| Building Summary | Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca, at Santa Barbara, California, circa 2000. A academic laboratory, classroom, and administration building, with concrete and stucco cladding, in a mild temperate climate and campus context. A high-sustainability building, based on active energy efficiency, daylighting, shading, and high recycled content materials. |

| Interior Lighting | Substantial daylighting, with many artificial lights controlled by occupancy sensors as well as time of day. | ||||||

"To ensure efficient use of energy, the building was designed to harvest natural light, heating, and cooling. Facing the ocean, the office wing has no air conditioning and instead relies on flow-through ventilation with operable windows and transoms. Daylight harvesting is coupled with a lighting plan that incorporates energy-efficient fixtures and bulbs along with controls for motion and ambient light."
Lighting: Unusual switching of lighting in exterior and public spaces. Engineers F&K reviewed lighting levels and removed some lights. Lighting controls: Occupancy sensors (required by California Title-24) and daylighting How did you determine what electric lighting levels were needed in spaces that made use of daylighting?: Using IEEE guidelines.
"Daylight control, efficient fixtures and motion sensors."
