Other titles: Surface reflectance and colour : its specification and measurement for designers
Description: Almost all calculations used in the design of interior lighting involve detailed knowledge of the reflectance values of the walls and other surfaces which are rarely known. All too often the unfortunate designer has to work on an intelligent guess. This lighting guide attempts to tackle this problem in a way which is useful to lighting designers. Its chapters take the reader through the basic physics of light reflection, the reflection properties of building materials and some relevant systems of colour specification.
