Project Highlights

Advanced Lighting Guidelines

An award winning handbook that explains advanced technologies for: lighting design practice; computer-aided lighting, luminaires and lighting systems; energy-efficient and electronic ballasts; full-size fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, conventional shape tungsten halogen lamps, and compact metal halide and white high-pressure sodium lamps. The guidelines were originally prepared for the California Energy Commission in 1990, but were updated in 1993 with the support of the CEC, U.S. Department of Energy, and the Electric Power Research Institute.

90.1 Code Manual

A user's guide for the code version of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1R, a nonresidential energy standard being adopted by many U.S. states. The manual contains case study buildings, compliance forms, tables of precalculated U-factors, worked examples and a general explanation of the requirements of the code. The manual is supported by slides and other training materials. (1995)

Lighting Fundamentals Handbook

A comprehensive handbook for utility personnel that provides basic information on lighting principles, lighting equipment and other considerations relating to lighting design.

I.D.E.A.S. Guidelines

Innovative Design and Energy Analysis Service guidelines and fact sheets that address all the important energy conservation opportunities (ECO's) for new commercial buildings in San Jose in the area of building envelope, lighting and mechanical design. The ECO's are ranked in a matrix for each building type so that users can easily find those that apply to their project.(1991)
