Lighting is a principal user of electrical energy in commercial buildings that directly affects economy. Typically, lighting requires about 30 percent of energy consumption in commercial sector. Energy efficient and effective lighting may be achieved by using all the facilities that are upgraded with advanced hardware, but the definition and distinction between efficient and effective should be well understood. The significance of this project is to conduct the project workflow within power system studies and analysis area. The results of lighting design are used to size protection device such as miniature circuit breaker (MCB). The fundamental of lighting design is very important since engineers are responsible to ensure that the lighting design is effective in terms of light quality and cost effectiveness. Therefore, the selection of light fittings shall be based on illumination level requirement, application, and dimension of the area. The project also shall fulfill the project intent that is to have efficient and effective lighting system as well as maintaining high quality in lighting performance. Since theproject intent is to learn and design the lighting system byusing systematic approach, the lighting design software package namely CALCULUX is used for this project. The methodology to be used in this project is outlined as follows: i) Conceptual design ii) Gathering ofnecessary data and manual calculations iii) Lighting simulation iv) Lighting circuiting v) Lighting panel schedule vi) Design calculation ofMCB iv
