PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVEDuring some much appreciatedvacation time in May, my wifeMelonie and I stayed at a favoritelocation on the SouthwestWashington coast. Those getaways overthe years have supplied me with countlessopportunities to take photos <strong>of</strong> seabirdslike the one on page 8. When it comes tophotography I cannot tell you what all thetechnical details are that bring a photo likethis to life; I am more concerned with compositionand framing, not the f-stop andshutter speed. <strong>The</strong>re are those who cantake apart and put together those aspectsand not only am I in awe <strong>of</strong> what they do, Iam grateful for their talents. In the sameway, there are a great many members inthe IES whose talents we find ourselvesthankfully drawing on as we work throughissues and opportunities that our industryengages in with all the demands <strong>of</strong> progressiveideals.Over the last few years I have had the wonderfulpleasure <strong>of</strong> working with many peopleat the Board <strong>of</strong> Director level whose abilitiesmade me feel fortunate to know and workwith them. This past year I had a truly blessedexperience working with Chip Israel; we hada lot <strong>of</strong> fun and did a lot <strong>of</strong> good work in areasthat we share a common interest in suchas emerging pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and education. Asuccessful move forward has taken place inthe IES from which we are just starting to seebenefits. Thank you, Chip, for giving us a goodpush and I look forward to working with youthis year in your new role as past-president.<strong>The</strong>re are others who are leaving the Board<strong>of</strong> Directors after years <strong>of</strong> hard work whoseamazing talents helped create the changeswe have seen. I would ask you all to dropthem a line <strong>of</strong> thanks because we benefitedfrom their talents for a season: Shelli Sedlak(director), Neall Digert (director), PeggySue Meehan (regional director), Peter Hugh(regional director) and last, but nowhere nearleast, Denis Lavoie (past president). Fromsomeone who knows them well, these arepeople who are devoted to the IES and itsmembers; let them know they are appreciated.COME A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FIREThis brings me to a very important topic thatcarries a deadline. It’s time we start gatheringnames <strong>of</strong> those who have leadership abilitiesvery much needed by the <strong>Society</strong>—peoplewho can contribute the talents necessary forthe continuing growth <strong>of</strong> the IES. Trust me,each individual has specific talents they maynever realize until they’ve had the opportunityto see them put to use under circumstancesdifferent from their everyday experience.Some <strong>of</strong> the most amazing individuals I knowin leadership positions are people who werein the background, quietly working away butnever allowing themselves to be challengeduntil someone encouraged them to “come alittle closer to the fire”. . . <strong>of</strong> leadership.Each <strong>of</strong> the individuals listed above sawa reason to screw their courage to the walland step up to the challenge at the Section,District and Board <strong>of</strong> Director levels. <strong>The</strong>y didit because they saw an opportunity to stepinto the fray.

PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVEknowledge and leadership far exceeds whatthey paid in dues and expenses. <strong>The</strong> deadlinefor nominations for Board <strong>of</strong> Director positionsis September 1. If this is an area that youfeel ready to pursue, the time to step in is now.Over the next year my goal is to use the“President’s Perspective” to point out some <strong>of</strong>the great opportunities within the IES, and thismonth I present to you the IES Committees.Five years ago the IES Knowledge Committee(a subcommittee within the Board <strong>of</strong> Directorsupdate and review <strong>of</strong> existing documents,to technical review and final review by theBoard <strong>of</strong> Directors. Some <strong>of</strong> these documentsare part <strong>of</strong> joint work with organizationssuch as USGBC, ASHRAE, ANSI, IALD,AIA, IDA, NEMA and numerous others whojoin with us for a specific purpose. If you goto the IES website’s members section andscan the list <strong>of</strong> committees and subcommittees,you will see a varied list <strong>of</strong> subjectsthat we as a body are dealing with. <strong>The</strong> listwell as work that is part <strong>of</strong> the Strategic Plan<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong>. <strong>The</strong> committees are a majorpart <strong>of</strong> this work. When we get to the AnnualConference, October 27-29 in HuntingtonBeach, CA, take time to sit in on a committeemeeting or two; it will open your eyes.If you are an Emerging Pr<strong>of</strong>essionalattending the conference, I invite you to theStudent and Emerging Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals Day onSaturday, October 26. Our theme this year isbased on the circular aspect <strong>of</strong> education in<strong>The</strong> deadline for nominations for Board <strong>of</strong> Director positions isSeptember 1.

This gave us a tool tohelp monitor the health <strong>of</strong> the committees andprioritize documents <strong>of</strong> concern. Needless tosay the list has grown—currently this documentis 29 pages long—and will continue togrow as we move forward.At this point, we have well over 175 documents<strong>of</strong> multiple types that are in variousstages <strong>of</strong> development, from project initiationto draft versions <strong>of</strong> new documents, todoesn’t include specific task groups withinthose committees that research informationto bring back to the committee for review.KEEP YOUR EAR TO THE GROUNDBesides being on committees, I have theopportunity from time to time to sit in on othercommittee meetings and take notes on whatthey do. A few months ago it was a short segment<strong>of</strong> a Technical Procedures Committeemeeting; now I truly understand the difficultyand importance <strong>of</strong> their work. Each phasewithin certain sections <strong>of</strong> a document canbe interpreted incorrectly unless it is statedas succinctly and concisely as possible. <strong>The</strong>individuals working on it debated long onsome issues, and I tip my baseball cap tothem and the work they do.

NEWS+NOTESSleep No MoreRed Light Increases Alertness During‘Post-Lunch’ DipAcute or chronic sleep deprivation resulting in increased feelings <strong>of</strong> fatigue is one <strong>of</strong> theleading causes <strong>of</strong> workplace incidents and related injuries. More incidents and performancefailures, such as automobile accidents, occur in the mid-afternoon hours known as the “postlunchdip.” <strong>The</strong> dip typically occurs from 2-4 p.m., or about 16-18 hours after an individual’sbedtime from the previous night.A new study from the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer PolytechnicInstitute shows that exposure to certain wavelengths and levels <strong>of</strong> light have the potentialto increase alertness during thepost-lunch dip. <strong>The</strong> research wasa collaboration between MarianaFigueiro, LRC Light and Health programdirector and associate pr<strong>of</strong>essorat Rensselaer, and LRC doctoralstudent Levent Sahin. Results <strong>of</strong> thestudy titled “Alerting effects <strong>of</strong> short-wavelength (blue) and long-wavelength (red) lights inthe afternoon,” were recently published in Physiology & Behavior journal.During the study conducted at the LRC, participants experienced two experimental lightingconditions in addition to darkness. Long-wavelength “red” light and short-wavelength“blue” light were delivered to the corneas <strong>of</strong> each participant by arrays <strong>of</strong> LEDs placed in60 by 60 by 60cm light boxes. Participant alertness was measured by EEG and subjectivesleepiness (KSS scale). <strong>The</strong> team found that, compared to remaining in darkness, exposureto red light in the middle <strong>of</strong> the afternoon significantly reduces power in the alpha, alphatheta and theta ranges. Because high power in these frequency ranges has been associatedwith sleepiness, these results suggest that red light positively affects measures <strong>of</strong> alertnessnot only at night, but also during the day.NumbersGame26,026Attendees at this year’sLIGHTFAIR International, anew record for the tradeshowand conference.127.1 %Increase on ayear-over-year basis forhalogen A-line lampshipments during Q1 2013,according to NEMA’s index.220 millionUnits <strong>of</strong> LED tubelights projected to shipglobally in 2013, accordingto Digitimes Research.e-report@Coming soonto an inboxnear you!10 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

ENERGY ADVISORWhat I Learned At the Fairby Willard L. Warren‘How to’ meets‘what’s new’was the essence <strong>of</strong>LIGHTFAIR 2013Aformer editor <strong>of</strong> EC&M (ElectricalConstruction & Maintenance) magazine,Berlon Cooper, told advertisersthat architects and engineersare eager to learn “what’s new” and“how to do it.” In Philadelphia, LIGHTFAIRInternational 2013 provided the “what’s new”at the Innovation Awards and the manufacturers’booths, while the “how to” was coveredin seminars. One “how to” featured thelighting upgrade <strong>of</strong> the 10-year-old, 600,000sq ft <strong>of</strong>fices <strong>of</strong> Ernst & Young LLP, located inNew York City’s Times Square, while anotherdescribed three different energy conservationprojects ongoing in Philadelphia:• <strong>The</strong> energy upgrade <strong>of</strong> six local municipalrecreational areas• <strong>The</strong> Philadelphia Mayor’s Office <strong>of</strong>Sustainability “Greenworks” programand• <strong>The</strong> energy upgrade on the campus <strong>of</strong>the University <strong>of</strong> Pennsylvania.Two different scenarios were illustrated:one for a major commercial accountingfirm known for watching every pennyspent by them and their clients and theother for municipal and institutional (nontaxable)clients, where the choice <strong>of</strong> siteswas influenced by local needs.<strong>The</strong> Ernst & Young LLP space initially hada connected lighting power density load(LPD) <strong>of</strong> 2 watts per sq ft, however, StephenMargulies, partner <strong>of</strong> One Lux Studio, wasdetermined to cut the LPD in half to 1 wattper sq ft to meet the energy code limitprescribed for new construction. In orderto do that, Margulies replaced the existinghalogen MR16s with LEDs; converted allthe pendant luminaires installed in private<strong>of</strong>fices that initially had T5HO lamps to standardenergy-saving T5s; and completelyretr<strong>of</strong>itted the 3,000 26-W quad CFL downlightslocated in sheetrock ceilings withnew reflectors, sockets, drivers and LEDsthat had to be installed “laparoscopicly,”i.e., through the hole in the ceiling.Margulies’s team included constructionmanager Jim Schwartz <strong>of</strong> JAS Consulting,who handled all the logistics, and FrankAustin <strong>of</strong> Philips North America, who coordinatedwith the original luminaire manufacturerand UL for the listing <strong>of</strong> all the conversionkits. In addition, all the existing lightingcontrols were found to be ineffective andwere re-commissioned and re-addressed.<strong>The</strong> reduction <strong>of</strong> 600 kilowatts cost $3.5million, with a payback <strong>of</strong> three-and-a-halfyears at the present blended rate <strong>of</strong> 18cents per kWh. Those “negawatts” cost$5,800 per kilowatt—which is less thanit would cost to build a new generatingcapacity in the New York City area—plus ithad a payback <strong>of</strong> $1 million annually.THE PHILADELPHIA STORY<strong>The</strong> “Philadelphia Story” was told bythree locally based designers:• Mary Alcaraz, principal <strong>of</strong> EwingCole,advanced the lighting <strong>of</strong> six recreationalareas that included swimming pools,basketball and tennis courts and baseballfields with annual electricity usage<strong>of</strong> 1.12 million kWh.• Fredda Lippes <strong>of</strong> the Philadelphia Mayor’sOffice <strong>of</strong> Sustainability explained thecity’s “Greenworks” program, and• Margo Barnes <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong>Pennsylvania discussed its 290-acrecampus, 14 million sq ft <strong>of</strong> indoor spacein 12 schools housed in 180 buildings,which were badly in need <strong>of</strong> energyupgrading and cost reduction.12 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

She providedevery project with three different designoptions within a maximum allowable paybackperiod <strong>of</strong> five years at a utility rate <strong>of</strong>12 cents per kWh, and chose the best solution<strong>of</strong> the three. In addition, web-basedmonitoring was added to every facility sothat each specific area or major functioncould be separately monitored and locallycontrolled. <strong>The</strong> results were an energycost reduction from 20 to 60 percent.Lippes described the “Greenworks” programas necessary to counter Philadelphia’sincreasing cost <strong>of</strong> energy as well as reducingits environmental footprint. One goalwas the purchase and generation <strong>of</strong> 20percent <strong>of</strong> the city’s energy needs usingalternate sources by 2015, which includelocating solar panels on the ro<strong>of</strong>s <strong>of</strong> municipallyowned facilities (they are already 60percent <strong>of</strong> the way there). <strong>The</strong> programmandates energy benchmarking for buildingsand educating users on how to implementenergy conserving measures.Barnes not only manages U <strong>of</strong> Penn’sEnergy Reduction and Load Managementplan with building upgrades, but she hasalso developed a strategy for behavioralchange <strong>of</strong> their 20,000 students and an equalnumber <strong>of</strong> faculty and staff members toaid in energy conservation. Two buildingshave been totally upgraded using conventionalmeasures similar to those described byAlcaraz. However, in addition, the Universityhas a “Rapid Response Team” for reducingspikes in energy usage revealed by graphicEnergy Usage displays. In addition, she hasinitiated a pilot program for trying new technologyon a small scale before installing itin their buildings—such as LEDs installedin the T-bar grid in hung ceilings. All indoorspaces will now include occupancy sensorcontrols and all outdoor areas are beingswitched from 250-W HPS to 65-W LEDs.<strong>The</strong> University also compares costs on every14 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

APPS + ANSWERS<strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Execution</strong>by Don Peifer‘Safe-bet’ SSL products<strong>of</strong>ten result when designintent gets lost on thejourney to productlaunch. Some ideas forimproving the processFor lighting designers looking forthe newest thing, it can be frustrating.At any one time, maybe 5percent <strong>of</strong> the installed base is upfor bid, and there is a lot <strong>of</strong> competitionfor a seat at the table. As lighting experts,we need to drive value or risk losing thatseat. Our best chance lies in our abilityto teach the architects, the engineersand the contractors about the latestand greatest lighting technology. <strong>The</strong>problem is that the latest—especiallywhen it comes to LED products—is notnecessarily the greatest. Heck, most <strong>of</strong>the time, we’d settle for good.<strong>The</strong> problem is an influx <strong>of</strong> uninspiredfare. We are now surrounded by a funnelcloud <strong>of</strong> products that meet performancespecifications but are decidedly utilitarian.One conclusion you can draw from that isthat manufacturers are playing it safe—only thinking about one part <strong>of</strong> the problem.Indeed, as the performance <strong>of</strong> individualLEDs increase and even more applicationsopen up to the technology, it is clear theends don’t justify the means. Most designerscontinue to bemoan the presence <strong>of</strong>individual optics capable <strong>of</strong> retina-fryingluminance and heat sinks that are bettersuited for hand-to-hand combat thansophisticated design projects. It is worthasking: how did we arrive at this place?One clue lies in the paradigm shift toSSL. Prior to the advent <strong>of</strong> LED, the lightingworld had an understanding. <strong>The</strong>rewere lamp manufacturers and there werefixture manufacturers. <strong>The</strong> former solda commodity product and went throughdistribution; the later was a specificationproduct sold through agencies. <strong>The</strong> twopieces met at the job site, and everyoneunderstood his or her place. Lamp manufacturersdidn’t want to think about bendingand shipping metal, and the fixturemanufacturers didn’t want to think aboutmaking sources. Because <strong>of</strong> LEDs, thewedge that separated these two referenceplanes was pulled out, and they camecrashing down upon one another. Now,you can’t build a fixture without a LED, andthe lamp manufacturers <strong>of</strong> the previousparadigm are scrambling to bring SSL backto the old paradigm with palatable engines.<strong>The</strong> results are less than ideal.TYRANNY OF ENGINEERINGAnother clue is that the new paradigm<strong>of</strong> lighting has pulled in a different breed<strong>of</strong> system designer. If you were a fixturemanufacturer in the old paradigm, youwere concerned fundamentally with onlymechanical and optical engineering. SSLhas added electrical and thermal engineeringto the list. It is a greatly expanded skillset, which naturally pulls in people withroots in the semi-conductor industry. <strong>The</strong>approach becomes predictable: we havethis LED, we are happy with it, now how dowe put it into a package that is palatable tothe consumer? <strong>The</strong> danger <strong>of</strong> an LED-firstapproach is that you are working frominside to out. You’re not thinking about theapplication, light on the task or the needs<strong>of</strong> the spec community.It is similar to the “car show effect.” Carshows are ground zero for inspiration. <strong>The</strong>yare a celebration <strong>of</strong> the automotive industry’spotential and the “what if?” We showup, we get excited by a hot prototype. Wewait a couple <strong>of</strong> years, but what we get isthe result <strong>of</strong> the product development lifecycle. <strong>Engineering</strong> gets their hooks in it. <strong>The</strong>n,18 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

APPS + ANSWERSimplications. Add an LED and you need todesign a new board, change the number<strong>of</strong> LEDs in a string, possibly go to a completelydifferent power supply. Because <strong>of</strong>the prohibitive amount <strong>of</strong> engineering thatgoes into each product, manufacturers aremuch less inclined to turn on those ideas.This creates a crisis <strong>of</strong> sorts, and it isthe reason that so much emphasis is beingplaced on the creation <strong>of</strong> decent engines.Prepackaged LED arrays and power suppliesallow designers the opportunity tomaintain early paradigm conceits. By notdesigning from ground zero around thestrengths <strong>of</strong> the technology, however, wedelay the inevitable shift away from theprevious lamp and fixture paradigm.Another thing that I never appreciateduntil I started meeting with manufacturersis how rare a breed the company is thatcould bring a decent concept to fruition.From one angle, it is alarming, but fromanother it gives me hope. Business is theultimate meritocracy. As SSL evolves, themarket will reward those that get it andcan execute and will punish those thatcan’t. Success and sophisticated, nuancedproducts ultimately is less about artfulnessand more about the art <strong>of</strong> execution.That’s scalable, that’s sustainable and thatis worth waiting for.Don Peifer is director <strong>of</strong> lighting at Sensity.FOR BACK ISSUESCall Leslie Prestia212-248-5000 ext 111www.ies.org LD+A | July 2013 21

POLICY POINTSup with its own version. And, guess what!<strong>The</strong> House has developed its own version.And, guess what again? This time, the Houseversion is identical to the Senate version!<strong>The</strong> House bill (also introduced in April) isdesignated H.R. 1616, the “Energy Savingsand Industrial Competitiveness Act <strong>of</strong> 2013.”<strong>The</strong> bill’s main sponsor is RepresentativeMcKinley (R-WV) with Rep. Welch (D-VT)as the co-sponsor. <strong>The</strong> bill was referred to n<strong>of</strong>ewer than six committees, which will almostsurely create introduction delays (Ya think!).As an aside, these two representatives arethe new co-chairs <strong>of</strong> the High-PerformanceBuildings Congressional Caucus.What’s the next step? It appears (again,at the date <strong>of</strong> this writing) that the Senatebill has a good chance <strong>of</strong> passing. Whenthat happens, there will probably be somenegotiation with whatever the House producesfrom the six committees assignedto work on their version. As you may surmise,passage <strong>of</strong> a bill by both Chambers <strong>of</strong>Congress may be a ways <strong>of</strong>f.A SHORTER BILLIn a related building energy issue,Representatives Welch (D-VT) and Gardner(R-CO) have introduced a bill in April designatedH.R. 1659, the “Federal BuildingsEnergy Saving Act <strong>of</strong> 2013.” It has beenreferred to the House Energy and CommerceCommittee and is awaiting markup. It is quitea short bill (probably done just to get the ballrolling) and is likely going to be significantlyenhanced in committee prior to being reintroduced.<strong>The</strong> main intent <strong>of</strong> this bill isto provide for utilization <strong>of</strong> energy savingsperformance contracts and utility energyservice contracts when government buildingsconsider energy-efficiency improvementsin existing buildings. This approachdiscourages the use <strong>of</strong> government fundsfor modifications and encourages the use <strong>of</strong>private sector funding.So, it looks like April was the month forintroducing building energy bills. Let’s hopewe see some results soon and help getbuilding energy efficiency (and <strong>of</strong> course,lighting energy efficiency) on a more activepath, especially for retr<strong>of</strong>its <strong>of</strong> existingbuildings. After all, that’s one way to get oureconomy moving and produce jobs.Bob Horner is director <strong>of</strong> public policy forthe IES.24 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

THE COMPANY • THE CANDIDATESigns That <strong>The</strong>y’re Just Not That Into Youby Paul PompeoOne <strong>of</strong> these redflags might not bemuch to worryabout. But two ormore could meanyour candidate justdoesn’t have coldfeet—it’s more likethey’re frozen solid<strong>The</strong>re was a film that came out a fewyears ago in the romantic-comedygenre entitled He’s Just Not ThatInto You, starring Drew Barrymore,Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson andBen Affleck. It was based on a self-helpbook by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccill<strong>of</strong>rom a few years earlier. Now what doesthat have to do with light engines or hiringa chief technology <strong>of</strong>ficer, you may ask?Good question. I’m working backwards,here, so please bear with me.I wrote a column a few years back(“Avoiding Candidate Remorse”), whichtalked about things hiring managers shoulddo as soon as a candidate has acceptedthe job <strong>of</strong>fer and before the start date. Asdiscussed in that column, many companiesmake the mistake <strong>of</strong> assuming thatjust because the candidate accepted theirposition, that’s all they need to do otherthan look forward to the candidate’s startdate. It’s a great position, great companyand <strong>of</strong> course you’re a great manager, andthe candidate seemed pretty excited at thelast interview and/or while accepting, sonothing more needs to be done to maintainthe candidate’s interest, right?In fact, there have been many times that Ihave received a call from a company presidentlooking to have us conduct a searchfor, say, a vice president <strong>of</strong> sales. That presidentwill say: “We thought we had someonehired, we were very excited about them,but they have now turned down the <strong>of</strong>fer(or accepted another <strong>of</strong>fer).“ So now theirsearch begins anew. When this happens,there are almost always warning signs, butthe employer might not have been aware<strong>of</strong> their importance. So, with apologies toBehrendt and Tuccillo, here are the top 11signs that your employee to be is just notthat into your <strong>of</strong>fer:1. Doesn’t return your calls right away.Yes, your candidate may be currentlyemployed and should be wrapping uploose ends at his current company, buthe should be able to return your callspromptly. He may be traveling, but thereshould be no reason you shouldn’t beable to have your call returned withinless than 24 hours. Delayed return callsafter acceptance can be a sign thatsomething is amiss.2. Responds to your phone messages bye-mail and/or text. We had a situationearlier last year where the president <strong>of</strong>our client (a building controls manufacturer)was calling the candidate whohad accepted their <strong>of</strong>fer as vice president<strong>of</strong> sales. Instead <strong>of</strong> a call back, theclient, after a delay, would receive atext message. This happened severaltimes and in this case it turns out thecandidate did not accept.3. Hasn’t given notice yet. Your candidatewill never start with your companyif they don’t first give notice at theircurrent one. <strong>The</strong> vast majority <strong>of</strong> candidateswe place give notice withinone or two business days <strong>of</strong> receivinga written <strong>of</strong>fer. Accept no excuses—ifyour candidate has not given noticeby this time, ask for a deadline forthem to do so (within 72 hours is morethan enough, barring any extenuatingcircumstances). Reluctance to givenotice is not unusual, but if they seemto delay and push back giving notice,there is usually a problem.4. Can’t provide you with a concrete (oracceptable) start date.

THE COMPANY - THE CANDIDATEvague answers from your prospectivenew employee when you try to set astart date. Now, it’s not uncommonfor a newly-engaged couple to set awedding date <strong>of</strong> say, six months, oneyear (or even two) from the date <strong>of</strong>their engagement. Not the same forthe candidate you want to hire. If yourcandidate can’t provide you a specificstart date or asks for a start date <strong>of</strong> amonth or more from their acceptance,they have something to hide: <strong>The</strong>yeither have concerns about taking yourposition, are waiting on another opportunity,or both.5. <strong>The</strong> start date creeps backward. Fromour experience, most candidates areeager to get on board with their newcompany as soon as possible. Anytime your candidate comes back toyou requesting a later date to start, it’sgood to at least evaluate the reasonsfor the request. <strong>The</strong>y may have a validexplanation for the delay, but you havethe right to ask why and you shouldclearly understand the reason.6. Hasn’t examined housing in your area. Ifthe position requires relocation and yourcandidate is not enquiring about tripsto the area, and his or her significantother has no questions about schoolsor demographic information about thearea, this indicates that either the topic<strong>of</strong> relocation hasn’t been discussedbetween them (a definite red flag) oryour candidate has truly not made thedecision to relocate. Candidates readyto take your opportunity will have manyquestions about housing, commutepatterns, cost <strong>of</strong> living, recommendedneighborhoods, etc. <strong>The</strong> candidate withno questions is a warning sign.7. Surprises keep cropping up. Issues cancome up once a candidate has accepted.However, if one problem after anothercomes up, you need to examine if yourcandidate has other concerns about theposition. I remember hearing the story acouple years ago <strong>of</strong> a search candidatefor a vice president <strong>of</strong> operations, who,two weeks after accepting an <strong>of</strong>fer andone week before his scheduled startdate, suddenly remembered a clause inhis contract with his current employerthat required him to pay back the relocationfunds his old company had providedif he left within a certain period <strong>of</strong> time.With surprises like this, either you havea candidate who is very forgetful, isnot big on details, or wasn’t forthcomingabout things you really should havebeen informed <strong>of</strong> much earlier. In anycase, you may have a bigger problemthan his latest issue/crisis.8. Additional demands crop up/candidatebegins negotiating after the fact. Soyour candidate has accepted your <strong>of</strong>fer.Now she begins to want to debate termsor seek changes in terms she previouslyhad agreed to. It could be an effort topush back the timeframe in which sheneeds to relocate or, worse yet, she maybe reconsidering her desire to relocate.9. Hasn’t returned a copy <strong>of</strong> the signed<strong>of</strong>fer letter. <strong>The</strong> excuses can be manywhen this happens—doesn’t haveaccess to a scanner, the fax machine isbroken, it’s being reviewed by an attorney.Anytime a candidate takes morethan 24-48 hours to sign and returnyour <strong>of</strong>fer letter, be aware that you mayhave a problem.10. Doesn’t provide references even if the<strong>of</strong>fer is contingent upon them. Almost28 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

THE COMPANY - THE CANDIDATEHOW EMPLOYERS CAN NIP IT IN THE BUDHiring managers need not feel helpless if they have a reluctant warrior on theirhands. Here are a half-dozen things employers can do to prevent the issues describedin the main article from cropping up, or to deal with them once those warning bellsstart to go <strong>of</strong>f:1. When extending a verbal <strong>of</strong>fer, always set a start date set at the same time. Youcan always shift it one or two weeks forward or backward if a candidate’s currentemployer would like them to stay one more week to wrap up loose ends, or haveyour candidate start earlier if they are released by their company after giving notice(which <strong>of</strong>ten occurs if a candidate is going to a direct competitor).2. If your <strong>of</strong>fer was accepted verbally, make sure that the written version goes out nomore than 24-48 hours from the time the candidate verbally accepted (and make sureall terms match completely).3. Include a date within the <strong>of</strong>fer letter by which the document must be signed andreturned (24, 48 and 72 hour periods are fairly common). If the <strong>of</strong>fer is not signedand returned on or before the deadline, the document is void.4. Keep your <strong>of</strong>fer letter as brief as humanly (and legally) possible. You want to include allthe needed points, but we occasionally see written <strong>of</strong>fers from clients that look likemortgage documents. Keep in mind, the longer your <strong>of</strong>fer letter (or the more convolutedor filled with “legalese”), the more likely your prospective employee will want tohave her attorney review it, which then <strong>of</strong>ten leads to a battle on points between thetwo parties’ lawyers. This can sometimes not only delay the start date but also createan adversarial tone to the relationship with your desired hire.5. When you start to see two more <strong>of</strong> the points discussed earlier come up with yourprospective employee, deal directly (but positively) with the candidate right away.This should only be done by the hiring manager—the person to whom the personwill report. It’s okay (and helpful) to ask questions like, “Has anything changedsince we spoke last?” “Are you still excited about the opportunity?” “What was thereaction <strong>of</strong> your employer when you gave notice?” A good executive recruiting firmwill be asking these questions <strong>of</strong> your candidate, but it doesn’t hurt if you do as well.P.S. Never do these in an e-mail. You can hear a lot more in the tone <strong>of</strong> the voiceor long pauses before answering your question. This will never be caught in ane-mail exchange.6. If all else fails, you can always employ the “R” word—rescind. This is not somethingyou want to do lightly, but if the start date becomes that mirage on a deserthighway—always somewhere ahead <strong>of</strong> you on the horizon, but never gettingcloser—this may be an option. Likewise, if you see multiple warning signs withyour candidate (even if they pr<strong>of</strong>ess their interest), it’s okay to bring up the topic <strong>of</strong>possibly rescinding. How you deliver the message depends on how much you wantthe candidate and how credible you feel their reasons are.everyone should be able to providesome references (a person who isretired, who has since left the industry,etc.). Dragging one’s feet on thisimplies either someone wants to delaythe process and/or is concerned aboutwhat the references will say—neitheris a positive reason.11. Is reluctant to have you announce her/his joining your company. Now, if that’snot a red flag, what is? If the candidatehasn’t given notice to his old company,that’s understandable. However,if he has, or if he’s between companies,this type <strong>of</strong> hesitation is kind <strong>of</strong> likethe groom-to-be who doesn’t want hisfiancée to announce their engagement.Not a good sign.TWO AND COUNTINGNow, is one <strong>of</strong> these items enough tocause you panic or to consider rescindingyour <strong>of</strong>fer? Probably not. But it is a warning,like a light going on your car’s dashboard,<strong>of</strong> something you should at least beaware <strong>of</strong>. However, once you see two ormore <strong>of</strong> these signs come up with a candidatebefore start date, there is probablygood reason to be concerned. It’s importanthere not to be idle, but a proactiveapproach on your part can potentially saveyou time, grief, money and embarrassment.Paul Pompeo is president <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> PompeoGroup (www.pompeo.com), an executiverecruiting firm in the lighting, LED and controlsarena.email a letter tothe editor:ptarricone@ies.org30 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTERGo With<strong>The</strong> FlowAfter water was ruled out, a river<strong>of</strong> light now dazzles guests at theAnaheim Convention CenterBY DIANA VENTIMIGLIA<strong>The</strong> Anaheim Convention Center Grand Plaza is a 168,000 sq ftadult playground equipped with alfresco dining, concerts, receptions,exhibitions and more. <strong>The</strong> Grand Plaza representsan enormous transformation <strong>of</strong> the guest experience at theconvention center and its surrounding hotels. A former throughwayfor taxis and buses, the roadway has been converted into a largepedestrian mall <strong>of</strong> more than 1,400 ft long and 120 ft wide.After several workshops with stakeholders including the ConventionCenter, the City <strong>of</strong> Anaheim, the Anaheim Hilton and the AnaheimMarriott, lighting design consultancy StudioK1, Irvine, CA, workingwith landscape architectural firm RJM, developed a theme for unifyingthe plaza. “We came up with a ‘River <strong>of</strong> Light’ concept, groundedby large fountains on either end <strong>of</strong> the plaza,” explains Peter Maradudin,studio director <strong>of</strong> StudioK1. <strong>The</strong> river was originally intended tobe a water feature extending the 600-plus ft between the fountains,representing the Santa Ana River around which the City <strong>of</strong> Anaheimwas founded. <strong>The</strong> Mountain Fountain represents the San GabrielMountains, and as the water moves west it reaches the Ocean Fountain,representing the Pacific Ocean. After some analysis, however,the river water feature was deemed too expensive and unwieldy.“When we realized we couldn’t execute our original concept, Iproposed creating a kinetic light artwork that would simulate theflow <strong>of</strong> water and the sparkle <strong>of</strong> sunlight playing on its surface,”says Maradudin. “With the right controls, I knew it could be programmedto do anything.” With the help <strong>of</strong> lighting designer KaitlinLeSage Crawford, also <strong>of</strong> StudioK1, a landscape <strong>of</strong> light was createdthat flows organically from one fountain to the other. <strong>The</strong> entirelighting design provided energy efficiency without skimping onquality. LEDs were used throughout the project—from the pedestrianpoles to the floodlights. <strong>The</strong> entire installation uses less than16,000 watts <strong>of</strong> light, or approximately .1-W per sq ft.PARTING THE SEAS<strong>The</strong> simulated river is composed <strong>of</strong> about 300 ingrade fixtures(Targetti/Poulsen) <strong>of</strong> two different sizes. Each was laid out in arandom pattern within a blue highlighted “river” stained into theconcrete. “<strong>The</strong> fixtures were chosen due to their high drive-overrating, integral drivers, tri-color LED chips and modular, easy tomaintain construction,” says Maradudin. “We had the lensesfrosted with a wave pattern anti-slip feature on the top <strong>of</strong> thelenses.” <strong>The</strong> tri-color LED chips were essential to the success <strong>of</strong>the project, as instead <strong>of</strong> seeing red, green and blue trying to mixtogether on each lens, each lens is the color already mixed.Photos: Tom Paiva, Tom Paiva Photography34 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER<strong>The</strong> River <strong>of</strong> Light wends its way over 600 ft from the Mountain Fountain in the distance through an arbor structure at the center <strong>of</strong> the Plaza.<strong>The</strong> concourse <strong>of</strong> palm trees is lighted by LED fixtures on tree rings that also provide base illumination for pedestrians.For 25 minutes <strong>of</strong> each half hour, the river has a pattern thatmimics the flow <strong>of</strong> water with sunlight sparkling <strong>of</strong>f the surface.This is done with variations <strong>of</strong> blue, with white light flashing randomlythroughout. <strong>The</strong> effect was created using a video file, whichis part <strong>of</strong> the programming s<strong>of</strong>tware. At each half hour, there is afive-minute show that uses a wider range <strong>of</strong> color and movement.During the 25 minute “quiescent” section <strong>of</strong> the programming, theocean fountain and its jets are low, with blue and white coloration.During the more active shows, the fountain also changes colordramatically, with the jets controlled by the lighting system, allowingfor dramatic changes in fountain jet height.Adorned with the words "Anaheim Convetion Center," the 60-ftmonument at the entrance to the plaza also changes color, but withina very tight palette range (magenta through purple to dark blue), andit transitions slowly, so as not to distract vehicular traffic or detractfrom the movement <strong>of</strong> the river. <strong>The</strong> monument is lighted from withinby seven high-powered Philips Color Kinetics RGB LED fixtures.Each is 295 watts, with a wide optic in the lower lens and a narrowoptic in the upper lens to get all the way to the top <strong>of</strong> the monument.CONTINUING MOVEMENT<strong>The</strong>re were several other layers <strong>of</strong> light to consider for theproject: pedestrian lighting, landscape lighting and lighting forthe benches and steps to name a few. <strong>The</strong>re are 151 palm treesand 60 orange trees surrounding the plaza. To light the palm trees,Maradudin’s team used tree-ring mounted LED bullets—twopointing up into the palm canopy and two pointing down to lightthe pedestrian walkways. Each bullet is 15 watts.<strong>The</strong> existing fixtures lighting the pedestrian pathways werePoulsen Albertslund metal halide. “We felt we should be consis-36 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

Sincethe tree-ring mounted LED fixtures were already on the palms,Maradudin’s team decided to use those to light the bulk <strong>of</strong> theplaza. <strong>The</strong> Anaheim police requested 2 fc, average, for pedestrianareas, so StudioK1 had to meet that requirement.Lighting under the benches and under the fountain steps provedto be more <strong>of</strong> a challenge. “We used fixtures from iLight under thebenches, which was our original specification for the steps at theOcean Fountain, as well,” says Maradudin. “<strong>The</strong> City <strong>of</strong> Anaheim,however, was concerned about the low-voltage lighting in the fountainsteps, which was less than 10 ft from the water.“ To light thesteps, LED linear fixtures with an IP rating <strong>of</strong> 68 were used. <strong>The</strong> Q-Tran transformers were placed in the enclosures in order to meetthe requirements.Fountain lighting fell to the water feature designer, but StudioK1organized the control <strong>of</strong> the fixtures, which are RGB LED. <strong>The</strong> entireproject is controlled by an ETC Mosaic DMX control system withthree universes <strong>of</strong> DMX and over 1,500 channels to control all <strong>of</strong> theingrade fixtures <strong>of</strong> the River <strong>of</strong> Light, the two fountains and their jets,and the entry monument. <strong>The</strong> controller also triggers relay panels toturn on and <strong>of</strong>f the pedestrian, roadway and landscape lighting. ■METRICS THAT MATTERAnaheim Grand PlazaWatts per sq ft: 0.1 (complies with ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 2010)Illuminance Level: approximately 2 fcFixture Types: 10 (plaza); 2 (parking area)THE DESIGNERSPeter Maradudin, IALD, Member IES (2006), isthe studio director at StudioK1, Irvine, CA.Kaitlin LeSage Crawford, Associate IALD, LC,Member IES (2010), is a lighting designer withStudioK1.www.ies.org LD+A | July 2013 37


BAY BRIDGESculpture bythe BayHow do you add 25,000 lightsto a bridge in a graceful notgarish manner? Just ask artistLeo VillarealBY PAUL TARRICONE38 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org


BAY BRIDGEPhotos: Lucas SaugenFor San Francisco’s Bay Bridge, the possibilities are endless—orpretty close to it. <strong>The</strong> bridge was recently outfittedwith 25,000 LED nodes, each with 255 different lightlevels. Do the math—that factors out to 6 million potentialcombinations, which should be enough for the two years that <strong>The</strong>Bay Lights will be on display. <strong>The</strong> Bay Lights is the result <strong>of</strong> a publicprivatepartnership involving organizer Illuminate the <strong>Art</strong>s, Caltransand the renowned artist Leo Villareal. Organizers predict that this“light sculpture” could ultimately be viewed by 50 million people.<strong>The</strong> $8 million privately funded installation went live in March.Villareal, who in recent years has become something <strong>of</strong> a rockstar in lighting circles, has made his mark by combining LED lightsand encoded computer programming to create illuminated displays.In the case <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Bay Lights, he was determined to wielda gentle brush: “When I first considered what could be done withthe Bay Bridge, I looked at the structure <strong>of</strong> the bridge and didn’twww.ies.org LD+A | July 2013 39


BAY BRIDGE<strong>The</strong> LED nodes (inset) are spaced 1 ft apart on the bridge cables, but when viewed from a distance, it appears as if there are solid lines <strong>of</strong> white light.want to add anything extra to it. I love the efficiency <strong>of</strong> the bridge.”Thus, his canvas for the illumination became the suspender cables.“<strong>The</strong> cables seemed like the ideal place to put lights. I knew I couldmake a grid <strong>of</strong> lights that I could then sequence. For me having theminimum impact on the bridge was very important.”Villareal called for 25,000 individual LED nodes (the eW Flex SLXproduct from Philips Color Kinetics) to be placed on the bridge’s300 vertical cables. <strong>The</strong> eW Flex SLX is a strand <strong>of</strong> individuallycontrollable white light LED nodes; the durable, flexible form factorallows dynamic points <strong>of</strong> white light to be installed across interioror exterior surfaces.Philips worked with Villareal to create custom spacing betweenthe nodes to accommodate his design. “We spaced thenodes 1 ft apart vertically. When viewed from a distance, it appearsas if there is a solid line <strong>of</strong> light and the in-between spacedisappears,” explains Villareal. “We did many tests to see whatbrightness and density would be necessary. We also tried variouslenses and ended up going with the flat clear lens which catches agood amount <strong>of</strong> light even when viewed at a 90 deg angle. Our goalwas to find a quality <strong>of</strong> light that was legible and could ‘read’ at adistance but not be aggressive in any way.”Essential to that non-aggressive design is the all-white palette.“Every bridge we’ve done prior to this has been RGB—which is tosay a color scheme,” says Phil O’Donnell, senior director, Philips.“To have a bridge in white is unusual and it’s trademark <strong>of</strong> Leo’s—the way he designs the animation, the sequencing, the method <strong>of</strong>control. This is unique on a bridge to have an artist-driven project.”Each night for seven hours, the 4,200K white LED lights (equalinga staggering 4.5 miles <strong>of</strong> product if the strands were laid out ina line) form patterns that dynamically recombine and move acrossthe bridge’s western span or slide up and down the supports. “Wechose the color temperature because it had a nice contrast to theexisting lights. <strong>The</strong> idea was to augment the structure <strong>of</strong> the bridgethrough the addition <strong>of</strong> another layer <strong>of</strong> light,” says Villareal.<strong>The</strong> Bay Lights installation measures 1.8 miles long and 500 fthigh at its tallest point. <strong>The</strong> suspended cables rest 30 ft apart. <strong>The</strong>length <strong>of</strong> the longest cable is 240 ft; the shortest, just 2 ft. <strong>The</strong> LEDsare expected to use 85 percent less energy than traditional lightingtechnologies. Over the course <strong>of</strong> one year, it will cost approximately$11,000 in energy to light the piece, which translates into $30 per40 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

Dedicated solar panels installedin Davis, CA by CleanPath will <strong>of</strong>fset the energy usedby the sculpture.Construction crews mounted the strands <strong>of</strong> LEDs on 300 cables, the tallest being 240 ft andthe shortest 2 ft.EVERY SHOW IS OPENING NIGHTBehind Villareal’s art are advanced controls. “Thisisn’t about just lighting another bridge with white orcolored light. <strong>The</strong> Bay Lights emphasizes the use <strong>of</strong>‘intelligent’ lighting, individual control and the ability tocreate 255 levels <strong>of</strong> brightness per node. <strong>The</strong> customs<strong>of</strong>tware allows for the creation <strong>of</strong> ever-changing patternsspecifically for this location,” says Villareal. Inshort, there are no “set” light shows. “<strong>The</strong> content isdynamically regenerated by the s<strong>of</strong>tware and does notrepeat the same progression <strong>of</strong> sequences. <strong>The</strong>re is noloop and no beginning, middle or end.”And with 6 million or so combinations—if you considereach individual node and its light level intensity—“thereare a huge amount <strong>of</strong> possible variations,”says Villareal. “Add to this an enormous variety <strong>of</strong>physical locations from which the piece can be seen,as well as all the environmental factors—time <strong>of</strong> day, atmosphericconditions, etc.—and it makes for an ever-changing canvas thatcontinues to repeatedly surprise viewers.”<strong>The</strong> only people who won’t be surprised are those driving on thebridge itself. While the lighting will be viewable from San Franciscoand points north, drivers crossing the bridge won't see thespectacle. ■METRICS THAT MATTERBay BridgeNumber <strong>of</strong> Cables: 300Number <strong>of</strong> LED Nodes on the Cables: 25,000Energy Use: 150-175 kWh; 7 hours <strong>of</strong> use per night<strong>The</strong> control system enables 255 levels <strong>of</strong> brightness per node, resulting inan almost infinite amount <strong>of</strong> light combinations on the bridge.THE DESIGNERLeo Villareal has permanent installations at the Museum <strong>of</strong> Modern<strong>Art</strong> in New York City, the National Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> in Washington,D.C., the Brooklyn Museum <strong>of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> and the Albright-Knox <strong>Art</strong>Gallery in Buffalo, NY.

HIGBEE BUILDING<strong>The</strong> color scheme transitions from amber towhite, and the footcandle level increases asthe façade lighting climbs the building.42 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org


HIGBEE BUILDINGDichotomy might be the best word to hang on the HigbeeBuilding in Cleveland. <strong>The</strong> building once housed a departmentstore <strong>of</strong> the same name that was featured in thefamily movie A Christmas Story, but today it’s anchored bysomething a bit more grown up—the Horseshoe Casino. It’s a locallandmark whose exterior had to be respected, but it also needs tostand out in an urban setting. It’s a building where lighting is criticalin creating drama, but where the light fixtures are effectively hidden.It’s a building that had to be visually striking from the outside,but not allow people to look inside. It has amber-colored light onthe lower floors and white light on the upper floors. And for a finalcontrast, the building had to accommodate both the view from a distanceand from up close.Tying these apparent contradictions into a cohesive package forCaesars Entertainment Corp. and Rock Gaming LLC was the designteam <strong>of</strong> project architect ka Architecture, design architect FriedmutterGroup and Farmington Hills, MI-based lighting designer <strong>Illuminating</strong>Concepts. Sonia Brown, senior designer for <strong>Illuminating</strong> Concepts,recalls the client’s checklist for the façade portion <strong>of</strong> the project: “Upscale,classic, exclusive, very clean and historic-minded,” she says.<strong>The</strong> building’s location at 100 Public Square in Cleveland dictatedmajor elements <strong>of</strong> the exterior lighting plan. <strong>The</strong> building is surroundedby other tall buildings and doesn’t have much <strong>of</strong> a setbackon the street. From a distance, people can get some “intriguingpeeks, but there are limited long views <strong>of</strong> the building,” says Brown,explaining that <strong>Illuminating</strong> Concepts’ mission was to entice peopleby creating more drama at a distance. At the sidewalk level, theobjective was to provide a sense <strong>of</strong> safety and security, and guidecasino patrons to destination points with stronger illumination.BEHIND THE CURTAINSWith the exception <strong>of</strong> outdoor signage, the façade for the firsttwo floors is lighted exclusively from the inside. <strong>The</strong> goal was to“use interior lighting to evoke an exterior experience,” says MichaelShulman, executive director design/business strategy at <strong>Illuminating</strong>Concepts. To mitigate views into the casino, sheers were hunginside the windows on the ground floor and grazed with 446 customizedamber LED wash lights (Traxon Technologies) at 2,200K to createwhat Brown calls “luminous window treatments.”Meanwhile, the signage lighting (exterior spotlights for awningsand flags) was specified at 3,000-3,500K. “We coordinatedthe color temperatures with the signage designer, so the signagelighting and the façade lighting would both pop against the façade,"says Brown. “<strong>The</strong> different lights play <strong>of</strong>f each other anddon’t compete against each other.”As the lighting moves up the façade from floors three though 12,the color temperature increases slightly, the light changes from amberto white and the illuminance level increases, as more light wasneeded on the upper floors to emphasize the 1930s’ architectureand to accommodate long-range viewing. <strong>Illuminating</strong> Conceptsselected Lumenpulse luminaires to light 849 linear ft <strong>of</strong> façade onall sides <strong>of</strong> the building. To emphasize the building’s ornamental details,a combination <strong>of</strong> 1-ft, 2-ft and 4-ft linear LED fixtures (2,700K)were mounted on top <strong>of</strong> the cornices on the 4 th and 9 th levels, and<strong>The</strong>re’s more to this local landmark’s façade lighting than meets the eyeBY PAUL TARRICONEPhotos: Scott PeaseHigh on Higbeewww.ies.org LD+A | July 2013 43

Because the Horseshoe Casino is located within acluster <strong>of</strong> high-rises, visors were used to minimize the glare to neighboringbuilding occupants. On-site and <strong>of</strong>f-site mock-ups were alsoconducted prior to the installation to address potential glare.siderations. <strong>The</strong> fixtures’ run distances and on-board drivers helpedminimize the impact on the building. “<strong>The</strong> low wattage <strong>of</strong> the fixturescombined with the ability to through-wire mitigated the need for additionalbuilding penetrations,” says Brown. “Penetrations were onlyat the mortar joints due to the sandstone.” ■METRICS THAT MATTERHorseshoe Casino at the Higbee BuildingLinear ft <strong>of</strong> façade lighted: 849Watts Used: façade = 20,060; exterior spotlights for awningsand fl ags = 1,840Number <strong>of</strong> Fixtures: 543HISTORIC CHALLENGESWorking on a historic building posed its own set <strong>of</strong> challenges. <strong>The</strong>chief concern, Brown notes, was how best to “conceal and integratemodern technology into a historic structure.” Building penetrationsfor power, mounting and the fixtures’ visibility were important con-THE DESIGNERSonia Brown is a senior designer with <strong>Illuminating</strong> Concepts,Farmington Hills, MI.44 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org

OUT OF THE ARCHIVEJuly1985» Lighting an Industrial Museum: <strong>The</strong> July 1985 issue <strong>of</strong> LD+A focused onindustrial applications and daylighting. <strong>The</strong> cover story addressed therenovation <strong>of</strong> the Sloss Furnace, Birmingham, AL, a major tourist attractionand evening stage/concert area. Lighting was integral, as designerswanted to emphasize the outdoor elements, while preserving a historicalsymbol <strong>of</strong> Alabama’s steel industry. To keep energy and maintenancecosts down, high-pressure sodium luminaires were used wherever possible.Flood, spotlights and high-bay industrial luminaires were also usedto illuminate the larger structures.» Make it a Double: A feature story on the Hiram Walker Whiskey BottlingHall, Dumbarton, Scotland, showed readers how artificial lighting anddaylighting allowed the company to facilitate four “special visual taskrequirements”: bottle filling, bottle capping, labeling and packaging.<strong>The</strong> lighting scheme ultimately produced twin lux levels <strong>of</strong> 307 lx at theworkplace and 688 lx at special task areas.Volume 15/No.7» Window <strong>of</strong> Opportunity: Back in 1985, much like today, lighting pr<strong>of</strong>essionalswrestled with both the energy question and occupant productivity/comfortwhen considering daylighting. In the article “Daylighting inAmerica,” contributor Ross McCluney gives some practical suggestionsfor proper usage <strong>of</strong> daylighting. He starts by pointing out designers whowish to use daylighting <strong>of</strong>ten “abandon it due to lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge orthe inaccessibility <strong>of</strong> methods for calculating economic performance.”Taking a more holistic approach, McCluney’s article addressed bothoccupant comfort and satisfaction, and energy performance, by focusingon something quite simple—windows. To help ease designers intodaylighting, he created some fenestration guidelines which focused onwindow design and placement.72 July 2013 | LD+A www.ies.org
