Lighting simulation

Lighting simulation utilises complex computer software to build accurate models of interior lighting design in future building projects. It enables architects and designers to experiment with and manipulate artificial and natural light to find energy-efficient lighting design solutions during the planning stage.

In today’s competitive market, energy-efficient lighting design is as crucial as creating environments that enhance visual comfort and support the well-being of building occupants. By leveraging sustainable lighting optimization solutions and advanced simulations, it is possible to achieve the ideal balance of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetic appeal during the building's planning phase. These solutions harness natural light and incorporate customizable controls, enabling users to tailor lighting settings to different needs and times of the day.

Recent advancements, such as the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and automated lighting controls, have revolutionized lighting design, offering highly precise and sophisticated solutions. By analyzing energy consumption across various lighting plans, decision-makers can adopt strategies that are both cost-effective and sustainable. Additionally, maximizing natural light utilization can reduce energy costs by up to 60% compared to traditional lighting methods.

Our advanced simulator programmes use data to create photorealistic scenarios that use natural light in buildings to reduce light energy consumption. With it, you can experiment with and optimise lighting designs before implementation to find the perfect balance.

As lighting technologies evolve, so do the standards and regulations governing their use. Designers must ensure that their lighting plans comply with the latest industry standards and environmental regulations, which can vary widely by region and change over time.

For 160 years, our experts have created innovative, safe, and sustainable lighting solutions. We use tubular daylighting devices (TDD), translucent wall systems, and centralised lighting control systems to develop effective interior lighting design plans.

We provide the technology, data, and expertise to help architects and designers find solutions that reduce light energy consumption by maximising the use of natural light in buildings. Our range of advisory services include:

• Collaboratively designing a lighting optimisation plan.
• Assessing lighting design strategies on different building design envelopes.
• Finding solutions that balance heat changes, control glare, and improve visual quality while maximising the use of natural lighting.
• Providing accurate and reliable data through simulation software and scientific technique.
