Abstract

Underground carpark is a concept derived from multi - storey car park. It appears to be one of the most commonly used parking facilities in Hong Kong nowadays, mainly because of a noticeable structural issue of Hong Kong - Insufficient Land Supply. The widely accepted concept, however, may embed some latent issues that may potentially put the users at risk. In this paper, considering excess or insufficient illumination as one of the major sources of hazard, investigates the effects of light intensity in several public-use underground car parks with the aim of safeguarding carpark users. The factors affecting illumination level are identified for the lateral light intensity measurements in selected car parks with regard to the evaluated information. With reference to the relevant standards (e.g. BS ISO 8995), comments on the illumination system of those car parks will be made.
