## Description

A professional-grade tool for lighting designers to calculate precise lighting requirements. Use `get_design_validation` to verify if a setup meets target lux levels for offices, kitchens, or living rooms. You can also use `get_room_index_data` to determine the Coefficient of Utilization (CU) based on room geometry and surface reflectances, or `calculate_energy_profile` to estimate annual energy consumption and total wattage.

## Tools

### calculate_energy_profile
Calculates the electrical impact of the lighting design

### get_design_validation
Validates if a proposed lighting setup meets the target illuminance requirements for a specific room type

### get_room_index_data
Provides the calculated Room Index and Coefficient of Utilization (CU) for a specific room geometry and surface set

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Validate a lighting setup for a 5x5x3 meter office with 4 fixtures of 3000 lumens each and 70% ceiling reflectance.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated average illuminance is 540 lux, which meets the 500 lux requirement for an office.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the annual energy consumption for 10 LED fixtures, each using 15 watts, running for 2500 hours per year.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total wattage is 150W and the annual energy consumption is 375 kWh.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the room index for a room that is 6 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 3 meters high?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated Room Index for these dimensions is 1.25.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I verify if my office lighting is sufficient?**
You can use the `get_design_validation` tool by providing the room dimensions, task type (office), fixture flux, and surface reflectances to see if the average illuminance meets the 500 lux requirement.

**Can I calculate the energy cost of my lighting setup?**
Yes, use the `calculate_energy_profile` tool with the number of fixtures, wattage per fixture, and annual operating hours to get the total wattage and annual kWh.

**What determines the Coefficient of Utilization (CU)?**
The CU is determined by the room's geometry and the reflectances of the surfaces. You can find these values using the `get_room_index_data` tool.
