DIALux-Driven ## Compliance to AS/NZS 1680 We execute high-fidelity photometric calculations using **DIALux**, allowing clients to visualize luminous environments before purchase. Our designs guarantee complete compliance with **AS/NZS 1680** standards, ensuring optimal visual comfort and workplace safety across all projects. We also handle detailed lighting fixture selection, aligning perfectly with interior design requirements and architectural RCP plans to deliver visually stunning, energy-compliant spaces. Scope of Work ## Energy-compliant by design ### DIALux Photometrics High-fidelity simulation of lux levels, uniformity and glare control. ### J7 Lighting Power Density Rigorous J7 LPD calculations for residential and commercial properties to meet NCC requirements. ### Fixture Selection & RCP Luminaire selection aligned to interior design and the architect's RCP plans. Standards: **AS/NZS 1680 · NCC (National Construction Code)** FAQ ## Lighting & photometrics (AS/NZS) — common questions ### What is AS/NZS 1680 lighting compliance? AS/NZS 1680 is the Australian/New Zealand interior and workplace lighting standard. We run high-fidelity DIALux photometric calculations to guarantee compliant lux levels, uniformity and glare control for visual comfort and workplace safety. ### Do you provide J7 Lighting Power Density calculations? Yes. We produce rigorous Section J (J7) Lighting Power Density (LPD) calculations for residential and commercial properties to meet National Construction Code (NCC) energy-efficiency requirements. ### Which software do you use for AU/NZ lighting design? Primarily DIALux for high-fidelity photometric simulation, letting clients visualize the luminous environment before a single fixture is purchased. ### Do you handle fixture selection and RCP coordination? Yes. Luminaire selection is aligned to interior-design intent and the architect's Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP) to deliver visually striking, energy-compliant spaces. Photometric Sandbox · Live ## See the light before it's installed. Drag the colour-temperature slider to warm or cool a lit space in real time — then flip on the simulated DIALux false-colour map to read illuminance (lux) across the floor, exactly as we deliver it in a photometric study. 0 lx 600+ lx Colour temperature 4000 K Luminaire output 100% DIALux false-colour heatmapIlluminance mapped blue → red **—**Avg lux **—**Max lux **—**Min lux Procedural demo — a 12-luminaire grid over a 12 × 8 m space at 3 m mounting height, illuminance by inverse-square law with cosine falloff. Real SYMATEQ studies use manufacturer IES files in DIALux / AGi32. ## Energy-efficient, code-compliant lighting Visualize and verify before installation.
