LIGHTING SYSTEM

Light is a necessity for performing tasks and for creating visual comfort.Light from the sun and sky have
been the primary sources of light till recent times.

 most of our lighting needs can be met by diffused natural light (daylight) if the building is
designed accordingly
 However, electric lighting cannot be avoided during hours when daylight is not available, or in
spaces without daylight access.

Lamps typically use electricity to create light, but also waste a lot of it as heat. This decreases the
efficiency of the lighting system while also increasing the cooling load in the building.

01code requirement
I. Lights in following areas should have photo sensor control:

a. perimeter open office larger than 100 m2 and with windows

b. perimeter conference/meeting rooms larger than 100 m2and with windows

c. perimeter lobby/waiting rooms larger than 100 m and with windows

o Lighting zone to be controlled by photo sensors should have a depth of 1.5 times the floor to
ceiling height.

II. Design interior electric lighting to not exceed the maximum installed lighting power for
each space type per SNI 03-619

02code requirement details


This code is applicable for all interior spaces that use electric lighting, except for cases where specialized
lighting is needed.
Lighti
ng code compliance calculations should be done using the following steps:
o Determine allowed lighting power:

A. Calculate space area for each space type (example office, lobby, classrooms).
B. Determine allowed watt per square meter from table above.
C. Calculate allowed lighting power for each space type (A x B)
D. Add allowed lighting power for all spaces to get the allowed lighting power budget.
o Determine designed lighting power:

E. Determine lamp wattage for all designed lamp types.


F. Determine Fixture wattage (lamp wattage x number of lamps per fixture).
G. Calculate Total space wattage (add all fixtures wattages for the space).
H. Add up all space wattages in building to get the total designed lighting power.
o Code requires that H (total design lighting power Watts) should beequal to or less than D (total
allowed lighting power Watts).

03design principles
 Energy use in lighting is mainly dependent on:
• How much does the design take utilize natural light?
• How many lamps are installed to provide the required light level?
• How efficient are the lamps and fixtures in converting the electricity to usable light and
delivering it at the work surface?
•How long are the lights kept on?
 Lighting energy can be significantly reduced by:
1. Utilizing natural light (daylight)
2. Reduction of installed lighting
3. Use of efficient lamps and fixtures
4. Use of lighting controls
