Sununary Theoretical methods for interior lighting calculations are surveyed with particular reference to modern methods. Developments in personal computer technology have enabled the interreflection method to become the best means for accurate and comprehensive illuminance and luminance calculations for the common case of the rectangular non-obstructed interior.
