surfaces, and reflected glare. Items said to be of somewhat importance include daylighting integration and control, flicker and strobe, shadows, and source/task/eye geometry. Both the horizontal and vertical illuminances are said to be important. The horizontal illuminance recommends a value of 30 footcandles, whereas the vertical illuminance recommends a value of 5 footcandles. Circulation Space Lobby The design criteria for the Circulation Space fall under the Offices Lounges, Lobbies, and Reception Areas section of the IESNA Guide. The people who are in this space need to see where they are going. Seeing others clearly is not necessarily a necessity, and people here will not often Page 11 of 23

12 be looking at papers or documents. The only recommendation for very important lighting design is the appearance of space and luminaires. Areas of importance for lighting design include color appearance and contrast, direct glare, light distribution on surfaces, luminances of room surfaces, modeling of faces or objects, and surface characteristics. Somewhat important areas include daylighting integration and control, flicker and strobe, reflected glare, and shadows. The horizontal illuminance is said to be somewhat important, and a value of 10 footcandles is recommended. The vertical illuminances is said to be important, and a value of 3 footcandles. Outdoor Space Front Entranceway The design criteria for the Front Entranceway fall under the Outdoor Section, Building Exteriors, Entrances, Active (pedestrian/conveyance) section of the IESNA Guide. Seeing as how the people that use this entrance will normally be using it during daylight hours, lighting design was probably not high on the list of priorities. However, when darkness falls you need to be able to see where you are going clearly and see other people. You also want to have a comfortable lighting scenario to view. The Guide says that items in lighting design that are very important include appearance of space and luminaires, color appearance and contrast, direct glare, light pollution/trespass, modeling of faces or objects, peripheral detection, points of interest, reflected glare, shadows, source/task/eye geometry, and surface characteristics. Areas that are important are light distribution on surfaces and sparkle/desirable reflected highlights. Both of the illuminances, horizontal and vertical, are recommended to be very important areas to focus on. The horizontal illuminance is 5 footcandles, the vertical illuminances is 3 footcandles.

13 Part II.b Power Allowances According to the ASHRAE/IESNA Standard , different spaces with their purposes and tasks are given power allowances. From Table Lighting Power Densities Using the Space-by-Space Method the values were determined for the four indoor spaces to be redesigned. For the Outdoor Space, Table Lighting Power Limits for Building Exteriors was used. Large Work Space Open Office 280 The table concludes that in an Office Open Plan no more than 1.3 watts per foot squared should be utilized in the design of the lighting system. Sufficient lighting is important for this area in order for people to complete their work and view others. Special Purpose Space # 1 Lunch Room 133 The table concludes that in an Office Dining Area no more than 1.4 watts per foot squared should be utilized in the design of the lighting system. Lighting is needed on table surfaces to adequately see what is being served and the people who might be sitting around you. Special Purpose Space # 2 Conference Room 191 The table concludes that in an Office Conference Meeting/Multipurpose room no more than 1.5 watts per foot squared should be utilized in the design of the lighting system. It is important to be able to see documents on the table, as well as other individuals in the room. This is why the power density is a little higher than in the other places. Page 13 of 23

14 Circulation Space Lobby The table concludes that in an Office Lobby no more than 1.8 watts per foot squared should be utilized in the design of the lighting system. This is due to the fact that the entranceway is what people first see, so a little bit more design is put into make it look as best as it can. This is why the power density is higher in this area. Outdoor Space Front Entranceway The table concludes that in a Building Entrance without canopy the power density should be 33 watts per linear foot of door width. This is to provide adequate lighting so that people can see where they are going and others around them. Page 14 of 23

15 Part III Evaluation of Existing Lighting Conditions Evaluation of The usage of all fluorescent lamps in energy saving ballasts created a very effective energy saving environment. In combination with the solar power additives from the roof and glass cells, a truly green building was created. The fluorescent color lights blend nicely with the daylight entering through the many windows and skylights. The luminaires also provide a streamlined looking interior, matching the exterior design concept. They also do not take away from the many architectural details on the interior that make it such an interesting building to look at. Evaluation of Large Work Space Open Office 280 The lighting design in the open area provides ample light for the cubicles while providing an aesthetically pleasing environment. The symmetrical design indicates order and structure; A company that works together as a team. Should a client ever take a tour of the office facility they would be pleased to see how the individuals that are working for them can come together and get things done. The design is practical and well thought out. Evaluation of Special Purpose Space # 1 Lunch Room 133 The lighting design of the Lunch Room is well thought out and creative, without using many expensive luminaires. The dramatic iron dropped ceiling adds an interesting architectural element to the room, and contrasts with the curved glass curtain wall that looks outside. It makes the space comfortable to relax and enjoy a break from a busy work day. There is more than enough light to do work, eat, or talk with coworkers. It is an interesting and practical design that Page 15 of 23

16 allows the space to stand out in a building with many impressive areas. Evaluation of Special Purpose Space # 2 Conference Room 191 The lighting in the Conference Room is both professional and orderly. The custom made luminaires that hang over the table add an interesting design element to a type of room that is normally uninteresting. There are many different lighting schemes that allow for different settings, whether it is a board meeting, slide show presentation, or other type of function. The lighting design is simple and effective. Evaluation of Circulation Space Lobby With light leading all the way up to the atrium style skylight, it feels as if you are still outside even though you are not. The usage of recessed compact fluorescent downlights creates a symmetrical and orderly look, while highlighting interesting architectural designs. In the evening the view from outside is quite impressive, the way the light draws you inside. The lighting design defines the Lobby as the most visually stunning room in the building. Evaluation of Outdoor Space Front Entranceway One of the only areas in (or out of) the building that needs a little extra design is the front entranceway. The only reason it is really noticed at night is because of the Lobby behind it. It should have a design just as good, if not better, than what lies inside. It should draw you directly to it, and the three recessed downlights do not really achieve this. Page 16 of 23

24 13 November 2003 Addendum # 1 ADDENDUM SUMMARY The Addendum Number One is an addition to the. The Addendum is sectioned off the same as the Report, however features only areas where additions or corrections have been made. Major additions include the implementation of Autodesk Lightscape renderings of the five spaces that have been analyzed in the Lighting Existing Conditions and Design Criteria Report, power density levels, and Luminance values for the five spaces. The addendum provides a clearer, more accurate perception of what the existing lighting design looks like. It also provides a basis for what areas the redesign will mainly be focusing on. Seeing as how daylight is a prevalent design aspect in the building, a daylight analysis will be provided at a later date after more information can be gathered, and it is important to note that it has not been overlooked. Page 1 of 20

25 13 November 2003 Addendum # 1 Part Ia Existing Lighting Conditions Large Work Space Open Office 280 The ceiling height of the Open Office measures eight feet tall. The total space measures 51 6 wide by 51 6 deep. To represent a current lighting system, only a small section measuring 24 feet wide by 55 feet 5 inches deep was used. It was concluded that the 2x4 troffers that are placed above the hexagonal shaped work stations cause shadowing and non-uniform light distribution. The illuminance values on the work station surfaces amounted to be an average of 32 footcandles, and an average of 25 footcandles on the floor. Although this value is low, it is believed that with the inclusion of daylight from the adjoining glass curtain wall and skylights that during the day the light is adequate. Below are several renderings of the space: 1). View of entire section Page 2 of 20

Overall view from standing view point It is important to note that the 2x4 troffers that were used were made from scratch from blocks in the Autodesk AutoCad 2004 program, and therefore do appear as though they emit light, even though they do. Special Purpose Space # 1 Lunch Room 133 The ceiling height of the Lunch Room measures nine feet tall. The space measures 40 6 wide by 51 5 deep. It was concluded that the 2x2 troffers space evenly over the tables provide ample light on the surface, however create aesthetic problems on the walls around the area. The illuminance values on the table surfaces amounted to be an average of 60 footcandles, and an average of 50 footcandles on the floor. Below are several renderings of the space: Page 4 of 20

Special Purpose Space # 2 Conference Room 191 The ceiling height of the Conference Room measures nine feet tall with an eight foot tray around the perimeter of the room and over the table. The space measures 34 feet wide by 19 feet 1 inch deep. It was concluded that although the fluorescent downlights provide enough light for the table surface, the aesthetic display on the walls is displeasing. The illuminance values on the table amounted to be an average of 65 footcandles, and an average of 50 footcandles on the floor. Below are several renderings of the space: 1).

The lobby measures an estimated 70 feet wide by 60 feet deep. It was concluded that although the fluorescent downlights provide enough light for the space, the aesthetics of the space could be greatly improved in the redesign. The illuminance values on the first floor amounted to be an average of 60 footcandles, and an average of 58 footcandles on the second floor. Below are several renderings of the space: 1).

41 13 November 2003 Addendum # 1 Part 1.b Existing Lighting Hardware Details Lamps To be clarified that the fluorescent 32-watt T8 bulbs with a color temperature of 3500 degrees Kelvin and a color rendering index of 85 are straight for the 2x4 troffers, and U-shaped for the 2x2 troffers. Daylight Daylighting is an extremely important factor in the, and a Daylighting Analysis complete with model is currently being constructed. Information regarding daylighting will be provided in Reports to come. Mesh pulldown shades are currently being used along the glass curtain walls, which for the most part face south. Glass To be clarified that the projected amount of transmittance through a sandblasted glass material will be 60 to 75%. The clear glass used in the skylights will be said to have a transmittance level of 70%. Reflectances To be clarified that the glass curtain wall has a reflectance value of 25%. Page 18 of 20

42 13 November 2003 Addendum # 1 Part II.b Power Allowances Large Work Space Open Office 280 The power density of the Open Office was computed to be 1.32 W/ft² compared to the recommended 1.3 W/ft². There was a total of 18 troffers, each using three 32 watt fluorescent bulbs having a power factor of The total square footage for the area that was analyzed was 1335 ft². This approximation is to be used for all open office areas, seeing as how the troffer layout is standard in all of these areas. Special Purpose Space # 1 Lunch Room 133 The power density of the Lunch Room was computed to be W/ft² compared to the recommended 1.4 W/ft². There was a total of 12 fluorescent downlights, each using 26 watts and having a power factor of There was also a total of 23 troffers, each using three 32 watt fluorescent bulbs having a power factor of The total square footage for the Lunch Room was 2338 ft². Special Purpose Space # 2 Conference Room 191 The power density of the Conference Room (although incomplete) was computed to be W/ft². There was a total of 25 fluorescent downlights, each using 26 watt bulbs having a power factor of The two chandeliers that hang above the table were custom, and information regarding wattage, bulbs, reflectances and illuminances levels is still pending response from the designer. This leaves an additional W/ft² for the two chandeliers for the space to still be below design criteria. Page 19 of 20

43 13 November 2003 Addendum # 1 Circulation Space Lobby The power density of the open office was computed to be 0.98 W/ft² compared to the recommended 1.8 W/ft². There was a total of 28 fluorescent downlights on the first level, and 115 on the second, each using 26 watts and having a power factor of The first floor square footage was 2237 ft², and 1481 ft² for the second, leaving a total of 3718 ft². Outdoor Space Front Entranceway The power density of the Front Entranceway was computed to be W/linear foot compared to the recommended 33 W/linear foot. There was a total of 4 troffers, each using three 32 watt bulbs and having a power factor of This value is not surprising, after the summation above about how the front entranceway has not been adequately lit.
