30 Summary + Conclusions Summary Stephanie Romanias 30 Electrical: Photovotaic Array Able to integrate a useful renewable energy source at a minimal payback with the help of government incentives. Lighting: Reinforce the architect s vision while also creating an energy efficient design that adheres AHSHRAE 90.1, IESNA, and the Dark Skies Association. Architectual/Acoustical: Auditorium Redesign Minimalistically, create a focal point by framing the front of the space without compromising sound quality Daylighting: South Facing Open Office Potential to generate energy saving based on closed loop dimming control and automated shade control
