DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANDERSEN LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE WAL-MART ENVIRONMENTAL DEMONSTRATION STORE

摘要

This paper reports the process and methodology the Andersen Corporation used to develop and evaluate daylighting systems for a Wal-Mart environmental demonstration store. Evaluation and development of these systems took into account the resultant energy performance, light quality and aesthetics. Ultimately, the four lighting scenarios listed below were simulated in the DOE2.1D Energy Analysis Program in order to compare energy performance: 1. Electrical lighting and standard plastic bubble skylights; 2. Electrical lighting and Andersen Lighthouses with a linear optical lens-, 3. Electrical lighting and Andersen Lighthouses with a radial optical lens-, 4. Electrical lighting only.
