The design process determines the final luminaire selection for the project and as such requires detailed knowledge of the products available for selection.

We at Concept Lighting Architecture are able to offer a comprehensive fully involved design process to our customers. From the initial meetings between Client / Architects / Engineers the brief is developed.  We can then provide a full design, specification, product data sheets and estimated pricing.  Or we can simply provide the necessary information such as photometric data and assist you to make the best selections.

Using DIALux calculation software we are able to model the space to be illuminated in 3D, providing highly accurate results.  We then assess the output results agianst the requirements of the brief, and check compliance with the appropriate New Zealand standards for illuminaition levels, uniformity, glare, illuminace ratios and power density. 

A variety of outputs are available; from customised reports and spreadsheets to 3D images and isoline plots, we offer standard collections of these in booklet form dependant on the level of information required.  These can be presented in printed form or as a pdf.  Additionally dxf or dwg files can be outputted to enable quick inputting of the layout into the existing drawings along with the luminaire legend.

 

Should you choose to fully involve us in the design process we are able to provide a performance guarantee that we will deliver the design results within the allowable tolerances. Additionally we offer the security of our Professional Indemnity insurance.

> 2. Concept added to the project drawing distribution list. Concept to complete draft design, presentation booklet and dwg output.

> 3. Review meeting to assess selection of luminaires, light levels, power density and other design results with respect to the appropriate standards or client requests.

> 4. Concept completes any re-calculations if required and re-presents the design.

> 5. If any changes are made to the room geometry, ceiling heights and type, glazing, surface finishes or furniture/task areas, re-calculations will need to be performed.
