Abstract
The document reports on an exercise in archiving in situ lighting power densities for occupied office lighting environments. Drawing from a previous study where field surveys of existing lighting installations were recorded, the present study extends the data to include referencable lighting power densities for the original conditions. In addition, theoretical alternate ANSI lighting power densities are computed assuming one-for-one replacement with either energy saving or standard lamps and ballasts.
