COURSE OVERVIEW:

The meaning of smart lighting systems refers to the integration of high-efficiency luminaires with advanced controls, sensors, and communication protocols to deliver the right amount of light exactly when and where it is needed. This course focuses on the transition from static "on-off" illumination to dynamic, data-driven systems that can reduce facility lighting energy consumption by up to seventy percent. By mastering the synergy between LED technology and building automation, participants can enhance user comfort while achieving significant operational cost savings.

The scope of this training encompasses the technicalities of LED chips, drivers, and optical systems, alongside the design of intelligent control networks. It examines the impact of "Daylight Harvesting," occupancy sensing, and task tuning on the overall energy density of commercial and industrial spaces. The course provides a deep dive into communication standards such as DALI, Zigbee, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), providing a comprehensive understanding of how lighting becomes a foundational pillar of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) within smart buildings.

Coverage includes the analysis of "Human-Centric Lighting" (HCL) and its impact on productivity, the implementation of "Circadian Rhythm" programming, and the use of cloud-based analytics for lighting maintenance. The course addresses the critical role of lighting audits, life cycle costing, and regulatory compliance with global energy codes like ASHRAE 90.1. Participants will gain practical expertise in utilizing lighting design software, configuring automated control strategies, and formulating strategic roadmaps for large-scale lighting retrofits in diverse facility environments.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1.  Define the core components and benefits of Smart Lighting Systems.

2.  Evaluate LED technology: Efficacy, Color Rendering (CRI), and L70 Lifespan.

3.  Design lighting layouts utilizing "Daylight Harvesting" techniques.

4.  Implement Occupancy and Vacancy sensing for maximum energy savings.

5.  Utilize "Task Tuning" and "High-End Trim" to reduce unnecessary output.

6.  Contrast DALI, 0-10V, and PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) control protocols.

7.  Design "Human-Centric Lighting" schedules for wellness and productivity.

8.  Integrate lighting systems with Building Management Systems (BMS).

9.  Analyze the ROI and Payback of "Smart" vs. "Standard" LED retrofits.

10.  Utilize IoT sensors within lighting for space utilization analytics.

11.  Conduct a comprehensive Lighting Energy Audit using digital tools.

12.  Formulate a technical roadmap for facility-wide lighting modernization.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Facility Managers, Electrical Engineers, Lighting Designers, Energy Managers, and Building Automation Specialists.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
