For my assignment on the lighting design course, I’ve spent a working week at my brother’s office to observe how people use lighting (both natural and electrical). I feel that natural daylight is often under-utilized. In the open office, fifteen 36W florescent tubes were used to provide ~300-400 lux illumination on the eight desks. In comparison, the sun constantly provides ~100,000 lux illumination on the Earth’s surface. Even with an overcast sky, it would still have ~40,000 lux! Can you see the potential?!
Thanks to the designer at the office to help me “stitch” together a few photos to include the entire panoramic window.
