CPD - Detailed Design

Detailed design and application

Seminar ref: 105

We are often asked “where should I start?” when applying lighting controls to a project, and this seminar provides the answers.

The seminar looks in detail at the various control approaches and technologies that are available and considers their application to various project types based upon the type of project, the lights sources to be controlled, the degree of flexibility required, and the preferred installation approach.

The seminar acknowledges that one size rarely fits all and that a typical project has many different requirements which are best met by selecting a hardware and control approach that best suits each individual area while forming part of a networked system.

The seminar includes recommendations and optimum design approaches for typical types of projects and building areas, and a sequence of flowcharts and animated schematics guides delegates through the technology and hardware selection process.

The seminar covers the following topics:

• overview of lighting control and management
• what are you trying to achieve?
• range of project applications
• range of flexibility requirements
• range of lamps and light sources
•  range of control technologies – Dali, Lon, BACnet and IP
•  putting it all together
• design and application – where to start your design
• system architecture – how to apply your design
•  regulations and guidelines that will influence your design 

(Building Regs and BREEAM)

• enhancing sustainability through integration
• emergency light testing & monitoring
• how do other people do it?

“Excellent seminar – gave a really a detailed insight”
