Lighting terminology• Fixtures or Luminaires
– Variety of types, new and retrofit• Lamps
– The “tubes” which go in the fixtures; T12, T8, T5, T8HO, etc.• Ballasts
– The controls for FL lamps; new longer life ballasts can last up to 5 years• Footcandle (FC)
– Measurement of light intensity, usually at eye level• Lumens
– Measurement of light output• CFL
– Compact Fluorescent lamps; can be grouped for intense light as well• HPS
– High pressure sodium lamps, yellow light; primarily used in outdoor applications as their re-strike time is long
• MH– Long re-strike time, white light, have been the “standard” high wattage lamps until the new fluorescent
technology was developed

Lighting Terminology (cont’d)• Footcandle (FC)
– Measurement of light intensity, usually at eye level• Lumens
– Measurement of light output• Efficacy (lumens per watt)
– The higher the efficacy the better.• Color Temperature
– Choose “white” light sources between 3000K (“warm”) and 4100K (“cool”). Consider 5000K (cold) for studios.
• Color Rendering Index– Measures light source quality. – Where color is important choose light sources with CRI > 85.
• Lamp Life– Choose lamps with the maximum life possible to minimize maintenance.
• System Costs– Choose systems that employ efficient lamps and ballasts.
Design Lighting for Human Needs

Facility Lighting Issues
• Lighting accounts for 40% of electricity usage and costs
• Lighting & HVAC at full output when building at low or no occupancy
• Uncontrolled lighting results in substantial energy waste
6
Good Lighting and Controls:• Are efficient and lower energy costs• Lower pollutants in the atmosphere• Raise productivity• Lower operational costs• Improve the work area• Are easy to maintain• Generate funds for productive use• Increase asset value• Enhance Occupant convenience
7
What does lighting REALLY cost?• Fixtures and lamps 4%• Maintenance 8%• Energy 88%
…Of the total lifetime cost of the lamp
8
Areas of Lighting Design Focus• Visibility• Task performance• Mood and atmosphere• Visual comfort• Aesthetics• Social interaction• Health, safety, well-being• Integrate human needs,
architecture, lighting, and energy efficiency

The Lighting Design Challenge: • Balancing and
Integrating:– Human Needs– Architecture– Lighting– Energy Efficiency
14
The Larger Design Challenge:• Balancing and Integrating
Lighting Design with Economics and the Environment– High performance technology and
techniques– First cost vs. long term “better”
solutions– Increasing understanding and
importance of health issues
15
Long-term “Better” Solutions• Visibility and Design
– New fixtures are very appealing– Direct / indirect systems provide good visibility and architectural interest
• Energy Efficiency– Lighting energy costs are among the largest utility costs of most non-industrial
buildings.– Modern designs can use 50% of the energy of 1980s and early 1990s designs.
• Lighting Maintenance– Modern lighting systems can have 50% lower maintenance costs.
• Lamp Disposal– Low Mercury lamps reduce environmental risk and liability.
• Better Exterior Lighting– Prevents light pollution and light trespass.
Lighting can be beautiful, efficient, better for the building occupants, and better for the environment

Lighting Design Pallette
• Primary Lighting Sources– Daylight– Fluorescent Lights
• Supplemental Lighting Sources– CFL– Metal Halide– LED
• Special Use Lighting– LED / Exit signs– Outdoor – Signage– Architectural– Security
• Controls

The variety of lighting products is astounding

Integrated day-lighting designHolistic design includes:
• Structure
• HVAC
• Daylight
• Electric Light
•Lighting controls
22
Linear Fluorescent Lamps
• T-8 Second Generation or “Super” Lamps
– 93 MLPW vs. 83 MLPW for ordinary T-8
– 85+ CRI.– 30,000 hour lamp life on program
start electronic ballasts.• T-5 HO
– 80 MLPW.– 83+CRI.– 20,000 hours life.

• Applications: downlights, wall washers, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps, pendants, low and high-bay industrial/sports lighting
CFL Systems
29
LEDs• Technology and applications expanding rapidly• Exit Signs:
– Unless otherwise required by code use LED exit signs.
– Red or green depending on local authorities. – Use very low power making them especially
easy to equip with their own backup battery, but do not include downlight egress light
• Traffic Signals– Significantly less energy use– Brighter than incandescents– Long life reduces operations and maintenance
costs• Signage
– LEDs are both much more flexible and energy efficient than neon lights
• Building highlights– LEDs provide excellent and energy efficient
architectural accents

Lighting Controls -- Design Principles• Switches
– A minimum requirement• Occupancy (Motion) Sensors
– Can be used in most interior spaces.• Time Controls
– Used where predictable scheduling is possible.• Manual Dimmers
– For A/V spaces and other rooms where manual adjustments make sense.• Photoelectric controls
– Dimming, switching lights on/off in response to daylight.
32
Integrating Controls with Daylight• Ensure harvesting of available daylighting.
– Use daylighting controls.– Study spaces to determine appropriate daylight amounts.
• Provide daylight glare management.– Determine direct solar glare situations.– Design manual or automatic blinds or other means of
reducing the direct solar exposure glare and excessive light levels and heat gain.
33
Lighting Controls -- Basic Principles• Turn off lights when spaces
are not in use.• Turn off lights when there is
adequate daylight.• Dim lights if daylight levels
vary.• Dim lights when task lighting
is used.
34
3 Main Types of Automatic Lighting Controls provide excellent energy savings:
• Daylighting devices 16 – 30%• Panel / Computer controls 18 – 30%• Occupancy sensors 30 – 80%
35
Control Panels• Automatically turn off, turn on, or dim
lights• Applications:
– Open Office Space– Lobbies / Auditoriums– Security, parking lots
• Benefits– Adapts to predictable Occupancy– Facilitates use of load shedding
programs– Predictable savings
36
Time Controls• Timer Switches
– Mechanical or Electronic Time Out.• Time Clocks
– Mechanical or Electronic Time Trips.• Lighting Relay Panels
– For automatic time controls of large and/or complex facilities, especially schools.
• Building Energy Management Systems and Building Automation Systems– Integrate lighting relay panel operation with
HVAC and other building systems.
37
Dimmers• Manual Dimmers
– For single rooms and single circuits.• Preset Dimmers
– For A/V spaces and social spaces.• Dimming Systems
– For managing large facilities and integrated systems.
38
Occupancy (Motion) Sensors• Types
– Passive Infrared (PIR.)– Active Ultrasound.– Dual Technology (PIR+Ultrasound or
PIR+Audible Sound).• Applications
– Private offices.– Open Offices.– Conference Rooms.– Restrooms.– Storage areas (on-off and high-low).– Halls and Lobbies (off-hour override).
39
PIR Sensor Placement• Sensor must be able to see the
coverage area• Partitions and bookshelves will prevent
detection in blocked area• Should be placed so as not to have a
view out the door
40
Ultrasonic Best Applications• Open office spaces• Conference rooms• Restrooms • Enclosed hallways• Large areas controlled in zones
