CEL-1 Lighting Computer Program - User's Guide.

Abstract

The conservation of Electric Lighting Computer Program, Version 1.0 (CEL-1), aids the illumination engineer in designing energy efficient rooms. CEL-1 contains a design synthesizer which selects from among a set of user specified luminaire locations the subset which best satisfies user's design criteria. Lighting metrics which may be calculated include illuminance, luminance, equivalent sphere illuminance, and visual comfort probability. Energy profiles resulting from lighting controls which respond to daylight can be evaluated using CEL-1. This user's guide is divided into seven sections: (1) Overview of Computer Concepts; (2) Basic Structure of CEL-1; (3) Application and Examples; (4) Comprehensive Reference of Input Data Required; (5) Auxiliary Files; (6) Using CEL-1 from Batch Terminal; and (7) Using CEL-1 from Interactive Terminal.
