25、s in the demand for both indoor and outdoor sports facili-ties. To meet the increase in demand, lighting is a cost effective way to extend hours of play dur-ing hours of darkness. Lighting is also required for indoor sporting facilities during the day. With increasing power and operational costs, en

26、ergy efficiency should be a key consideration when designing a lighting system.The purpose of IES RP-6-15 Sports and Recreational Area Lighting is to provide the reader with recommendations to aid in the design of sports lighting systems. Popular sports, such as baseball, tennis, basketball and foot

27、ball as well as recreational social activities, such as horseshoe pitching and croquet are covered. Venues for spectators of amateur, collegiate, and professional sports are complex facilities that should provide not only for the spectators, but also the equipment used in modern sports broadcasting.

28、 This docu-ment does not address those needs, so the reader should look for guidance from the sports league or the project consultant.There are some sports activities which are purely social or recreational and may not require even the minimum Class IV light levels needed (refer to Section 4.4), pub

29、lished in this document. The facil-itys owner can use discretion to provide adequate lighting for safe and effective participation in those activities.IES RP-6-15 consists of several sections. They include: Lighting Fundamentals and Principals Design Factors and Considerations, Power, Wiring and Con

30、trols, Indoor Lighting Applications Outdoor Lighting Applications, Appendices describing methods of calculation, equipment installation, measurement, maintenance, economic analysis, a glossary of lighting terms, and a bibliography that pertains to sports lighting designSports lighting systems consum

31、e power which over time can be significant, and IES RP-6-15 defines methods for maximizing energy efficiency.2.0 LIGHTING FUNDAMENTALS AND PRINCIPALSThe goal of lighting for sports is to provide an appro-priate luminous environment that contributes to the visibility of the playing target (ball), the

32、 competitors and the surrounding backgrounds. To achieve this objective, both quantitative and qualitative factors of illumination should be considered: Quantity of Illumination - The recommended quantity of illuminance is defined by the maintained average horizontal and/or vertical illuminance leve

33、ls. Quality of Illumination - The recommended quality of illuminance is defined by factors such as Uniformity Ratio (UR), Uniformity Gradient (UG) and Coefficient of Variation (CV). In addition the designer should also consider direct and reflected glare; Color Rendering Index (CRI), Color Contrast

34、(CC) and modeling.Lighting needs are determined by two distinct crite-ria; the needs of the players/participants, and those of the spectators at the farthest distance from the field of play.The illuminance levels recommended in IES RP-6-15 are based on a majority age population of the players and sp

35、ectators, i.e., between 25-65 years of age, unless otherwise stated (for additional details on vision and illumination, refer to the IES Lighting Handbook, 10th Edition, Chapter 4 Perceptions and Performance).2.1 IlluminanceHorizontal illuminance (Eh) is a measure of luminous flux density (lumens pe

36、r square meter) reaching a horizontal surface, normally taken in a plane 1 meter above or at the playing surface. Horizontal illumi-nance is the normal design criteria for two main rea-sons. First, horizontal illuminance values are easy to compute and to measure; second, there is usually only one se

37、lected horizontal plane, whereas there could be several vertical planes.Vertical illuminance (Ev) is a measure of luminous flux density (lumens per square meter) reaching the plane of a vertical surface. It should be noted that for most aerial sports the playing object is played and viewed in the ai

38、r rather than on the ground.Average Illuminance - is the arithmetic average of a set of calculation points or readings taken over a specified area at a specific time. Illuminance values 2IES RP-6-15may be achieved in some indoor applications with a combination of daylighting (see Section 2.3 Glare)

39、and electric lighting.Maintained Average Illumination - levels are aver-age illumination level readings taken at a point of time after installation and include recover-able and non-recoverable Light Loss Factors. The maintained average illumination levels shall be calculated by including Light Loss

40、Factors based on a selected point in the future. In this document the recommendations are based on providing adequate quantity and quality to ensure the sports playing surface has a luminous environment that positively contributes to the participants perfor-mance and spectators needs.ILLUMINANCE LEV

41、ELS CITED IN THE PUBLICATION ARE MAINTAINED AVERAGE OVER THE AREA OF COVERAGE FOR THE TASK (APPLICATION). The maintained average illuminance levels are values which the lighting sys-tem should always meet or exceed.To ensure good visual performance for players and spectators over the life of the ven

42、ue, it is recom-mended that the illuminance levels on the playing surface be periodically measured to ensure that the levels do not fall below recommended levels. A recommended interval for testing is either at 20 per cent of rated lamp life or every other year regardless of spot relamping. (i.e., f

43、or a 3000 hour rated life the readings should be at 600 hours, 1200 hours, 1800 hours and 2400 hours of operation.)Light Loss Factors (LLF) are factors that affect the quantity of light that reaches the task from the light source. It includes Recoverable and Non-Recoverable components. The Recoverab

44、le factors include factors such as Luminaire Dirt Depreciation (LDD), and Lamp Lumen Depreciation (LLD) that can be recovered when lights are cleaned and re-lamped. Non-Recoverable factors include factors such as voltage drop, Field Factor or optical degra-dation. A value can be added during design

45、/calcu-lation to account for these factors in order to better match calculated values with measured values. In order to achieve the recommended “maintained” light levels as the system ages, the maintenance interval becomes shorter due to the increasing non-recoverable light loss factors. This mainte

46、nance interval is dependent on local environmental condi-tions and the operational characteristics of the light-ing system.The recommended maintained average illuminance levels for various sports in Sections 7 and 8 repre-sent values which include light loss factors (refer to Annex G Lighting Terms

47、for further information on light loss factors). The designer may choose to select any LLF, however it is recommended the choice be supported with sound logic and test data.Initial average illuminance calculations should be run for new lighting installations to assess the system performance. Field me

48、asurements of initial average illuminance taken on a just-completed installation are required for comparison with the computer-calculated values.2.2 UniformityUniformity is a measure of relationships of the illu-minance over an area. It is used to understand the distribution of light on a surface. A

49、 uniformity ratio nearer to 1:1 would produce a distribution of light that would appear smooth and avoid any areas where the illumination levels are too low which could affect the visual performance of the players. The uniformity ratio not only helps to ensure that the illuminated area is uniform in appearance but also helps to ensure that the playing surface has the proper amount of illumination necessary for the visual needs of the players and spectators.This is particularly important for high-speed sports on a large playing field, such as baseball, football,
