Eo
X 100%
I) Market
DF = 800/32000 X 100%
= 2.5%
This space has a fair daylight factor, the usage of artificial light would be sufficient to the space.
II) Reading
DF = 700/32000 X 100%
= 2.19%
This space has a fair daylight factor, the usage of artificial light would be sufficient to the space.
III) Spa
DF = 600/32000 X 100%
= 1.88%
This space has a fair daylight factor, the usage of artificial light would be sufficient to the space.
