Module Overview

The online module Lighting Design is focused on practical aspects of design and contains:

• Latest information on the standards and guidelines used in lighting design, including LG7 and Part L
• Guidance on how to meet these requirements in an innovative way.
• Sections on lighting control systems and instructions with regard to lamp technologies

The module is written by subject matter experts and developed in association with the leading engineering universities, colleges, employers and Sector Skills Councils.

Aim

The aim of this module is to provide engineers/project managers with a better understanding of the design methods used for indoor lighting applications and working knowledge of the lighting design standards.

Target Audience

• Engineers with limited experience in lighting design
• Project managers, who are new to working with lighting designers and specialists
• New graduates entering the profession and those with a gap in experience

Topics Covered

• An outline of lighting: design for good lighting, criteria for design, factors affecting good lighting
• Glossary of terms used: design terms, lighting references, luminaire data sheets
• Introduction to lighting calculation methods: Point by Point method, Lumen method, basic design examples
• Energy efficient lighting sources: incandescent and tungsten halogen; fluorescent; high intensity discharge;
• high pressure mercury, metal halide, low and high pressure sodium; LEDs; energy efficiency design
• Lighting controls: basic electrical theory; dimming methods ; switching methods (relays, solid state) ; lighting control protocols and functions; daylight linking; occupancy sensing; time scheduling; load shedding
• Lighting control hardware
• Regulations and standards of lighting control
• Energy appraisal for design choices: design for minimum energy consumption
