Application of a Fuzzy Logic Model for Optimal Assessment of the Maintenance Factor Affecting Lighting in Interior Design

Abstract

A maintenance factor (MF) is commonly used in the design of lighting applications, taking into account the intensity of lighting parameters in interior lighting areas. CIE 97.2 standards have maintenance factor (MF) values. When designers make lighting calculations, they include the maintenance factor values in the calculation from years to years. Each of the “very clean,” “clean,” “normal,” and “dirty” language variables discussed here has been given a precise value over the years. However, if the room is considered “very dirty,” “very very dirty,” “somewhat clean,” “somewhat dirty,” “not very clean,” “not very dirty,” “really dirty,” then it should be noted. How will these language variables play a role in computing? To solve this problem, a mathematical model based on fuzzy logic was developed and calculations were made in the fuzzy toolbox section of the MATLAB based on the values of this model program, and a visual model was obtained.
