60,000 sq/ft Interior Lighting

This public library serves as a community resource with a separate area for public meetings.  The overhead lighting was supplemented with integrated LED shelf lighting.  Iterative modeling found the optimal design solutions that met the visual demands of a multi-purpose library space. 

The lighting energy use was 15% better than code with daylighting control of the electric lighting to respond to abundant daylight from sawtooth skylights
