4.3 How to measure average illuminance?
Sometimestheaverageilluminanceinaroommustbefoundout.
A luxmeter indicates the illuminance at the point of measurement only, and not
theaverageilluminanceinthespace.Tofindouttheaverageilluminanceinan
areaatthetime,itisnecessarytodividetheareaintoanumberofequalareas
which should be as nearly square as possible. The illuminance at the centre
ofeachsquareisthenmeasured,andtheresultsareaveraged.Theminimum
number of equal areas required for accuracy can be determined by number n:
L x B
n = -------------------------
(L + B) x H
m
where L is the length, W is the width of the indoor place H
m
and is the height of
theluminariesabovetheplaneofmeasurement.
The height of working plane is usually 0.85 m for work benches or 0.72 m for
desk top height unless the main plane of the work is known to be some other
heightabovefloorlevel.Iftheworkisperformeddowntofloorlevel,thenthe
floor is taken as the working plane of measurement.
