1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of lighting in buildings varies in relation to the roles that light has to play in the building
design. Regarding design, Lighting installations consist of four categories, which are namely: the
need for overall general illumination, task lighting with background general illumination, lighting for
dramatic effect and specialized problem lighting (i.e. a gallery or museum) (Burberry, 2015).
3|Page
Using these four categories, the aim of this assignment is to prepare a qualitative lighting design
review of an existing designed and built space. Regarding a quantitative analysis, the Student Times
Restaurant provided will aid in performing lighting calculations for a space to determine a suitable
energy efficient lighting design for the space.
The existing spaces chosen for qualitative analysis is KFC Traduna Mall, a fast food restaurant located
at Traduna Mall Centre in Port Elizabeth. This assignment will take an in depth qualitative look at the
lighting used and evaluate its performance.
The aim upon completing this assignment will be achieving a more concise understanding of the
lighting design of buildings in the built environment industry.
The designer used various lamps and luminaires to create an emotional effect and provided different
spatial effects for the users. The space is illuminated primarily to provide light for the task of eating
however, due to the low requirements of users to have a ‘fine-dining’ experience the lighting
provided is adequate. The lighting used renders the interior space to match with the brand of a fast
food restaurant giving off an air light-heartedness and leisure more than a serious undertone. The
aim was to have a lively environment combined with the large window on the Sun Facing Façade.
The colour appearance of light is mixed as different tasks do occur in the space. All spaces that cater
to the kitchen staff and office have a colder tone suggesting use of lights with a higher Kelvins that
provide a daylight effect.

2.3 DO THE LIGHTING EFFECTS CREATED ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES DEFINED ABOVE?
Yes they do as there is adequate light for tasks and a mood is created should one require to sit in.
The colours complement the Colour palette of the
room combined with the warm tones of timber
seating and the red brand colour of furniture.
Due to the space only being used during the day the lighting is adequate however, in conditions of
overcast weather the lighting does struggle
to achieve its intended use especially
towards the curtain wall.
5|Page
2.9 WHAT APPEARANCE HAS THE SPACE DURING DAYTIME?
The space is bright as you walk in further into the building but it is gloomy towards the entrance
when one is leaving the store. You get attracted towards the counter to see which could assist in
their sales.
2.10 OVERALL, DO YOU CONSIDER THE LIGHTING OF THE SPACE SUCCESSFUL? WHY?
I believe due to the commercial and economical reasons for the existence of the space the social
aspects have taken a back seat. That being said the space could do with improvements on quality of
light towards the entrance as there are seating areas where one struggles to see clearly.
3 LIGHTING CALCULATIONS
Below are calculations for the Student Times Restaurant, that aid to determine a cost effective, and
energy efficient lighting design.
Scaling and measuring occurred to determine unavailable dimensions with an assumption that all
external cavity walls have a thickness of 270mm with internal wall thickness of 110mm.
Image 1 below shows the subdivision of restaurant. The required minimum illuminance values are
taken from the SANS 10114-1: Interior lighting Part 1: Artificial lighting of interiors document shown
in Table 1 below.

We will compare it to a standard 100-Watt incandescent bulb running 12 hours a day over a 365-day
period at an electrical price of R1.25 per KWH, to calculate the performance of the lighting design.

From the analysis above, it can be seen that the Halogen costs more than the Incandescent with an
electrical saving cost difference of R42 048.00 if the choice to use the Incandescent is taken. The
Incandescent also costs less to purchase with a difference of R2881.92, therefore it is more cost and
energy efficient to use for lighting.

From the analysis above, it can be seen that the Compact Fluorescent costs more than the

therefore it is more cost and energy efficient to use for lighting.

From the analysis above, it can be seen that the Fluorescent Lamp costs less than the Incandescent
with an electrical saving cost difference of R11 957.4. The Fluorescent also costs less to purchase
with a difference of R259.48, therefore it is more cost and energy efficient to use for lighting.
Firstly, the North facing orientation of the windows assists in maximizing the amount of natural
daylight entering through the fenestrations.
The large size, shape, and use of several windows maximizes the amount of natural daylight
admission.
The one factor that would reduce this would be the glazing type used therefore; in my opinion, the
windows allow an adequate amount of sunlight into the Deck Dining Area. The conditions within
which electrical lighting is to be used would be when it is either overcast or during rainfall, which
reduces the illumination levels below the minimum, required of 200 lumens.
4. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there will need to be drastic changes to the lighting preliminarily chosen for the
Student Times Restaurant Design. These changes will of course affect the preliminary conceptual
design for the Restaurant.
Such spaces for leisure and entertainment require atmospheres to be created and cultivated and the
level and quality of illumination plays a large factor in how a space presents itself to the customer.
To both be cost effective and energy efficient, I suggest not fully substituting for the incandescent
lamps in the Main Dining areas and Kitchen where light plays the biggest factor in the quality of
space.
