Lighting Cost

Lighting tab in model data

 

The electric lighting cost is calculated zone by zone by multiplying the zone floor area by the cost per floor area (GIFA) for the zone on the Lighting tab. This data will normally be loaded from the Lighting template to ensure that lighting performance and cost data are consistent.

Tip: The Cost data help topic provides an overview of the places in DesignBuilder where costs are entered.

Cost per area

Enter the cost per floor area (GIFA) for the lighting system.
