| Abstract |
This standard, a revision of ANSI A11.1-1973 (CIS 74-1015), provides an updated and more precise text, with material emphasising energy conservation and energy management, and additional illumination levels for recently studied industries. Contents: general conditions (factors affecting seeing tasks in industry, factors of good illumination, influence of environmental factors); building design for the use of daylight; electric lighting (luminances, general and supplementary lighting, special techniques); maintenance (cleaning of luminaires). Tables give recommended levels of illumination for special working areas and lighting techniques for specific visual tasks. A section describes the effect of lighting on safety and lists minimum levels of illumination for safety pruposes. Appendices: information for determination of illumination levels; measurement of disability glare; light sources; energy versus lighting. |
