Thank you for your responses. I have worked with electrical contractors who just placed lights all over the place and if the inspector said anything, they would move them or add more lights. But, I want to actually know how to do it right. When a commercial building calls for 2 volt-amps per square foot does that mean for example that I take the voltage of the fixture (120 volts) times the amperage (.50) which gives me 60VA. Then if I divide that by 2VA (per square foot), that gives me an area of roughly 30 square feet that this fixture will cover. This is probably way off, someone help me please! : )
