Why Momik for Kenya?

500× Faster

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

KS 1803 Built In

Every design meets KS 1803 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.

KS 1803 Illuminance Requirements

Reference lux levels, uniformity ratios, UGR limits, and colour rendering requirements per room type under KS 1803.

Compliance & Enforcement

In Kenya, KS 1803 provides the technical framework for workplace lighting design. OSHA Kenya / Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) monitors compliance through workplace safety inspections under Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007. Commercial building permits increasingly require lighting design documentation, particularly for projects involving international financing or sustainability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In Kenya, KS 1803 is adopted as the technical standard for workplace lighting. OSHA Kenya / Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) references this standard in its enforcement of Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007. Commercial building permit requirements are increasingly requiring lighting design documentation that demonstrates compliance with the standard.

OSHA Kenya / Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) oversees workplace safety compliance, including lighting requirements, under Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007. Building control authorities require lighting design submissions for commercial and public building permits. For internationally financed or certified projects, third-party verification against KS 1803 is standard practice.

Momik reads your Revit model room by room, automatically applies KS 1803 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.
