This client has seen the value of daylighting, when I visit the last facility we designed for them, there are minimal lights turned on and they grin ear to ear about how much they save over other facilities they own.

Daylight Factor Study on a Current Project
Thought this might be of interest since our first assignment has the group I am in, assigned the lighting section. The following plan is a daylighting analysis that was completed on a project that I currently have under construction. Looking at the plan, you can see where the windows are located around the perimeter classrooms and offices. The corridors and large assembly space in the center have translucent insulated panels at the clerestory. The areas that are white (dark) are “secured storage spaces” and are not allowed to be “accessible” to the outside. We are working with their design requirements and trying to “invent” a way to daylight these areas while keeping them “secured”.

David,
That's great! Thanks for sharing some, what I assume costly studies for us who have never seen this practice. I appreciate the efforts!
David,
Thanks for sharing this. There is something up with blogger though. I kept checking your site and this didn't show up until this afternoon! Blogger needs to get their act together!
It didn't cost anything, the "insulated translucent panel" supplier did it for us. It really shows what the Lighting section talks about. This project didn't have any light shelves, makes me wonder what it would look like if we had.
