    The lumen method calculation worksheet is used to calculate the lighting design for a space based on illuminance levels, fixture types, and room dimensions and properties. It helps determine the number of fixtures needed to achieve the target illumination value.

    The lumen method calculation worksheet is used to calculate lighting designs. It helps determine parameters like room cavity ratio (RCR), coefficient of utilization (CU), light loss factors (LLF), and the number of fixtures required to achieve the target illumination level for a space.

    To calculate the CU, you first determine the low and high RCR values and their corresponding CU values (CU1 and CU2). Then based on the actual RCR, you calculate the difference (X) between it and the low RCR. Using CU1 and the difference X, you calculate the actual CU.
