Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.15SpecificationsPrevail over cross-referenced details in drawingsResource for writing lighting specifications:The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) manual, Guidelines for Specification Integrity (2002)Topics include: Building a foundation for specifyingProcesses in the design, construction document, bidding, and construction phasesSpecification approaches and languages

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.16SpecificationsSpecifications address the areas of:GeneralProductsExecutionGeneral:Overall requirements of lighting specificationsComplying with codes, laws, and reference standards Product:Detailed written description of elements of a lighting system

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.17SpecificationsProduct:Open specifications:Indicate that product substitutions must be equal to description provided in documentClosed specifications:Very specific product, manufacturer, and requirementsSubstitutes are not allowed without approval Execution section:Describes installation methods, testing procedures, and maintenance provisions

Specification formatsProprietary This is the most commonJust list what you want to buy MFRs will helpCan allow for equals based on your approvalThree parts: General, Materials, and ExecutionOften use a Master that you edit for your projectPerformanceList criteria for finish level, VOC emission, resilience, appearance, whateverContractor presents options for your approvalReferenceGive a standard, such as ASTM, for the productContractor presents options for your approval

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.19Contract AdministrationContracts initiate construction phase of projectDesigner prepares contracts with clients, manufacturers, suppliers, fabricators, vendors, independent contractors, and craftspersonSome projects may require bidding and contracts through contractors, architects, or electrical contractors

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.20Contract AdministrationPossible activities in construction phase:Reviewing documentsPurchasing productsProject managementMonitoring costsSite supervisionImportant to good service is consistent and informative communication

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.21Contract AdministrationSite supervision during construction and installations conducted in accordance to local laws and regulationsMonitoring work can reinforce importance of a quality installation

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.22Contract AdministrationInstallation process includes:Aiming, focusing, and calibrating controlsCommissioning done with contractor After installation can assist with scheduling move-in and on-site supervision

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.23Postoccupancy Evaluation (POE)Purposes of POE: Assess effectiveness of lighting designDetermine how well design accommodates goals of projectConduct modifications whenever possibleAssure end-users are acquainted with proper operation of lighting systemAcquire information that can be used to improve future projectsBuild positive customer relations

Chapter 23Final Phases 2006 Fairchild Publications, Inc.24Postoccupancy Evaluation (POE)Conducted at various intervals after move-in:Visit site within first 3 months after move-inSix months laterAt least one year laterAfter two years demonstrates a commitment to integrity of design and can lead to new work
