I. OBJECTIVES
1.
To determine the average illumination level in each
classroom and hallway on the second floor of Candido Tirona

Hall of De La Salle University - Dasmarinas.
2.
To determine the dimensions of each room on the 2nd floor
and hallway of CTH Building.

3.
To determine the type of luminaire and specifications of
artificial light source used in each classroom and hallway in

the 2nd floor of CTH building
4.
To determine the spacing of each luminaire in the
classroom of CTH second floor.
II. INTRODUCTION
In this field work the artificial source of light is now
involved and the determining the average illumination level in
each room in CTH 2nd floor and the following terms that are
relevant in this fieldwork will be defined and discussed.
Artificial lighting is a man made light source by the use of
lamps like fluorescent, incandescent, compact fluorescent and
halogen lamps and etc. This can save energy in place of using
artificial lighting, which represents a major component of
energy consumption in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance
task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have

positive psychological effects on occupants. Each lamp type
has its unique characteristic and depends on how the lamp is
used for a specific application.
Lighting is classified by intended use as general, accent, or
task lighting, depending largely on the distribution of the light
produced by the fixture.
Task lighting is mainly functional and is usually the most
concentrated, for purposes such as reading or inspection of
materials. For example, reading poor-quality reproductions
may require task lighting levels up to 1500 lux and some
inspection tasks or surgical procedures require even higher
levels.
General lighting fills in between the two and is intended
for general illumination of an area. Indoors, this would be a
basic lamp on a table or floor, or a fixture on the ceiling.
Outdoors, general lighting for a parking lot may be as low as
10-20 lux since pedestrians and motorists already used to the
dark will need little light for crossing the area.
Recessed lighting is popular, with fixtures mounted into the
ceiling structure so as to appear flush with it. These downlights
can use narrow beam spotlights, or wider-angle floodlights,
both of which are bulbs having their own reflectors. There are
also downlights with internal reflectors designed to accept
common 'A' lamps (light bulbs) which are generally less costly
than
reflector
lamps.
Downlights
can
be
incandescent,
fluorescent, HID (high intensity discharge) or LED.

The type of calculation used in this field work is the lumen
method calculation. Lumen method calculation is the method is
a series of calculations that uses horizontal illuminance
criteria to establish a uniform luminaire layout in a space. In
its simplest form, the lumen method is merely the total number
of lumens available in a room divided by the area of the room.
In
order
to
perform
this
calculation,
many
factors,
coefficients, lamp lumen data and other quantities must be

gathered. Despite the scientific impression of the lumen method
equations, there are inaccuracies and assumptions built into the
method. Therefore, the lumen method should not typically be
used as a standalone, final solution; it should be used as a tool
in particularly uniform settings of lighting design if a simple,
rough technique of illuminance quantification is desired.
III. MATERIALS NEEDED

1. Lux Meter
2. Paper and Pencil
3. Tape Meter
IV. PROCEDURES
Before the measurement of the illumination starts, the
measurer must be able to complete the materials needed to
measure the average illumination in each classroom in CTH 2nd
floor:
1. Before measuring the average illumination level in each
room, determine the number of rooms in the second floor
of CTH building. If there is an available floor plan of the
building it is recommended to obtain the floor plan in
order to know the dimensions of each room.
2. The area of the class room must be measured by using a
tape meter and use paper and pencil in order to record
the dimensions of the room. Make certain landmarks and
in order to indicate the area and its divisions. Divide the
whole room area into desired sections lines are drawn in
the row and column of the paper.
3. Measure the illumination level in each class room in CTH

building and this should be done at night time in order to
know the illumination level produced by artificial lighting
in the luminaire. The day time light will affect the reading
of the lux meter in obtaining the illumination of the
artificial light source inside the room. The lux meter height
must be 0.8 m from the ground when it is used for
measuring the illumination.
4. Use lumen method calculation in order to calculate the
spacing of the luminaires and lamps and also the ceiling,
wall and floor reflectance must also be known and other
parameters that are involved in the computation. Any
software can be used for computing the spacing of
luminaires and lamps. The computation must be done
manually.
5. Determine the type of luminaire and lamp that is used in
each room and in the hallway.
6. Use lumen method calculation in order to calculate the
spacing of the luminaires and lamps and also the ceiling,
wall and floor reflectance must also be known and other
parameters that are involved in the computation. Any
software can be used for computing the spacing of
luminaires and lamps. The computation must be done

manually.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for other class rooms in the 2nd floor of
CTH building.
8. Use all the lamp catalogs available in order to determine
the lamp type and its specifications used in each class
room and hallway.

VII. Observation and Findings

In this fieldwork, it was observed that each classroom in
the second floor of CTH building had a different illumination
level and their average illumination level too. The type of
luminaire lamp used was a recessed light fixed type luminaire
and fluorescent lamp in each classroom in the 2nd floor of CTH
building. The highest average illumination level was in CTH211
which was 210 lux and the lowest average illumination level was
in CTH206 which was 170 lux. The moderate average illumination
level was in CTH210 approximately 189 lux. The factors that
affected the average illumination level were: the maintenance
factor of the luminaire and the lamp, the utilization factor of
the luminaire and lamp, ceiling, wall and floor reflectance in
each class room and the obstructions like chairs and tables
inside the classroom, the spacing of each luminaire inside the
room, the dust and dirt accumulated in the luminaire and the
distribution of light by the lamp inside the luminaire. As it was
observed in each room from CTH 201 to CTH 205 and from CTH
206 to CTH 213 the four corners of each room had a low
illumination level and some rooms almost reached to 0 lux
because those areas were not reached by the illumination of the
luminaire inside the room like in CTH 205 and CTH 208. Although
the main priority of the illumination of the lamp inside the

luminaire was to illuminate the work plane which were the table
used by the professor, the white board and the chairs where the
students were taking there notes and exams. As time progressed
from the installation of the light source inside the class room
and hallway until present the lumen output of the lamp in the
luminaire also decreased. The illumination level in each room
and the average illumination level was lower because of the
artificial light source was used in the class room and since the
measurement was done at night and if the measurement was
done in day time the measurement of the lux meter will be
affected by sun light since the measurer was only concerned on
the illumination level produced by the artificial light source.
The hallways average illumination level was in 10 to 60 lux and
it was almost uniform in all the parts of the hallway. The
hallway had a very low illumination level and resulted to a
lower average illumination level. The presence of the natural
light source which is the moon also affected the reading of the
illumination level along the CTH hallway. The lux meter reading
was in x 10 setting. The spacing of each luminaire in the hallway
and room also affected the illumination level in each square
meter and in the data there were also some parts that had lower
illumination level because the area was not covered by the

illumination from the artificial source of light and some areas
had higher illumination level because they were directly under
the luminaire or closer to the luminaires source of light. It is
also observed that the inverse square law was still applied in
the illumination level in each square meter of the room because
there were different illumination levels in each square meter in
the room because distance of each square meter from the
source of light which is the luminaire the distribution of light
also varied. The angle at which the luminaire and lamp was
positioned also contributed in the variation of the illumination
level in each square meter of the room the farther the square
meter from the source the lower the illumination level occurred
and when the square meter is near the source the higher the
illumination level. The wall, ceiling and the floor inside the room
also affected the illumination level in each square meter when
light strikes the wall, ceiling and the floor, the angle of
incidence resulted and when that happened there was also an
angle of reflectance. The utilization factor and room index were
0.70 and 3.21 respectively and the ceiling, wall and floor
reflectance were 0.5, 0.5 and 0.2 respectively. The spacing of
each luminaire was 3.43 meters wide and 2.67 meters long and
minimum number of rows of the luminaire was 2 rows and the

number of luminaires per row was 3. The dimension of each
square meter in each class room was 0.6 x 0.6 meters and the
hallways dimensions were 2 x 2 meters.
VIII. Conclusion and Recommendations

In this fieldwork, it is concluded that the average
illumination level of each room in the 2nd floor is measured and
obtained by the use of lux meter. The dimensions of each room
are also obtained and measured and the spacing of the
luminaires are also obtained and computed. The highest
average illumination level in the CTH 2nd floor is in CTH211 which
is 210 lux and the lowest average illumination level is in CTH206
which is 170 lux. The illumination level of each room is divided
into each square meter and the factors that affect the
illumination are: the utilization and maintenance factor of the
lamp and luminaire, the ceiling, wall and floor reflectance,
chairs and tables inside the room and also the dust and dirt
accumulated in the lamp and luminaire affecting its lumen
output. In order to prolong the life span of a lamp inside the
luminaire it must be regularly cleaned and as time progresses
its lumen output will decrease from the time it is installed. No
matter how the lamp and luminaire are cleaned and
maintained its lumen output and performance will deteriorate
and this will make the user buy another lamp for replacing the
old lamp inside the luminaire. Unequal spacing of luminaires
will also result to poor illumination level and overlapping of
luminaires inside the room and proper spacing is required. The

artificial light source which is the lamp used in the luminaire
has a lower lux compared from the natural light source and the
type of lamp used is a fluorescent lamp and its luminaire is a
fixed type recessed light. The concepts inverse square law and
the angle of incidence are also applied in the illumination of
the class room because there are variation of illumination level
in each square meter of the room.
It is recommended that in order to maintain the life span
of an artificial light source may it be any luminaire or lamp
there must be a maintenance schedule for each luminaire and
lamp in the class room and hallway in the 2nd floor of CTH
building because the dust and dirt accumulated in the lamp
and luminaire affects the illumination level. The user must also
know the required lumen output of the lamp in order to meet the
requirements of the room for illuminating the work plane of the
room and the user must buy the commercially available brands
of lamps and luminaires like G.E, Philips, Firefly, Omni etc. This
fieldwork can be used as a reference for future design for
illumination and expansion of CEAT building since there are still
plans of making two CEAT buildings near CTH. The illumination
level of CTH building can still be improved if redesigning is
possible but it will require more cost in labor and buying more
lamps and luminaires but in the meantime maintaining the
luminaires and lamps is one option of maintaining the life span
and prolonging the luminaire and lamp in each room. There
must also be an emergency light in case of blackouts. Buying a
better brand or better specification of the luminaire and lamp
is another option of improving the illumination level of the
class rooms in CTH 2nd floor the user must also have a catalog
and photometric data of each lamp to lessen the time in looking
for the appropriate type of lamp.
