Lighting Design Basics
Lighting is a basic, yet difficult-to-master, element of interior design, and Lighting Design Basics provides the information you need in a concise, highly visual format. Two leading designers, both with decades of experience, offer straightforward coverage of concepts and techniques, and present realistic goals you can use as guides to creating simple, typical lighting designs and when collaborating with professional designers on more complex projects. Design scenarios for more than twenty different spaces illustrate real-world case studies for illuminating residential and commercial spaces, from kitchens to doctors' offices. Each scenario includes an in-depth rationale for the proposed solution, insightful lighting distribution diagrams, floor plans, and details for lighting installation and construction. In addition, exercises allow you to develop lighting design skills in preparation for working on actual projects, as well as the NCIDQ and NCARB exams. Packed with informative illustrations, Lighting Design Basics is an invaluable resource for students, as well as interior designers and architects studying for professional licensing exams.

Site Development Planning for Energy Management
This handbook assists DOE facilities managers, planners, and engineers in identifying and providing information for effective application of energy management strategies in site development decision making. The handbook does not take an advocacy position regarding any particular strategy but presents each, along with its anticipated benefits and liabilities, as an option for consideration. Areas where uncertainty exists regarding the likely energy performance are noted. The strategies identified in this handbook are not equally effective, simple to use or implement, or desirable for all installations. Therefore, they should be considered in light of local needs and opportunities to determine which strategies are most appropriate to a specific installation and what modifications to those strategies might be necessary.
