1.2 Activity’sIntended Learning Outcomes (AILOs)

At the end of this activity, the student shall be able to:
a. identifyluminaires applicable in a residential dwelling.
b. calculatethe number of luminaires per room in a residential dwelling
c. evaluate the coefficient utilization using zonal cavity method

1.3 Objectives of the Activity

The objectives of this activityareto:

a. To determine the number of luminaires to be installed in each room of a single dwelling

unit
b. Provide the proper amount of light in every room of a single dwelling unit
c. Determine the coefficient of utilization using zonal cavity method

1.4 Principle of the Activity

Lighting is one of the key elements that helps make your house a home. The proper
lighting enables you to perform tasks easily, makes you feel safer and more comfortable, and
allows you to enjoy your home at its full potential. Each room, however, has specific and unique
general and accent lighting needs. Here are some tips and ideas to consider when planning your
lighting needs for each room in your home. If you are uncertain about what type of lighting
fixture you need, or you're just looking for inspiration. The following consideration shall be
included in designing the lighting system of your residential unit:

• Use lighting and decoration for a first impression.

• Make sure to size the decorative fixture to the space
• Remember that stairways and halls must have good general lighting for safety
• Use appropriate luminaire for each type of room

ACTIVITY 1: RESIDENTIAL LIGTHING DESIGN

 • Consider the illumination for each type of the room (i.e kitchen, bedroom, living
room etc)
• Consider the power consumption of each luminaire

1.5 Requirement

1. Design the lighting layout and floor plan of a single dwelling 2-storey unit having a
minimum total floor area of 100 m2.
2. Compute for the number of luminaires using the zonal cavity method
Note: Illuminance (E) shall follow the standard.
3. The dwelling shall have a minimum requirement location of the following:
• T&B
• Bedroom
• Living Room
• Dining
• Kitchen
4. Initial ρcc= 80%, ρwc= 50%, ρfc = 10%
5. Compute for the coefficient of utilization using the zonal cavity method.
6. Light Loss Factor = 80%
