New CSI specification sections created for the LightLouver Daylighting System
September 06 2011
Thanks to the efforts of Michael Holtz, FAIA, Founder and Principal at LightLouver LLC, the design and construction industry has two new specifications sections in CSI’s MasterFormat ™ construction specification system. Prior to Michael’s proposal to CSI, daylighting products did not have a specific CSI number or title for specifying interior or exterior daylighting devices. Specification writers could place daylighting product specifications wherever they thought appropriate. No more! Thanks to Michael’s proposal the CSI MasterFormat Committee has created two new Sections for daylighting devices. The first new CSI section is in Division 12 and has the Section number 12 26 00 and has the title Interior Daylighting Devices. The second new CSI section is in Division 10 and has the Section number 10 71 13.53 and has the title Exterior Daylighting Devices.
The LightLouver Daylighting System will now be specified in Division 12 Section 12 26 00, and we have already modified our construction specification to reflect this new home for specifying LightLouver units. Way to go Michael, and the daylighting products industry is in your debt for creating a home for daylighting products in CSI’s MasterFormat construction specification system.

Working with Adolfson & Peterson Construction and GE Johnson Construction on Columbine Elementary School and Stapleton Elementary School, respectively, LightLouver technicians have completed the fabrication and installation of LightLouver units at both schools with great success. We are excited and honored to be a part of these two beautiful new schools, and plan to post pictures of the installations when they become available.

In 2009, LightLouver LLC was honored to be an integral part of the highly efficient design for Manassass Park Elementary School in Manassas Park VA, which was included in the AIA COTE top 10 list for that year. VMDO Architects did an absolutely outstanding job using The LightLouver Daylighting System as the cornerstone of that school's very effective daylighitng Strategy. Photographs of Manassas Park Elementary School can be seen in our project portfolio. Currently, LightLouver LLC is working on two new schools with VMDO: Broad Rock Elementary and Oak Grove Elementary. Having reviewed the designs for both schools, we are again quite impressed with VMDO's design and their application of The LightLouver Daylighitng System, and we are excited to be working with them again. We will post updates as these project move forward, and photographs when they become available

For the second year in a row, the AIA Committee On The Environment has included a project in it's "Top Ten" list which prominently features the LightLouver Daylighting System. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Research Support Facility in Golden, Colorado is the largest net-zero energy building in the United States, thenks in part to the highly effective implementation of the LightLouver Daylighting System. LightLouver LLC is once again honored to be a part of such excellence in the field of environmental design, and we congratulate RNL Design and Haselden Construction for their work on the project.
