Full title and description
STB DIN V 18599-4 2018-09 — Energetische Bewertung von Gebäuden - Berechnung des Nutz-, End- und Primärenergiebedarfs für Heizung, Kühlung, Lüftung, Trinkwarmwasser und Beleuchtung - Teil 4: Nutz- und Endenergiebedarf für Beleuchtung. English title: Energy efficiency of buildings - Calculation of the net, final and primary energy demand for heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water and lighting - Part 4: Net and final energy demand for lighting.
Abstract
This document specifies a verification and calculation procedure to determine the monthly and annual net and final (electrical) energy demand for artificial lighting in non-residential buildings. The procedure covers lighting-related zoning of spaces, determination of the specific electrical evaluation power of artificial lighting systems, treatment of daylight contribution and the influence of presence/motion detector control systems on energy demand.

Scope
The standard sets out a calculation method for determining the net and final electrical energy demand for lighting in non-residential buildings on a monthly and annual basis. It defines how to subdivide buildings into lighting zones, how to assign specific evaluation power values to artificial lighting systems, and how to account for daylight availability and control strategies (for example presence detectors) when estimating energy consumption for lighting. The part is intended for use within the broader DIN 18599 framework for energy performance assessment of buildings.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of lighting zones and their allocation within building types (non-residential zoning requirements).
- Procedure to determine specific electrical evaluation power of artificial lighting systems for each zone.
- Inclusion of daylight utilization factors and rules for daylight-dependent control.
- Accounting for presence/motion detection and other control strategies that reduce operating hours and energy use.
- Monthly and annual calculation steps for net and final energy demand for lighting, and interfaces to the overall DIN 18599 energy balance.
Typical use and users
Typical users include energy assessors and auditors, building services engineers, lighting designers, architects, sustainability consultants, and facility managers who perform energy performance assessments for non-residential buildings or prepare compliance documentation. The calculation method is used in energy modelling, compliance checks, renovation planning and lifecycle energy assessments where lighting energy demand must be quantified consistently with the DIN 18599 methodology.
Related standards
This part is one element of the DIN 18599 series (other parts cover heating, cooling, ventilation, domestic hot water, solar systems, allocation rules, primary energy, etc.). DIN V 18599-4:2018-09 replaced the 2016 edition and has itself been superseded by DIN/TS 18599-4:2025-10. Users should consult other parts of DIN 18599 and the superseding DIN/TS 18599-4:2025-10 for the most current procedures and cross-references.
