We describe a lighting design system driven by sketching on 3D virtual models. Conventional lighting design tools simulate the lighting effects of design decisions such as window locations, surface treatments, and fixture placement. Light Pen takes the inverse approach by allowing the designer to indicate desired illumination on a 3D model. This serves as input to a knowledge-based lighting des...

Rezumat Proiectarea asistată de calculator a sistemelor de iluminat realizează dimensionarea unor instalaţii noi de iluminat cât şi verificarea celor existente, atât pentru sistemele de iluminat interior cât şi pentru sistemele de iluminat exterior. În proiectarea realizată s-a utilizat programul dedicat DiaLux versiunea 4.11. Abstract Computer aided design of lighting systems made new installa...

In this study the photovoltaic system, which is a part of the hybrid system composed of solar and wind turbine also which is being planned to be settled at Söke Vocational School was examined. Primarily the photovoltaic system was settled in order to provide exterior lighting at Vocational school. The power of the photovoltaic system is 560Wp, and also it is able to provide exterior lighting fo...

Preface The Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency of Lighting Installations (Lighting Code) developed by the Electrical & Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) aims to set out the minimum design requirements on energy efficiency of lighting installations. It forms a part of a set of comprehensive Building Energy Codes (BEC) that addresses energy efficiency requirements in building services ins...

In this paper, we present a lighting design framework for glossy real objects, starting from the reflectance field of an object. Using existing digital imaging software, the lighting designer paints the desired illumination distribution on a photograph of an object. This painted-on illumination is used to determine the light intensities which produce a shading of the real object matching the de...

Declarative approaches to lighting design model image quality using an objective function that captures the desired visual properties of an object or scene. The value of the objective function is optimized for a particular camera configuration through the manipulation of the lighting parameters of a scene. We review the notion of declarative lighting design, and introduce LightOp, a tool by whi...

Lighting can be better integrated to the architectural design process through computational tools that are capable enough to visualize and analyze the luminous environment accurately. This paper describes an image-based lighting analysis procedure that operates with high dynamic range lighting data for evaluating architectural spaces. The discussions mainly refer to visual and metrological aspe...
