Why Lighting Design ?
Davis Partnership’s Lighting Design team combines the technical expertise
required to design lighting systems with a comprehensive understanding of how
light affects the experience of space. Our knowledge of both functional and
aesthetic requirements allows us to design highly efficient, effective and
unique systems. We consider these factors, among others, when designing
lighting systems:
>> Function
>> Energy and Environmental Considerations
>> Behavioral Effects
>> Aesthetics 1
>> Budget
 Function
Successful lighting design starts
with an analysis of the func-
tional requirements of the space.
Daylight and artificial lighting
must be integrated to support
2
usage. Thorough consideration
must be given to elements such
as glare, visual comfort, and
task illumination. We carefully
select light sources to deliver the
appropriate quantity and quality
of light, and strongly believe that
there is no “one size fits all”
solution for lighting design.

Energy and
Environmental
Considerations
As energy codes become more
stringent and energy costs
escalate, projects benefit from 5
a team member who specializes
in lighting in order to arrive at
an outcome that balances
energy code compliance,
sustainability, and evolving
lighting technology.
 Behavioral Effects
Ongoing research demonstrates
the substantial effects of light
on human health and behavior.
We leverage our knowledge of
lighting’s influence on health
6
into thoughtful designs that
positively influence outcomes
for staff and users.
8
Aesthetics
Lighting profoundly affects our
perception of space. A remark-
able architectural design can be 9
rendered lifeless with poor light-
ing, and an unremarkable space
can be drastically improved
with excellent lighting design.
 Budget
Lighting is one of the portions of a project
most likely to exceed budgets. We have
developed a unique specification method
that introduces fairness, accountability and
transparency to lighting costs. We are driven
by the desire to help the client acquire the
right lighting at the best cost.
