Marine Terminal Building, HGA Great Lakes Office
Milwaukee, WisconsinHGA's Great Lakes office required a lighting system that reinforced the architectural rigor of the space while contributing to the project's LEED Silver Certification. The connected load for the project-including conference rooms, display areas, and offices-is 1.17 watts per-square-foot. By utilizing an integrated lighting control system incorporating time-of-day, occupancy, and photocell functions, the actual operating load during daylight hours is 0.9 watts/SF or less. By selecting the most efficacious sources and control system, energy consumption is minimized while maintaining visual comfort and quality. To accomplish this, a limited palette of luminaires and light sources provides illumination for tasks, highlights displays, and complements the architecture. Tailored forms, architectural integration, and maximum use of day lighting are the hallmarks of this design.
