Video Transcript:

A horizontal activity plane is an attempt to identify the horizontal surface in a space where light is most critical. For example, in work settings the horizontal surface of the tabletop, desktop, etc. qualify as the horizontal activity or workplane as it is commonly but erroneously called. In transition and circulation space, the floor qualifies as the horizontal activity plane. In churches or auditorium, laps qualify as the horizontal activity plane [1]. When performing lighting calculations, the calculation points are placed on the horizontal activity plane to observe the distribution of light where it is most needed.
