| Description | One of the key things we can do when designing an energy-efficient lighting system is to avoid the pitfall of over-lighting interior spaces. Engineers, interior designers, and architects who lack the proper tools to predict the illuminance that will result from their lighting layouts often tend to over-specify the wattage of lamps, as well as the number of lamps and fixtures they need in their reflected ceiling plans. This tendency to err on the side of caution is understandable. Not having enough light in an environment is a serious problem, and any owner would take their design team to task over it. On the other hand, having a little (or a lot) more light than required is not likely to raise as many eyebrows. So the safest approach for many is to round up when deciding how many fixtures to use in their layouts, or err on the side of safety when choosing the wattage of their lamps. This approach may be safe, but it's not very energy-efficient or sustainable, and it is not likely to help the lighting installation meet the restrictions of the local energy code. |
