Lighting

Three Basic Questions:

1. What is the task we are lighting?2. What is the required light level?3. What environmental factors affect the space?

[SOLUTION]How we operate within these parameters

Lighting – Three Basic Questions:1. What is the Task?

The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) has stated that parking structures often have a high incidence of:

PEDESTRIAN – VEHICLE CONFLICT

“Driver and pedestrians must contend with:Structural ColumnsPipe BollardsGuard RailsRailingsChanges in surface elevation (steps and curbing)Lane informationPavement markings”

Lighting – Three Basic Questions:1. What is the Task?

The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) has stated that parking structures often have a high incidence of:

PEDESTRIAN – VEHICLE CONFLICT

The Task is SAFETY and SECURITY

Lighting – Three Basic Questions: 2. What is the required light level?

The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) has a published report, RP-20-98, titled “Lighting for Parking Facilities”

IES RP-20-98 Provides foot candle requirements for:

Lighting – Three Basic Questions: 3. What environmental factors affect the space?

• Temperature – Virginia average Temp 51-58F (11C)

• As Built – Existing engineered structure– Limited ability to dramatically change lighting without

extensive capital expense

• Vibration – HID arc tubes

• Humidity / Water

Lighting – Three Basic Questions: How do we operate within these parameters?

• Model existing space and calculate light levels and light power density

• Light Source Selection – Lighting technology suited to the environment of the space

Lighting – Three Basic Questions: Operating parameters – Light Source Selection

High Intensity Discharge HID (HPS and PSMH)FEATURES: 10,000-24,000 Hour

HPS systems are very economical‘Performance to beat’No temperature sensitivity

DRAWBACKS: System wattage when looking at energy reductionLamp / Ballast systemMercury containing lamp – EPA Title 40HPS color temperature and CRINot Instant-On, Instant-Off

Lighting for Parking Structures

Evaluate two distinct areas:

1. Lighting

2. Economic View

Ideas on Lighting for Parking Structures – PULLER CORP Presentation with Block Lighting, Inc. © 2010

Economics

What is the total cost of system ownership?

• Energy Efficiency: LuminaireControls

• Operational Efficiency: Maintenance costs

Some costs are internalized (energy reductions)

Economics

Energy Efficiency:Luminaire: Wattage

Burn-TimekWh Rate

Controls: Is the garage used 24/7?Would occupancy sensors be appropriate?Would dimming be appropriate?Perimeter fixtures photo-

System Efficiency (ROI)

Efficiency factors are easily measured

Three Primary Components:1. Luminaire Fixture Specific2. Operating Conditions Operation of the light system3. Project Specific Labor Rates, Utility Rates, Cost

of Capital, Contractor Rates (install)
