Project description
The purpose of this project was to design an evaluation model for public lighting which was readable for non-technical municipality workers. This would serve as a base for HetLuxLab's desire to improve lighting across different cities and illustrate clearly their performance.
Context
Het Lux Lab is a design and research studio specialized in lighting design, evaluation, and innovation. The company, led by Ellen de Vries (Lighting Designer), focuses on exploring the impact of lighting on people, nature, and urban spaces. Their services include master planning, lighting evaluation models, and research projects that combine design, technology, and sustainability. In collaboration with Fontys University of Applied Sciences (Minor Data Science 2025–2026), HetLuxLab initiated a project to develop a Public Lighting Evaluation Model. The aim of this tool is to help municipalities assess the quality and impact of their public lighting systems in terms of nature, efficiency, health, safety, aesthetics, and compliance with standards.
Results
We developed a Python application, in which datasets could be uploaded, filtered and then presented in PowerBI, into a dashboard made so that it could be readable for non-technical users.
