    The document provides an example of calculating the lighting design for an office space. It gives the dimensions of the office as 20m by 10m by 3m high. It states the design goal is to illuminate the area to 250 lux using 32 watt CFL luminaires with a space height ratio of 1.25. It then shows the step-by-step calculations to determine: the number of luminaires needed is 21, the minimum spacing between luminaires is 2.25m, there should be 4 rows of luminaires along the width with 5 luminaires in each row, the axial spacing is 4m, and the transverse spacing is 2.5m.

    Light System and Design

    Calculations
    Example
    EXAMPLE 1

    An office has length of 20m, width=10m, height=3m.


    1.) Ceiling to desk height is 2m.
    2.) Area to be illuminated to a general I 250 lux using twin lamp 32 watt CFL
    Luminaire with SHR of 1.25.
    3.) Each Lamp has an initial output of 85 lumen per watt.
    4.) Maintenance factor is 0.63, Utilization factor is 0.69

    Design a lighting system for this office.


    Solution
    Step 1 (Find required lux level)
    Lux level required is 250 lux

    Step 2 (Select luminaire)


    Luminaire is given in equation, (CFL luminaire) and their total watt
    rating is given by;
    Total wattage of Luminaire = 2 x 32
    =64
    Step3 (Determine Room Index of UF)
    Hm = Vertical distance between working plane
      RI = 3.33

    Utilization factor = 0.69


    Step 4 (Number of luminous)

      N

    Where F = Lumen flux from each lamp


    F= lumen effeciency x each fixtures
    F = 85 x 64

      N
    N = 21 Luminaires
    Step 5 (Determine Minimum spacing between luminaire)
    Minimum Spacing = (SHR)(Hm)
    Hm = Mounting Height
    SHR = Space Height Ratio

    Minimum Spacing = (1.5)(2)


    Minimum spacing between luminaries = 2.25

    Step 6 (Determine number of required rows of luminaire


    along width of the room)

    Number of Required rows = Width of the room/ Minimum Spacing

    Number of Required rows = 10/2.25


    ≈ 4 row
    Step 7 (Number of luminaire in each row )
    Number of luminaire in each row = Total luminaire/ Number of rows

    Number of luminaire in each row = 21/4


    ≈5
    Step 8 (Axial spacing along luminaire)
    Axial Spacing = Length of the room/ Number of luminaire in each row
    Axial Spacing = 20/5
    =4
    Step 9 Transverse spacing between luminaire
    Transverse spacing = Width of the room/ Number of luminaire in each row

    Transverse spacing = 10/4


    = 2.5
