Making global lighting settings

When you load lighting data from template you should consider that DesignBuilder sets the lighting output from the lights based on:

 

a) Lighting system efficiency (W/m2/100 lux) using data from the lighting template and,

b) Illuminance levels required in the zone as set on the Activity tab.

 

If you have many types of activity in the building you can load lighting data for each zone taking into account the required illuminance level in the zone by selecting the appropriate zones in the Target tab.
