TEC Studio Inc. Delivers Stunning Ohio University Project While Meeting LPD allowed by ASHRAE 90.1
Project Case Studies | March 05, 2018 | The Lighting Exchange
West Green Market, Boyd Hall, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio
Project Description: During the renovation of The Ohio University’s Boyd Dining Hall, Tec Studio Inc. lighting design services used a fraction of the allowable lighting power density (LPD) to provide the lighting levels recommended by the IES and dramatically reduce the lighting energy consumed by the space. The lighting design features linear tracks, with current-limiting devices and LED retrofit lamps, and thoughtful fixture spacing to deliver the necessary amount of light throughout the dining and food preparation areas in a significantly smaller footprint.
