The four measurable photometric quantities of light are:
• Luminous Intensity (production) A measure of the amount of light output by a source, the unit of which is the candela (cd) or international standard candle, defined as the intensity of a black body of 1/60 cm² area when heated to the melting point of platinum.
• Luminous Flux / Distribution (transmission) The amount of light travelling in a certain direction. Its units are the lumen (lm), defined as the amount of light emitted by a 1cd point source within one unit solid angle (described later).
• Illuminance (incidence) A measure of the amount of light falling on a particular surface. Its units is lux (lx), defined as equal to one lumen per metre squared (1 lm/m²)
• Luminance (reflection) A measure of the brightness of a particular surface if considered as a large light source. Its units are CD/m². An alternative unit is the apostilb (asb) where 1cd/m² = p asb (3.14159).

Combination of the effects of air pollutants.CO2, CO, VOC, Formaldehyde, Particulate, Adequacies of the air changed frequency in a confined environment in relation to the characteristics of the incoming air and the internal production of pollutants.
IAQ – Indoor Air Quality
Example:The control sequence should introduce outside air into the occupied space to maintain a maximum inside to outside differential of 700 ppm CO2.
The average person performing light office work produces carbon dioxide at a rate of 0.3L/min.ASHRAE recommends 10 L/s per personNormal part of the atmosphere at 330 - 350 ppmAcceptable Office levels 600 - 800ppm

Procedure to perform measurementsPurposes of the evaluation and evaluation
criteriaDefine whether an environment is evaluated in
relation to:- Well-being and satisfaction of the persons who
live there- Compliance with the environmental limits
indicated by the standards- Health of workers- Evaluation of the thermo-technical plant
performances

Procedure to perform measurements Fundamental factors to be considered within the monitored environment•operation of technological plants (HVAC);•presence of work stations with peculiar characteristics;•crowding characteristics of the persons in the environment;•presence of wide windows or significant radiant sources;•presence of persons within the same environment with different levels of activity (Met) and/or clothing (Clo);•evaluation of the real operating possibilities.

Procedure to perform measurements
Identifying the moment to perform the set of measurementsThe measurements should be performed for the purpose of obtaining a general overview of an average situation and to evaluate extreme situations.For this reason it is recommended to perform 3 cycles of measurements corresponding to the coldest, the hottest and a “middle” season.

Procedure to perform measurements
Identifying the environment to considerBefore starting the set of measurements, it should be defined whether the measurements must be performed to evaluate:• personal exposure to the environment being examined• the specific environment independently from the thermal feelings of the persons present (analysis based on plant and building systems)

Procedure to perform measurements
Defining the correct time span of each measurementThe measurement period must be selected taking into account two standard situations:
-- Environment is constant throughout the day-- Environment change during the day
