A simple method for designing efficient public lighting, based on new parameter relationships

作者：

Highlights：

• New parameter relationships for efficient public lighting design were obtained.

• Optimization criteria included maximum energy efficiency and overall uniformity.

• The values of mounting height and spacing between luminaires are calculated by simple lineal relations.

• The results have been successfully tested with a well-known and reliable free software.
