What Building RegulatiOns do I Need to Know for Lighting Design? Installing low-energy light sources in a new build home is now a must and Building RegulatiOns state that 75 per cent of the lights in a new home must be ‘energy efficient’.
The Light Guide Series provides basic informatiOn about lighting cOncepts, design, technology and policy issues. The intent is to give users fundamental principles and general background On key lighting topics. For more in-depth discussiOn of these and other lighting topics, visit the Lighting Resource Center.
A sample of the available guides are: Lighting Guide 02: Hospitals and Healthcare Buildings, Lighting Guide 04: Sports Lighting, Lighting Guide 05: Light for EducatiOn, Lighting Guide 07: Office Lighting and Lighting Guide 08: Lighting for Museums and Art Galleries.
The EN 12464 standard therefore requires an illuminance level of at least 30 lx or 50 lx* On ceilings and at least 50 lx or 75 lx* On walls. In fact, these levels ought to be significantly exceeded and should be at least 175 lx On walls.
Special COnsideratiOns Certain applicatiOns require additiOnal cOnsideratiOns, such as the additiOn of display lighting, the arduous nature of the envirOnment or the use of Display Screen Equipment. Luminaires should be selected and the design completed with these elements in mind, where appropriate.

Also the CIBSE Lighting Design Guides provide a very good source of guidance for the design of working spaces, and can be cOnsidered as best practice. Lighting Guide (LG) 7 is possibly the One most commOnly referred to, but it is often misunderstood by being used to specify luminaires rather than the total envirOnment of the space.
IlluminatiOn levels for a wide variety of envirOnments and tasks can be found in BS EN 12464-1: 2011 and the Society of Light and Lighting's Code for Lighting. The levels stated are maintained illuminance, which is the minimum average illuminatiOn level that should be achieved at the point of scheduled maintenance.
