Controls, Landscaping and Electrical Light

Through trial and error, I have found that it is very difficult for daylight to flawlessly light a building. In some areas there is too much, while in other places there is too little. In order to solve this, different strategies have to be implemented.

In areas where I found the daylight factor to be too low, I placed electrical light. My electrical lighting strategy is having a surfaced mounter linear fixture placed within the light shelf. There will also be toe-kick lighting around the seating area.

For proper control of the system, I have created a control for the electrical light that will help maintain the light for a proper circadian rhythm. Users will also be able to control the louver system.

In order to keep excess light out, I have implemented a landscaping strategy that will block out the daylight on the North and South facades.
