Daylighting




• Need

–Properly manage ever diminishing power allotments

–Augment existing recommendations with more modes

• Uniformities

• Ratios

• Maxima and Minima

–Assert and maintain authority over recommendations


• Required Characteristics

–Fine granularity of ranges or steps

–Account for

• Task difficulty and importance

• Age of observer

• Environment

• Mesopic Adaptation

New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Ranges



New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Age

Retina

Pupil

Lens


2.35 Decrease in Pupil Area


2.15 Loss in Light


2.35 Decrease in Pupil Area x

2.15 Loss in Light = Transmittance

5 times Less Light On the Retina

Conventional or legacy

recommendations are for

middle-age observers.

Old observers require twice

the illuminance

Young observers require

one-half the illuminance


New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Environment





Legacy Recommendations

• Old tasks, previous two handbooks, existing RPs

New Recommendations

• New tasks

• New environmental constraints

–Light trespass

–Dark sky

–Lighting Zones

–Activity levels

Final Application Committee Approval

New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Development

Specific Recommendations

• Horizontal illuminance

• Vertical illuminance

• Illuminance location

• Uniformity ratios

• Maxima and Minima

• Recommendations as to “Gauge” (Max, Min, Ave)

• Flags for daylighting opportunities

• Flags to indicate where the designer should establish coverage

• Cautions for veiling reflections

New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Specification



New Illuminance Determination Procedure: Adaptation

• Research in Visual Performance at Mesopic Adaptation under illuminances of different spectra

–Realistic and simulated tasks

–Reaction time measurements

–Mesopic adaptation states

–Various spectra

• Photometry Based on Intermediate (mesopic) v( ) Functions Predicts Reaction Times


Scotopic Adaptation

Luminance < 0.001 cd/m2

Mesopic Adaptations 0.001 cd/m2 < Luminance < 10 cd/m2

Photopic Adaptation

Luminance > 10 cd/m2


• Adaptation State

–Expressed as a Photopic Luminance

• Spectrum

–Expressed as a Ratio of Scotopic to Photopic Lumens


• The New Handbook recommends the Average Photopic Luminance in the Field of View be used to Determine the State of Adaptation


• The New Handbook recommends that the Spectrum be specified by its S/P

• S/P: Ratio of Scotopic to Photopic Lumens

–A single number that indicates the relative amount of

short wavelength optical radiation in a spectrum S( )

Scotopic Lumens 1700 S( ) v’( )d

–S/P = =

Photopic Lumens 683 S( ) v( )d


• The New Handbook recommends the use of Mesopic Multipliers to Scale Photopic Recommended Illuminances

–Multipliers depend on adaptation state

–Multipliers depend on spectrum, as expressed by S/P

–Multipliers provide the transformation (scaling) from

mesopic to photopic photometry

–All analyses uses only photopic photometry

Luminance (0.03)

Source S/P (1.81)

Recommendation

multiplier (0.70)



• Mesopic Multipliers can be used to:

–Determine how the State of Adaptation and

–The Spectrum of the Proposed Lighting System

–Modify a Photopic Recommended Illuminance

• Mesopic Multipliers should NOT be used to modify Photopic Recommended Illuminances in Applications where Vehicular Traffic Moves at Speeds > 40 kph (25 mph)

Determining a Mesopic Multiplier Requires Estimating the

Adaptation Luminance

The Average Luminance in the Field of View can be Used as

the Adaptation Luminance.


Recall that if a surface is diffusely reflective with a

reflectance of ρ and enjoys an average illuminance of E,

then its average luminance L is:

If the illuminance is in lux, the luminance will be

candela/m2

L E


If Other Information is not Available, it is Reasonable to

Assume that:

–The photopic illuminance recommendation, Erec, will

be produced by a proposed lighting system

–Thus, the average surface illuminance will be the

recommended photopic illuminance, Erec

–The average surface luminance will be

recL E


•The Adaptation Luminance Depends on How Much of the

Field of View the Surface Fills

–A parking garage floor that fills ½ the field of view

–The other ½ of the field is assumed to be the dark sky

with a luminance of essentially zero

–This would produce an adaptation luminance, La, of

1 1

2 2a recL L E


•For Multiple Surfaces, the Average Luminance Depends

on the Luminance and Apparent Size of Each

–The full field of view is 5 steradians in solid angle

–If, for example, there are 3 surfaces with luminances

L1, L2, and L3, and

– 1 , 2 , 3 are the solid angles subtended to the

observer by the surfaces,

–then the adaptation luminance, La, is

1 1 2 2 3 3

5a

L L LL


•Most of us will probably let Lighting Calculation Software

make these calculations for us
