TY - RPRT T1 - Tips for Daylighting with Windows: The Integrated Approach, 2nd Edition Y1 - 2013/ A1 - Jennifer Schumann A1 - Eleanor S. Lee A1 - Francis M. Rubinstein A1 - Stephen E. Selkowitz A1 - Alastair Robinson AB - These guidelines provide an integrated approach to the cost-effective design of perimeter zones in new commercial buildings and existing building retrofits. They function as a quick reference for building designers, through a set of easy steps and rules-of-thumb, emphasizing "how-to" practical details. References are given to more detailed sources of information, should the reader wish to go further.The design method used in this document emphasizes that building decisions should be made within the context of the whole building as a single functioning system rather than as an assembly of distinct parts. This integrated design approach looks at the ramifications of each individual system decision on the whole building. For example, the decision on glazing selection will have an effect on lighting, mechanical systems, and interior design. Therefore, the entire design team should participate and influence this glazing decision—which typically rests with the architect alone. The benefit of an integrated design approach is a greater chance of success towards long-term comfort and sustained energy savings in the building. ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Technical Note: Commissioning procedures for the dimmable daylighting control systems Y1 - 2007/03// A1 - Francis M. Rubinstein AB - This memorandum presents a procedure for verifying that the lighting controls manufacturer has properly calibrated the response of control system for the overhead lighting at the NY Times building. Proper calibration of the lighting control system in this building means adjusting the output of the overhead lighting system so that the following criteria are satisfied:The average illuminance over a representative portion of the workstation task surface is at least 90% of the target design level (450 lux is 90% of the target 500 lux level1) andThe overhead lights in the vicinity of the workstation are significantly dimmed (or OFF) if the average illuminance is > 125% (650 lux) of the target level.

They function as a quick reference for designers through a set of easy steps and rules-of-thumb, emphasizing "how-to" practical details. References are given to more detailed sources of information, should the reader wish to go further.No guidelines can answer all possible questions from all types of users. However, this document addresses the most commonly occurring scenarios. The guidance here is limited by the medium; short paper documents can only go so far in assisting a designer with a unique project. This document has been carefully shaped to best meet the needs of a designer when time does not permit a more extensive form of assistance.The design method used in this document emphasizes that building decisions should be made within the context of the whole building as a single functioning system rather than as an assembly of distinct parts.
