Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Interpret lighting requirements

1.1 Evaluate project specifications, parameters and constraints, and confirm with client

1.2 Determine intended facility and space functions and the associated tasks and processes

1.3 Select work resources based on the needs of the project

1.4 Identify key project stakeholders and establish required communication protocols

2. Assess existing orientation and natural light

2.1 Determine natural light and ultraviolet (UV) penetration from site analysis

2.2 Determine aspect and orientation from project brief and building plans

2.3 Examine window treatments and placement for their efficiency in controlling light

2.4 Review selection of colours for walls, ceilings, furnishings and fittings for their effect on raising or lowering the effect of light into the space

2.5 Assess methods of site light control and light control devices for their effect on natural light

3. Determine supplementary lighting requirements

3.1 Identify and assess supplementary lighting sources and their potential to achieve the desired lighting effects

3.2 Assess the practicality and safety requirements for supplementary lighting in the facility

3.3 Research and assess the ongoing maintenance and environmental impact and energy efficiency of potential supplementary lighting

3.4 Identify actual and potential location for supplementary lighting and determine required changes to achieve desired outcomes

3.5 Analyse effect of supplementary lighting on the existing or proposed colour spectrum

4. Generate lighting concepts

4.1 Use creative methodologies to generate lighting concepts and themes

4.2 Assess concepts against the project brief to select most viable solution

4.3 Present concept to client using support documentation suited to the scope of the project

4.4 Discuss ideas with client and modify concept according to feedback

4.5 Select lighting options that meet industry standards and accurately document specifications

5. Revise and refine solution

5.1 Revise and refine lighting concepts through a process of reflection and testing

5.2 Examine environmental aspects of lighting solution and identify and integrate options for improved sustainability

5.3 Research and select appropriate lighting options that meet industry standards

5.4 Select the final lighting design that best meets the requirements of the brief

6. Present lighting solution

6.1 Document lighting solution using industry symbols and conventions for all fittings and components

6.2 Create three dimensional (3D) visualisations of lighting effects using appropriate software

6.3 Develop and document comprehensive schedule for lighting design

6.4 Present lighting solution and clearly explain key features and benefits

6.5 Analyse client feedback and response to determine success in achieving client satisfaction

6.6 Evaluate work through feedback and own reflection, and identify potential improvements for use in future projects
