DAY LIGHTING
• Day lighting is the controlled admission of Natural light – direct sunlight and diffuse skylight.
![Page 4: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DAYLIGHTING
• image• Place most used rooms in
the daytime on the south side
• Provide light from two or more sides of the room
• Open curtains and shades in the heating season
• Light-colored surfaces reflect light better (walls and ceilings)
• Bonus: Solution for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

DAYLIGHTING HISTORY
• Oculus: Pantheon Rome, Italy 126 A.D.
• “Natural light is the only light that makes architecture” Louis Kahn
![Page 6: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MAXIMIZE DAYLIGHT PENETRATION
• Clerestory Windows• Consider Surface’s
reflectance for Daylight Penetration
• Day Light Penetration- As a thumb, daylight generally penetrates into a building a distance of 1.5 x the height of the top of the windows
![Page 7: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
BOUNCE DAYLIGHT• Bounce daylight off
surrounding surfaces
• Bring daylight inhigh and wash it down the space
• MET NY

ADVANCED WINDOW STRATEGY
• Light colored pavement or gravel can reflect
• Wide windowsills can be used as light reflectors
• Light shelves are usually placed above eye level to prevent glare from the top shelf. They also act as overhangs for the view windows underneath
![Page 9: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TOPLIGHTING STRATEGY
• When applicable, horizontal openings (skylights) offer two important advantages.
• They offer fairly uniform illumination over very large interior areas.• Horizontal openings also receive much more light than vertical
openings.

SKYLIGHTS
• Veiling reflections are avoided when skylights• A system of baffles can control direct glare and
to some extent veiling reflections.

Visibility, which is the state of being perceivable by the eye, is often thought to depend principally upon the amount of light on the object or task to be seen, and that more light on the object or task will make it more visible. To some degree this is true, but visibility also depends upon visual acuity (the ability to distinguish fine details), and contrast sensitivity (the ability to detect the presence of luminous, or brightness, differences). Both visual acuity and contrast sensitivity vary with task luminance (brightness), which is determined by the amount of incident light, where the incident light comes from, and the reflectivity of the task.

TERMINOLOGY• Illumination:
luminous flux at any point on a surface exposed to incident light (direct or indirect)
• Lighting: Method to provide artificial illumination
• Shading: produce gradations of light or color
![Page 16: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TERMINOLOGY• Ambient Lighting:
> scattered > no detectable direction> backlighting in a room> can use to give a feel for the main color in a room> not dependent on viewpoint
• Diffused Lighting:> directional> scatters equally in all directions once hits
object> closest to the color of light
> not dependent on eye position
• Specular light : > comes from a detectable direction> bounces off object in preferred direction> plays a role in shininess> dependent on viewpoint
![Page 17: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
TERMINOLOGY• point source vs spotlight :
> point source: light emitted in all directions> spotlight: cone-shaped
• positional vs directional Lighting:> positional: like a desk lamp> directional: like the sun all rays parallel when reach object
![Page 18: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MATERIAL PROPERTIES
1. reflectance of lighta. ambient
> amount of ambient light > most visible where no direct light hits
b. diffuse> degree of scattering of light on surface> matte vs flat paint finish
Color of object == ambient and diffuse (typically set the same)

Fluorescent Fixtures
Fluorescent fixtures are especially important in places where the lights are used extensively, like kitchens, playrooms, and living rooms. CFL’s, T8 and T5 bulbs are the most efficient.
![Page 21: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Valence Lighting
• image • Provides efficient background and task lighting for the room
• Total of 70 watts using T-8 fluorescent bulbs
• Design recommended
![Page 22: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
• CF bulbs are 4x as efficient as incandescent lights. Many are equivalent in size to standard incandescent bulbs. This shows a ceiling light with 2 compact fluorescent bulbs.
![Page 23: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Other Fluorescent Lighting• Fixtures are
available in a variety of styles to fit a home’s décor
• Fluorescent fixtures should always be installed in places that will use lighting extensively, but they are not needed in closets
![Page 24: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Carefully Choose Your CF bulbs
• Energy Star rated CF’s must meet higher standards and will last longer
• Choose the right size (follow recommendations)
• Choose the right color (daylight, cool white, warm white) for your application (try one and see if you like it)
• Make sure it has a flicker-free, electronic instant -start ballast
![Page 25: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Types of Fluorescent Lights
• Ballast – activates the low pressure gas inside the bulb by varying the current (used in all fluorescent bulbs) Always choose electronic ballasts and instant-start flicker-free bulbs.
• Integral compact fluorescent – single unit (most common)
• Modular compact fluorescent – separate ballast and tube
• Ballasts can last 50,000 hours while bulbs may last 10,000 to 20,000 hours
![Page 26: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Energy and Environmental Savings
• A single 18 watt CF bulb replacing a standard 75 watt incandescent bulb saves over its lifetime of 20,000 hours1
• 570 kw-hr of electricity• 500 lbs of coal• 1300 lbs of carbon dioxide• 20 lbs of sulfur dioxide
![Page 27: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Task Lighting
• In many cases, it is more efficient to use task lighting for desks, workbenches, etc. than to illuminate the entire room at a high intensity.
![Page 28: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Incandescent Lighting
There are appropriate places to use incandescent bulbs, especially in low use areas like
• Closets• Storage rooms• Utility closets• Any minimal light
use area
![Page 29: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Measure of Lighting Efficiency
• Efficacy - measure of bulb efficiency ratio of the light output power (visible
region, measured in lumens) to the electrical input power (measured in watts).
Standard incandescent bulbs range from
8 to 20, halogen incandescent range from 12 to 24, while fluorescent bulbs range from 32 to 104.2
![Page 30: LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS AP 215](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c4b550346895da5cb19/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Other Lighting• Outdoor HID (high intensity discharge)
bulbs include mercury vapor, high-pressure sodium, and metal halide. The latter two are more efficient. Mercury vapor have efficacies of 20-60 compared to a range of 50 to 180 for sodium and metal halide.2
There are also cold-start CF bulbs for outdoors.
• Indoor halogen lights for high quality or precise focusing. Better than incandescent but not as efficient as fluorescent.
• Solar-powered walkway and patio lights. Easy to install.

Lighting Controls
• Simplest and cheapest strategy – turn off the lights manually when not in use
• Heat sensors (occupancy)• Motion sensors (occupancy)• Light sensors (for outdoors)• Dimmers
