Why Momik for Brazil?

500× Faster

What takes weeks manually, Momik does in minutes. Fully automated lighting layout in Revit.

NBR ISO 8995-1 Built In

Every design meets NBR ISO 8995-1 requirements automatically. No manual norm-checking needed.

Native Revit

Works directly inside Autodesk Revit. No exports, no external tools, no workflow disruption.

Zero Clashes

AI-powered clash detection ensures every fixture placement is structurally valid from the start.

NBR ISO 8995-1 Illuminance Requirements

Reference lux levels, uniformity ratios, UGR limits, and colour rendering requirements per room type under NBR ISO 8995-1.

Room / Task Type Illuminance (Em) Uniformity (Uo) Glare (UGR) Colour (Ra)
Open-plan office500 lx≥ 0.60≤ 19≥ 80
Meeting / conference room500 lx≥ 0.60≤ 19≥ 80
Reception / lobby300 lx≥ 0.40≤ 22≥ 80
Corridor / circulation100 lx≥ 0.40≤ 28≥ 40

Compliance & Enforcement

In Brazil, NBR ISO 8995-1 establishes the technical standard for workplace lighting design. Compliance is enforced by Ministry of Labour (MTE) / ABNT under ABNT NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1:2013. Commercial and industrial projects must include lighting calculations in building permit documentation. Inspectors verify that illuminance levels meet minimum requirements during occupancy inspections. Non-compliance can expose building owners and employers to regulatory penalties and occupational health liability.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Brazil, NBR ISO 8995-1 is referenced by Ministry of Labour (MTE) / ABNT as the applicable technical standard under ABNT NBR ISO/CIE 8995-1:2013. Compliance is de facto required for commercial and industrial building permit approval. Non-compliance with referenced standards creates liability exposure under occupational health and safety law.

Buildings that fail to meet minimum illuminance levels can receive corrective action notices from Ministry of Labour (MTE) / ABNT. In regulated sectors — healthcare, education, industrial — inspectors have authority to halt operations until deficiencies are corrected. Beyond regulatory risk, poor lighting increases worker injury rates and associated liability costs.

Momik reads your Revit model room by room, automatically applies NBR ISO 8995-1 illuminance targets for each space type, calculates the correct fixture placement, quantity, and layout, and generates a fully compliant lighting design — entirely within Revit. No manual lux calculations, no spreadsheets, no cross-referencing the norm tables. Typical projects are completed in under five minutes.
