LIGHTING LAYOUT

Lighting is an integral part of any architectural scheme and should be coordinated with the interior
features. The primary elements of a lighting design consist of point sources, linear sources, planar
sources, or volumetric sources. Volumetric sources provide ambient light; linear and planar sources
provide general illumination, and point sources provide specific task lighting. A lighting layout
coordinates the fixture locations with diffusers, return grilles, speakers, sprinkler heads, and other
structural elements.

Lighting and Switch Layout

This electrical floor plan sample shows the lighting and switch layout.
"In building wiring, a light switch is a switch, most commonly used to operate electric lights,
permanently connected equipment, or electrical outlets. Portable lamps such as table lamps will have
a light switch mounted on the socket, base, or in-line with the cord. Manually operated on/ off
switches may be substituted by remote control switches, or light dimmers that allow controlling the
brightness of lamps as well as turning them on or off. Light switches are also found in flashlights and
automobiles and other vehicles."

This electrical floor plan sample shows the lighting layout on the classroom reflected ceiling plan.
"Architectural lighting design is a field within architecture and architectural engineering that concerns
itself primarily with the illumination of buildings. The objective of architectural lighting design is to
obtain sufficient light for the purposes of the building, balancing factors of initial and operating cost,
appearance, and energy efficiency. Lighting designers are often specialists who must understand the
physics of light production and distribution, and the physiology and psychology of light perception by
humans. Architectural lighting design is generally concerned with the permanent illumination of a
structure. Concert and theatrical lighting have different purposes and practitioners."

This reflected ceiling plan (RCP) sample shows lighting and HVAC layout.
"A "reflected ceiling plan" shows a view of the room as if looking from above, through the ceiling, at a
mirror installed one foot below the ceiling level, which shows the reflected image of the ceiling above.
This convention maintains the same orientation of the floor and ceilings plans - looking down from
above. Reflected Ceiling Plans or RCP's are used by designers and architects to demonstrate
lighting, visible mechanical features, and ceiling forms as part of the documents provided for
construction."

POWER SUPPLY LAYOUT

This electrical floot plan sample shows the Power socket outlet layout.
"The term plug is in general and technical use in all forms of English, common alternatives being
power plug, electric plug, and (in the UK) plug top. The normal technical term (in both British and
International English) for an AC power socket is socket-outlet, but in non-technical common use a
number of other terms are used. In British English the general term is socket, but there are numerous
common alternatives, including power point, plug socket, wall socket, and wall plug. In American
English receptacle and outlet are common, sometimes with qualifiers such as wall outlet, electrical
outlet and electrical receptacle, all of these sometimes to be found in the same document. A socket
may be surrounded by a decorative and/ or protective cover called a wall plate, face plate, outlet
cover, socket cover, or wall cover. In some designs this is an integral piece with the socket itself,
bought and installed as a single unit."
