- Abstract
- The report describes the experimental plan for the investigation of the interaction of lighting and HVAC systems, including the purpose and scope of the research, the test facility and instrumentation system, and the data collection and analysis procedures. The research focuses on the relationship between lighting system design and performance, room design, and HVAC system design for typical office-type construction. A test facility will be constructed and instrumented to enable variation of lighting room and HVAC design. Testing will be performed for various configurations. The results will be used to develop design guidelines and modeling procedures, particularly for incorporation into building energy analysis computer programs.
