    Fluorescent lamps produce less heat and a lower temperature rise in a room than incandescent lamps providing the same light level. Many factors influence temperature rise in a room, including heat transfer through walls, heat from occupants, sunlight, and artificial lighting. While lighting loads over 10 watts per square foot are now higher than average, the minimum temperature difference people can perceive is around 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity also affects human comfort, as the evaporation of sweat helps regulate body temperature. Relative humidity is measured using wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers, and humidity levels between 40-60% are generally considered normal comfort levels for people.

    INTERIOR LIGHTING 10-29

    desired illumination level with fluorescent lamps than with incandescent


    lamps. The ratio of radiant to sensible heat for fluorescent lamps therefore
    is less than that for incandescent lamps providing the same illumination
    level. (See Fig. 6-31, page 6-37.)
    Certain relationships between heat and the human reaction to it must be
    understood in order to appreciate the relationship of light to air-condition-
    ing, or of room comfort to temperature and humidity. Table 10-4
    indi-
    cates the temperature rise resulting, under certain conditions, from various
    lighting loads in a small office. Temperature rise in a room is a result of
    many things: primarily heat transfer through walls, heat transfer with air
    changes, heat radiation that accompanies sunlight, heat emitted by human
    occupants, and the heat of the occupational process. Artificial illumina-
    tion, sunshine, and process heat are the most noticeable heat sources. In
    many offices and stores direct sunlight is eliminated and there is no obvious
    process heat. It is believed more attention than is justified is directed to
    the electrical illumination. Today 10 watts per square foot is higher than
    the average lighting load, and about 3 degrees Fahrenheit is the minimum
    effective-temperature-difference perceptible to the average human, other
    conditions being constant.
    Humidity. Temperature is measured by a thermometer which, if not
    otherwise specified, is of the dry-bulb type. However, since the human body
    regulates its temperature to retain the normal 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit by
    skin evaporation as well as by radiation and convection, and since the rate
    of such evaporation depends on the humidity of the air and continues from
    the normal, active human being, regardless of outside conditions, the sensa-
    tion of heat as interpreted by human comfort is a function of air water con-
    tent as well as of absolute temperature. Air (and in fact, any gas) has the
    property of sharing space with water vapor up to a specific amount. For
    any given temperature, this amount of water per unit volume- is called the
    saturation point; the related temperature is called the dew point. For
    example, at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and at sea-level pressure (29.921 inches
    of mercury) air will hold 0.01865 ounce of water per cubic foot. The
    variation below this theoretical ideal, which is rated 100 per cent, is called
    relative humidity. With reference to the average human skin, values over 90
    per cent are called extreme, those between 60 and 90 per cent humid, between
    40 and 60 normal, and under 40 per cent dry. Such generalizations are
    approximate only, since ambient temperature, activity of the individual, air
    movement, and so forth make appreciable differences in the apparent sensa-
    tion which is experienced.
    Relative humidity is measured by comparison between wet-bulb and dry-
    bulb thermometers. The wet-bulb type has its bulb area covered by a wet
    cloth. In use, air movement past the wet bulb is required toencourage
    evaporation. Evaporation tends to lower the reading below that recorded
    by a dry-bulb instrument. The relation between the two temperatures is a
    measure of relative humidity. If the wet-bulb thermometer shows the same
    temperature as the dry-, it indicates that no water has evaporated and there-
    fore that the humidity is 100 per cent.
