Title: Qualitative issues in the evolution of the Andersen Lighthouse

Abstract

This paper reports on the continuing product development of the Andersen Lighthouse. Refer to ``Development of the Andersen Lighthouse for the Wal-Mart Environmental Demonstration Store`` in the Solar `94 Conference Proceedings for a description of the Andersen Lighthouse. The goals for this project were to evaluate the following qualitative issues surrounding daylighting: color rendition, quality of light, view to the sky, and human perception. In order to evaluate the effects of the Andersen Lighthouse the authors compared it to a high transmission translucent (acrylic bubble) skylight and an ordinary translucent (acrylic bubble) skylight. In addition to the above comparison, a test installation of Andersen Lighthouses in a manufacturing space was analyzed. This case study covers the affect the introduction of natural light and view had on the comfort and productivity of the employees. Visual observations, illumination readings, and employee questionnaires were used for evaluation.
