Current Lighting Design
The A and B show the two switching options in the room
The Training Room

Design Criteria
– Integration of daylight
 Large windows located on west and south
walls
 Use of motorized shading to control amount
of daylight entering space
– Facial rendering
 Meeting place for employees
– Horizontal illuminance
 30 Fc on work plane
The Training Room
– Direct glare from fixtures
 Keep in compliance with luminance ratios
– Luminance ratios
 3:1 between task and adjacent dark
surroundings
 10:1 between task and nonadjacent dark
surroundings
– Light distribution
 Uniform distribution on work plane
Lighting Concept

Light ceiling to open up space

Lighting system that will integrate well with natural
daylight

