Description
This unit of competency covers designing lighting for an interior space to achieve lighting effects required by a design brief.Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking interior decoration and design work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Assess project
  • 1.1 Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to researching and recommending lighting design are verified and complied with
  • 1.2 Project brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with client
  • 1.3 Parameters for the project are assessed and confirmed
  • 1.4 Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness
  • 1.5 Communication with others is established and maintained
2 Assess current light sources
  • 2.1 Site analysis is conducted to assess the natural light and artificial light sources
  • 2.2 Project plans and drawings and site documents are analysed to determine current and potential influences on light source
  • 2.3 Factors for consideration are analysed with regards to their impact on lighting
  • 2.4 Environmental sustainability of design is assessed in terms of lighting
  • 2.5 Design is analysed to determine requirements for achieving desired lighting effects
3 Design lighting for interior project
  • 3.1 Research is conducted to determine cost and energy efficient lighting options to meet the requirements of the integrated design solution
  • 3.2 Light fittings and light control devices and their locations are selected and specified on design documentation
  • 3.3 Structural design features are reviewed in terms of effect on lighting and specifications determined to support the overall design solution
  • 3.4 Non-structural design features are reviewed in terms of effect on lighting and potential improvements identified
  • 3.5 Special effects are selected and specified for design
  • 3.6 Electrician is consulted to confirm potential complications with changes to lighting design, estimate costing and determine wiring requirements to implement lighting schedule
  • 3.7 Lighting design is assessed for conformance to industry standards and regulations
4 Draw and present lighting design
  • 4.1 Structural and non-structural design features required to achieve lighting effects are documented on design drawings
  • 4.2 Work and product schedules are developed
  • 4.3 Costing is determined and documented
  • 4.4 Lighting features are presented to client
