Important notes
  • Average measured illuminance is evidence for the recorded readings only; retain plane, grid, instrument, date, and conditions.
  • A gap result does not establish compliance or diagnose the cause of a lighting shortfall.

Formulas

  • \(\displaystyle \Delta E = E_{\mathrm{avg,measured}} - E_{\mathrm{target,maintained}}\)
  • \(\displaystyle \%\Delta E = \frac{\Delta E}{E_{\mathrm{target,maintained}}} \times 100\)

Compare measured average illuminance with a maintained target and record the direction and size of the gap.

Maintained Illuminance Gap Calculator is a planning aid. Keep the target source, product data, measurement method, and project assumptions with the result. Confirm compliance, installation, certification, and safety decisions with the responsible professional.
