'Lighting Engineering: Applied Calculations' describes the mathematical background to the calculation techniques used in lighting engineering and links them to the applications with which they are used. The fundamentals of flux and illuminance, colour, measurement and optical design are covered in detail. There are detailed discussions of specific applications, including interior lighting, road lighting, tunnel lighting, floodlighting and emergency lighting. The authors have used their years of experience to provide guidance for common mistakes and useful techniques including worked examples and case studies. The last decade has seen the universal application of personal computers to lighting engineering on a day-to-day basis. Many calculations that were previously impracticable are therefore now easily accessible to any engineer or designer who has access to an appropriate computer program. However, a grasp of the underlying calculation principles is still necessary in order to utilise these technologies to the full. Written by two of the leading authorities on this subject, 'Lighting Engineering' is essential reading for practising lighting engineers, designers and architects, and students in the field of lighting.

The IES Lighting Handbook is an indispensable reference for anyone involved in lighting, including practitioners, designers, architects, and engineers. It is a compendium of what is known that directly relates to lighting and lighting design. This new edition provides a new illuminance determination procedure consisting of visual age-based illuminance ranges and mesopic adaptation. Much information is conveniently summarized in tablular format and exemplied with numerous four-color photographs and illustrations. There is in-depth coverage of sustainability practices: new chapters on daylighting, controls, sustainability, commissioning and energy management

This comprehensive reference provides a practical, fully illustrated guide to design, specification, and application of state-of-the-art lighting, from the fundamentals of illumination to hands-on application. The full scope of light sources is examined and basic design methods for both indoor and outdoor lighting are presented, along with optimum application strategies for merchandise, offices, industrial settings, floodlighting, parking lots and street lighting. The second edition features a new chapter on skylights for industrial buildings, covering layout parameters and daylight availability calculations used to predict skylight performance. The chapter on lighting retrofits has been revised to emphasize methods for analyzing potential retrofits, examining how retrofit results can be predicted, how to evaluate retrofit proposals, and how to avoid common mistakes. Lighting maintenance, as well as the economics of lighting design, including life cycle cost analysis, are also covered.
