Use Spaces to Compute the Average Estimated Illumination

  • Place Space elements in the areas where you’ve added Lighting to your building model.
  • Create a Space Schedule that includes these Space elements, including these fields:
    • Level
    • Number
    • Name
    • Ceiling Reflectance
    • Wall Reflectance
    • Floor Reflectance
    • Average Estimated Illumination
  • Check the Average Estimated Illumination for the lighting fixtures provided, and add additional lighting fixtures if needed to achieve these target illumination levels:
    • Space Type
