Deconstruct Lighting

- [source code]

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.
