'Lighting', or the amount of light is not measured in watts. A 'watt' is a unit of power, measurement of current drawn. Most 100 watt/110 volt lamps initially produce 1690 lumens (a 'lumen' is the measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source).
A 15 foot by 10 foot room is not very big, and one or two 100 watt incandescent lamps on a ceiling light fixture on a 120 volt service can light it adequately.
I mention "110 volt" as in parts of the world with 220 mains these numbers change. As the voltage is doubled, the watts required would halve for the same amount of light. In other words, all other things being equal, a 50 watt 220 volt lamp should use the same amount of power, producing the same amount of light as a 100 watt 110 volt lamp.

Is it good practice to have outlets on different floors on the same circuit?
The answer is no, not generally. All that means is I wouldn't do it that way. It all depends on how much you want to go out if that circuit trips. Having outlets on different circuits isn't as important as having lighting on different circuits. If a lighting circuit trips, and in a home the lighting and outlets share circuits, you don't want every room on that floor to be dark. So you might consider wiring a room on one floor on the same circuit as the room above or below. That's fine. But if there are 4 rooms in close proximity on the same floor, I wouldn't put all the lighting on one circuit, even though that is an acceptable installation.
How much should it cost for the electrical wiring of a new build house in the alp region of France Approx 200 square meters?
Its very difficult to assess the cost as it will require costings of howmany mains lines and sockets required in each room, lighting sockets, utility sockets such as cooker, hob, oven. Bathroom requirements i.e. shower, shaver etc

Formula for calculating btu for a room metric?
Calculating your air conditioning requirementsHeat LoadThe amount of heat generated is known as the heat gain or heat load. Heat is measured in either British Thermal Units (BTU) or Kilowatts (KW). 1KW is equivalent to 3412BTUs.The heat load depends on a number of factors, by taking into account those that apply in your circumstances and adding them together a reasonably accurate measure of the total heat can be calculated.Factors include:The floor area of the roomThe size and position of windows, and whether they have blinds or shadesThe number of room occupants (if any)The heat generated by equipmentThe heat generated by lightingFloor Area of RoomThe amount of cooling required depends on the area of the room. To calculate the area in square metres:Room Area BTU = Length (m) x Width (m) x 337Window Size and PositionIf, your room has no windows, you can ignore this part of the calculation. If, however there are windows you need to take the size and orientation into account.South Window BTU = South Facing window Length (m) x Width (m) x 870North Window BTU = North Facing windows Length (m) x Width (m) x 165If there are no blinds on the windows multiply the result(s) by 1.5.Add together all the BTUs for the windows.Windows BTU = South Window(s) BTU + North Window(s) BTUOccupantsYou will have to take that into account people who normally working in the space. The heat output is around 400 BTU per person.Total Occupant BTU = Number of occupants x 400EquipmentClearly most heat in a room is generated by the equipment. This is trickier to calculate that you might think. The wattage on equipment is the maximum power consumption rating, the actual power consumed may be less. However it is probably safer to overestimate the wattage than underestimate it.Equipment BTU = Total wattage for all equipment x 3.5LightingTake the total wattage of the lighting and multiply by 4.25.Lighting BTU = Total wattage for all lighting x 4.25Total Cooling RequiredAdd all the BTUs together.Total Heat Load = Room Area BTU + Windows BTU + Total Occupant BTU + Equipment BTU + Lighting BTUThis is the amount of cooling required so you need one or more air conditioning units to handle that amount of heat.

In a room like the garage, laundry or storage room, you may want more light and whiter is better. but i rooms like the library kitchen or bedrooms incandescent colors or are more soft and soothing also we use them to see clearly at light like the lights the lights that we use outside for parties and stuff.

Designing with Commercial Lighting?
When it comes to choosing office lighting, it's important to select pieces that create a comfortable atmosphere. Task lighting will be required for computer work, writing and reading. Accent lighting can be placed to illuminate collections or prized possessions. General lighting brings sufficient glare to the surrounding area. Fluorescent lamps are generally used in commercial lighting fixtures for many reasons. They are cost-effective, produce bright, evenly distributed, light and come in a wide range of styles, sizes and designs. There is no set rule that states a traditional room must have a traditional fixture. Homeowners can try their favorite pieces in any room of the home for an unexpected change of modern design.
