Design of Illumination, Earthing and Lightning Protection

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of key building services essential for safe and efficient electrical design, focusing on illumination systems, earthing, lightning protection, and backup power solutions. Learners will begin with fundamental electrical calculations and progress to designing UPS and battery systems that ensure continuity of supply for critical loads. The course also covers earthing systems, lightning and surge protection, emphasizing safety, fault management, and equipment protection. In addition, learners will explore the principles of lighting design, including illumination calculations, fixture selection, and control strategies for energy-efficient buildings. By the end of the course, learners will be able to design lighting systems based on lux requirements, develop effective earthing and protection schemes, and size UPS systems for reliable operation. They will also understand how these systems integrate within a building’s overall electrical infrastructure. What makes this course unique is its practical, design-oriented approach, combining core theory with real-world applications and decision-making scenarios. Completing this course equips learners with critical skills for roles in electrical design, building services, and smart infrastructure engineering. Target learners: • Graduate engineers seeking practical knowledge in Smart Building Electrical & ELV systems. • Design consultants and project engineers working on building and infrastructure projects. • Commissioning, maintenance, and facility professionals involved in smart building technologies.
