Before that it is required to calculate the room index by using following equation.
K = ( L x W ) / [( H1 - H0 ) x ( L + W )]
Where,
L – Room Length (m)
W – Room Width (m)
H1 – Height of luminary’s light emitting surface (m)
H0 – Height of the working plan (m)
Depending on the reflectance of Ceiling, Wall and Floor, reflectance factor figure has to decide
E.g. If it is considered that the reflectance from Ceiling, Wall and Floor in following
percentage, the reflectance factor figure will be as follows.
Ceiling – 70%, Wall – 50% and Floor – 30%
= 1.33
= 1.06
