LIGHTING DESIGN

1. LIGHTING DESIGN

 

OUR ONLY TOOL IS LIGHT

Lighting has been responsible to dictate the patterns of life and architecture since the inception of mankind. At ECC International, we perceive vibrant opportunities in the spaces between darkness and light. Our innovative and specific lighting designs create inspiring architectural environments that encourage people and businesses to flourish. Our approach to light is an integral architectural material which form the color and texture of our surroundings.

A. Lighting Studies

 

Design phases consist of below stages:

Concept Design Phase

Every project concept carefully considers the experience we create for people alongside functionality, the practical considerations of costs, ease of Maintenance and the sustainability of design.

Design Development Phase

During this stage all the existing lighting documents are further refined and developed. Design development turns conceptual ideas into design details and suggestions for lighting equipment and material finishes.

Construction / Documentation Phase

This stage is responsible for the finalization of the complete lighting packages which consists of lighting layouts, specifications, BOQ’s, Load Schedules, control schedules, vendor lists and final budgets for the procurement of the lighting systems.

Site Coordination & Implementing Lighting Design

In this stage our team supports the construction team, including attendance on site, and quick responses to the coordination and installation issues. Through continuous evaluation and assisting commissioning, programming and focusing of the light fixtures we ensure timely and successful delivery of the lighting concept.

 

B. Day-lighting Studies

 

Day-lighting, or using sunlight to illuminate your building is an effective way to both decrease your building’s energy use and make the interior environment more comfortable for people.
With increasing energy costs and an increasing number of green-building certifications across globe, daylight studies have become invaluable tool to forecast daylight ingress in buildings, in order to plan harvesting studies and develop lighting control strategies.

 

C. Light Fixture Design

 

In order to give life to the particular designs of architects and designers sometimes the standard light fixtures are not enough and therefore we coordinate with our partners of Lighting Manufacturers, façade and material specialists to complete the process from design phase to prototyping till mass production for the accomplishment of the true design.

The procedure of creating a customized light fixture goes through the following steps.

  • Design Brief from Architect / Consultant
  • Concept & Specification
  • Research & Development
  • Photometric Testing
  • Lux Level Testing
  • Final Design
  • Manufacture
  • First Install
