- The thesis compares 38 layouts using 19 luminaires and three lighting types in a 24-person open-plan office.
Field notes
The comparison describes a 27 × 7.5 m open-plan office and distinguishes linear luminaires in the room plan from square versions in a close-up. Its displayed targets for writing, typing and reading include 500 lx average illuminance, uniformity of 0.60, UGR limit 19 and Ra 80. The researcher says daily experience reviewing restoration projects informs questions about what can realistically change in older buildings.
