Deconstruct Lighting

Deconstruct a Lighting object into its constituient properties.

Inputs

  • lighting [Required]

    A Lighting object to be deconstructed.

Outputs

  • name

    Text string for the lighting display name.

  • watts_per_area

    A numerical value for the lighting power density in Watts per square meter of floor area.

  • schedule

    A fractional for the use of lights over the course of the year. The fractional values will get multiplied by the watts_per_area to yield a complete lighting profile.

  • radiant_fract

    A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of the total lighting load given off as long wave radiant heat.

  • visible_fract

    A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of the total lighting load given off as short wave visible light.

  • return_fract

    A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of the total lighting load that goes into the zone return air.

  • baseline

    The baseline lighting power density in W/m2 of floor area. This baseline is useful to track how much better the installed lights are in comparison to a standard like ASHRAE 90.1.
