Anthony Your Design Journal entries this week should highlight your design thinking and process in modeling:
- Power system elements
Design Strategy: Locating receptacles 12 feet off center apart from each receptacles and connecting them to the panels by clustering them and had in a separate panel. For instance loosely couples the art gallery zone connected to one panel and conference/exhibition space to another panel.
[As an side] - with regards to, ceiling using a 2*2 for office space when they need connectivity. For a flexibility space like gallery art space, I utilized dry wall cell which gives it more prestige.
- Lighting system elements
Design Strategy: Recognizing balance and tradeoff of quantity (lume output, design (delivery of light), maintenance versus quality (light color, minimizing glare not least ability to distinguish colors). My strategy included electing linear due to the perimeter of the room such as the art gallery and recess lights whilst other programmed spaces on level 1 had 2*2 plain recess down lighting. For final submission, some programmable timers and occupancy/motion sensors will be included to ensure that turning lights off saves 100% of the energy input and also adhering to lighting standards & codes for lighting Power Densities
You can see Space Schedule satisfies the illuminating engineering society standards with regards to foot candles.
