    The document provides a step-by-step solution for designing artificial lighting in a classroom measuring 85 sq. mt. It determines that 4 lighting fixtures, each with 20 watt lamps, are required to provide 178.17 lux of lighting based on utilization factor, room index, and other calculations. The spacing between luminaires is calculated as 3.887 meters with a mounting height of 1.69 meters and space to height ratio of 2.3, which is close to specified limits. Choosing luminaires with a larger space to height ratio could reduce the number of fittings and connected lighting load.

    LIGHTING DESIGN FOR THE INTERIORS

    Problem : To Design a required Artificial light in a Closed Space.

    Solution : The procedure as follows-

    TYPE : CLASSROOM

    AREA : 85 Sq.mt

    Length : 12.02

    Width : 7.02

    Height : 3.01

    Ceiling
    Height : 2.45
    STEP 1 :

    Required lux level – 178.17 lux

    Intial Output - 65 lumen/watt

    STEP 2 :

    Luminarie is given and their total watt rating is given by

    Total wattage of luminaries = 4 x 20 Watt


    = 80 Watt

    STEP 3:

    Determining Room index & Utilization Factor

    Room Index = L X W / (L + W) Hm
    Hm = Vertical distance between working plane and Luminaire

    Room Index = 12.02 X 7.02 / ( 12.02 + 7.02 ) 1.69


    = 84.3804/32.1776
    = 2.62
    Utilization Factor : 0.88

    STEP 4:

    Number of luminaries required

    N = E X A / F X Utilisation Factor X L.L.F

    Where N = No.of Fittings


    E = Lux Level required on working plane
    =178.17 Lux
    F = Total Flux ( Lumens ) from all lamps in one fitting
    = lumen efficiency X Each Fixture watt
    = 65 X 80 = 5200 Lumens
    U.F = Utilisation Factor from the table form the fitting to be used
    = 0.88

    L.L.F = Light Loss Factor . This takes account of the depreciation


    over time of lamp Output and dirt accumulation on the
    fitting and the walls of the building .
    = Lamp Lumen M.F X Luminaire M.F X ROOM SURFACE M.F
    = 0.8

    Therefore
    N = 178.17 ( 12.02 X 7.02 ) / 5200 X 0.88 X 0.8
    = 15034.055868 / 3660.8
    = 4.1067

    So , 4 nos Lighting Fixtures are required . Total No.of 20 watt lamps is 4.

    Step 5 :

    Space the luminaires to achieve desired uniformity.

    Spacing between luminares = 3.887

    Mounting height = 1.69

    Space to height ratio ( S.H.R ) = 2..3

    This is close to the limits specified and hence accepted.

    It is better to choose luminaires with larger SHR. This can reduce the
    number of fittings and
    connected lighting load.
