Total System Lamp OutputTotal System Lamp OutputLamp lumen output is the total initial luminous flux that the lamps emit as specified by the manufacturer.
Example 1: In an office space 3m x 4.6m with a 2.6m ceiling height, there are 2 recessed fluorescent luminaires. Each luminaire has three (3) 32W 48 T8 fluorescent lamps. Manufacturers data shows that the initial lumen output of the lamp is 2900 lumens. What is the total lamp lumen output (TOTAL)?
(TOTAL) = 2 luminaires x 3 lamps/luminaire x 2900 lumens/lamp= 17,400 lumens

Coefficient of Utilization (CU)Coefficient of Utilization (CU)Factors influencing coefficient of utilization:
The efficiency of the luminaireThe luminaire distributionThe geometry of the spaceThe reflectances of the room surface
Each luminaire has its own CU table specific to that luminaires light distribution and efficiency. CU values are listed in tables for different room geometries and room surface reflectances.
Philippine Efficient Lighting Market Transformation Project (PELMATP)
Module 4 Lighting Calculations
Coefficients of Utilization (CU)Coefficients of Utilization (CU)Coefficient of utilization is based on room cavity ratio (RCR)RCR is five (5) times the ratio of total vertical surface area to total horizontal surface area within the room cavity, and therefore indicates the relative space proportions.
Where, hRC = Room cavity heightL = Length of the roomW = Width of the room

Coefficients of Utilization (CU)Cavity ratios :
Ceiling cavity ratio is the space between the ceiling and luminaire plane computed using the equation below in relation to room cavity ratio:
Floor cavity ratio is the space between the workplane and the floor computed using the equation below in relation to room cavity ratio:

Philippine Efficient Lighting Market Transformation Project (PELMATP)
Module 4 Lighting Calculations
Coefficients of Utilization (CU)For a given room, the cavity ratios are in direct proportion to their respective cavity heights. For the case where the luminaires are mounted on the surface of the ceiling or are recessed into the ceiling, the ceiling cavity ratio is zero.
Since the coefficient of utilization is based on the room cavity ratio, it is necessary to treat this cavity as if there were a ceiling surface at the luminaire plane and a floor surface at the workplane level.
It is necessary to convert the actual ceiling reflectance into an effective ceiling cavity reflectance (pCC) and the actual floor reflectance must be converted to an effective floor cavity reflectance (pFC).
Philippine Efficient Lighting Market Transformation Project (PELMATP)
Module 4 Lighting Calculations
CU DeterminationCU DeterminationUsing Example 1 above, the following steps should be followed incalculating the coefficient of utilization.
Step 1. Determine the room cavity ratio using the equation below
Room cavity height (hRC) = Luminaire height Workplane height
Assuming a workplane height of 0.76m (typical desk height)
hRC = 2. 59 m 0.76m= 1.83m

Module 4 Lighting Calculations
CU DeterminationCU DeterminationIn this example, the luminaires are recessed in the ceiling so the luminaire height is the as the ceiling height. Computing the room cavity ratio, we have:
RCR = 5 x Room cavity height (Length + Width)
Length x Width
RCR = 5 x 1.83m (3.05m + 4.57m)
3.05m x 4.57m
RCR = 5

Module 4 Lighting Calculations
CU DeterminationCU DeterminationStep 2. Since the Lumen Method considers what occurs only within the room cavity, the ceiling and floor cavities are replaced with their effective reflectances.
To find the effective reflectance of a floor or ceiling cavity, find the floor cavity ratio and ceiling cavity ratio using the equations below
Philippine Efficient Lighting Market Transformation Project (PELMATP)
Module 4 Lighting Calculations
CU DeterminationCU DeterminationStep 3. Find the effective cavity reflectances using cavity surface reflectances. The surface that is opposite the opening to the cavity is called the base cavity. The base reflectance, the wall reflectances, and the cavity ratio determine the effective cavity reflectance. Using the IESNA Lighting Handbook, look for the cavity reflectances and cavity ratios.
For the ceiling cavity, the base reflectance is the actual ceiling surface reflectance while the floor cavity, the base reflectance is the actual floor surface reflectance.

CU DeterminationCU DeterminationStep 4. Once all room cavity reflectances and the room cavity ratio are known, the CU value can be determined by selecting the appropriate value from the luminairesCU table. Continuing with Example 1, the following assumptions are made after consulting the IES Lighting Handbook Table on Effective Reflectances:
Effective Ceiling Cavity Reflectance, CC = 0.70Wall Reflectance, W = 0.50Effective Floor Cavity Reflectance, FC = 0.20 RCR = 5 (calculated in Step 1)

Module 4 Lighting Calculations
CU DeterminationCU DeterminationCU = 0.50, which means that 50% of the lumens given off by the lamps reach the workplane and the other 50% are absorbed by the luminaire or the room surfaces and never reach the workplane.

Spacing Criteria is the maximum ratio of spacing to mounting height of the luminaire above the workplane that provides reasonable uniformity of illumination within the space
Spacing ratios for specific luminaires are given in the data sheets published by each manufacturer. This number, usually between 0.5 to 1.5, when multiplied with the mounting height, gives the maximum distance that the luminaires maybe separated and provide uniform illuminance on the workplane

Using the equation;

E = 398 lux (maintained)
This tells us that 398 lux will strike the point in question directly from the luminaire and no reflected light is calculated. The answer is a maintained illuminance level since a light loss factor of 0.85 was included to account for the loss of light over time due to reduced lumen output of the lamp and dirt on the luminaire surfaces.

Illuminance at a Point-Direct Component
In Table 1, illuminance at point 2 is greater than at point 1 and illuminance at point 3 is the least. This is because the distance at point 2 is less than point 1 and the angle theta ( ) at point 2 is less than at point 1, despite the fact that the intensity in that direction is less.
Similar reasoning can be used with regard to point 3. These two factors cause the illuminance at point 2 to be greater than the illuminance at point 3.

Module 4 Lighting Calculations
Sample CalculationsSample CalculationsThe unit power density (UPD) of 35.85 W/m2 (3.33 watts per
square foot) is high. Before the advent of the energy shortage, this value was accepted as normal. Todays practices, however dictatethat the lighting load be kept as low as possible by using energy-saving lamps and ballast.
In this example, the designer should start over with F32T8 or F36T8 lamps operated with electronic ballasts and go through thecalculations again to reduce the UPD.

Spacing Criterion, SC = spacing distance/mounting height
As per Figure 9-28 of IESNA Handbook, for 8" open reflector using 2-26 CFL, SC = 1.5
Spacing distance = 1.5 x 3.5 m = 5.25 m

Number of luminaires per row = (15m-5.25m)/5.25 = ~ 2
Number of luminaires per column = 343/2 = 172 luminaires x 5.25 m (spacing) = 903 m which exceeded 150 m.
Spacing criterion with this case is not applicable
Assuming spacing at end rows = 1 m
Number of luminaires/row = 15-2(1)/2 = 6.5 ~ 7 luminaires/row

Longitudinal spacing = 100-2(1)/48 = 2.04 m
Total length at each column = 48 x 2.04 m = 98 m
