It is well established that mankind needs light for life and for carrying out visual tasks at workplace, home and places for leisure. The light for this visual activity can be natural (daylight) and artificial (electric) light source. To help in the reduction of carbon emissions the electric lighting needs to be provided energy efficiently by using the right light in the right place at the right time provided by the right lighting system. This means having the right lighting criteria, the right lighting scheme for the place, installed and operated by the right lighting system consisting of lamps, ballast, luminaires and controls.

The objective of this course is to cover the important considerations and requirements for energy efficient lighting solutions. The learning objectives and structure are set out in four parts.

Session 1: Regulations, Codes and Specifications

• The lighting requirements for places,
• The regulations on energy efficiency in lighting
• The selection of lighting design techniques,
• The information needed for scheme design

Session 2: Technologies and systems

• Lamps,
• Ballasts
• Luminaires
• Lighting controls

Session 3: Design tools and applications

• The characteristics and role of lighting techniques and technologies
• The methodologies for establishing energy requirements for lighting
• The relevant measures
• The selection of optimised solutions

Session 4: Design process and lighting practice

• Lighting scheme designs
• Calculations of energy requirements
• Calculations of energy efficiency
• The carbon footprint of lighting installations
