500× Faster

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

SN EN 12464-1 Built In

Every design meets SN EN 12464-1 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.

SN EN 12464-1 Illuminance Requirements

Reference lux levels, uniformity ratios, UGR limits, and colour rendering requirements per room type under SN EN 12464-1.

Compliance & Enforcement

In Switzerland, SN EN 12464-1 is incorporated into national workplace safety legislation through Arbeitsgesetz (ArG) / ArGV3. SECO / Cantonal Labour Inspectorates is responsible for overseeing compliance through workplace and building inspections. For commercial, industrial, and public buildings, lighting design documentation demonstrating conformity with SN EN 12464-1 must be submitted as part of the building permit application. Non-compliance can result in improvement notices and, in serious cases, suspension of occupancy permits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In Switzerland, SN EN 12464-1 is referenced in Arbeitsgesetz (ArG) / ArGV3 as the applicable technical standard for workplace lighting. All commercial, industrial, and public buildings must comply. Building inspectors from SECO / Cantonal Labour Inspectorates verify compliance during construction reviews and occupancy inspections. Failure to meet requirements can result in improvement notices or suspension of the building use permit.

Buildings that fail to meet SN EN 12464-1 illuminance requirements can receive enforcement notices from SECO / Cantonal Labour Inspectorates. Persistent non-compliance may result in fines, revocation of occupancy permits, or mandatory retrofitting. Beyond regulatory consequences, inadequate lighting increases occupational health risks — including reduced productivity, eye strain, and accident risk — creating liability exposure for employers.

Momik reads your Revit model room by room, automatically applies SN EN 12464-1 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.
