Introduction to AstroPower

Welcome to AstroPower!

AstroPower is one of the world’s fastest-growing solar electric power companies involved in many innovative new solar projects. Their headquarters in Newark,

Delaware, was constructed to creatively demonstrate AstroPower’s commitment to bringing the benefits of clean renewable energy to the environment.


Building Mission

¤ The mission of the building was to show their clients that their products are…

¤ Green design oriented

¤ Attractive to look at

¤ Easy to integrate into any building design

¤ Dependable

¤ Worth their cost in building energy savings


Building Functions

¤ The building serves several different functions:

¤ To serve as headquarters and main office for the AstroPower staff.

¤ To serve as a manufacturing plant for all AstroPower products.

¤ To showcase their product not only in showroom format, but by the actual building design elements.


Building Pictures

The building is situated so that the main façade faces south east,a Green Design guideline.

Building Pictures

The façade of the building is

covered with blue/green solar

cell panels as shown in the

picture


Building Pictures

¤ The interior of the building features an abundance of daylighting…


Lighting Design Theme

¤ The new lighting design theme will…

¤ Incorporate blue color to mimic the sky

¤ Accentuate the solar cells throughoutthe building

¤ Work with the natural daylighting thatcurrently exists


Introduction of Lighting Redesign Spaces

¤ Out of all the rooms and regions in the AstroPower Headquarters, five different areas were selected to redesign…

¤ An open office with work stations on the second floor

¤ A lunch room with a glass curtain wall on the first floor

¤ A conference room with a glass curtain wall on the first floor

¤ An impressive two-story lobby with atrium and skylight

¤ The building’s main entranceway


Open Office Area

¤ The open office is on the second floor, and features hexagonal work stations separated by partitions. It is bordered on the east by an open skylight and view to the first floor, and on the west a glass curtain wall.


Open Office Area

¤ The area of redesign is outlined below:

The focus area is shown above

Open Office Area

¤ The goals of the Lighting redesign are…

¤ To add color to the space to mimic the outdoors

¤ To have a higher level of control to conserve power

¤ To use more daylight uniformly throughout the work stations


Open Office Area

¤ To achieve these goals, the redesign concept will feature…

¤ Two hanging linear fluorescent pendants with blue LED lights per work station, similar to those shown below:

¤ Compact Fluorescent downlights down inbetween cubicles


Open Office Area

Lunch Room

¤ The Lunch Room is on the first floor right off the atrium style lobby. It features glass inlays to let light in from the lobby, along with a glass curtain wall along it’s south façade, allowing light to pour into the space.

¤ To have the walls stand out more using indirect lighting methods

¤ To use visually interesting luminaires above the tables


Lunch Room


¤ Fluorescent wall washers along the perimeter of all walls (excluding the glass façade) similar to the pictures below, but with blue tinting.

Similar to the designs shown here


Lunch Room

¤ To achieve these goals, the redesign concept also will feature…

¤ Pendant fixtures that hang over the table surfaces, similar to the ones shown below:

like these


Lunch Room

¤ To achieve these goals, the redesign concept also will feature…

¤ LED uplights along the curved wall, mirroring the glass curtain wall view outdoors

Similar to lights shown here

Conference Room

¤ The Conference Room is on the first floor right off the atrium style lobby. It features a trayed ceiling along with a glass façade along the south wall, allowing lots of natural daylight.

¤ To take advantage of the rooms architectural piece, the trayed ceiling


¤ To attract more attention to the walls by adding solar cells that will be illuminated from the new lighting scheme

¤ Fluorescent wall washers along the perimeter of all walls (excluding the glass façade) similar to the picture below but with a blue tint.

Design concept similar to scene showed here


Conference Room


¤ Fluorescent lamps hidden in a hollowed out trough in the center tray, providing an indirect, evenly distributed light source for the table, similar to the Lightscape rendering shown below

Lobby

¤ The Lobby is a two-story atrium-style space that features balconies, many downlights, and an enormous skylight over the center, allowing for natural daylight from dusk until dawn.

¤ To take advantage of the rooms architectural piece, the high ceiling and balconies by showing them off more

¤ To highlight the skylight

¤ To wash all the walls with light so that in the evenings it still feels as though it is daytime.


Lobby


¤ LED orientation luminaires around the balcony edges, similar to the picture below.

Concept similar to the ones shown here


Lobby


¤ Fluorescent uplights around the perimeter of the first and second floor walls, similar to the picture below:

Uplights that will draw attention

upwards, like the scenes

shown here


Lobby


¤ Replacing the Compact Fluorescent Downlights with HID Metal Hallide Downlights for brighter light beneath the dome so both levels will be lit adequately during evening hours.

Similar to the downlight pictured to the left

Front Entranceway

¤ The Front Entranceway is the main entrance to the building, featuring an enclosed vestibule, and a covered portion outside of the doors.


Front Entranceway¤ A Lightscape generated rendering of the area and how it exists is shown below:

Front Entranceway


¤ To make the solar cells inlaid in the glass façade stand out even during evening hours.

¤ To continue the blue theme outdoors as a reflective image from the dark sky above.

¤ To make the covered door area stand out more to draw people in at night time


Front Entranceway


¤ Uplight the façade with wall washers with blue or green interchangeable lenses, producing a look similar to the one shown below, but with a blue or green tint.

Wallwash similar to this but with blue or green tint


Front Entranceway


¤ Highlight the entranceway with a flood of lights, so that upon viewing the exterior from far away, it is no question as to where you should enter, as shown (in a much larger scale) below)

An entranceway that draws people

to it, like the design shown here

Adjustable Controls

¤ A criterion for selecting fixtures for the redesign will be that they have Digital Adjustable Ballasts, allowing the users to turn down certain fixtures when daylight is prevalent.

¤ This will conserve energy

¤ This will put all the fixtures on a self-control level

¤ This will tie in to the redesign of the telecommunications infrastructure.


A Look Back at the Goals…¤ After sharing some ideas, it is important to look back and see if the

goals stated for the redesign in the beginning were addressed.

¤ The new lighting theme will draw attention to the solar panels and show them off, attracting customers to their design, truly utilizing the building as a place to show off the product.

¤ The DALI ballasts will enable users to turn lights off when daylight is prevalent, thus enabling more natural daylight into the spaces.

¤ The lights on the exterior and around the balconies of the Lobby have the blue tone of the sky and the green tone of the earth, thus introducing an “earthy” atmosphere to the inside of the building that did not exist before.


Other Project Information

¤ Other areas not detailed in this proposal that will be integrated include:

¤ A detailed redesign of the telecommunications infrastructure.

¤ A full daylight analysis for the building throughout a year’s time.

¤ An attempt to get the building LEED certified by an in depth look at where improvements can be made.
