ArcSine Engineering has experience in the design of power distribution, lighting, and peripheral systems for schools. Most of the projects listed below include electrical design for buildings, and many include detailed design of both indoor and outdoor lighting.

Computer switching power supplies, electronics, modern lighting, and adjustable-speed HVAC drive systems introduce undesirable power distortions. ArcSine's designs provide appropriate provisions to minimize effects on sensitive equipment, including computers and audio/visual systems.

ArcSine's lighting designs fully address functional and aesthetic concerns. We make use of both zonal cavity and point-to-point lighting design methods, and we use computer-based lighting programs. We evaluate new and existing lighting systems based on initial cost and long-term energy cost.

ArcSine is skilled at meeting the requirements of administrators and end-users, the Fire Marshall, building departments, power companies, the Department of the State Architect (DSA), and other agencies having jurisdiction.

Following are examples of ArcSine's school projects:

Performed field investigation and designed power distribution upgrades for kitchen and multipurpose room remodel.

Power, lighting, and fire alarm design for six-room, high-technology facility. Included provisions for 35 networked computer workstations, video studio, and master control room. Power quality was ensured through segregated power sources and power conditioning equipment.

Power distribution, lighting, and fire alarm design for science facility, including provisions for computer power and networking.
