Green Garage Use of Sustainable Lighting Design


Sustainability Goals

The sustainability goals for the Sustainable Lighting Design are:

  • Provide 80% of lighting needs with daylight.
  • Prvide high efficiency task lighting only when and where needed to conserve energy.
  • Provide minimum 10 footcandles for safety.
  • Integrate emergency lighting with PV system.
Strategy

The major elements of our ventilation strategy were:

Conceptual Design
  • Most of the lighting will be supplied by daylight through SolaTubes and windows.
  • Only places that require task lighting, emergency lighting, outdoor areas, and places not lit by daylight will have artificial lighting.
  • Include pictures, drawings or videos(flickr)
