To understand the importance of the influence of effective lighting on learning patterns, we need to understand what effective lighting means. (Author/MLF)

This course guide in highway lighting includes an overview of trends in highway lighting, illustrated information on three light sources for today's luminaires, a reference guide to lamp classification, specifications for highway lighting equipment, and instructions for calculating appropriate use. Maintenance notes on highway illumination and…

Natural light and low lighting levels with individual task level lamps contribute to a low energy use at the Sawyer Library. (Author/MLF)

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)

How to reduce energy use while improving the quality of your lighting. (Author)

This report shows that while sustainability efforts appear to be growing within collegiate athletics, commitment to sustainability is lower among athletic departments than compared to their institutions as a whole and to professional sports teams. The survey was distributed to the 119 athletic departments at National Collegiate Athletic…

Students in every nation of the world learn new and difficult material in ways that are often similar and, at the same time, different from the way other students of the same age, gender, race, religion, culture, and nationality prefer to learn. The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the preferred learning-style characteristics of…

This article describes a laboratory experiment that allows the students to investigate the radiative properties of the green and red emitting phosphors that are employed in commercial fluorescent lamps. Making use of a spectrofluorometer, students first record the emission spectrum of a fluorescent lamp under normal operating conditions, and then…

Providing high visibility and saving energy at the same time can be accomplished, as the design of these new school buildings proves. (Author)

This glossary was developed to provide the layman with a working vocabulary in the areas of film, television, lighting, and sound/slide presentations. Definitions are given for both technical terms and jargon words. (EMH)

The new energy consciousness has led to a thorough reevaluation of how artificial lighting can be used wisely, while other researchers have explored the potential of daylighting as an alternative interior light source. (Author/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)

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)

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)
