Awards Harvest House Publishing Lighting Designer(s) Jim McCarty LC, Balzhiser and Hubbard Engineers Architects Project Owner Photography When steady growth prompted Harvest House Publishers to build a larger facility, minimizing energy use without compromising employees working environment was an essential goal. The 62,000 square-foot warehouse incorporates stocking, shipping and specialized activities. Row-mounted fluorescents on a suspended grid 12' AFF provide 55 footcandles of task light at the order-packing area. While warehouse operations run round-the-clock, individual stacks may experience long periods of inactivity. Occupancy sensors installed in the rows extinguish unneeded light - a strategy that helped to promote fluorescent lighting over a traditional HID highbay approach. 24,000-hour T8 lamps with 1.2 ballast-factor ballasts in task-focused industrial fixtures, modified for 10% uplight, solved this challenge with excellent vertical surface uniformity of 4:1 and 19 footcandles at the floor. LPD = .56 w/sf. The 39,000 sq. ft. two-story office building was developed with intent to remain budget conscious while providing a tasteful décor, utilizing simple daylighting approaches and contemporary lighting systems. Considering computer usage and individual preferences was a key element. A steel linear indirect system with T5HO lamping was utilized for private and open office areas, providing diffuse ambient illumination augmented with furniture-integrated task lighting. The T5HO luminaires provided superior distribution at the least cost. Dimming was considered in private offices, but budget restrictions limited controls to occupancy sensors alone. Basket-type recessed fixtures were used in interior workrooms for higher light levels. An ornate pendant luminaire illuminates the central staircase and serves as the background for the main lobby. Indirect cove-lighting softly illuminates the reception area, while downlight-wallwashers enhance the publications display. LPD = .79 w/sf.
