Lighting Design—The Next Step

Abstract

One of the first actions of the I.E.S. Technical Committee was to set up a Panel with terms of reference including the following: To examine the past and more recent work on methods for calculating Coefficient of Utilisation values and make recommendations.

The Panel has been engaged for some time on this task and has presented an Interim Report to the Technical Committee in which are made certain proposals affecting lighting design data and calculation. This contribution is submitted by the L.D.D. Panel with the approval of the Technical Committee as a means of explaining to the Society the Panel's proposals while at the same time referring briefly to certain recent developments in lighting design with which the proposals are linked.
