Interior Design Instructor Wins Award in National Cooper Lighting Design Competition
Summary
“This 6th floor space has an extensive west (and also south) exposure, and offered the significant environmental challenges of controlling heat and glare while providing maximum exterior views and natural daylight to offset costly artificial lighting, and of providing occupants with maximum control over their micro-environment, including lighting and HVAC,” said Merle.The design solution involved a raised-floor system incorporating power and HVAC to maximize air circulation efficiency and overall flexibility, high performance Cooper Lighting fixtures providing direct, direct/indirect, ambient, decorative, pendant, and task lighting, Lutron’s EcoSystem controls to balance daylight and artificial light, and motorized Lutron solar window shades on rollers set to a Grafik GS scheduling system, providing protection from solar heat and glare as needed, without sacrificing exterior views.The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale is approved for the training of veterans and eligible veterans’ dependents and is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students.### Ft.
