Technical Assignment 1
The first Technical Assignment is a brief overview of the existing lighting systems in the New School of Business and Public Management on the George Washington University Campus. Including with the analysis of the lighting systems is a general overview of the luminaires, lighting controls, and power densities found with in the spaces. AGI was used to analysis existing conditions, and ASHRAE 90.1 standards and the IESNA lighting handbook was used to consulte design criteria. More information on this report can be found in the Executive Summary.

Technical Assignment 3
The third Technical Assignment is a lighting design proposal that will be presented to a panel of principles at Lutron on Tuesday, December 6th. This proposal contains further evaluations of the four spaces that will be redesigned for my presentation, and my ideas on what will be redesigned. My proposal was posted origionally on November 21st, but I did not have all the data necessary to complete the propsoal to my satisfaction. The proposal linked below in ppt and pdf format is the one that will be presented at Lutron.

Lutron Comments

I presented my lighting design proposal, the contents of my third Technial Assignment, to a panel of professional lighting designers on December 6th. In general, my lighting design was accepted, but my presentation was lacking. I credit a lot of this to the fact that I did not have a lot of time to practice my presentation, and that will be adjusted before I present my final project. I've provided a link below that will take you to the comments from the lighting designer panel.
