CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Daylighting Integration and Control: If daylight can be introduced into
waiting areas, the electric lighting can be turned off when there is adequate
light.
Appearance of Space and Luminaires: Because facility visitors often
occupy waiting areas, the aesthetic appearance of the space and the
luminaires is an important criterion.
Target Horizontal Illuminance ( 10%): 100 lux (10 fc) ambient, 500 lux (50
fc) on the task
