Lighting Performance Calculator, Guardian Industries

Guardian Industries’ free online tool is designed to augment designers’ understanding of high-performance glass and coatings relative to daylighting. The Lighting Performance Calculator relies on metrics such as fixture count, light output, lumens, wattage, and photometric data. Designers can use the PDFs generated by the tool to determine the number of fixtures required for a job and to compare performance, costs, and payback periods. • guardian.com
