Description
How we light Outdoor Spaces, The New Rules
Descrition
Présentateur
In creating ANSI/IES RP8-21, Recommended Practice for Design and Maintenance of Roadway and Parking Facility Lighting, the Illuminating Engineering Society, in chapter 17, changed the way we look at lighting in parking lots and parking garages. We are now able to conform with lower light levels if we have a better uniformity ratio. In this presentation we explore this and some of the underlying studies that brought us to this point and the application of the standard.
We also explore TM-15-20, Lighting Classification System, also known as BUG ratings. As part of this we explain why the old cutoff rating system no longer exists for LED fixtures and absolute vs relative photometry, LM-79.

Learning Objectives
Review of RP-8-21
- We will explore the changes made to IES recommendations for parking lots and garages over the years moving us to minimum maintained from average illuminance.
- We will explore uniformity ratios and why they are important.
- We will look at lumen per watt efficacy and lumens to explore how they can be misleading.
Review key fundamentals of LCS (Luminaire Classification System) and TM15-20.
- We will discuss the need for a new system to evaluate outdoor luminaires, BUG rating system.
- We will review the difference between absolute photometry and relative photometry and how this has caused deprecation of the old Cutt-Off rating system.
- We will explain the Lighting Classification System and review Lighting Zone zero to four.
