Notes on Electric Lighting, Vision, and Aging Eyes Fact Sheet

Important factors to consider when choosing lighting for older adults:

Initial cost

Installation cost

Energy cost

Location

Controls

Safety

Make sure to discuss a variety of topics with the electrician, including: accessibility of the controls, location of controls, types of dimmers, wheelchair height, exterior light controls.

Provide enough light, but avoid glare with the appropriate shades and lenses for the light fixtures.

Consider multiple types of lighting and avoid shadows. Trip hazards are much more dangerous for this age group. This can specifically be important at locations with changes in elevation and staircases.

Notes on Hospitality Coating Systems

Specifications can be selected based off of performance, budget, deadlines, and VOC requirements.

There are Interior Finishes, High Performance Finishes, and Exterior Finishes with sub categories to select from.

In addition, Sherwin Williams provides information about which finish will best fit specific areas such as Guest Rooms, Conference Rooms, Bathrooms, Maintenance and Laundry, and the balconies as well.

Sherwin Williams provides coating systems for walls, floors, roofs, and concrete surfaces – and therefore can essentially coat a building in its entirety. Onsite assistance and local service is a great service that Sherwin Williams provides as this means that they have one more step covered that the Project Manager does not need to hire in-house for when it is already being outsourced to Sherwin Williams completely.

A Custodian Report is available for detailing all products and colors used for future maintenance. This is beneficial as a record of all coatings will be on hand and can save time, money, and storage for future maintenance issues.

Illuminance = density of light received at a point on a surface, measured in fc or lx

Lux (lx) = the unit of illuminance in the International System of Units

Footcandles (fc or ft-c) = the unit measure of illuminance, originally defined as one standard candle burning

one foot from a given surface

Note that your light meter measures in FOOTCANDLES.

Lux to Footcandle Conversion (Approximate):

Multiply footcandles by 10 to get lux

a source, equal to one lumen per steradian, in candelas

Candlepower Curve = Luminous intensity distribution curve, depicts the amount of luminous intensity

generated in each direction by a light source in a plane trough the center of the source,

in candelas.

Footcandles = Candlepower/distance²

Notes on Art Lighting

In general, High Sensitivity to Light for Horizontal Surfaces should range from 25-100 Lux based on the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. Low Sensitivity shoudlrange from 100-400 and No Sensitivity should range from 500-2000. This is all based off of which age group for the Visual Observers are being applied to the space.

The most sensitive objects to light are works on paper, natural fabrics and those with fugitive dyes.

When using a light meter to measure the illuminance of a surface, it is important to note that it measures in Foot-candles and therefore needs to be converted to Lux. Approximately 1 footcandle is equivalent to 10 lux.

Landal Announces Visionvilla, a New Holiday Home for the Visually Impaired

Holidays parks chain offers special modifications to its bungalow and park

Leidschendam (March 31, 2011) –

Landal GreenParks announced the opening of Visonvilla today, the company’s first holiday home specially designed and equipped for guests with visual impairments visiting its park, Landal Landgoed ’t Loo. Tess Janssens, 14, an ambassador of the visual impairment charity, Oogfonds, and spokeperson of the ZieZo visual impairment fair 2011, was the first guest to receive keys to the modified bungalow from Bas Hoogland, commercial director of Landal GreenParks. Janseens, who’s affected by a progressive eye disease, will be experiencing the enhancements firsthand while staying in this new Landal-implimented accommodation with her family. At first glance, the Visionvilla appears to be very similar to other Landal holiday homes but for people with visual impairments the difference is phenomenal. Numerous adaptations have been introduced, not only in and around the bungalow but also in reception, the catering facilities and the swimming pool.

Collaboration "Visio, the center of expertise for the blind and visually impaired, came up with the idea for the development of this particular bungalow last year,” said Hoogland. “We have a long-standing relationship with the Comfortzorg organization, allowing us to offer homecare at our holiday locations, and this seemed like the logical next step. It also fits in very well with our Socially Involved Enterprise policy. We initiated a meeting with a group of experts including Visio, the Technische Unie, Gira and Viziris to explore the possibilities and identify suitable solutions for this kind of bungalow. The networking organization, Viziris, put together a consumer panel consisting of visually impaired people, with and without guide dogs, who tested out the bungalow and provided us with invaluable input to the design of the modifications. This was a really tremendous project to work on, and it has been an enormous pleasure to set about making Landal a great place for visually impaired people to stay."

Modifications The concept of contrast has been one of the important elements in the design and furnishing of the Visionvilla. The accommodation features a technically-advanced lighting system and modified equipment, including twilight lighting and a time switch. The garden is fenced off to cater for any visiting guide dogs. Indoors the Visionvilla features dimming light fittings, a plastic dog basket, a supersized tactile house number in a contrasting color, a large flatscreen TV and an easy-to-operate radio. The alarm clock has a giant display and contrasting control buttons, volume switch and speech button. In the kitchen is a gas range with a thermocouple, which cuts off the gas supply if the burners are extinguished. The PenFriend talking label reader and the Visionvilla Games Compendium are an added amenity that should guarantee plenty of fun.

All the essential information visitors will need during their stay is available in Braille and in large print, including the menus and the local information.

For further information about the Landal Visionvilla go to: www.landal.nl/visionvilla. The information on the Web site is also available in spoken form [dutch]. Further information about Visio, the center of expertise for the blind and visually impaired, is available from www.visio.org.

Precedent Study – Lighting Design Projects

MONDO arc; pages 67-72

Perot Museum of Nature & Science, Dallas, USA –

This building was being designed while LED lighting technology was still being developed, so the designers planned for metal halide and fluorescent options but left room for LED substitutions. In the museum lobby, exposed bands of light above the metal mesh ceiling are intentionally dispersed to welcome a sense of playfulness. These lights create movement to promote circulation while denser fields of luminaires are clustered towards focal areas that require higher light levels. Edison Price Lighting modified ‘Spredlite’ with 39W MH PAR30 3000K was used to wallgraze the atrium, while Neo-Ray Lighting ‘Straight & Narrow’ 3000K was also used in the lobby alongside a 45W 5000K LED light line for the escalator. When viewing the Perot Museum externally, it is apparent that the lobby and atrium area have a warm light glowing from within while the prominent escalator has a cool light highlighting it. The purpose of this was to accent the museum’s dynamic spatial juxtapositions and creative use of materials. In other parts of the museum, luminous lights lead visitors through transition zones, while light and shadow articulate architectural focal points. This way-finding system is penetrated by the escalators, bridges, and stairways with their dramatic appearance due to the much cooler lighting. The atrium walls and facades are evenly lit to express their spatial volume and provide visual anchor points for key spaces.

Staircases are required to provide lighting for emergencyegress. Lighting typically remains on at full output year-round despite very low occupancy patterns. The Occu-smart® luminaire was developed to help high-risefacilities save energy in staircases while maintainingappropriate lighting conditions for safety. Occu-smartuses a built-in occupancy sensor to automatically dimlamps to a standby level to save energy when thespace is unoccupied.

Application ProfileRivercross is a high-rise residential complex locatedon Roosevelt Island, in the East River between NewYork City boroughs of Manhattan and Queens. Thecomplex is composed of three towers, each with sepa-rate egress staircases. The staircases are straight run,with no mid-floor landing. DELTA evaluated the lightingbefore and after retrofit of 182 luminaires at Rivercross.DELTA also evaluated a commercial installation of similarscale in Manhattan, which resulted in comparable energysavings (see reverse).

Lighting Objectives• Reduce energy use when staircase is unoccupied• Increase illuminance in staircase

Lighting FeaturesThe luminaires at Rivercross remain at one-third of full lightoutput when stairs are unoccupied. An integral ultrasonicoccupancy sensor turns lights up to full output when aperson enters the staircase. Be-cause each luminaire has its ownoccupancy sensor, only luminairesin the immediate area are turned onwhen residents enter the staircase.

Luminaires, Lamps,and BallastsThe previous luminaire type usedtwo T12ES linear fluorescent lampswith an electronic ballast (60 W).Lamps were recessed within thehousing, and the lens was flat.Distribution of the previous lightingwas primarily downward (see insetabove).

The new Occu-smart luminaire operates two T8 linear fluo-rescent lamps with an electronic bi-level ballast (62 W full,28 W standby; see reverse for other options). The luminairehas a wrap-around diffuser, which emits light at high angles(above 90° from vertical). At Rivercross this distributionallows light to penetrate deep into the staircase, nearlyreaching the top stair (see photo, left). The Occu-smartprovides higher illuminances inthe staircase and exceeds theminimum code requirements of11 lux (1 footcandle) along thepath of egress, even whendimmed to standby level (seedrawing on reverse).

Residents have noticed theincreased illuminances in the staircases. Building opera-tions personnel have reassured residents that the lightingsystem uses less energy. Both the previous and the newluminaires feature emergency battery packs.

Notes:

• DELTA assumes lamp output and ballastwattage to be those reported byluminaire/ballast manufacturers. DELTAhas not verified all operating wattages.

• Single-lamp configuration not acceptableto Rivercross.

• Other sites may have higher or lowersavings depending on previousconditions and occupancy percentages.

Illuminance and EnergyThe new luminaires have increased illuminances without sacrificing energysavings. At Rivercross, use of occupancy sensors resulted in a 53% energysavings, or 50,300 kWh annually. Occupancy in the staircases at Rivercross wasmeasured to be less than 2%. As a result, the ballasts are operating at thestandby level (28 W) 98% of the time. A commercial site evaluated by DELTAshowed similar occupancy rates in the staircases. Other installations could showlower or higher energy savings depending on previous conditions, occupancyrates, and Occu-smart standby levels (see “Energy savings comparison” above).
