Good lighting aims at illuminating the task effectively and the general surroundings appropriately. Good lighting design enhances architecture but energy-efficient lighting design enhances both the design and the performance of building. Energy-efficient lighting design focuses on methods and materials that improve both quality and efficiency of lighting. A good lighting design should be able to provide desired quantity and quality of light at minimum energy consumption. Lighting contributes to significant energy consumption in buildings. In air conditioned buildings lighting energy consumption may be as high as 20-25% of total energy consumed, whereas in non-air conditioned buildings, share of lighting energy consumption may be as high as 60% of net energy consumption. Hence it is important to design and operate lighting systems efficiently.

PHILIPS is one of prominent leaders in lighting innovations in the industry and TERI has long standing experience in enabling energy efficient lighting solutions for buildings and outdoor applications. PHILIPS Lighting Academy (PLA) and TERI have joined hands to offer this unique course on sustainable lighting solutions that shall enable participants understand the tools and techniques of efficient and effective lighting solutions, enable understanding of GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment: The National Rating System for Green Buildings in India )requirement for energy efficient lighting including integration of control strategies as per requirements of the Energy Conservation Building Code of India. The course has balanced content of theory and practical exercises. Participants shall be given exposure to use of software tools for design of efficient lighting systems. Practical training on audit of existing lighting system and derivation of retrofit solutions shall be done. The course shall have emphasis on indoor lighting solutions with choosing a light source and design challenges for Net-Zero Energy buildings.

Energy efficient lighting is also visually pleasing:

The USP of the course is to reinstate the above with suitable examples and cases.

The faculty shall be drawn from renowned lighting professionals from PLA and TERI.
