Electrical Engineering Lighting Loads

Asked by DJGos in AutoCAD Software

I am looking for a piece of software that will run lighting loads on a building via a provided AutoCAD DWG file.  There are a few requirements that I need this software to be able to do.  

1. The program needs to have a way to do an entire building at one time instead of creating a project for every room.

2. I need it to be able to output reports on a room by room basis that includes all the information for each room (Lighting Loads, Sq Feet, Room Names, etc.).

3. A necessity for the program is that the software has to export to a XLS/CSV/TXT document.

4. It also needs to have a way to import IES files for the program to run the calculations on.  

So in fact, I am not looking for a fancy program that will draw a 3D representation of what the room will look like when the lights are in the room.  Instead, I am looking for a Calculation program that will output data.

Any help would be appreciated.Start Free Trial
