• Carry out basic calculations associated with the lighting requirements, electric power demand and distribution
in a building;
• Utilise the applicable Standards in the process of designing electrical building services;
• Prepare basic technical documentation of a new building services system.
• Assess the technology used in the existing installations and determine the modernisation options;
• Liaise with other building professionals;
• Address sustainability requirements.

 WHAT IS BUILDING SERVICES
ENGINEERING?

• Everything inside a building which makes it safe and comfortable comes

under the title of 'Building services'. A building must do what it was designed
to do - not just provide shelter but also be an environment where people can
live, work and achieve their goals.
These services are divided into two categories:
• Electrical building services
• Mechanical building services

 ELECTRICAL BUILDING SERVICES
ENGINEERING
Electrical building services engineering include:
• Electrical Lighting
• Electricity distribution and integration of renewable sources
• Backup power supply
• Security and alarm systems
• Fire detection and protection
• Lightning protection
• Communications, telephones and IT networks

 DAY 2 - SESSION 1 – LIGHTING
DESIGN
“DESIGN” IS THE SCIENCE AND ART OF MAKING THINGS USEFUL TO HUMANKIND,
AND LIGHTING DESIGN IS THE APPLICATION OF LIGHTING TO HUMAN SPACES.
LIGHTING DESIGN RELIES ON A COMBINATION OF SPECIFIC SCIENTIFIC
PRINCIPLES, ESTABLISHED STANDARDS AND CONVENTIONS, AND A NUMBER OF
AESTHETIC, CULTURAL AND HUMAN FACTORS APPLIED IN AN ARTFUL MANNER.

 LIGHTING DESIGN – SESSION 1
What is light?
• Light is part of the electromagnetic
spectrum that stretches from cosmic rays
to radio waves. Most of the spectrum is
invisible to the human eye.
• However, at the wavelength region
between 380–780 nanometers,
Photoreceptors in the human eye absorb
energy in this wavelength range and
thereby initiate the process of seeing.

 LIGHTING DESIGN – SESSION 1

The Measurement of Light

• The most fundamental measure of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a
source is its radiant flux. This is the rate of flow of energy emitted and is
measured in watts and the most fundamental quantity used to measure light is
luminous flux and is measured in Lumens(lm).

The Measurement of Light

• Illuminance is the luminous flux falling
on unit area of a surface. The unit of
measurement of illuminance is the
lumen/m2 or lux.
• The illuminance incident on a surface is
the most widely used electric lighting
design criterion. TYPICAL ILLUMINANCES ON DIFFERENT SURFACES UNDER THE

Glare
• Glare is the sensation produced by bright areas in the
field of view, and may be experienced either as
discomfort glare or as disability glare
• Discomfort glare results in an instinctive desire to look
away from a bright light source or difficulty in seeing a
task.
• Disability glare impairs the vision of objects without
necessarily causing discomfort. This could arise for
instance when driving westward at sunset.
• Bright light sources can cause glare and impair the
vision of objects. Suitable shielding of lamps and the
shading of windows with blinds can eliminate this effect

Lighting Requirements for Different Spaces

• Lighting requirement varies depending on the task being performed in the
location. Below are typical lighting requirements for different locations.
• Living rooms – 200lux
• Bedrooms – 50 to 100lux
• Toilets – 100lux
• Offices – 300lux
• Design studio & libraries – 500lux
• Operating theatre – 1000lux

Energy Efficiency in Lighting design
• Energy efficiency is the goal to reduce the amount of energy required to provide
products and services.
• Electric lighting makes up for about 20% of electricity consumption in households.
• Traditional incandescent bulbs use a lot of energy to produce light and 90% of the
energy is given off as heat and that lost energy is money wasted
• Newer energy-saving lightbulbs are more efficient and provide choices in colours
and light levels.

 LIGHTING DESIGN – SESSION 1
Information Required for Effective Lighting Design
In order to effectively design a lighting solution, these key information must be
available to the designer:
• Function of the spaces
• Dimensions of the area or building including headroom where applicable
• Ceiling finishes
• Budget for the project
• Type of partitioning in the building
