A new white paper by the Institute for Electric Effi ciency shows that utilities and their customers can expect positive net benefi ts from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) investment over the next 20 years. For a service area of 1 million households, IEE found that the total cost for a utility to invest in AMI and associated home energy management technologies will range from $198 million to $272 million. The AMI investment will produce operational savings between $77 million and $208 million, and customer-driven savings between $100 million and $150 million.

Using both local electric generation and waste heat with combined heat and power is a mechanical engineer’s nirvana. Finding a way to balance an electric host, like lighting, with an equal host for steam, like domestic hot water, will offset peak demand and reduce cost in half. We’ll also have to adopt a measure that industrial facilities have been using for years, which is to employ controls that delay the onset of certain electric loads to times when utility rates are off-peak, and we all will have to participate in utility demand response programs to avoid rolling blackouts. The “Brave New White World” we are facing may be an anathema to architects and interior designers, but we have to brighten the future for mechanical engi- neers, who have been stuck with the same HVAC designs for decades.

One extraordinarily useful tool that was introduced at this summit was the Lighting Education Wiki (https://pldaeducation.wiki- spaces.com/). Like any Wiki, this site will serve as an information cooperative that is editable, expandable and serves as a valu- able resource for lighting educators world- wide. Finally, there’s an Internet-based tool that allows the lighting education commu- nity to share its knowledge and resources. I guess next we will have an app for that.

It had 21 participants who were taught by nine light- ing educators and industry professionals (mentioned in my last article) and included two guest instructors, Keith Yancey of Lam Partners and myself.

Lighting has grown up as an out- come of the electrification of our nation into a multi-billion dollar industry. Lighting design started as a modernist craft to enhance architecture, and has grown into a multi- faceted essential building system. But it is at the nexus of art and science, engineering and craft that lighting education can grow our industry into an established profession. The Lighting Educator Summit, the Teachers of Lighting Workshop and the LIGHTFAIR Student Outreach program are heartening signs that this industry is growing up, and willing to take decisive steps to cultivate the next generation of lighting professionals. “Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unself- ish, and someday you will be a real boy.” — Pinocchio (Walt Disney Studios, 1940)

andarin, Tagalog, Spanish and Samoan—these are just a few of the languages you might hear on any given day at Sound Transit’s new Link light rail sta- M tion in Tukwila, WA, a Seattle suburb that boasts one of the state’s most culturally diverse populations. “A good number of these riders don’t speak or read English. But even if you can’t read English, you can fi nd your way,” says Susan June Olson, principal of the Seattle fi rm Light by Radiance, which designed the lighting for four stations along the new light rail sys- tem’s 13.9-mile Central Link, including the 100,000-sq ft Tukwila International Boulevard Station. That’s because the station uses a language all cultures understand: light. In both the exterior and interior of the station, the lighting systems serve as wayfi nding devices that direct patrons to and from vital areas of the com- plex—the parking lot, connecting transportation pick-up and drop-off points, and ticket windows. The lighting also meets the needs of Sound Transit, the region- al agency that owns and operates the light rail system. Primary among its concerns was creating stations that were safe, highly energy effi cient and easy to maintain. Olson addressed these ob- jectives by producing light fi xture standards, which outline the lamp and fi xture types to be used in all light rail stations. Though they were created in 1999, the standards comply with the state’s contemporary energy code—which mandates an LPD of 1.0 watt per sq ft or less—without using today’s technology du jour: LEDs. Instead, Olson selected pulse-start metal halide as the primary lamp type for both exterior and interior lighting. At Tukwila, 3,200K pulse-start metal halide was used for all outdoor and ground-fl oor lighting and the majority of the interior lighting due to its energy effi ciency and color-rendering properties. “A lot of transportation projects use high-pressure sodium for effi ciency, but the color ren- dering isn’t great,” says Olson. Given the area’s diverse population, Olson wanted a source that would properly render a range of skin tones, which “is an incredibly important element in identifying indi- viduals, as well as rendering them on the security cameras.” Designed to the agency’s light fi xture standards in 2003, the $35 million Tukwila station opened in 2009 and received three Photos: Sternstein Photography IES Illumination Awards of Merit in 2010: the Waterbury Award for Outdoor Lighting Design, the Guth Award for Interior Lighting Design and the Energy and Environmental Design Award.

The interior lighting is also notable for what it doesn’t use. Dur- ing the day, photocells installed on each of the three levels turn the electric sources off when there is suffi cient natural light. Designed to consume 0.56 watts per sq ft with the lights on, the interior actu- ally uses far less thanks to copious daylighting, an achievement that earned it a $45,000 rebate from the local utility, Seattle City Light. ■

The building in question is an historic steam train roundhouse used for repairing and housing locomotives. Today, a new circle has taken shape, as the roundhouse has been transformed from an urban eyesore into a vibrant retail center/railroad museum. And for good measure, one more circle has been added to provide the fi nishing touch: new façade lighting on the roundhouse that cleverly evokes the wheel of a steam train—spokes and all. That lighting of the 82-year-old building by Deborah Gottesman, Gottesman Associates, Toronto, packs all the visual impact of, well, a perfectly placed roundhouse

Gottesman’s design, which earned a 2011 IES Illumination Award of Merit, also includes the lighting of four historic buildings, which were moved to the site to create the museum, the walk- ways surrounding these buildings, railway artifacts such as tracks and steam trains, and an old coal and sanding tower. Sensitive to how the roundhouse and the other structures would mesh with the urban fabric, Gottesman says the project team didn’t want lighting that was “garish or too attention getting. We didn’t want to blow it up; it had to be elegant and subdued.” The historic nature of the site demanded such subtlety. Built in 1929 by Canadian Pacifi c Railway, the John Street Roundhouse was in continuous service until 1988, able to service over 60 engines and train cars a day. Its central steam plant and 120-ft turntable allowed engines to be moved without fi ring them up. The 100,000-sq ft roundhouse has 32 engine repair bays and was unique for its time in its use of daylighting: continuous clerestory windows extend along both sides of each repair bay. In 1991, the roundhouse was designated a Federal Heritage Building. Today, it’s not steam trains being serviced but the general pub- lic. Three tenants occupy the refurbished roundhouse: a brewery/ bar; a furniture retailer that caters to the downtown condo mar- ket; and the railway museum. With the site located in the heart of downtown, next to the Rog- ers Centre, home of Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays, the goal was “to give the site a presence at night,” says Gottesman. However, this had to be accomplished without poles or any other structural manifestation of lighting. “There were existing pathways When the roundhouse doors are closed, the in-ground LED luminaires fi xtures built into wood poles (inset, left), which cast light away from the within the site so for liability reasons, there were to be no poles and nothing people could play with, trip over or climb on,” says Gottes- suggest the wheel.

Punctuating the northern façade, an air chamber is illuminated by RGB LEDs. The magenta LEDs incorporate 50 percent of the two static façade colors—the blue that lights the architectural skins on the other three façades and the red that washes the roof overhang. Inside the chamber (left), light is refl ected off of the glass.

The “void” is represented by an eight-story recession in one of the tower’s four sides. The nega- tive corner was then fi lled with light, us- ing only one high-output LED fl oodlight to uplight the void. A warm-white color was selected “to keep it neutral. We wanted to distinguish that element and to identify it as its own form, but we didn’t want to in- troduce another color to the façade light- ing scheme,” explains Neal. At the base of the tower is the two- story lobby. Here, white LEDs reveal a colorful architectural element—translu- cent red glass panels that line the lobby wall.

While this approach seems prudent, quite a few municipal specifi ers that I’ve spoken with share the frustration of not ending up with the product(s) they want- ed, even after some comprehensive re- search prior to issuing their RFP.

One reason for this is that it is very diffi - Shall cult to identify three LED luminaires that are truly equal, particularly when it comes to decorative street lighting. More so than other bid items, outdoor street lighting is a complex landscape of Remain variables that is very diffi cult to navigate. While announcing the results of last year’s Next Generation Luminaires competition at the Strategies in Light conference, the Nameless judges shared that next year’s competition might not include outdoor street lighting products, due to the inherent diffi culty in judging that particular family of luminaires. This diffi culty is what leads to the prob- lem of constructing a proper RFP. What of- ten happens is that the specifi er (municipal An RFP with a performance specifi cation—rather employee or contract engineer) will gather than the commonly used three-name spec—can help education on various LED products and technologies.

» Up in the Air: The main article in this wide-ranging theme issue on “air- ports, aeronautics and astronautics” was a comprehensive eight-page story on the new $250 million Kansas City International Airport. “By 1980, the airport is expected to handle 10 million passengers and 800 million tons of cargo a year.” The article dissected the indoor and outdoor lighting used for the parking lots, roadways and terminal, all the way down to the aircraft parking apron. Outdoor fi xtures on the market at that time were not viable for the project, so custom units fi tted with mercury lamps were installed on the roads and parking lots. Mercury vapor fi xtures were also deployed on parking lot stairways and walkways. The centerpiece of the project, though, was the 6,000 custom rectangular luminaires enclosed in coffers that were used to highlight the terminal’s roof structure and fl ood the building with light. Metal halide lamps (175-W) were the solution here.

» Incandescent on the Ropes: For all of today’s nostalgic talk of “Edison’s miracle,” lighting professionals were phasing out the incandescent bulb as far back as 1973. The article “Relighting a Hangar”—one of the aeronautic theme stories in this issue—described how the Minnesota Air National Guard’s maintenance hangar transitioned from a 5-10 foot- Volume 3/ No.9 candle mercury and incandescent system to a 1,000-W high-pressure sodium layout offering 100-plus fc using the same grid spacing. LD+A’s “In Focus” section chronicled the relighting of the 570-ft- high San Jacinto Monument (“the world’s tallest masonry column”). An “obsolete pole-mounted incandescent layout” was jettisoned in favor of metal halide fl oodlighting to accentuate the spire’s fossilized buff limestone surface.

» Homespun Yarn: What’s true in 2011 was true in 1973: Home builders often don’t give lighting enough attention. Hoping to remedy this, mem- bers of the IES Residence Lighting Committee traveled to Atlanta, GA, to exchange ideas with home builders and Georgia Power Co. personnel. Each of the three builders requested “comments and criticism” from committee members concerning the lighting used in their respective projects. One builder remarked, “Today, I suddenly discovered there is a whole group of people who specialize in this fi eld.”
