OPTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR DIVERSE NEEDS AND ENVIRONMENTS.

Envoy offers three optical distributions and a variety of light control media to optimize lighting performance and comply with local lighting ordinances.

The standard Envoy system features the main reflector contributing to both horizontal and vertical illumination. The upper reflector

contributes 10% uplight, reducing the visual cave effect within the parking structure.

DESIGN PRACTICES

Lighting design for parking structures normally follows specific published guidelines and design practices as defined by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America [IESNA]. IESNA publishes recommended guidelines to help facilitate garage lighting design. The following minimum guidelines are established for safety and security of pedestrians and property within the space.

*NOTE: IES Recommended Practices RP-20.

In addition to the amount of light measured on the work plane, uniformity of light must be balanced as well. As with minimum footcandle values listed on the above table, the maximum/minimum uniformity ratio within the space is an important element in minimizing eyestrain and creating an inviting and safe environment. The IESNA recommended maximum/minimum uniformity ratio is no greater than 10:1.
