Spacing Criteria
Solatube® Spacing Criteria
To determine the appropriate spacing of the Solatube products, use the recommended spacing criteria. Spacing is based on the mounting height (MH) of the diffuser above the work plane (i.e. desk top for offices or floor for corridors) to be illuminated. These guidelines help to achieve optimum uniformity of illumination.
Notes:
1. Enclosed spaces should generally be no larger than 5 m square and should not have any interior partitions that subdivide the space into smaller work areas. Examples of enclosed spaces include offices, kitchens, bathrooms, and small to moderate sized meeting and conference rooms.
2. Examples of open plan spaces are open plan offices, hallways, large reception areas, classrooms, showrooms, and restaurant dining rooms.
3. Open ceiling spaces are spaces without finished ceilings, where the underside of the roof decking and the roof structure is exposed. Examples of open ceiling spaces include warehouse racking aisles, warehouse shipping/receiving areas, and manufacturing areas.
