2. Why it’s a good idea Current Cost of Energy Model Energy Codes Productivity & Daylight “Green Design going Mainstream” Market Differentiation for “Green” Firms
4. Human Performance Up 20% increase in student performance Up to 50% reduction in absenteeism Rate of recovery increased in hospitals Conclusion: We are not indoor animals!
5. Economic Performance Over 20 years, 94% of the cost of a building is in people Therefore a 1% gain in productivity is worth more than a 1% increase in sales 1% Gain in prod = $4/sf/year in an office building (more than energy costs) Reduce Maint and O&M costs
6. Environmental Performance 40% of energy used to heat & cool buildings An aggressive daylighting strategy can reduce electrical loads by 30%+ Reduce Use of Renewable Resources Thus, reduce a Myriad of Pollutants
7. How: #1 is an Integrated Design Approach Reallocation of Construction Dollars from mechanical systems to daylighting systems.
8. Fundamentals: High QUALITY footcandles. May mean a reduction in the amount of glass Use High Performance Glass Protect Glass (Ground is the light shelf) Control Luminance Ratios
10. Base Case 12 2x4 Trouffers, (1.36 W/sf) 92 sf of tinted glass (SC=0.51) 9’0” Ceiling
11. Prototype 1-1 12 2 Lamp 2x4 Trouffers with dimming ballasts (0.89 W/sf) 82 sf of hi-performance glass (SC=0.22) 9’0” Ceiling LEVEL 2 36” overhang One photosensor
12. Prototype 1-2 12 2 Lamp 2x4 Trouffers with dimming ballasts (0.89 W/sf) 43 sf of 20” clerestory (SC=0.26 unshaded, SC=0.38 shaded) 48 sf of view windows 9’0” Ceiling LEVEL 2 36” overhang Two photosensors
13. Prototype 1-3 48 lf of FineLite Series 4 w/ 6 Motorola 4-Lamp dimming ballasts (0.89 W/sf) 57.4 sf of 20” clerestory (SC=0.26 unshaded, SC=0.38 shaded) 59.5 sf of view windows 10’6” Ceiling Picture Mold at 8’0” LEVEL 2 40” overhang Two photosensors
14. Prototype 1-4 48 lf of FineLite Series 4 w/ 6 Motorola 4-Lamp dimming ballasts (0.89 W/sf) 57.4 sf of 20” clerestory (SC=0.26 unshaded, SC=0.38 shaded) + Additional 63sf of clerestory in a roof step 59.5 sf of view windows 10’6”+ Ceiling Picture Mold at 8’0” 40” overhang on Clerestories Two photosensors
26. Summary Need and Opportunity Exists in schools AND workplaces Integrated/Synergistic Design is the key VE of the ‘system’ is not possible without compromising the results We CAN create better environments for people without significantly increasing first cost
