Product Detailed Description

Following a brief introduction, the main sections of this Practice are:

The roles of lighting in educational facilities - describing how various lighting schemes can best support specific instructional media (voice, chalkboard, video);
Instructional spaces and associated areas - examining the lighting requirements for all manner of spaces from general-purpose classrooms and lecture halls to circulation areas;
Lighting design considerations - identifying specific design issues including visual tasks, education level, psychological impacts, maintenance, energy management, costs, and government codes;
The lighting system - describing the various lighting system components (lamps, luminaires, ballasts, controls) and some of the key considerations that go into selecting the most appropriate system;
Life cycle cost benefit - analysis presenting an advanced analytical technique (LCCBA) that allows the initial construction costs and all future costs associated with lighting system operation/maintenance to influence design decisions (also discussed are the equivalent annual cost method and the total present value method); and
Measurement of lighting system performance recording a complete detailed description of the surveyed area, listing all factors that might affect results, such as: interior surface reflectance, lamp type and age, voltage, and instrumentation used.
