Indoor Workplace Lighting Standards facilitate efficiency and prime performance in the work place through multifaceted analysis and guidance regarding proper indoor lighting techniques. By acknowledging and incorporating the psychological needs of the worker, economics and energy considerations, as well as ergonomic design principles, these standards strive to outline optimal methodologies for installation and operation of indoor lighting. Recommendations for the maximization of visual comfort afforded by the conjunction of artificial and day lighting are applied to specific office settings such as circulation spaces, office desks, and screen-based tasks.
By maintaining a focus on lighting quality and human visual performance, and using the available technology, lighting practitioners can light the workplace more effectively. Their careful attention to the details and willingness to work with and educate other members of the design team (architects, engineers, interior designers, owners, and users) will ensure the best possible use of available resources in design solutions that are cost effective, environmentally sustainable, and yield higher workplace satisfaction and, consequently, enhanced organizational productivity.
This standard describes installation procedures for lighting systems commonly used in industrial and storage buildings.
Lighting designers and specifiers can use this Recommended Practice to design lighting systems that will be easy to maintain and will optimize energy efficiency and maintenance based on good maintenance practices and careful product selection. They will also be able to recommend good maintenance practices. Facility owners and managers can use it to develop a maintenance plan and properly maintain their lighting systems to ensure that their investment in light performs in accordance with requirements far into the future. Other electrical and lighting professionals can use the Recommend Practice in the roles they play in recommending, specifying, installing, commissioning, and maintaining lighting systems. Includes errata.
Sets out the minimum requirements for electric lighting systems within publicly accessible areas of buildings to provide visual conditions that facilitate the safe movement of people in the normal use of the building.
Provides general principles and recommendations for the lighting of building interiors to enhance the performance and comfort of those performing visual tasks. Deals with illuminating essential task details, using both artificial light and daylight, while controlling or excluding factors that might cause visual discomfort.
This Standard sets out recommendations for the lighting of circulation spaces and other areas which commonly occur in buildings of various types. It contains material that adds to or amends the recommendations in AS/NZS 1680.1:2006 and is intended to be read in conjunction with that Standard and with any applicable specific recommendations in other Standards in the AS/NZS 1680 series. The use of this Standard without reference to AS/NZS 1680.1:2006 is a misapplication of the Standard.
Sets out recommendations for the lighting of offices and similar tasks, including screen-based tasks. While the tasks may be commonly performed in interiors called offices?, they may also be performed in other interiors; for example, reading, writing and screen-based tasks frequently occur in most types of interior workplaces.
Sets out recommendations for the creation of good seeing conditions in educational and training facilities by means of appropriate lighting and interior colour treatment. To be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 1680.1:2006 and with any applicable specific recommendations in other Standards in the AS/NZS 1680.2 series.
