Among the energy types, the cost of electrical energy is quite high. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the consumption of electricity. In our country, the Energy Efficiency Law No. 5627 was published in the Official Gazette No. 25610 dated May 2, 2007 and entered into force. With this law, an Energy Identity Certificate has been made mandatory for the buildings. The purpose of this Law; It is to increase efficiency in the use of energy resources and energy in order to use energy effectively, to prevent waste, to alleviate the burden of energy costs on the economy, and to protect the environment [1].
Lighting energy saving is achieved not by turning off some lamps, but by providing the required minimum and homogeneous illumination level without sacrificing vision. The increase in the brightness level is directly proportional to the increase in the visual performance. Increasing the illuminance level with the right technical lighting has many benefits besides the cost [2].
Lighting design is also very effective on psychology. Non-technical lighting design and lighting pollution; health problems such as eye pain, stress, fatigue complaints, even can cause errors and accidents.
For example; With the increase of illuminance from 300 lux to 2000 lux in the metal industry; There was a 52% decrease in Work Accidents and a 29% decrease in faulty products. An average of 8% increase in work efficiency was observed with the increase of the illuminance level from 300 lux to 500 lux.
In lighting design; Design should be made by considering environmental conditions and durability, longevity, CRI, glare, flicker, lux and light temperature transitions in space transitions.
CRI (Color Rendering Index) is the percentage evaluation of artificial light according to color losses when daylight (100%) is accepted as a reference. If the CRI value is under that light source, it is possible to see the environment and objects close to or even equal to their natural state. In normal living spaces, a CRI of over 80% can enable us to see colors effectively. However, in places where colors are more important (such as boutiques, hairdressers, textile shops, galleries), products with a CRI above 90% should be preferred.
Photometric flicker can be defined as the instantaneous light intensity change in illumination. Photometric tremor affects our health, and in its long-term effects it has been observed to affect visual performance and comfort, trigger migraines, cause headaches and dizziness, and even nausea.
Advantages of correctly designed technical lighting with LED lighting; They do not contain toxic chemicals, are not dangerous for the environment, are resistant to shock, vibration and other external factors, provide ease of maintenance, do not require bulb replacement. Led lightings are expected to work 50,000 hours according to real working conditions. Lighting or bulb replacement is a big problem, especially in areas where devices are located. Camera images can be taken more clearly due to CRI and lux values.
The steps we follow during the lighting design or transformation;
Step 1
Evaluating work safety and working conditions, making feasibility and determining the minimum illumination level that should be.
Step 2
With the lighting selected according to the determined level of illumination, in a professional light program, to the extent that the spaces are suitable; determining the heights and spacings at which the lightings should be installed.
Step 3
Protection according to environmental conditions, that is, determination of IP class.
Step 4
Working hours of production areas, office areas and other areas, evaluation of the daylight conditions of the spaces.
Step 5
Establishment of the appropriate automation system by considering the working hours and the use of sunlight
