Background area The background area borders the direct ambient area according to DIN EN 12464-1 and
reaches up to the borders of the room. In larger rooms, the background area is at least
3 m wide. It is located horizontally at floor level.
Allocation of the light colours to the colour temperature ranges acc. to EN 12464-1:
Clearance height The designation for the distance between upper edge of the floor and bottom edge of
the ceiling (in the completely furnished status of room).
Control group A group of luminaires that are dimmed and controlled together. For each lighting scene,
a control group provides its own dimming value. All luminaires within a control group
share this dimming value. The control groups with their luminaires are automatically
determined by DIALux on the basis of the created light scenes and their luminaire
groups.
The general colour rendering index Ra (or CRI) is a dimensionless figure that describes
the quality of a white light source in regards to its similarity with the remission spectra of
defined 8 test colours (see DIN 6169 or CIE 1974) to a reference light source.

Daylight autonomy Describes what percentage of the daily working time the required illuminance is met by
daylight. The nominal illuminance is used from the room profile, unlike described in EN
17037. The calculation is not done in the centre of the room but at the placed sensor
measuring point. A room is considered sufficiently supplied with daylight if it achieves at
least 50% daylight autonomy.
Daylight factor Ratio of the illuminance achieved solely by daylight incidence at a point in the inside to
the horizontal illuminance in the outer area under an unobstructed sky.
Daylight quotient effective area A calculation surface within which the daylight quotient is calculated.
Energy evaluation Based on an hourly calculation procedure for daylight in indoor spaces, considering the
project geometry and any existing daylight control systems. Orientation and location of
the project are also considered. The calculation uses the specified system power of the
luminaires to determine the energy demand. A linear relationship between power and
luminous flux in the dimmed state is assumed for daylight-controlled luminaires. Times
of use and nominal illuminance are determined from the usage profiles of the spaces.
Switched-on luminaires that are explicitly excluded from control also consider the
specified times-of-use. The daylight control systems use a simplified control logic that
closes them at an outdoor horizontal illuminance of 27,500lx.
The calendar year 2022 is used as a reference only. It is not a simulation of this year. The
reference year is only used to assign the days of the week to the calculated results. The
changeover to summer time is not considered. The reference sky type used is the
average sky described in CIE 110 without direct sunlight.
The method was developed together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics
and is available for review by the Joint Working Group 1 ISO TC 274 as an extension of
the previous annual regression-based method.

Illuminance Describes the ratio of the luminous flux that strikes a certain surface to the size of this
surface (lm/m² = lx). The illuminance is not tied to an object surface. It can be
determined anywhere in space (inside or outside). The illuminance is not a product
feature because it is a recipient value. Luxometers are used for measuring.
Unit: Lux
Abbreviation: lx
Formula symbol: E
Illuminance, adaptive For the determining of the middle adaptive illuminance on a surface, this is rastered
"adaptively". In the area of large illuminance differences within the surface, the raster is
subdivided finer; within lesser differences, a rougher classification is made.
Illuminance, horizontal Illuminance that is calculated or measured on a horizontal (level) surface (this can be for
example a table top or the floor). The horizontal illuminance is usually identified by the
formula letter Eh .
Illuminance, perpendicular Illuminance that is calculated or measured plumb-vertical to a surface. This needs to be
taken into account for tilted surfaces. If the surface is horizontal or vertical, then there is
no difference between the perpendicular and the horizontal or vertical illuminance.
Illuminance, vertical Illuminance that is calculated or measured on a vertical surface (this can be for example
the front of some shelves). The vertical illuminance is usually identified by the formula
letter Ev.

Luminance Dimension for the "brightness impression" that the human eye has of a surface. The
surface itself can emit light thereby or light striking it can be reflected (emitter value). It is
the only photometric value that the human eye can perceive.
Luminous efficacy Ratio of the emitted luminous flux Φ [lm] to the absorbed electrical power P [ W] Unit:
lm/W.
This ratio can be formed for the lamp or LED module (lamp or module light output), the
lamp or module with control gear (system light output) and the complete luminaire
(luminaire light output).
Luminous flux Dimension for the total light output that is emitted from one light source in all directions.
It is thus an "emitter value" that specifies the entire emitting output. The luminous flux of
a light source can only be determined in a laboratory. A difference is made between the
lamp or LED module luminous flux and the luminaire luminous flux.
Unit: Lumen
Abbreviation: lm
Formula symbol: Φ

Luminous intensity Describes the intensity of the light in a certain direction (emitter value). The luminous
intensity is a matter of the luminous flux Φ that is emitted in a certain spherical angle Ω.
The radiation characteristics of a light source are presented graphically in a light
distribution curve (LDC). The luminous intensity is an SI base unit.
Unit: Candela
Abbreviation: cd
Formula symbol: I
P (Engl. power)
Electric power consumption
Unit: watt
Abbreviation: W
Reflection factor The reflection factor of a surface describes how much of the striking light is reflected
back. The reflection factor is defined by the colour of the surface.

Surrounding area The ambient area directly borders the area of the visual task and should be planned with
a width of at least 0.5 m according to DIN EN 12464-1. It is at the same height as the
area of the visual task.
UGR observer Calculation point in the room, for the DIALux the UGR value is determined. The location
and height of the calculation point should correspond to the typical observer position
(position and eye level of the user).
Visual task area The area that is needed for carrying out the visual task in accordance with DIN EN 12464
-1. The height corresponds with the height at which the visual task is executed.
Wall zone Circumferential area between working plane and walls which is not taken into account
for the calculation.
Working plane Virtual measuring or calculation surface at the height of the visual task that generally
follows the room geometry. The working plane may also feature a wall zone.
