However, performance at a visual task depends on many uncontrolled visual and nonvisual factors. It is often difficult or impossible to know the age, retinal health, and optical refraction of the work- et. Moreover, worker motivation, educa- tion, manual dexterity, posture, stature, and level of fatigue are highly variable and usually unmeasurable. The Basis for Deviating from the Recommended Iluminances Every visual task identified in the Design Guide has provisions for horizontal and vet «al illuminance recommendations. Depending fon the task, one or both illuminance recom ‘mendations are provided. The recommended values throughout the Design Guide represea! consensus values formally oblained by te appropriate application committe, Occasionally the visual task in a speci ‘ic space is not typical, and Figures 53 and $4 should be used to adjust the illuminance for that task, Indeed, it is extremely impor: tant thatthe lighting designer have a clear understanding of the visual task being ile- ‘inated and then’ determine whether, in fact, the recommended illuminance is appropriate. It is also possible that moe than one visual task is performed in a space. Age ‘The recommendations for illaminanees provided in the Design Guide are not made with respect to the age of the occupants. Generally the visual requirements of old persons are significantly different from those of younger porsons in the two ways (I) there isa thickening ofthe yellow enys talline lens, which decreases the amount of light reaching the retina, increases scatter hin the eye, and reduces the range of distances that can be properly focused (presbyopia); and (2) there isa reduction of pupil siz, decreasing the amount of light reaching the retina, ‘The retina illuminance of typical &0- year-old person is only about one-third of the retinal illuminance of a typical 20- year-old person du to smaller pupil sizes and thickcr lenses. lluminance Selection and Design Guide 59 Figure 58, Determination of Visual Task Parameters ists ln—pl tnt Wihenmnsaewos ‘hayintae er noc et SSpee roma Sebi ican oe ‘gianna sco et vgn so (han donate same ‘ei Yestewon tot soon cu Steven aga enevonry suns (rand atte ser) ‘evn puemarca lr no bic a end be eens ote nae not ng. evo ‘Set 0 1-4 ag, ett ‘yim geet han 4230-3 ‘ico ll ort been pd ‘sitage"2n "ct meas ‘Spr A ton a tno 40% ‘The population of persons older than 60 years growing, and this means that the ight- ing specifier must consider the possibility of increasing the recommended illuminances tnd take measures to avoid glare and exces sive Iuminance ratios in the feld of view.

This is defined as total flux onto workplane ‘workplane area coefficient of utilization (CU) gives the fiaction of lamp Tumens that reach the workplane, directly from sources and from interreflections. The CU takes into secount the efficiency of the luminaire and the impact of the luminaire distribu- ‘ion and the room surfaces in its deriva ‘ion. Thus the number of lumens pro- duced by the lamps, multiplied by this CU, determines the number that reaches the workplane: (otal lamp lumens) x CU india ~~~ workplane area Since the design objective usually is main- tsined illuminance, a light loss factor must te applied to allow for the estimated depre- ciation in lamp lumens over time, the est mated losses from ditt collection on the luminaire surfaces (including lamps), and er factors that affect luminaire lumen out put over time. The formula thus becomes: (oval lamp lumens) x CU LLP where - CU = coctfitient of uilization, LLE = light lps factor Design calculations are based on the LLF using both nonrecoverable and recover- ble factors (see Figure 64). ‘The lamp lumens in the preceeding for- ‘mula are most conveniently taken as the total rated lamp lumens in the luminaires: Fined = ost eg cole Limitations. ‘The illuminance computed by the Tumen method is an average value that is representative only ifthe luminaires sre spaced to oblain reasonably uniform illuminance. The calculation of the coefti- cients of utilization is based on empty inte riors having surfaces that exhibit perfectly diffuse reflectance. The average illuminance + determined by the lumen method is defined to be the total lumens reaching the work- plane divided by the area ofthe workplane. ‘The average value determined this. way might vary considerably from that obtained by averaging diserete values of illuminance at several points. Calculation Procedure. Figure 64 pro- vides a procedure for calculating average ‘maintained illuminance using the zonal- cavity method. err 104 IESNA Lighting Ready Reference CENERAL INFORMATION ‘Sto 1 eet a ah ‘9p 2 Determine Cav Ratios SELECTION OF COEFFICIENT OF unuzaTion fe- 7 ‘oom Gxwty Rate, ACR Cling Cavity Rat, CCR = — Flor Cay Rio, FER = ‘Si0p: Obtain Elective Callng Canty Rattan (as) ‘tp 4: ObtanEtactue Foor Cay Fetetance (nc) z= +e ‘op 5: Obtin Cootiet of Utzaton (CU) rom Manutacture's Osta SELECTION OF LIGHT Loss HT FACTORS. ‘ota aht ows factor, LLF (produto ina actor above) = — CALCULATIONS: (Gonrage Mains trian) (tuninans) eae) Tae pa aa) x (OTLB Figure 64, Average illuminance calculation sheet. Lighting Calculation Data and Basic Photometrics 105 Cavity Ratios, The radiative exchange botween the top and the base of a rectangu- lar space is a function of the proportions of its length, width, and height. Cavity ratio values approximate this effect by combin: ing these proportions into a single quantity. Inthe zonal-cavity method, the effects of oom proportions, luminaire suspension Jength, and workplane height upon the coef ficient of utilization are respectively repre- sented by the room cavity ratio, ceiling eav- ity ratio, and floor cavity ratio, These ratios ae determined by dividing the room into three cavities, as shown by Figure 65, and ‘substituting dimensions (in m or into the following formula SMaviy Tenth + cave wit) sviy rao =" vty Tong cavity width hero: Ing fr the oom cavity ratio (RR) n= ] igs forthe ceiling cavity ratio (CCR) ie To he floor eavity rao (RCR) ‘The illuminance in rooms of irregular shape can be determined by calculating the room cavity ratio using the following |éormula and solving the problem in the ‘sual manner: cavity ratio é 2.5 (cavity heighd)% (cavity perimeter) - fea of cavity ato Effective Cavity Reflectances.
