LINKS
NavigationData path visualization from Warriors of the Net, a film.
Each
passing year, and they have been relatively few since the Internet
began, finds remarkable growth in
the information available via the WWW. This page will build a collection
of links to WWW-based resources on daylighting, model building,
photometrics, photography, and related topics. It is always a good
idea to ask yourself the question " with what voice does this
WWW site speak?" Is it a trustworthy source, or one prone to
self interest or skewed views? And please don't let the immediacy of
the WWW divert you from the fine resources available in print.
If you have suggestions for additions to this list just add them (if you are an Arch. 245 student) or e-mail me the URL.
Daylighting
A nice collection of daylighting articles from Architectural Lighting Design including brief papers by Barbara Erwine (former Arch. 140 GSI and daylighting consultant), Evan Mills of LBNL, Norbert Lechner, and even a (somewhat turgid) paper by a then Assistant Professor Benton.
Our friendly neighborhood National Lab provides an online Tips for Daylighting document. LBNL and its Windows and Daylighting Group have been the principal locus of US daylighting research since the 1970s.
Model Building
The Pacific Energy Center offers a daylight model building / testing factsheet.
Norbert Lechner put together a brief introduction to daylighting models for Architectural Lighting Magazine (it is illustrated with model shots from a course I taught at Georgia Tech.)
Photometry
The Pacific
Energy Center maintains a remarkable Tool
Lending Library that provides Bay Area building professionals
(that's you) with free access to an array of handheld and
recording measurement instruments. The Tool Lending Library,
staffed by former Arch. 140 GSI Ryan Stroupe, developed from early
scheming on the Vital Signs Toolkit Program.
While talking about the Pacific Energy Center I should mention its Daylighting Initiative, a market transformation project once headed by George Loisos. Here's a pop-up question: take a look at the Daylighting in Schools project commissioned by PG&E and conducted by the Heschong Malone Group. Are you convinced by this endorsement of daylighting potential? Talk to me about it.
