How can a quintessentially energy-hungry light environment such as Times Square show environmental stewardship for higher performance 21st-century nightscapes? In this paper, the speaker will present the preliminary results of “(Em)Powering Times Square”. This twelve-month applied research initiative uses Times Square as a case study for a precise computation of light output from electronic displays and media façades versus renewable energy input.
