MPI Informatics Building Model v1.0 - Luminaire Data

Here we provide the descriptions of the photometric measurements of the six luminaires used in the MPI Informatics Building Model. The luminaires are located only in the corridors (offices are excluded). The total number of luminaires positioned in the model is 623.

Model limitation 1: The offices do not contain any luminaire descriptions, however, they contain definitions of luminaire geometry. It is possible to put a luminaire below the geometry in the offices, if you need such an extension for lighting simulation. However, if viewed from the corridor, the door to the office must be opened in order to see the lighting. The luminaire 3 (File: IESradium.ies) should be used in offices to approximate the reality correctly.

Model limitation 2: As the number of luminaires is exhaustive, the luminaire maintenance factors were not measured before acqusition of the HDR photos. The luminaire maintenance factor describes the reduction of luminous flux due to the soiling of the luminaire after a certain period of time (as a ratio with respect to the initial luminous flux for a new luminaire). It is described as a function of time and it is a number smaller than 1.0. The maintenance factor can be as small as 60 percent for some types of lamp bulbs at the end of their lifetime.

The gantry used to measure the luminaires

The goniometric diagram was measured at the Czech Technical University , Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Electrical Power Engineering using either a goniophotomer or a photometric bench (for luminaire 2 and luminaire 3 due to their size). The measurement was carried out by Jiri Drahokoupil and Dipl.-Ing. Marek Balsky. The measurements represent the far-field photometry of the light sources. The luminaires were oriented as type C luminaires (see image below).
