How to determine how many LED lumens you'll need to properly light your space - OR How to buy lighting in 2019


This post is brought to you by Alcon Lighting

Here’s how to determine how many LED Lumens you’ll need to properly light your space. 

How much light is enough light? The question is difficult enough but when faced with having to calculate how much LED lighting you need to create a well lit space, it can become a bit more complicated. 

Key Terms 

Lumens
A measurement of light emitted by a source, whether it’s LED, Fluorescent, Halogen, or Incandescent. This is also known as “brightness” or “light output.” Your reference point: A standard 100-watt incandescent light bulb produces about 1,500 – 1,700 lumens.

Watts
Not a measure of brightness; instead, it’s a measure of how much electricity (or energy) a bulb consumes to reach its claimed brightness.  Each type of light source, LED, Fluorescent, Halogen, or Incandescent has a different lumen-per-watt ratio.  Below we’re going to use lumens as a measurement to make sure we have enough light for a space. 

Wattage Equivalence 
Since we’ve conf...

Wood Urbanism

Resim
Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
