Technical Report 1 Download Technical Report 1 in PDF format (1.2 MB) This report describes and evaluates the lighting systems of New York Law School’s New Community Facility. For this analysis, four representative spaces were chosen based on their prominence, large size, and qualities typifying the rest of the facility. These spaces, in their order of analysis, are: Entry Lobby (Level 1) Auditorium (Level B1) Exterior/Interior Roof Terrace and Dining Area (Level 5) Library (Level B4) The analysis of each space is broken up into the following three sections: Existing Conditions Design Criteria Evaluation of Lighting System Information used for this report comes from 100% construction documents and not the as-built conditions. Currently under addendum reviews, the final design may not be totally consistent with the systems described in this report. The results of this report conclude that the lighting design meets design criteria in most cases, but some aspects could be improved. Computer files used in the analysis may be found on: My P drive (adk165) under P/Thesis/AGI/ This website, by following this link: (ZIP, 2.3 MB) Technical Report 2 Download Technical Report 2 in PDF format (440 KB) Download Appendix J: HID Ballast Specifications in PDF format (1.1 MB) Download Appendix L: Single Line Diagram in PDF format (510 KB) Download Appendix M: Riser Diagram (created by project engineers) in PDF format This report describes the electrical distribution systems of New York Law School’s New Community Facility. Located in downtown Manhattan, this new building seeks to consolidate the functions of various aging New York Law School structures. The building will house a library, auditoriums, dining areas, classrooms, administrative offices, and a large multi-purpose space. Construction is on schedule for the facility to be finished by August, 2008. Throughout this report, the loads and distribution equipment are examined in order to gain a better understanding of how the electrical network serves other key building systems. The electrical distribution system is analyzed from the utility company’s point of entry all the way to individual pieces of equipment. The findings show that the electrical system is fairly typical for a structure of its size in New York City. The calculations outlined in this report reveal that the distribution system is reasonably sized for the expected loads.

The ideas were presented to professional lighting designers at Lutron on December 13, 2007. The comments from those designers can be found in the Proposal.
