Overview
This practical applications workbook — with accompanying design software — will help designers develop specific lighting system design habits and methods. Features a variety of Application Problems — multiple word problems that mirror real-life scenarios. It provides three sample problems (and solutions) for each new concept discussed — the first is worked out entirely, the second is a guided practice, and the third is unsolved. Includes unconventional and creative application problems that include variations that may not have been discussed previously, but which use common formulas and criteria. Contains IES schedules, lighting charts, and tables.Synopsis

A workbook, consisting of an introduction to light, basic principles of the standard design procedure, and application problems. The section on basic principles includes discussions of basic lighting design concepts and data chart interpretation; computation of quantity of diffuse lamp luminaries; and computation of point-source lamp intensity. Each topic is followed by a series of sample real-life problems. The final section, application problems, presents lighting problems for both diffuse and point-source lighting. Also includes a diskette containing a luminaire calculator program written in BASIC. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
