Benjamin Mitten Lighting/Electrical Existing Lighting Conditions II
Center for the Arts, Towson University Executive Summary For this report, I looked at the existing lighting conditions in the Center for the Arts building at Towson University. There were four spaces that I focused on. These spaces were:
Paint Studio #1 Dance Studio #1 Main Lobby which services the Theater and Concert Hall North Façade
I looked at how the space was designed, the finishes, the layout, the controls, and the luminaires in the space. I provided, what I thought was a good design criteria for each space. I then analyzed the spaces in AGI 32 and compared the results to the design criteria I set forth. The results calculated for the Paint studio met all of the set-forth design criteria, except for the pin-up space minimum foot candles. I felt the overall design in the Paint studio was a good design. The results calculated for the Dance studio met all of the design criteria set‐forth. The power density however in the space exceeded the allowable power density set‐forth by ASHRAE 90.1. I was not sure if there was a special power density for dance studios. The results calculated for the Lobby did not meet the minimum foot candles I recommended for the task plane. The value was around 42 foot candles and I was looking for 50 fc. I did not calculate any values for my exterior space. The north façade is not illuminated at all. I will be looking at this façade in my redesign. I feel as though it is a major side of the building from an architectural standpoint. It has the major features and theme of the building. Most of the design criteria I set forth was met by the lighting systems in the building. I feel that the overall lighting system is very good in this building. For complete results and conclusions see Existing Lighting Conditions report.

Criteria:
Appearance of Space and Luminaires: There should not be anything distracting about the space or the luminaires. The luminaires should integrate with the architecture, this will blend the lighting system with the space.
Color Appearance and Contrast: This is one of the utmost important design criteria for this space. Painting pictures has everything to do with different colors and contrast to produce art. Color and appearance will be one of the main focuses in this space when designing.
Lamp Color: Want a high CRI and cool temperature. Daylight Integration and Control: Shades are provided in the space for when shadowing is not wanted or a movie or projection is put on the projection screen. If shadowing is wanted the shades can be removed.
Direct/Reflected Glare: Will be taken into consideration due to the importance of the work plane. Direct and reflected glare can bother the student when working on paintings.
Light Distribution on Surfaces: A uniform Illuminance will be wanted on object surfaces being painted to see the textures and the shapes of the object.
Light Distribution on Task Plane: This is another design criteria that is of utmost importance. An even distribution of light on the painting surface will be wanted to by the students. This will give a greater chance of seeing the colors and contrasts the way the students want to see them.
Modeling of Faces or Objects: This is another design criteria that is of utmost importance, not only with the lecturer but also with the objects and human models for the class. The students will want to see the bends, shapes, and curves of objects they are painting or sketching.
Shadows: This will be taken into consideration, on both ends of the spectrum. There my be times when shadows are wanted and when shadows are not wanted, this is where daylight integration may also come into play.
Benjamin Mitten Lighting/Electrical Existing Lighting Conditions 5
Center for the Arts, Towson University Source/Task/Eye Geometry: This is another design criteria that is of utmost importance. The task should be easily seen by the student from the light.
Surface Characteristics: Characteristics of surfaces will be brought out in the paintings, so the characteristics need to easily be seen and defined.
System Control and Flexibility: There will be times when movies or lectures will be on the projection screen so the lighting system must be able to reduce the light on the screen as well as give light to the students taking notes.

not calculate the illuminance on the projector screen because I assume the lights would be off so there was no need for a calculation. The recommended 30 fc along the vertical plane was met as well. I feel the overall design is good for the space. There could be more light on the pin‐up wall. I will address this situation and the possibility of a direct/indirect system in the room in my redesign. Below are calculation results from AGI 32 and layout plans of the space so that there can be a further understanding of the space.

Design Criteria: Tasks:
Choreograph dance routines Small dance shows Set‐up/Tear down for shows Paper tasks
Illuminance: EH(wp) Category D‐ 30 fc
Criteria: Appearance of Space and Luminaires: Small shows will be put on in this space, so the appearance of the space and the luminaries is important. The theater lighting will be out of the sight of the audience therefore the appearance of these luminaries will not matter
Color Appearance and Contrast: Color appearance is important in this space for the outfits the dancers will be wearing for the presentation. Also any sets and props used should have good color rendering. Warm Color
Light Distribution on Task Plane: A good light distribution on the floor where the focus of the audience will be on is an important design criteria.
Modeling of Faces or Objects: Good modeling of faces should be considered for the dancers. They are putting on a show and performing they will have all eyes on them. Good Illuminance on the face.
Points of Interest: The movement of the dancers is the point of interest. The control booth will have to coordinate with the choreographer in order to get the routine down with the synchronization of the lights and dancers.
Shadows: Try to avoid shadows where possible with dancing. The routine my be interrupted by the shadows; it my not look as good as it should.
Surface Characteristics: Characteristics of surfaces will be brought out in the paintings, so the characteristics need to easily be seen and defined.
Benjamin Mitten Lighting/Electrical Existing Lighting Conditions 13
Center for the Arts, Towson University Sparkle/Desirable Reflected Highlights: The dance routine may call for a sparkling outfit. In this case, the lighting system needs to compliment the outfit.
System Control and Flexibility: There will be times when movies or lectures will be on the projection screen so the lighting system must be able to reduce the light on the screen as well as give light to the students taking notes.

Illuminance: EH(wp) Category E‐ 50 fc
Criteria: Appearance of Space and Luminaires: With this space being the main lobby for the Universities Concert Hall and Theater, this area should have a very aesthetically pleasing look to it. This is the area that most people will see of the entire university so it must make a lasting impression on an individual. This is of utmost importance for this space
Color Appearance and Contrast: Color from art work being exhibited, brochures from plays or musical performances, or even an elegant dress, this plays a big role in how a person feels.
Lamp color: A warm feeling in the lobby to make the occupants feel welcome. Good CRI for the space.
Direct/Reflected Glare: People may be reading information from a book or a piece of paper. Direct and reflected glare become an issue when reading is involved.
Light Distribution on Surfaces: A uniform Illuminance will be wanted on the surfaces of the of the lobby. This will make a person feel welcome to the space.
Light Distribution on the Task Plane: For purposes of reading, a uniformity of light is wanted.
Luminance of Room Surfaces: An even luminance should be achieved to make the space aesthetically pleasing.
Benjamin Mitten Lighting/Electrical Existing Lighting Conditions 22
Center for the Arts, Towson University Modeling of Faces or Objects: Good modeling of faces will be wanted, since people will be meeting and greeting in this space. Also, the possibility of displays around the area.
Surface Characteristics: Characteristics of surfaces will be wanted due to the importance of this space. The area has wood walls; this characteristic is an example of bringing out the surface characteristic.

Calculations made in AGI 32. Results are as follows: Average floor plane fc: 42.5 fc
The overall average of the floor was lower than the value of 50 fc which I recommended. Although some of the floors in the space had more foot candles the overall average was low. I like the use of the uplight in the space. I would like to incorporate this into my final design of the space. This space has both high and low temperature bulbs being used, I would prefer to see a warmer color temperature in the space, which I will be addressing in the redesign. Below are calculations from AGI and plans so there can be a better understanding of the space. Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 show the distribution of the light on the floor of the lobby at different places.

Assumptions made:
Clean 2 times a year Clean environment
At the present time, there are no lights lighting the façade of the building. Therefore, I did not do any lighting calculations. The sidewalk on the north side
Benjamin Mitten Lighting/Electrical Existing Lighting Conditions 27

is illuminated with luminaires recessed in a wall along the sidewalk. The canopy to an entrance is also illuminated, but I feel as though it was not significant enough to do calculations. What I plan on doing for the redesign is to light the circular façade and the sharp jagged edge of the building façade. I feel that this will bring out some important characteristics of the fine arts center. I have provided a picture below showing what the building looks like. Note the side I will be lighting is the north side of the building.
These are the 2 main focus areas of my redesign. This is the area I feel is the most interesting side of the building apart from the main lobby entrance.
