Abstract: In this paper, a team of authors examined issues aimed at the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems for solving problems associated with the choice of the optimal parameters of artificial lighting systems. The object of research is the process of designing lighting systems. As a subject of study, the development of conceptual approaches to the formalization and automation of the processes that determine the choice of radiation parameters in rooms is determined. In particular, issues related to determining the relationship of approaches to the design of lighting parameters for traditional lighting systems and lighting systems with controlled radiation parameters are considered. The subject of the research is to determine the mechanisms for optimizing the parameters of the lighting system based on traditional criteria of the light environment and the criteria associated with the impact on human circadian rhythms, the formalization of development processes and the results of the design of lighting modes in an automated mode. The results of the study are a conceptual description of the method for automating the design of lighting modes for systems with controlled radiation parameters, as well as a preliminary presentation of the format of the output of the design results, which in the future ensures the availability of the output of the design results in both the traditional print form and the form prepared for broadcast in software code based on the respective programming interfaces of the lighting devices.

Abstract: The object of the study is the process of computer-aided design of artificial lighting systems. The study was made on the possibility of improving its effectiveness through the application of the concepts of methods outlined in the article: automation the selection of operating modes of lighting devices with controlled emission spectrum, methods for optimizing the placement of lighting devices in particular by using specialized robotic complexes. In the paper the authors reviews problems the solution of which is caused by the development of technical progress in the field of lighting engineering and automation systems. The appearance of LED lamps with the possibility of automated control of lighting parameters as well as the availability of modern automation and robotics poses new challenges for design professionals and at the same time opens up new opportunities to reduce the amount of manual labor in the design process. In the course of the study, the existing solutions in the field of automated design of internal artificial lighting systems were analyzed. The system solution aimed at facilitating and increasing the efficiency of the processes of construction design is suggested. The result of the study is in conceptual description of three new methods aimed at improving the efficiency of CAD in construction. As the first method, the concept of automation of the procedure for preparing project solutions is presented. This concept is applied in terms of the choice of modes of operation of smart lighting systems, depending on the criteria for the specificity of the work in the room, the physiological impact and the specified indicators of the energy efficiency of the lighting system. The second method is the optimization of the procedure for automated placement of lighting devices in the development of appropriate design solutions. The third method is the concept of automatic survey of premises and the transfer of data to CAD to generate the initial data for the relevant design decisions. In the final part of the article, the method of combining these solutions within the framework of the system approach is considered and the assumption is made about the urgency of a more detailed elaboration of these solutions.
