This document provides information and examples for designing illumination systems. It lists assumptions that should be made, such as depreciation and maintenance factors. An example problem is given to illuminate a 40m x 25m x 6m hall to 90 lux, using metal filament gas lamps. Calculations are shown to determine the number and type of lamps needed based on the space dimensions, illumination level, and utilization factor. For the example, 500W lamps in a 6m x 6m grid layout are determined to be suitable. Instructions are provided for students to solve a similar homework problem.
