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

IS 3646 Built In

Every design meets IS 3646 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.

IS 3646 Illuminance Requirements

Reference lux levels, uniformity ratios, UGR limits, and colour rendering requirements per room type under IS 3646.

Room / Task Type Illuminance (Em) Uniformity (Uo) Glare (UGR) Colour (Ra)

Compliance & Enforcement

In India, IS 3646 sets the national standard for workplace and building illumination. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) / NBC oversees technical compliance under National Building Code of India 2016 / SP 41. Building permit applications for commercial and industrial projects require lighting design calculations. Periodic workplace inspections verify ongoing compliance with minimum illuminance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In India, IS 3646 is adopted as the national standard for workplace illumination. Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) / NBC oversees compliance under National Building Code of India 2016 / SP 41. Building permits for commercial and industrial developments require lighting calculations demonstrating conformity. Workplace safety inspections include verification of minimum illuminance levels.

Buildings that fail to meet IS 3646 requirements can receive improvement notices from Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) / NBC. In severe cases, occupancy permits may be revoked until lighting is retrofitted to meet minimum levels. Employers also face occupational health liability if inadequate lighting contributes to worker injuries or health issues.

Momik reads your Revit model room by room, automatically applies IS 3646 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.
