We will illustrate the extent by which time-proven, off-the-shelf items can be employed to develop an energy conservative interior lighting system with low overall life cycle costs. The simple provision of adequate lighting at relatively low levels of energy consumption is no longer a technical problem as it was only a few years back. The challenge facing us today is to provide quality and control of lighting with attendant reductions in power consumption. Particular techniques emphasized will include the use of highly efficient lamp types, and control of lighting with automatic dimming. The intent of all of these techniques is the reduction of energy used by, and life cycle cost attributable to interior lighting systems. 1. For conventional overhead lighting, 2 foot by 4 foot grid troffers, whether static, nonair handling or dynamic air handling, mounted, fluorescent lighting fixtures, surface or pendent, the following design alternatives are listed and considered; A.
