Crane, H. Richard – Physics Teacher, 1996
Describes the construction of a new lighting system that uses a sulfur light source no bigger than a golf ball that emits enough light for an entire large room. Discusses the theory behind the system. (JRH)
Descriptors: Light, Lighting, Lighting Design, Physics
American School and University, 1983
A new lighting system at a Wisconsin elementary school involved replacing all the incandescent fixtures with either fluorescent, mercury vapor, or high-output fixtures. Group lamp replacement procedures instead of spot relamping are expected to save labor costs. (MLF)

Meyers, Alan R. – American School and University, 1979
How to reduce energy use while improving the quality of your lighting. (Author)
Descriptors: Efficiency, Elementary Secondary Education, Energy Conservation, Higher Education

Waters, Bradley A.; Winters, Willis C. – Library Trends, 1987
Begins with an overview of the basic principles of light and light sources currently utilized in building design. Case studies of several successfully lit library buildings are presented and specific recommendations for the various functional requirements of a library are provided. (15 references) (MES)

Estes, R. C. – School Business Affairs, 1984
A Houston, Texas, school district has found that indirect lighting fixtures combined with skylights lower energy bills and provide softer, more natural lighting. A principal feels the softer light may have a calming effect on students' behavior. (MLF)

Illuminating Engineering Society, New York, NY. – 2000
The aims of this document are: (1) to enable school and college administrators to brief their architects on appropriate provision of lighting, and (2) to enable lighting designers to check that the criteria they apply are consistent with good current practice. The scope is restricted to learning and study activities and associated circulation.…

Papa-Lewis, Rosemary; Cornell, Charles E. – School Business Affairs, 1987
The same form of lighting will not be effective in all areas of a school facility. Factors to be considered include physical and psychological effects, visual requirements, and cost. A chart illustrates type of lamp, output/energy ratio, light "quality," and applications. (MLF)

Parker-Jenkins, Marie; Parker-Jenkins, William – School Science Review, 1985
Provides information to identify and implement the key characteristics which contribute to an efficient and comfortable visual display unit (VDU) lighting installation. Areas addressed include VDU lighting requirements, glare, lighting controls, VDU environment, lighting retrofit, optical filters, and lighting recommendations. A checklist to…

Frier, John P. – School Business Affairs, 1991
Replacing an outdated sports field lighting system with new equipment can increase safety and save energy and maintenance dollars. Provides guidelines, based on current industry recommendations and using metal halide lamps, for updating field lighting or evaluating a proposal for new field lighting. (MLF)
Descriptors: Athletic Fields, Educational Facilities Improvement, Electrical Systems, Elementary Secondary Education
Crookham, Joe P. – Parks and Recreation, 1982
Guidelines for planning the lighting facilities for recreational and other athletic fields are presented (a softball field is used for an example). Guidelines are given for determining (1) lighting needs and levels of uniformity; (2) lamp choice; (3) structural requirements; (4) operating and maintenance costs; and (5) financing options. (PP)

Berridge, Robert; Kwartin, Bruce – Business Officer, 1992
An Environmental Protection Agency program encourages energy conservation on campuses by consulting with colleges and universities willing to reduce energy used in lighting. Full program implementation in these and other organizations can create significant savings in demand for electricity and help fight global warming and acid rain. (MSE)
