This presentation shows ways to implement these strategies to maximize efficiency in a highly visible community demonstration project. Borrowed lighting allows daylight from one room into an adjacent one through shared interior windows. Building siting maximized the utility of daily sunlight patterns. Roof overhangs reduce and control glare. Light shelves at south shade windows and bounce light into interior areas.
Tall windows allow light to enter interior areas.
Shaped skylight wells diffuse and place light from the sun where it is needed. Electric lighting Effective match made between luminaire type and lighting purpose. Occupancy sensors dim unused areas. User-controlled task lighting puts light where it is needed when it is needed there. Indirect low-level ambient lighting is balanced with task lighting.
