Reagan Country Café Design Concept Although the interior characteristics of this space take on a different theme than the others, it is important to continue a smooth transition from the café to the Multipurpose Room and to the exterior plaza. The balcony of the Multipurpose Room serves as seating for the café. The chandelier will be very visible in the café and the seating area. The square features of the luminaires used in the Mulitpurpose space are continued in the luminaire selection for the space. Semi-recessed square decorative downlights lead a customer around the egress path from entry to food selection to seating. The food displays and vertical menu boards are lit with a track system using halogen lamps for color rendering. Lensed troffers, specifically chosen for cleanliness, are hidden behind a dropped ceiling to provide a high horizontal illuminance to the cooking plane. Even though daylight provides a large amount of light to the seating area, it will be lit with decorative pendants with a square lampshade. The general properties of the shade are similar to the square shade of the chandelier in the Multipurpose Room to integrate both areas. Design Criteria Horizontal Illuminance: Dining - 20 fc (IES – 10 fc) Food Display – 40 fc (IES - 50 fc) Cash Register – 20 fc (IES - 30 fc) Food Preparation – 50 fc (IES – 50 fc) Selecting food and eating are the primary tasks performed in this area; therefore, it is important to provide the proper amount of light to the table and enough light to enhance the appearance of the food. There is also a checkout area with a cash register. Amply light must be provided to the keyboard for typing. Vertical Illuminance: Dining - 5 fc (IES – 3 fc) Food Display – 5 fc (IES – no recommendation) Cash Register - 3fc (IES – 3fc) Food Preparation – 3 fc (IES – 3 fc) Vertical illminance is not as important as horizontal illuminance, although a level of 3 to 5 fc should be provided for dinner conversation, food display, food preparation, and cash register. Daylight Integration: This space also has large windows along the seating areas for the visitor to enjoy the view of the mountains while eating. The windows are west facing, allowing direct light to penetrate into the space during the latter hours of the afternoon. Therefore, shades will be necessary for darkening during the late afternoon for comfortable dining. During the morning and early afternoon, the window can allow indirect daylighting into the space allowing for dimming and energy savings. Appearance of Space and Luminaires/Theme:

The architect wished for a country western theme with Ronald Reagan paraphernalia for this café. The appearance of the luminaires were carefully chosen to compliment the country theme. Reflected Glare: Shiny surfaces, such as glass and countertops, with a dark background were avoided to prevent reflected glare. Color Appearance: Color rendering can have an impact on the appearance of the food. Lamps with good color rendering were chosen to provide desirable food presentation. From an AE 597 experiment in the lighting lab, the low voltage tungsten lamp resulted in the best color rendering by students in the class. Direct Glare: Direct glare from the fixtures should also be avoided to prevent color washout* when viewing the food selections. Direct glare can also be an obstacle to employee comfort, productivity, and safety; therefore exposed lamps should not be used. *color washout – retina receives the direct light and puts a white layer over the color that you are looking at, therefore washing out the color and decreasing the saturation of the color – learned in AE 597 Dr. Moeck Light Distribution on Task Plane (Uniformity): The counters where the employees will be preparing food and displaying food required an even distribution along the horizontal surface. Unwanted shadows were avoided so the workers can see everything on the task plane. Cleanliness of Space: The kitchen and serving area should be a very clean for sanitary purposes. Gasketed, damp-labeled luminaires should be selected to allow easy cleaning and prevent dirt and grease from entering the luminaire. ASHREA/IESNA 90.1, 1999 Power Allowance:

Rendering

Conclusions The Country Cafe, though small in area, serves as pleasurable space for lighting design, with man of the decorative aspects directly related to the design of the Multipurpose Room. The integration of the Multipurpose Room and the Café is critical because these two rooms may be used simultaneously for the same group of visitors. The goal of integration was reached through the use of square geometry in fixture selection and the use of a chandelier shade component for dining booths that are larger in scale. Because of the variety of tasks performed in this space, including food preparation, food selection, menu display, facial rendering, and cash register functions, horizontal and vertical illuminance levels were necessary. All illuminance levels were met based on the criteria determined for each specific task. Low voltage halogen lamps were also use to enhance food presentations. Although this room was not connected to the dimming control panel, a user-friendly switching scheme was provided for lighting controls.
