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)

The second in a series of articles on low pressure sodium lighting concentrates on its use in schools for safety and security lighting. (Author/MLF)

Shows how ducted air systems can be designed to provide a direct means of controlling and redistributing the heat generated by lighting fixtures. Suggests ways to achieve significant reductions in energy use and operating expense. (Author)

Suggestions for economical and effective lighting that will contribute to overall productivity are offered by a vice-president of Bloomingdale's. (LBH)

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)

Contains four reports on the latest developments in lighting, research and design, and a 10-item annotated energy bibliography. (Author)

Installation of a new metal halide lighting system at an old athletic high school stadium serving the Red Lion School District in Pennsylvania made night games possible. Community members raised funds for the installation. Because of increased attendance, the district made a $10,000 profit. Provides facts and figures on the stadium lighting. (MLF)

The installation of an area lighting tower combines increased security with economic savings at Kansas State University. (Author)

Presents some of the options in lighting design that meet illumination standards and conserve energy, but which are flexible. (Author/MF)

Discusses research undertaken to determine recommended levels of lighting for effective seeing. Factors considered include age, veiling reflections, brightness differences, glare, and pleasantness. Also points out some common lighting practices that are wasteful and inefficient and suggests alternatives. (DN)

A fundamental change in attitudes toward lighting can produce considerable reductions in the amount of electricity required to operate educational and other facilities. (Author)

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.…

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)
