As seen above the average estimated illumination for all my example spaces is above the target illumination based on target type.

For some reason my average Illuminance is coming as 0 for all my spaces. For this reason, I don’t know if the number of lighting fixtures in each room are enough or more are required. Turns out my space limit offsets were incorrect.
