GreenLight

The GreenLight is a prescription product developed for the xdesign Environmental Health Clinic . The light is prescribed for Impatients* interested in changing their relationship to energy systems; improving indoor air-quality and developing experience with closed and coupled systems design--the chief strategies for improved environmental performance. This lighting product diffuses light by coupling to photosynthetic processes. Planting strategies can be specified to address particular indoor air quality issues including VOC, benzene and formaldehyde removal. Like other prescription products this product requires a clinic appointment to introduce the design parameters involved, and the novel issues involved in distributed power production. In addition we discuss siting the solar awning to maximize solar energy capture and explain the advantages of the seasonal performance variation; baselining indoor air quality and specifying the mini-ecosystem appropriate for the site. Furthermore, this product embodies further important research questions including strategies to address the airquality issues of energy efficient buildings, and sales of this products directly supports clinical research in this and related areas. Impatients are asked to make follow-up appointments to contribute to this research.
