ABSTRACT

The general artificial lighting of interiors is usually to provide a uniform illumination with fluorescent lamps. Desk level is frequently the illuminated working plane. This worksheet provides the lumen design method for general lighting of a single rectangular space. The design for additional areas and rooms is accomplished with repeated copies of this file. The user will save each room file under a unique name. The effect of localized lighting and glare is not calculated. Sufficient reference data is provided on the worksheet for the examples and questions and general design cases. The user will enter the required design illuminance and current photometric data for professional applications.
