As has been indicated in the previous point, users can establish the lighting requirements the installation is to meet. Now, it is also possible to import the lighting requirements corresponding to certain codes. This way, users can verify that the code requirements are met without having to introduce the corresponding limit values one by one.
- EN 12464-1 (EU)
- CTE DB HE 3 and CTE DB SUA 4 (Spain)
- RECS (Portugal)
EN 12464-1 (UE)
As of the 2018.g version, users can import the lighting requirements of the EN 12464-1 code (Light and lighting – Lighting of workplaces. Part 1: Indoor workplaces) to the general parameters of the application.
To do so, the user license must contain the permit corresponding to this code, which is the same as that which provides access to CYPELUX EN, and the lighting checks of indoor workplaces that are carried out by CYPELUX CTE and CYPELUX RECS.
CTE DB HE 3 and CTE DB SUA 4 (Spain)
The 2018.g version of CYPELUX EN allows users to import the requirements stated in the “Código Técnico de la Edificación” (CTE) of Spain. These are included in the following “Documentos Básicos” and Part 1 of the EN 12464 code:
- CTE DB HE 3 (Spain)
Código Técnico de la Edificación. Documento básico de Ahorro de energía. Sección 3 – Eficiencia Energética de las Instalaciones de Iluminación. - CTE DB SUA 4 (Spain)
Código Técnico de la Edificación. Documento básico de Seguridad de utilización y accesibilidad. Sección 4 – Seguridad frente al riesgo causado por iluminación inadecuada. - EN 12464-1 (EU)
Light and lighting – Lighting of workplaces. Part 1: Indoor workplaces.
To verify the correct lighting of indoor workplaces, the CTE DB HE 3 refers to the EN 12464-1 code.
To be able to import these code limits, the user license must include the modules to use CTE DB HE 3 and CTE DB SUA 4, which are the same that allow for CYPELUX CTE to be used and the Lighting tab of CYPECAD MEP.
RECS (Portugal)
It is also possible to import the lighting requirements of point 9 of the Portuguese code “Regulamento de Desempenho Energético dos Edificios de Comércio e Serviços”. The application will verify the Lighting Power Density limit levels every 100 lux (DPI/100lux) in each zone and bearing in mind the control factors due to occupancy and availability of natural light.
To be able to import these code limits, the user license must contain the same permits that provide access to CYPELUX RECS.
