Hypothesis Daylighting is inadequate in the building during summer months Inadequate Quantitatively: Not in compliance with the IESNA standards Qualitatively: Response Survey

Methodology 1. Make a grid to locate the positions of the light meter 2. Take the readings at the workplane level with and without electric lighting 3. Compare the readings with the IESNA standards for quantitative analysis 4. Conduct a Survey of the occupants for qualitative analysis

Comparison with the IES Standards

Conclusion Based on the results of the data collection and the survey conducted we conclude that lighting levels are adequate with just daylight. The lighting levels in the corridor are adequate with daylight alone and motion sensors is not a good idea for this space.

Limitations The time at which the measurements were taken exterior conditions were overcast. The study is based on a single day data. The sample size of the survey is not representative of a large population. N=3
