- Includes facility map: location pinning of rooms & fixtures for accurate project scope
- Smart-tags photos and videos to specific locations within the facility
- Mobile field software seamlessly transitions to web-based platform to accurately process solutions jobs costs to send directly to the customer
- Web based platform allows detailed reporting capabilities and facilitates quick updates in the event of project changes or adjustments.
360° Camera Technology
Lighting Project with 360° Camera
Check out this Lighting Feature with Advanced Masonry in St. Paul, MN. We utilized the 360° imaging and video to capture the full effects of the color tunable lighting in their offices.
TRC utilizes a special 360° camera when performing Lighting Audits. This technology promotes accuracy (accurate within 2 millimeters of dimensional quality) and allows our project developers to immerse themselves into the environmental without being at the facility. This photo and video imagery can open a world of possibilities for Lighting Audit customers, including a potential virtual walk-through of your jobsite during bid situations, or even just providing bidding members access to the imagery post walk-through to enable more accurate numbers to the customer.
The ability to recall specific site information is crucial in the proper specification of both product and labor on a project. The 360° images allow for verified recall of:
- Fixture spacing
- Mounting or access obstructions & restrictions
- Fixture counts
- Reflectances for developing photometric layouts
- Existing switching
Photometric Layouts
TRC utilizes both of the primary photometric layout software programs in the industry, which are AGi32 and Visual 3D. Both are powerful lighting software programs that require extensive training, certification and knowledge to utilize properly.
Our Lighting Team staff members have extensive retrofit industry experience, CAD training, and multiple team members with their Lighting Industry Certifications (LC).
We utilize this experience and Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) standards while working on these platforms to ensure the customer is getting the proper amount of light for the application in question. The photometric layout software programs are a key differentiator in the accuracy and attention to detail provided in our Lighting Audits.
