Grocery Space


1.1 Introduction into the Lighting Space The lighting redesign for Wegmans Fairfax focuses on four different spaces; The spaces selected for the lighting depth work are the grocery shopping area, the market café, the open office, and the exterior facade/parking lot lighting. The lighting design will work at enhancing Wegmans marketing and Architectural European/Village Open Market Theme. For the grocery shopping area a daylight study will be performed and skylights will be incorporated into the lighting design giving the space natural light and decreasing the dependency on electric light. Cost and performance examinations will be evaluated when appropriate throughout the depth of the lighting analysis. 1.2 Grocery Space 1.2.1 Introduction This large 40,000 square foot space is the main shopping area for customers. More than 60,000 products, compared to an average of just over 40,000 (according to the Food Marketing Institute) in most supermarkets. This space will provide the customer with the typical grocery items found in a supermarket but it also includes many specialty items. To incorporate the large variety products there is a need for a variety of different displays which requires different lighting solutions. 1.2.2 Design Criteria: (Designed to Food Display Recommendations) Appearance of Space and Luminaires: The space needs to be aesthetically appealing and inviting to the customers therefore the luminaires can not be obtrusive and must be incorporated into the architecture. The accent luminaires are brought into the architecture by hiding them under the copper canopy along the perimeter of the space and are intermixed with the decorated hanging scaffolding in the center. The general ambient luminaire fixtures are high enough not to be obtrusive to the space.

Color Appearance (and Color Contrast): Good color-rendering is important, with illuminances with a minimum of 50fc. Usually fluorescent is recommended for fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats. In fluorescent lamps; good color-rendering of 3000-4100K are used for different fresh food displays. Other lamp sources such as metal halide, white high-pressure sodium, and halogen lamp types could be used. Daylight Integration: Must minimize direct glare from the skylights integrated in design option two. Direct Glare: A distraction due to direct glare might cause customers to avoid products and put an unattractive appearance on the products and make it unable to read product descriptions or prices. It is also important not provide direct glare in the customers faces as they circulate through the space. Consideration must be taken into account for direct glare surrounding the cashier stations. Light Distribution on Surfaces: Should be designed to attract customers to the displays and make them want to buy the products displayed. Light Distribution on Task Plane: It is important to have uniform light distribution on the room surfaces. Uniformity makes traveling the space easier well you glance at the displays. Shadows: It is important not to have shadows so that the aesthetics of the space are appealing to the customers and there is no creation of unappealing sales locations. Radiant Heat: Use moderate illuminances (50fc) as light temperatures could have a negative effects and cause discoloration in fresh meats. All fresh food should have their radiant heat should be minimized. If halogen lamps are used for accent lighting use lamps with dichroic cool beam reflector coatings to reduce emitted radiant heat. Design Criteria Continued: Horizontal Luminance: Assumed Illuminances for Typical Areas in Malls. Food Displays: 50fc Circulation and eating areas: 10 Fc Cashier Areas: 30-50 Fc


1.2.3 Schematic Design Concept Development The grocery space is a functional space serving as a main sales floor for anything from the typical cereal and milk to the not so typical large selection of imported international foods, books, and home furnishings. Because of the large variety of displays in the space and because of the frequent changing needs in space it was important to incorporate a highly flexible lighting system that can be changed as the displays changed Design Goals A primary goal of the grocery space was to implement energy efficient techniques into the space, reducing the power consumption with the reduction of electric light. Implementing energy efficient techniques secondary goals were created; first to incorporate daylighting and its controls into the space. Secondly it was important to find a fixture which could have flexibility with dimming capabilities. While energy concerns were a major concern with the space it was also very important to maintain a high level of visual clarity and high level of visual performance. The skylights bring natural light into the store, brightening the visual environment. It was also very important while implementing the new design goals not to affect the way Wegmans sells it merchandise or conducts its business. 1.2.4 Equipment Used for Solutions with & without Daylight

Grocery Luminaire Plan All luminaires that are marked in black are F2 and all luminaires in green are F3.

Control Equipment & Zones The lighting system for the grocery space will be controlled by 3-level on/off daylighting control module using photocells located at two different positions in the grocery space. The controls will simply be set-up to set a certain percentage of the luminaires off when the daylight levels reach the lighting requirements of 50fc. The photocells are placed at critical points and send signals back to the daylighting control module which is set on 30 minute time delay meaning that for a certain percentage of the luminaires to be dimmed or turned on/off the light levels must go above/below light level requirements for thirty minutes. The thirty time delay element is to insure that the lights are do not flicker back and forth and create an uncomfortable illuminated environment and waste more energy than it saves. Also after midnight 50% of all F2 will be turned off and all F3 will be turned off. Store hours are from 6am till midnight


Analysis without Daylighting Only analyzing the electric light, the space had an average illuminance of 56fc at full-output which meets the suggested levels set forth by the IES. W

1.2.5 Daylighting Study and Analysis The incorporation of daylight was analyzed using SkyCalc: Skylight Design Assistant and AGI-32 to determine the optimal amount of skylights for the space. To analyze the amount of daylight being provided at different times of the year, four days were analyzed to give a wide range to show how the lighting system will have to be flexible for the changing seasons. The four dates analyzed were March 21, June 21, September 21, and December 21. For each day 3 times were analyzed with each time being calculated for three different sky conditions (clear, partly cloudy, and overcast). In the end a total of thirty-six scenarios were tested and hypothesized for throughout the year. The average amount of clear, partly cloudy, and overcast conditions for each month was accumulated from www.cityrating.com. It is also important to remember that my study only analyzed the potential benefits of daylight from the hours of 9am to 3pm because these are the times that it was assumed could improve the system most. The electric lights will be controlled by a 3-level switching and will be controlled by two photocells placed at their critical point locations. The final amount of skylights chosen was forty-nine because this provided the best energy savings solutions as discussed in section 3.0. A second energy analysis which incorporates the mechanical system is completed in section 3.0. Skylight 1586 square feet of skylight or 4.9 percent skylight to floor ratio was chosen because this optimized the energy savings with causing major problems with any other building system. The Sunoptics Prismatic model Cool-optics skylight was chosen due to its ability to maximize visible light transmission while maintaining a relative low solar heat gain coefficient for the amount of visible light transmitted. Refer to section 4.0 for skylight and roof framing plan.

Day lighting Analysis and Energy Analysis After the accumulated illuminances averages from each scenario were performed in AGI32 for a sample portion of the space then the critical point had to be found. To find the critical point first a target Illuminance with full-electric light had to be determined. The target illuminance specified for this study was 50fc (Grocery Store Recommendation by IES). After determining the target illuminance it was found which luminaires could be switched may be switched off and how long this condition could occur. To calculate this the following equation was used: % dimmed = Target Illuminance – (Undimmed Illuminance + Daylight Illuminance) Dimmed Illuminance After determining the dimming levels that are required for the ballasts, it is necessary to convert the ballast factor into the input watts. From this it is possible to show the energy saving that will result from the control implemented into the new daylighting system.

Total Cost Saved/Year $2,711.15

Day lighting Summary After analyzing the amount of electric light that could be dimmed on any particular day for the 6-hour period analyzed on each day a study was determined to see how much kwh/month could be saved. Estimating the total kwh per month from a power consumption weekly summary from previous a similarly building Wegmans owns and operates I was able to come up with monthly power consumption estimates. From the total power consumption estimate another assumption was made that the grocery space lighting loads would be responsible for twelve percent of the total power consumption of the entire building. This assumption was based on the estimate that forty percent of the total building power is dedicated to lighting loads and then from that a percentage of the total load taking into account hours of operation during the study and the percentage based on square footages. In the end a total cost estimate was completed using the total kWh of the dimmed system and then multiplying it by the percent of total light output required then multiplying that by the cost/kwh and you end up with the total cost saved per period of time. A total cost savings of $2,715.15 was accomplished by implementing the skylights and its daylight controls into the new lighting designed system. 1.2.6 Comparison between Two Systems The redesign of the grocery space was completed with two different solutions, one with skylights and one without; therefore a cost analysis was performed in order to determine the more cost effective methods for the lighting design. The annual energy consumption costs and the initial costs including materials and labor were analyzed. The cost for the additional air-handling unit to handle the additional solar heat gain from the skylights


was also included into the initial costs for solution number as was an allotment for the cross-bracing which was added to the structural roof framing system. Cost information was collected from the 2005 R.S. Means Electrical Cost Data and 2005 R.S. Means Assemblies Cost Data.

Solution 2 had a higher initial cost by $9501.41 but this amount is small enough that an owner with the ability to spend a little bit higher upfront costs can see significant payback in the future. The payback in the future will come from the decreased use of electric light due to the installation of skylights in solution 2. An estimated savings of $2711.15 annually was calculated earlier in the daylight analysis. Annual Energy Consumption Saving per/yr: $2711.15 Additonal Initial Cost in Solution 2: $9501.41 Payback Period: $9501.41 / $2711.15 = 3.5 years

Panel Boards With the new lighting design for the grocery space the lighting loads changed and an analysis of this impact was completed. Three (3) different 277V panel boards tied into the existing lighting loads to the grocery space; PP1, PP5, and PPGEM all fed 277V lighting loads, with PPGEM only feeding the emergency fixtures. But in the new Panel Board design I removed all most all lighting loads from those existing panel boards and placed them on PPEM2. PPEM2 is a panel board that is completely dedicated to lighting and in the event of power failure can be back-up by the 500kw emergency generator. All of the loads associated with fixture F2 is placed on PPEM2 and all of fixture F3’s lighting loads will be placed on PP5.

Conclusions: In conclusion I found that both design solutions were energy proved to be energy efficient systems. Solution 2 however optimized the energy consumption by decreasing the amount of electric light even more than solution 1. The skylights were able to provide a natural light to the space for the first time and make the space overall more comfortable for its occupants in the grocery space.


Section 1.3

The Front End Offices


1.3 Front End Offices 1.3.1 Introduction The front end offices are located on the first floor and serve dual purposes. First, they serve as a workspace for the front end shift managers. Secondly, they serve as a waiting area for people interviewing for jobs or meeting in private offices. The space consists of 350 square feet which features four work stations, a waiting area, and an access corridor to 5 offices. There are pictures of Wegmans accomplishments and pictures along the outside perimeter of the space.

Shaded Area represents location of Open office

Figure 1.3.2 Open Office Furniture Plan


1.3.2 Design Criteria Requirements: (Designed to Office Recommendations) Appearance of Space and luminaires This space occupies managers of the store. The front end space should be illuminated with importance for a visually welcoming appeal. Color Appearance: The CRI should be at a minimum of 75 so there is good color to execute paper tasks and VDT tasks which are performed in this space. Since this space occupies the managers of the store, it should be illuminated with importance. The wood furnishings in the space push the design towards the 3500K range for a CCT. Direct Glare: For optimal working conditions, direct glare should be avoided. Direct glare on an individual in the workspace can decrease an individual’s efficiency. Light Distribution on Surfaces: Even distribution is needed on the immediate workspace so proper luminance ratios can be achieved. Even distributions will lead to higher worker efficiencies as they work amongst the immediate workspace. Light Distribution on Task Plane: A uniform distribution on the task plane will help with the efficiency on paper tasks performed by individuals. Uniform light distribution on task plan also is important in obtaining proper luminance ratios. Luminance of Room Surfaces: Recommended maximum luminances for task to background are 3 to 1, and task to field of view is 10:1. Reflected Glare: With VDT screens present, reflected glare should be minimized. To keep reflected glare minimized, the luminance ratio between the VDT screen and the field of view should be kept at recommended values. Source /Task/Eye Geometry: Proper placement of light sources and work stations should be evaluated. Keeping VDT screens away from direct glare is essential. For example, a VDT screen angled towards a window should be avoided.


1.3.2 Design Criteria Requirements Continued System Control and Flexibility: The ability to perform paper tasks and VDT tasks should be obtained with complete occupant comfort and with out having to change conditions. The lighting system also should integrate dimming controls and occupant sensors into the design. Horizontal Illuminance: The recommendation for the illuminance on the work plane is 30 Fc-50Fc. Vertical Illuminance: It is recommended to have a vertical illuminance of 5 Fc. The presence of VDT screens in the space makes this value very important in illuminating the space appropriately. 1.3.3 Schematic Design Concept Development The office area is largely a functional space, with work stations, a waiting area, and a circulation corridor. There was however a significant importance with the appearance in this space, due to the fact that the space doubles as a waiting area for possible future employees and clients. It was crucial to improve the light levels and appearance for the front end shift managers who use the work stations. It was key to have a visually appealing and comfortable feel to the overall area. Design Goals The office space is first and foremost used as a work space. Therefore, the space should be comfortable. It is important to maintain a visually conducive working environment. Each work station should be provided with task lighting so that the individual worker will have the ability to control the illuminance levels to their own personal desired light level. Special consideration should also be taken into account with VDT screen at each work station. It was also important in the lighting design to separate the space into the two distinct functions of the space; the work area and the waiting /circulation area. What this does is add appeal to visitors and create a more visually interesting space for the waiting area, while also effectively leads people through the space.

Panel Boards With the new lighting design for the open office, the lighting loads changed and an analysis of this impact was completed. Three (3) different panelboards tied into the existing lighting loads to the open office. PP1 and PPGEM both fed 277V lighting loads, with PPGEM only feeding the emergency fixtures. But, in the new panel board design, I removed all lighting loads off of PP1 and placed all loads on to PPEM1 (circuit 3). PPEM1 is the new panel board which was redesigned in my emergency generation study in the electrical depth. Luminaires B1 and T1 tie into panelboard LV6C (circuit 3). All private offices which were specified with the same fixtures were also included into the calculations to be consistent with the existing design. I chose to keep all lighting loads in the open office and the private offices on the same circuit because of the size of the total loads and the close proximity to each other.

Calculations to the right show a typical office illuminance values at a desk without task lighting. The average illuminance of 20.66 is meant to provide high ambient light levels for office tasks. User has control to add 10 to 25 foot-candles for the occupant comfort with office tasks. Uniform distribution is provided on work plane and max/min ratio is 1.51 so uniform

This provides more task illumination for the individuals who need more foot-candles to perform work place tasks like a paper task. The max min is still very reasonable and within its limits. And, it meets the high side recommendation for paper tasks by providing over 50Fc.

This scenery provides an even higher average illuminance. This scenery might help, for example, a user who might be a little older and needs a little extra light to see the detail on a paper. This design is still within the recommended luminance ratios.

The circulation space had an average of 10.2Fc which is a little high, but is due to the close proximity to the work area and the size of the room. It does meet the minimum requirements of the IES of 5Fc for people to circulate through space safely.


Conclusion The lighting design of the Wegmans Fairfax Front End Offices created an effective working environment for the building employees and guests. The indirect/direct lighting provides the ambient light to the space while the task lighting provides additional illuminance to perform paper tasks as needed. Also, in this space there are recessed spots pointed onto the artwork providing a showcase to the exhibits and Wegmans achievements while also providing light along the walls to guide people through the space to the individual private offices. The system provides flexibility to the end user to have control over their work station and keep their lighting levels to what fits them best. The solution also provided minimal glare and kept the luminance ratios in the desired limits, leading to a very comfortable working environment. With the employees feeling comfortable with their work environment, and all other variables remaining the same, this lighting solution should lead to increased productivity.

Front Facade


1.4 Front Facade 1.4.1 Introduction The North (front) façade of Wegmans Fairfax is very important to the entire design of Wegmans Fairfax. The architectural and marketing theme Wegmans has developed inside there stores is being brought to the outside of the stores in an attempt to promote and attract business. The architecture attracts customers into the main entrances with the arches and a clock tower which stands high in the center of both entrances.

Figure 1.4.1 to the right shows the site plan with landscaping. Red Shaded Area represents Work Parameters

Figure 1.4.2 below shows an architectural perspective of the front (north façade of Wegmans Fairfax.


1.4.2 Design Criteria Requirements: Appearance of Space & Luminaires: The parking lot, facade, and landscaped regions are the first and last impression each customer is left with when shopping at Wegmans. Wegmans feels it is important for this space to appear attractive while also providing light for proper security. Direct Glare: Direct glare must be minimized for the safety of individuals operating motorized vehicles within the parking lot or adjacent roads. Light Distribution on Surfaces: It is important to maintain uniform distributions throughout the lot, which will help protect individuals from safety concerns. As a general rule, the luminance ratios should not exceed 20:1. Light Pollution/Trespass: All upward flux emission should be minimized with the parking lot and street lighting systems. All parking lot and street lighting should have luminaires with full cutoff at the horizontal plane. All non-target illumination should also be minimized on architectural and sign lighting. The outdoor lighting systems must also be conscience of not allowing any potentially undesirable of amount light to the neighboring properties. Modeling of Faces or Objects: Safety is the number one factor for Wegmans in the design of the outside space. Helping with the sense of security it is important that faces, individuals, and other objects are properly lit so that each individual can clearly see their surroundings. Peripheral Detection: Suitable illuminance levels should be provided for individuals entering or exiting the building and individuals driving motorized vehicles to provide adequate light for awareness of their surroundings on the property. Points of Interest: The entrances should be the brightest part of the space leading customers into the building. Also, signs and other special architectural features should be highlighted as appropriate. Shadows: Shadows will occur in general due to large objects or when illuminance is not even. Shadows could cause accidents by blacking out an area or due to the large difference in luminance ratios.


Source/Eye/Task: It is important that individuals have safe driving conditions. Analyzing the parking lot for proper illuminance, luminance values and minimization of glare will help conclude whether individuals can drive safely through space. Horizontal Illuminance: Minimum horizontal illuminance of 5 Fc is recommended. Generally the heavily traveled egress paths should pay close attention to the horizontal illuminance. Vertical Illuminance: Minimum vertical illuminance of 2.5 Fc is recommended. Power Allowance Requirements: As per ASHRAE 90.1 design regulations Building Entrance with Canopy: 3 W/ft2 Building Façade: 0.25 W/ft2 Parking Area: 0.2 W/ft2

1.4.3 Schematic Design Concept Development The goal of the façade design was to emulate the overall architecture theme. The lighting scheme had two simple goals in mind. First, it was important for the lighting design to accent the existing architecture and showcase the exterior facade. Secondly, since there is activity 24 hours a day it is important for the safety of customers and employees to have proper lighting in the pathways and parking lot. The first specific part of the front façade that I wanted to highlight was the two entrance ways on either end; to provide an orientation to the customers and lead them into the store. To highlight the entrance ways, the architectural columns are highlighted with decorative sconces that distribute light up and down the columns and attention is drawn into these areas. The columns and arch entrance ways are a focus of the highlighted architecture. Under the canopy downlights in the ceiling surface provide the ambient light to the area as while as creating a bright light that leads customers into the entrance ways. The clock tower was the second specific feature chosen to accent the architecture. This is the beacon or focus of the exterior architecture and it is something Wegmans and its architect have chosen as a symbol or “recognizer” for their stores. Therefore, it is important for the clock tower to be shown at night. To do this, I used a compact wall washers secured on either side of the clock tower to highlight it at night and maintained the self illuminating clock.


The remaining luminaires I choose to light from the front facade and front drive way again to show off the architecture, draw customers into the building and to maintain safety along the front driveway. Decorative sconces were that distributed the light up and down were also used in between the front windows and decorative. 1.4.4 Equipment Luminaire Schedule

Control Equipment & Zones To control the outdoor lights three (3) different zones were created. The first zone is for the façade lighting. It is controlled by a timer switch astronomically set to turn on/off at a preset times, which can be programmed for the changing seasons and changing times of darkness. The second zone controls the main parking lot lighting; this zone will be controlled by a photocell on the roof positioned towards the northern sky. The third zone will control select parking lot luminaires and will be on its on astronomical clock but will be left on throughout the night for safety of the site. All zones will have a manual override control. This meets ASHRAE 90.1 requirements with the inclusion of the automatic shut-off controls for the parking lot and façade luminaires. 1.3.5 Analysis Light Loss Factors

The front façade redesign met all the ASHRAE 90.1 Power Density Allowances. Panel Boards With the new lighting design for the Front Façade, the lighting loads changed and an analysis of this impact was completed. Two different Panels tied into the existing lighting loads PPGEM and LV6C. With the modifications made to my panel boards in my electrical redesign all new 277V lighting loads will be sent to PPEM1 because PPGEM was replaced. Luminaire lighting loads from fixture P-1 is placed on panel board PPEM1. Then LV6C is still exists as before the redesign and is equipped to handle the new lighting loads from luminaires A-1, A-2, A-4, and B-2 all tie into the existing panel LV6C and are placed on circuit 40. While A-3 will ties in circuit 38 with the lighting load from the self illuminating clock which remained the same as in existing conditions.
