Step 4: Obtain Coefficient of Utilization from manufacturer's data:

by interpolation CU @ 1.34:
Based on Fig. 9-28 of IESNA Handbook @ RCR 1.34 @
70/50/20 reflectance
RCR = 0.64

Step 5: Compute for the Light Loss Factor (LLF)
LLF = Ballast factor x LLD x LDD x RSDD
Ballast Factor = 0.95
LLD (as per Figure 6.3 of IESNA Handbook) = Lumen maintenance
(LLD) of compact fluorescent lamp double Biax (TC-D) is LLD =
85%
LDD under luminaire maintenance category I @ very clean room using by Interpolation, x = 0.976 (RSDD)
Table 6-2 where maintenance frequency is every 12 months LDD = 0.96
Since luminaire is Direct downlight (as per Figure 6.4 of ELI handbook) LLF = 0.95 x 0.85 x 0.96 x 0.976
% Room Surface Dirt Depreciation (RSDDF) is = 12%
LLF = 0.76

Step 6: Compute for Initial Lamp Lumens (TILL) using equation below: Step 7: Calculate the required no. of luminaries using equation below.
From table lamp manufacturer’s data, the initial lamp lumens of 26W
TC-D lamp = 1,800 lumens
