April Burn-in Testing Report for Genentech B35, South San Francisco Campus
- Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (LBNL), Berkeley, CA (United States)
Genentech and Webcor reserved a thirty-day “burn-in” period after completion of the commissioning phase to conduct a detailed evaluation of all systems in the new HTA B35 building prior to occupancy. During this period, LBNL evaluated the automated shading and dimmable indoor lighting control systems to determine whether the systems were working according to design intent. LBNL also evaluated lighting energy use and visual and thermal comfort in the perimeter zones. LBNL conducted the monitored evaluation in four perimeter zones on the 7th floor from March 25th to May 7th, 2015. The daylight and tuning control functions of the dimmable LED direct-indirect lighting control system were evaluated and then adjusted in collaboration with the electrical contractor (Redwood Electric) during the first three weeks of the evaluation. The lighting controls were then considered to be operating as expected after April 20th and a detailed evaluation of control performance and energy use was conducted thereafter. The automated shading system was assessed over a limited period (April 15-30) on both the 6th and 7th floors to determine whether the controls raised the shade when discomfort glare was imperceptible. After a few days of analysis, changes were made to the settings to admit more daylight by changing both the glare sensor threshold and by increasing the depth of direct sun ingress from 36” to 48” from the façade on all orientations except the east.
