Dialux 3.14 -

Fast deployment of rectangular and L-shaped rooms, windows, doors, and basic furniture blocks.

Do you need to comply with (like LEED or regional energy standards)? Dialux 3.14

Manual entry for ceiling, wall, and floor reflectance to calculate utilization factors accurately. Fast deployment of rectangular and L-shaped rooms, windows,

remains one of the most historically significant, lightweight milestones in the evolution of professional architectural lighting design software. Developed by the German Institute for Applied Lighting Technology ( DIAL ), this classic version laid the foundational calculations for photometric data verification long before modern, resource-heavy BIM pipelines emerged. Even as the industry standard transitions into DIALux evo 14, academic institutions, heritage hardware environments, and light calculation purists still reference DIALux 3.14 for fast, raw quantitative illuminance data processing.

The software uses a rigid point-by-point calculation grid. Designers define the height of the working plane (typically 0.75m for offices) and specify the density of the measurement points to ensure compliance with uniformity requirements. Step-by-Step Workflow in Dialux 3.14

Calculated inter-reflections between walls, ceilings, and floors based on user-defined reflection factors (e.g., 70% ceiling, 50% walls, 20% floor).

DIALux 3.14 is a legacy version of the widely recognized professional lighting design software. While the industry has largely shifted to DIALux evo
