Fundamentals of lighting design
Fundamental lighting terms: Illuminance
Is a measure of the amount of light that falls on the floor:
Measured in foot candles
Shows us how useful the light is
Measured at the work plane
For reference, a full moon on a clear night results in about ½ FC on the ground!
A value expressed in Kelvin, describing light’s warmth or coolness
CCT – Correlated colortemperature
Color temperature applies to the source of the color, not the effect it has on the object’s color
Fundamental lighting terms: Color temp
CRI = Color rendering index
The ability of a light source to faithfully reproduce various object’s colors
Measured on a scale of 0-100
Fundamental lighting terms: Color rendering
LEDs do not burn out like HID and fluorescent technologies
LEDs slowly depreciate like mercury vapor lamps
LEDs use special test to determine end of life
25
Fundamental lighting terms: Lumen maintenance
Assumes end of useful life after 30% lumen depreciation
L-70 test will be different for each fixture
LED fixtures must run at least 50,000 hours
26
Fundamental lighting terms: The L-70 test
Uses ASHRAE 90.1 2007
LPD of less than 1w/ft2
Means LED can have a real impact
We cover this more in sample project

Sample project with NVE incentive
What we need to know What we can produce
Cost of electricity: ₵8.83 kWh
Run hours per day: 16
Run days per year: 260
Total run hours:
16hrs/day x 260 days = 4,160 hours/year
Incentive: $0.30/w reduced
Cost of capital: 7.5%
40
Sample project data: Static data
Number of existing fixtures: 10
Input wattage of existing fixtures: 110w each
Illuminance of 36 fc @ workplane (2.5’)
LPD = .7w/ft2
41
Sample project data: Existing lighting
Number of retrofit fixtures: 10
Input wattage of fixtures: 50
Fixture cost: $100 each
Illuminance of 36 fc @ workplane (2.5’’)
LPD = .3w/ft2
42
Sample project data: New lighting
Number of fixtures (10) x input wattage of fixture (110) = 1100W
Total wattage draw (1100w) x run hours per day (16) = 17,600Wh/day
Total watts/day (17,600) / 1000 (kWh) = 17.6 kWh/day
kWh per day x days operated per year = 4,576 kWh/year
Yearly kWh usage (4,576) x cost of electricity ($.0883) = $404/year
43
Step 1: Determine current operating cost
Number of fixtures (10) x input wattage per fixture (50) = 500W
Total wattage draw (500) x run hours per day (16) = 800Wh/day
Total wattage used per day (800) / 1,000 = 8 kWh per day
kWh per day (8) x number of days per year (260) = 2080 yearly kWh usage
Yearly kWh usage (2,080) x cost of electricity ($.0883) = $184/year
44
Step 2: Determine new operating cost
Number of fixtures (10) x cost of fixture per each ($100) = $1,000
Note: Most projects will have a labor cost. Our simple example is assuming installation occurs by on-staff maintenance.
45
Step 3: Determine cost of retrofit
Take the existing wattage (1100) – the new wattage (500) = 600w
Multiply the reduced (600) by $.30 = $180 incentive
46
Step 4: Determine the incentive!
Cost of existing system annual electricity ($404) - cost of new system annual electricity ($184) = $220 energy savings per year
Subtract the utility incentive ($180) from the project cost ($1,000) = $820 net cost
Total net cost of project $ (820) / energy savings per year $ (220) = 3.7 years
47
Step 5: Determine the project payback
Total energy savings ($220) / Net total project cost ($820) = 0.27 ROI
ROI (0.27) x 100 = 27% ROI
48
Step 6: Determine the project ROI
Co = Initial investment cost
C = Energy savings per year
r = Cost of capital
t = Time
49
Step 7.0: Evaluate your investment
Co = ($820) Cost of retrofit
C = ($220) energy savings per year
r = 7.5 %
t = est. life (50,000/hr) / run hours per year (4,160) = 12 years
50
Step 7.1: Determining our inputs
Cash flow for year 1 will always be negative –represents sum of investment ($220 savings -$820 net total cost)
Years 2-12 are the projects energy savings
The NPV equation in Excel is setup as:
=NPV(Rate, Value of cash flow)
Setup a table of cash flows by year
Setup a cell for cost of capital
Highlight cost of capital cell for rate, and then drag in values for cash flows over life of project
NPV = $939.00
51
Step 7.2: Calculating NPV in Excel
Energy reduction: 54% 4,576 kWh – 2080 kWh= 2496
2496 / 4,576 = .54
LPD reduction: 57% .7-.3 = .4
.4/.7 = .57
Lighting system is 70% better than code (ASHRAE 90.1 2007)
3.7 year payback
27% ROI
$938.97 NPV (12 years at 7.5% discount rate)
Incentive covered about 20% of the project’s cost 52
