Building nightscape lighting design program

Building night lighting design work can be divided into two stages. The first step is to collect data, investigation and analysis, including environmental analysis, image design and on-site investigation; the second stage is based on the specific design work.

Analysis of environment 1

The location:

Understand the specific location design object in the city, and understand the surrounding buildings, roads, bridges, greening, especially the construction planning and development situation in the region.

The light environment around building:

Fully understand the level and characteristics of illumination level surrounding buildings lighting effect and the area.

2 image design

Analysis of building architectural style and image features, understand the architectural design of the architect and some of the lighting requirements, according to the reflection characteristics of the building structure form shape, volume, and external wall colors and materials, decorative details and other characteristics, determine the construction performance and emphasizes the need to focus on the site, which is outstanding the key to determine the lighting equipment; lighting methods and use, conceived the preliminary design scheme of nightscape lighting.

3 field survey

Observed daytime buildings image and artistic effect, to deepen understanding of the design objects in a realistic environment, looking for the light cloth practical place.

The 4 special parts of the lighting

Especially the lighting effects on key parts of the lighting, or the use of new technology and equipment, or the lamp to the special project, or the requirements of Party A, in order to ensure the feasibility of lighting solutions, the need for the necessary field or model experiment. For general engineering, no more than the circumstances, the experimental work can be avoided.

5 design standard

Building facade lighting brightness is the most intuitive standard. CIE recommended in dim, medium and bright night vision environment, the average brightness of the main facade were 4, 6, 12CD / m2.

6 determine light

According to the requirements of the program lighting lamps to be installed to the selected location, layout, elevation curtain wall and then according to the detail provided by Party A, to determine the implementation of the actual situation in this light, sometimes need to do some curtain wall transition support.

7 lighting equipment selection

Source selection should consider the effect of light, luminous flux, color temperature and color of life and other factors. High efficiency requirements for lamps and lanterns, lamp reflector light distribution performance, reasonable, compact and compact structure, reliable waterproof and dustproof performance, and easy installation, commissioning and maintenance.

In design of landscape lighting, not only requires designers to better grasp the knowledge with lighting technology, light color skills and has a certain artistic accomplishment, but also to understand the architecture, aesthetics and electricity, it is a very comprehensive work.
