Lighting
The standard project incorporates lighting design. The Dell design team utilizes the latest lighting design software to simulate and model the actual lighting conditions for the project. Space-by-space reports are generated for recording photometric and power density information. This attention to detail ensures every space is correctly illuminated while maximizing energy efficiency.   If desired by the client, daylight harvesting, automatic scene controls, dimming, occupancy sensing, or other control functions can be integrated into the design. In addition, all projects are reviewed by the team for compliance with the latest Energy Conservation Codes.
