You have been asked by your manager to deal with the following contract that has just been taken on by your company. A car manufacturer requires lighting for its production line. The factory has a 20,000m2 floor space and is a square. The production is split into 5 main areas which are as follows; CNC plant/ manufacture and welding bays Robotic assembly/ engine testing Stores Spraying/ bodywork Offices You may assume the areas are split evenly in dimension within the factory. building. You can further assume the factory has a height of 20m, and that the lights will be suspended by 5m from a level ceiling. CIBSE publish required lighting intensities for each purpose. In addition, you can also use a 1m working height in any calculation. Investigate what types of lighting should be used for the different areas based on the strength of light required to illuminate the plan effectively. It is up to you to choose the types of lights used in the different areas, and the quantity of each in all areas. Draw a plan of how you will light the factory, number of luminaires used, and their space apart within the different areas, and discuss any suitable emergency lighting that may be required. Analyse the lighting systems you have chosen in the different areas and discuss better methods, or systems of lighting those areas with suitable calculations to prove your hypotheses. In addition, perform calculations to see if the varying types of suggested improved lighting/ lighting methods increase them lighting efficiency within those areas. Discuss the relevance, and indeed show any benefit to improvements in your calculation accuracy from any other data you can put into the required lighting calculations.
