1. 1) This classroom has _______. A)Too much lighting B)Not enough lighting C)About the right amount of lighting

2. 2) For which of the following conditions would you increase the weighting factor by +1 in a lighting design? A)A room used exclusively by high school students B)A circular room with mirrors for walls C)A room used exclusively by government employees (i.e. speed/accuracy of task not important) D)A room used for cutting dark stone

3. Objective Use room geometry to calculate coefficient of utilization (CU)

4. Now what? We now know how much light we need. How do we get it? Zonal cavity method Calculate CU How much light makes it from the fixture to the work surface of interest Graphical methods (similar to stress strain) Ray tracing Computationally intensive

5. Illumination Calculation I ws = N × LPL × LOF × CU / A N = number of fixtures LPL = rated lumens per fixture LOF = lamp operating factor Ballast, voltage, temperature, position (HID) CU = coefficient of utilization Fraction of light that meets the work surface A = room area

6. Lamps are Not the only thing Fixtures (luminaires) Lamp type and number Power requirements Ballast Application requirements Mounting Fixture control Special features Distribution

9. 3) In lighting design, the coefficient of utilization __________. A)Determines the fraction of light fixtures in a room that are actually used. B)Measures the fraction of emitted light that reaches a working surface. C)Is lower in a room with light-colored walls than in one with dark walls. D)Depends on the type of task performed, accuracy required by the task, and on the ages of occupants in a room.

10. Zonal Cavity Method Purpose is to get CU “fixture efficiency” What parameters do you need?

11. Figure 16-1 Ref: Tao and Janis (2001)

12. Calculate Cavity Ratios CR = 2.5 × PAR × h PAR = perimeter to area ratio = P/A PAR = 2 × (L+ W)/(L × W) h = height of cavity What about CR for non-rectangular rooms? CR = 5 × (L+ W)/(L × W) × h

Reflectance Experience White ceiling, R c = 70 – 80 % = ρ c White walls, R w = 60 - 70 % = ρ w Medium to light colored walls, R w = 50 % =ρ w Dark wood paneling, R w = 25 % = ρ w Floor, R f = 10-30 % = ρ f Convert to effective reflectances (ρ cc, ρ w, ρ fc ) Tables in Tao and Janis (pg 92-93, 102-107) or from manufacturer

14. Calculation Procedure Goal is to get CU (how much light from the fixture gets to the work surface) 1.Data collection Room geometry Surface reflectances Fixture tables 2.Preliminary calculations CR for room, floor, and ceiling
