AI for Lighting Design
AI applications for architectural and engineering lighting design.
Definition
AI for lighting design helps engineers and designers create effective lighting solutions. AI can optimize fixture placement, verify lighting levels, and ensure energy code compliance. This improves lighting design efficiency and quality.
In Depth
Lighting design balances illumination quality, energy efficiency, aesthetics, and code compliance. AI assists with the photometric analysis, power density calculations, and control system design that lighting designers perform for every project.
The power density calculation verifies that the lighting design meets the applicable energy code power density limit. AI sums the connected lighting load for each space and compares it against the allowable power density from the energy code (IECC or ASHRAE 90.1), identifying spaces where the design exceeds the limit and suggesting fixture alternatives that would bring it into compliance.
Examples
Optimizing fixture placement
Verifying lighting levels
Checking lighting power density
