Find the number of luminaires needed (both fractional number and then rounded off to nearest whole number) in an office given the following formula and supplied information: Number of luminaires = (AWP x EWP ) / (lumens/lamp x lamps/luminaires x CU x LLF TOTAL) Where: Ewp = average maintained illuminance on the work plane Φ (TOTAL) = total system lamp lumen output CU = coefficient of utilization LLF TOTAL = Total light loss factor Awp = area of the work plane
