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. 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.
Lighting projects include:
- Office lighting
- Retail lighting
- Theatrical lighting
- Sports Field lighting

- Roadway lighting
Other Systems
Dell Consulting analyzes each project as defined in NFPA 780 to determine the need for lightning protection. Complete lightning protection design documents and specifications are provided as needed for each project. Our team can also provide assistance in considering alternate means for protection from abnormal events on the power distribution system. Surge Protection devices, lightning arrestor systems, uninterruptable power sources and power conditioners are a few of the options considered to suit the Client’s special requirements.
The Dell Team also offers complete Fire Alarm System design and documentation as required by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72: National Fire Alarm Signaling Code and as a complement to the Life Safety System design requirements.
