A tool designed for determining optimal illumination in large, high-ceilinged spaces utilizes algorithms to factor in variables such as ceiling height, room dimensions, desired light level, and fixture specifications. For example, a warehouse manager might use such a tool to determine the number and placement of luminaires required to achieve a specific illuminance on the work surface.
Accurate planning ensures efficient use of energy by avoiding over- or under-lighting. This leads to cost savings and improved working conditions. Historically, lighting design for these types of spaces relied on manual calculations and estimations. Sophisticated tools now provide greater precision and account for a wider range of variables, contributing to more sustainable and productive environments.
