Having produced a new piece of research which will be important to virtually all members, CIBSE is making it available free to members via the CIBSE website at www.cibse.org.
Benchmarking lighting design software provides reference data sets that can be used to benchmark the performance of lighting design software packages. It is intended for use by both developers and users of lighting design software to give them a benchmark against which they can assess the performance of their simulation packages.
If you use software to do lighting design calculations, you need to be confident that the software you are using will produce reasonable results. This free publication from CIBSE helps you to assess the performance of lighting design software. As use of design calculation software becomes ubiquitous, the accuracy of results produced by building services software is becoming of wider interest.
Use of Benchmarking lighting design software will help improve the performance of lighting installations in offices, helping attain the results required by clients and end-users. It will also help you produce more energy efficient and economic lighting designs for both new and existing stock being refurbished. This will make a valuable contribution to targets for enhanced energy efficiency and reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
