Electrical Systems & Lighting

 Electrical Systems & Lighting



    Most of the electricy that goes to the houses come from electrical companies that home owners or business owners pay to get electricy sent to them monthly or yearly depending on the contract that they sign and the impacts that it has in interior design is that amount of lights that the designers chooses for the space or since light causes heat how much air conditioning is neeeded in the space and the sustainability of the building.

the psychology of lighting is effects that it can have on people sinse their many different types of light bulds that have diiferent effects light color can can change the brightnessn such as having low overhead lights with warm color help people relax you can see this in some spas when being massage which help people relax.


The proper terminology ing light is Lamp plus fixture equals luminaire


when deciding the type of designers used the Simple Lumen Method that helps designers known how many light fizxtures are nneded in the space their are other twoi methods that are used in light that are the Watts per square foot method and Lumen method and the computer calsulations that is mostly used by lighting manufactures that is offered online.



On this assignment I look at parts that were hit by the light and see shadows and the tone that the lights give to the space and with the overhead light do give a relaxking and modern sense to the sapce that feels welcoming.

Indoor Environmental Quality

  Indoor Environmental Quality      The acoustics are an important consideration while doing interior design, since the acoustics are how sound travels around a space, and it is important to know, since in commercial spaces, you wouldn't want people to hear important and private information during a meeting. The three main principles of sound control are Noise Reduction coefficient (NRC) and Sound Transmission Class (STC), and Transmission Loss ( TL) Reverberation Time (RT) refers to the sound that builds up over time and can be controlled. This is done in classrooms and auditoriums. image of Reverberation Time  When it comes to acoustical privacy for medical facilities, HIPAA) It is important since hospitals contain private information on their patients, which is crucial that sound doesn't transmit to other areas.

Interior Building Systems

  Interior Building Systems       When working with a building's interior designer, it is essential to know where the wiring will be placed , as most commercial or residential buildings have wiring installed in the walls. Some wiring is required for internet connections or telephone lines, but some people are opting for wireless service instead. When working to make a building energy-efficient and sustainable, we need to collaborate with the HVAC and lighting systems to find ways to conserve energy. Something that interior designers need to consider is visual control for security, much like in hospitals, offices, or stores, where private information or valuable objects are present, necessitating the use of effective security systems and alarms. One type of security system used in prisons, retail malls, and schools is called Lockdown Systems, which electronically closes all doors and shuts down an entire building, pre...
