Continuing Golnoor's educational and responsibility-driven approach in the country's lighting industry, the training seminar “Introduction to the Foundations of Lighting Engineering and the Development and Application of Lighting in the Building Sector” was held in collaboration with the Golestan Province Building Engineering Organization, Golnoor, and the company's official representative in Gorgan. This program is part of a series of events that Golnoor pursues with the aim of enhancing engineers' technical knowledge, promoting credible standards, and institutionalizing a scientific approach to lighting.
The seminar, attended by a gathering of engineers, designers, and professionals in the building and lighting sectors, created a space to review the latest concepts in lighting engineering and examine national and international standards—a set of topics that Golnoor has pursued for years as one of the core pillars of its specialized activities nationwide.
Industry and the Engineering Community Working Side by Side
At the opening of the program, Dr. Karimi, head of the provincial Engineering Organization, emphasized the importance of continuous education, knowledge updating, and constructive interaction between industry and the engineering community—a perspective that aligns precisely with Golnoor's approach across four decades of the company's activity.
Engineer Majid Hosseini also highlighted the role of standardization in the success of building and urban projects—a subject that today lies at the heart of Golnoor's engineering and manufacturing activities.
Presentations by Golnoor Experts: From Engineering Foundations to Interactive Lighting
In the technical segment of the program, two Golnoor experts—Mina Kazemi (Head of Design and Lighting) and Manouchehr Fatehi (Head of Sales Engineering)—delivered scientific and applied presentations covering the following topics:
-
Foundations of lighting engineering and calculation principles
-
Human-centric lighting and the role of light in health and well-being
-
Credible national and international standards
-
Best practices and pitfalls in urban and architectural lighting
-
New approaches in interactive lighting
These presentations were warmly received by participants due to their fully practical approach and relevance to the real challenges faced by architects and designers.
Introducing the Golnoor Lighting Handbook: A Resource for the Engineering Community
At this seminar, the Golnoor Lighting Handbook—one of the most authoritative specialized resources in this field—was introduced and met with considerable enthusiasm from attendees. This response demonstrates that the country's engineering community needs credible scientific resources and standard tools more than ever—a role that Golnoor has undertaken for years.
Golnoor: Beyond a Manufacturer, an Educational Institution and Knowledge Developer
As the largest player in the lighting industry in Iran and the region, Golnoor considers education and knowledge transfer an inseparable part of its mission. The same approach that previously made the company the largest private investor in national lighting optimization projects is also evident in the field of education:
a combination of professional responsibility, practical experience, and commitment to developing correct standards.
The head of Golnoor's Sales Engineering unit also stated:
“Specialized training and promoting correct lighting standards are not merely our professional duty; they are a social responsibility. The quality of light is directly tied to the quality of life and health of citizens.”
Another Step Toward Developing National Lighting Standards
The Gorgan seminar is an example of synergy between industry and the engineering community;
an event that demonstrates Golnoor remains at the forefront of scientific development, raising design quality, and institutionalizing a scientific approach to lighting.
This is a path Golnoor has led for years:
from investing in national lighting optimization projects to specialized training for the engineering community—
and today, these two paths are more closely aligned than ever.
