Course Description

In this course, participants will find out what it is possible to do with DIALux 4.12. Using this software with its high-performance features they can achieve the targets they are aiming for in lighting design. They can produce professional documentation with explicit calculations and good images. Participants will also learn how to create an interaction between indoor and outdoor scene. Their calculation will consider daylight and control it. 

Course Objectives

  • Learning about all the features and functionalities of DIALUX
  • Learning how to use the DIALUX program to design lighting schemes
  • Understanding of lighting technologies, energy efficiency and color rendering
  • Being familiar with emergency lighting as well as outdoor lighting requirements
