Industrial and commercial buildings are predominant users of electric lighting. The recommendations of lighting levels, glare limits, and colour rendering are covered by relevant Singapore Standards and should be followed as per Workplace Safety and Health regulations and BCA Green Mark requirements.

Proper lighting facilitates higher productivity, minimises accidents, errors, and fatigue, and enhances the visual comfort of users. At the same time, there is substantial scope to save energy via proper re-lighting design and installation of more energy-efficient light sources, accessories, and luminaires with capabilities of dimming, occupancy sensing, and daylight harvesting. Participants will learn the intricacies of lighting technology and systems to achieve substantial energy savings in the desired premises, given that the new solutions and retrofits are becoming increasingly affordable and easy to install.

Who Should Attend

  • Energy engineers/managers
  • Facilities engineers/managers
  • Engineers/managers who are required to understand electrical installations in all industries
Prerequisites
  • Bachelor degree in engineering or engineering diploma with 2 years of relevant working experience
