SLL LIGHTING GUIDE 7: Office Lighting

DESCRIPTION

Lighting Guide 7: office lighting covers all aspects of the lighting of offices, from board room through general offices to the post room. It also includes guidance on lighting for offices spaces where display screen equipment is in use.

This effectively replaces Lighting Guide 3 as the relevant guidance for office buildings. However, there are many other buildings where display screen equipment is used, that Lighting Guide 3(now out of print) provides useful guidance for such applications.

Lighting Guide 7 gives advice on the design and operation of office lighting schemes and installations for all users of office buildings and associated areas. The Guide is aimed at, and will be useful to, lighting specifiers, designers, equipment providers, contractors, users, maintainers, letting agents and developers.

Following an introduction which sets the scene in terms of legislation, standards and good practice, sections cover: the design process; the design brief and information to be provided; building types; design criteria; design options for electric lighting (including direct, indirect and combined direct/indirect lighting); and design options for daylighting. An extensive final section discusses detailed room design information for primary office spaces, secondary office spaces, circulation areas and back-of-house areas.

An appendix deals with lighting for planting, especially in atria. The volume includes an extensive glossary and a comprehensive index. This Guide makes use of several relevant international, European and British Standards and is a companion to the Code for Lighting also published by the Society. The declaration of Conformity originally published in connection with lighting Guide 3 has been updated slightly to make it suitable for use with Lighting Guide 7.
