It calculates the luminous performance and installation and maintenance life cycle costs of these lighting systems. Lighting calculations were performed in typical VA functional areas which account for the majority of the luminaires used in healthcare construction: office and exam rooms, corridors, nurse stations, parking lots and garages, and warehouses and energy centers. The calculations are based on readily-availabl
