Types of Lighting:
Natural : Sun
Etc
INTRODUCTION
• Use the most energy efficient source that has acceptable color.
• Use the most energy efficient source that has acceptable color.
Lumen
• 1 lumen = the photometric equivalent of the watt
• 1 lumen = luminous flux per m2 of a sphere with 1m
radius and a 1 candela isotropic light source at the centre
Lux
• metric unit of measure for illuminance on a
surface: 1 lux = 1 lumen / m2
Introduction
Definitions and Common Terms
Room index
• Ratio for the plan dimensions of the room
Utilization factor
• A measure of the effectiveness of the lighting scheme
Introduction
Definitions and Common Terms
E = I / d2 E = illuminance
I = Luminous intensity
E1 d12 = E2 d22 d = distance
Introduction
Definitions and Common Terms
Color temperature
• Color appearance of a lamp and the light it produces
Scale of illuminance
• Illuminance for all non-working interiors > 20 Lux
• Factor 1.5 is the smallest significant difference in
effect of illuminance
• Therefore the following scale is recommended:
• North lighting
• Glass strips across the roof
• Sky lights with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)
• Atrium with FRP dome
• Natural light from
windows
ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPPORTUNITIES
De-lamping to Reduce Excess Lighting
Task Lighting
• Low wattage lamps at task
• General illuminance at lower level
• Benefits:
• Reduce number of lighting fixtures
• Reduce lamp wattage
• Save considerable energy
• Better illuminance
• Aesthetically pleasing ambience
