SUSTAINABLE COMMERCIAL LIGHTING DESIGN – DIALux EVO – Level 5 Award Qualification from ABSD ( recognised by Engineers Ireland)

Description

SUSTAINABLE COMMERCIAL LIGHTING DESIGN / DIALux EVO LEVEL 5 AWARD QUALIFICATION.

Lighting adds emotion to spaces and makes the difference between a mere building and a vibrant, living place where people meet and interact with each other.

Our Commercial Lighting Design qualification shows participants how to use the DIALux EVO lighting design program, from installation of software, basic room design through to irregular rooms with furniture and other basic building elements; offices, industrial buildings, car parks and roadways; incorporating CAD drawings into DIALux EVO; emergency lighting; energy-saving lighting control systems (analog and digital), and spill lighting control.

1.1 Apply the common reasons to dim light output from a luminaire to achieve energy-saving.
1.2 Apply the use of timers, daylight sensing, occupancy sensing and/or traffic flow sensing to control switching and/or dimming of lighting within different zones, including use of DALI.
1.3 Incorporate the commonest types of lamps and how they can be dimmed in a variety of ways.

2. Understand systems for emergency lighting.

2.1 Apply the common emergency lighting signs in lighting designs.
2.2 Design emergency lighting for escape routes, including external ones, with sufficient lighting for people to see their way out safely for up to 3 hours.
2.3 Incorporate various emergency lighting systems in lighting designs.

No Examinations
One of the benefits of the course is that there is no examination.

All the practical course design exercises are completed during the course.

Course Duration and Entry

The course runs over two full days.

Entry is open – no prior qualifications are required to join the course.

QUALIFICATION

Participants receive the ABSD Awards Level 5 (IRL) Award in Sustainable Commercial Lighting Design.

This qualification is recognised by Engineers Ireland for Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
