- Assessment
of Effectiveness by Pod
In all cases, the least effective component to achieve optimal light levels for reading and writing was deemed to be the occupancy sensors. In the north and south pods, exterior windows were the most effective component; in the west, it was the interior clerestory windows.
- Assessment
of Effectiveness by Pod and Window Orientation
Again, all orientations ranked the occupancy sensor as rather ineffective in contributing to ideal lighting conditions, and north and south orientations favored the exterior windows. The south pod with west window orientation noted operable blinds as effective in achieving good lighting conditions. The west pod ranked solar tubes and internal clerestory windows as most effective.
- Assessment
of Effectiveness by Window Orientation
The northern and southern exterior windows were reported to be the most effectivein attaining good lighting conditions. Again, occupancy sensors were considered relatively ineffective across the board.
