    This document provides a quick lighting calculator tool to help designers calculate lighting requirements for rooms. It includes variables like room dimensions, luminaire details, and lumen outputs. The user inputs values, and the tool calculates metrics like maintained illuminance levels and number/watts of luminaires required. It also includes instructions on using the tool and a project summary sheet to compile lighting calculations for multiple rooms and calculate overall project wattage per square foot.

    Instructions
    In the Quick Lighting Calculator, all white boardered cells require input by the
    designer. The Room Cavity Ratio is calculated and shown for the designer to
    use in selecting the Coefficiant of Utilization. For rooms with lay-in
    luminaires, fixture height will be the room height. After the basic information
    is entered use the "Maintained Illuminance" or the "Luminaires Required"
    areas for the desired function. The areas calculate independantly, but both
    use the common data above.

    The Project Summary page may be used to summarize the project lighting
    values. After the total watts are computed for the desired lighting levels in the
    Quick Calculator, the designer may move these numbers to this spreadsheet
    where the room W/SqFt and the project average W/SqFt are automatically
    calculated. When printing the Project Summary or Quick Calculator pages,
    go to File/Print Setup and select "black & white" in the Print Options.

    Room surface reflectance is not a shown field - this information is part of the
    manufacturer's CU information sheet and should be used by the engineer to
    select the proper CU.
