LightingMaximizing the use of natural daylight is one of the simplest forms of energy management. Zoetica’s space was designed to maximize the use of daylight. More than 90% of the space (even isolated spaces such as storage rooms) are exposed to daylight from uncovered windows that already existed and skylights that have been added. With the minor addition of 10 CFL sconces in the interior - LCS Series/ American Fluorescent, LED lighting has been used almost exclusively throughout Zoetica: Color changing, cove lighting by Tokistar; Downlight by Permlight and Gallium Lighting; Undershelving and under counter lighting, as well as single color, cove lighting - Tetra LED System by GE; and outside wall washers by BL LED. The LED lighting choice, alone, has been calculated to save approximately 88% of current and future energy and expenses over incandescent lighting. It is extremely unique to use LED lighting exclusively in any building, because the application and choice of this technology is very new and expensive. Product availability is simply not there. Design options are few. LED lighting is just at the initial stages of being considered for common usage. The interior design of Zoetica was actually organized specifically to accommodate LED usage. The main objective was to take advantage of the high-energy efficiency of LED lighting - the most energy efficiency on the market and,at the same time, to prove its esthetic appeal as well. |
