Language: ENGLISH
Instructors: BHADANIS MEP ONLINE TRAINING INSTITUTE FOR CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
Validity Period: 365 days
Why this course?
In the modern world of construction, lighting and electrical layout planning form the backbone of both residential and commercial projects. Whether it’s a small apartment or a high-rise office tower, the quality of lighting, the neatness of cable routing, and the accuracy of conduit planning determine not only the building’s safety but also its long-term maintainability and visual comfort.
This professional certification course — “Lighting, Cable Routing, and Conduit Layout Planning for Residential & Commercial Projects” — is designed to help civil, electrical, and MEP professionals gain deep, practical knowledge of how to design, plan, and execute electrical layouts effectively.
The course is structured into 10 comprehensive modules, each focusing on a specific technical area with hands-on site-level insights. It combines conceptual understanding with real-world planning, installation, and inspection practices.
Every electrical system begins with a clear understanding of its foundation. In this module, participants learn how a building’s electrical framework is structured — from power sources and distribution to lighting and outlet planning.
1.1 Basics of Electrical Systems in Buildings:
This section explains how electricity flows through a building — from the main panel to sub-distribution boards, lighting circuits, and individual points. You’ll understand the relationship between single-phase and three-phase systems, and how loads are distributed across circuits.
1.2 Difference Between Residential and Commercial Electrical Layouts:
Residential layouts focus on comfort, safety, and aesthetics, while commercial setups require flexibility, scalability, and higher load management. This submodule highlights these differences and teaches how design standards vary accordingly.
1.3 Coordination Between Architecture, Electrical, and Structural Drawings:
You’ll learn how to align conduit routes with architectural walls, coordinate with beam and slab designs, and avoid clashes with plumbing and HVAC systems.
Lighting design is more than placing fixtures — it’s about achieving proper illumination and energy efficiency.
2.1 Principles of Illumination and Lighting Levels (Lux Values):
Understand how to calculate and interpret lux values required for living rooms, offices, corridors, or industrial spaces. This section covers lighting standards as per different occupancy types.
2.2 Fixture Selection: Indoor, Outdoor, and Decorative Lighting:
Explore the types of fixtures used in residential vs. commercial projects — including downlights, pendant lights, streetlights, and façade lighting. Learn where and how to use each fixture type effectively.
2.3 Lighting Layout Preparation and Circuit Distribution Methods:
Learn how to prepare balanced lighting layouts using logical grouping of circuits. Understand how lighting points are connected to switches, dimmers, and sensors for ease of operation and maintenance.
Cables are the arteries of electrical systems. Their routing and installation impact both safety and performance.
3.1 Classification of Electrical Cables (LV, MV, Control, Communication):
Learn the types of cables used in different systems — lighting, power, data, and control — and understand their insulation, size, and rating.
3.2 Cable Route Selection Criteria and Load Segregation:
This section teaches how to decide the most efficient path for cable runs while maintaining separation between lighting, power, and communication lines.
3.3 Methods of Cable Installation – Trays, Trenches, and Concealed Runs:
Understand surface mounting, cable tray routing, and underground runs. You’ll also learn when to use concealed conduits in residential interiors for neat finishes.
Conduit systems protect cables and simplify maintenance. Planning them accurately during early stages helps prevent rework later.
4.1 Types of Conduits (PVC, GI, EMT, Flexible, Underground):
Explore different conduit materials and where each is most suitable. Learn how flexibility, cost, and environmental factors influence conduit selection.
4.2 Conduit Routing in Walls, Slabs, and Ceilings:
This section shows how to plan conduit layouts considering slab reinforcement, wall chases, and ceiling voids — ensuring no damage during concreting or finishing.
4.3 Junction Box, Pull Box, and Bends – Layout and Spacing Rules:
Learn practical rules for box spacing, number of bends per run, and junction box positioning to make wire pulling easy and safe.
To ensure reliability, electrical systems must be balanced and organized.
5.1 Load Scheduling for Lighting and Power Circuits:
Understand how to prepare a load schedule showing connected loads, diversity factors, and total demand for each DB.
5.2 DB (Distribution Board) and Sub-DB Placement Strategy:
Learn how to decide where to locate DBs and sub-panels for efficient cable routing and voltage control.
5.3 Balancing of Circuits and Minimizing Voltage Drop:
Discover techniques for voltage drop calculation and circuit balancing to ensure every light and outlet performs optimally.
Clear and consistent drawings are the language of construction.
6.1 Standard Symbols for Lighting and Power Layouts:
Learn the most commonly used symbols for switches, sockets, light points, and junction boxes used in electrical drawings.
6.2 Preparation of Single Line Diagrams (SLD) and Layout Drawings:
Understand how to develop SLDs that show distribution logic and help during installation and maintenance.
6.3 Cross-Referencing Between Lighting, Power, and Switch Board Schedules:
Discover how to synchronize layout drawings with switch board schedules and load lists for easy verification.
Theory comes alive on-site. This module explains real-world implementation.
7.1 Marking, Chasing, and Sleeve Provisions in Civil Works:
Learn how to mark conduit routes on walls and slabs before concreting, ensuring all sleeves and boxes are placed correctly.
7.2 Conduit Laying, Box Fixing, and Wire Pulling Procedures:
Step-by-step explanation of how conduits are fixed, wires are drawn, and circuits are checked for continuity and insulation resistance.
7.3 On-site Quality Checks and Testing of Installed Conduits:
Learn key quality control activities — verifying conduit alignment, securing fittings, and avoiding mechanical damages.
Proper cable management ensures safety, durability, and neatness.
8.1 Vertical and Horizontal Cable Management Techniques:
Learn about riser planning, cable supports, and ladder tray management in both residential and commercial setups.
8.2 Cable Tagging, Numbering, and Color Coding Standards:
Understand the system of identifying cables for easy maintenance and fault detection.
8.3 Avoiding Cross-Interference and Ensuring Separation from HVAC/Plumbing Services:
Coordination between electrical, plumbing, and mechanical works is critical — this section teaches spacing norms and segregation methods.
Safety is non-negotiable in electrical systems.
9.1 Earthing and Bonding Requirements in Lighting Circuits:
Learn how to design earthing systems for lighting points and metallic conduits to avoid electrical shocks.
9.2 Electrical Safety Clearances and Local Code Compliance:
This part discusses clearance requirements from walls, floors, and water sources based on local building standards.
9.3 Inspection Checklists for Lighting and Cable Routing Works:
Practical on-site checklists for engineers and supervisors to ensure safety and quality compliance.
A well-documented system saves time and cost during operation and future modifications.
10.1 Periodic Inspection and Maintenance of Lighting Circuits:
Learn how to plan routine inspections for switchboards, conduits, and fixtures to prevent faults and overheating.
10.2 Updating As-Built Drawings and Route Markings:
Importance of maintaining updated electrical drawings reflecting the exact installed layout.
10.3 Troubleshooting Common Problems in Cable and Conduit Systems:
Guidance on identifying issues such as loose connections, damaged conduits, and short circuits — and how to resolve them efficiently.
In real-world projects, improper electrical planning leads to costly rework, safety hazards, and client dissatisfaction. This course bridges the knowledge gap between design intent and site execution. It teaches how to visualize the entire system — from drawing board to final installation — so that every light, switch, and conduit functions as planned.
Participants will gain:
A practical understanding of how lighting layouts are coordinated with architectural and interior plans.
The ability to read, interpret, and prepare electrical drawings and schedules.
