Lighting Calculation Sheet

This document provides a step-by-step calculation to determine the number of luminaires required for a room. It lists the room dimensions, applicable height, room index, and other factors such as reflectance, utilization factor, light loss factor, and lumens from lamps. Based on the room being 18 meters long and 8 meters wide, with a room index of 3.69, utilization factor of 0.63, and required lux level of 100, the calculation determines that 13.1 luminaires are required, which is 5.4 luminaires per length and 2.4 luminaires per width.
