Does lighting in electrical design include lighting inside buildings?
Thread Content
There has always been a question: in the design of chemical plants, the electrical design includes provisions for interior lighting within the facilities as well as for lightning protection and anti-static grounding. Then is the lighting and panel systems inside the buildings where these facilities are located also part of the electrical engineering design? Are the road lights in the facility also designed by electrical specialists?
Yes, electrical design typically includes the lighting for both the interior and exterior of buildings, as well as the lighting design for facilities such as street lamps. Lightning and static electricity protection grounding design also falls under the category of electrical design. .
However, the architectural design firm is also responsible for the interior lighting design of the building; so where is the boundary between the two parties?
It depends on the scope of work assigned to the subcontractor; if you assign it to the architectural design firm, then it will be the electrical engineering team of that firm that handles the design. The civil engineering department does not handle electrical matters.
I see. But sometimes, the design of the building is not carried out by the same company as that responsible for the design of the chemical processing equipment; it is necessary to clarify with the client what each party’s scope of responsibility is
