Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In New Zealand, AS/NZS 1680 is adopted as the national standard for workplace illumination. WorkSafe New Zealand oversees compliance under AS/NZS 1680 Interior Lighting. 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 AS/NZS 1680 requirements can receive improvement notices from WorkSafe New Zealand. 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 AS/NZS 1680 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.
