What is Alya?
Alya is an AI lighting design platform that helps architects, interior designers and lighting consultants generate BOQs, select fixtures, check IES and CIBSE compliance and manage the full lighting workflow from one platform.
Can Alya generate a lighting BOQ from a floor plan?
Yes. Upload a DWG, PDF or image floor plan and Alya generates a complete lighting BOQ with fixture types, quantities, drivers and accessories - without manual spreadsheet entry.
Is Alya's IES file generator free?
Yes. Alya's online IES file generator is free to use. It creates LM-63 compliant photometric files compatible with DIALux, AGi32, Revit and all major lighting simulation software.
What lighting standards does Alya check compliance against?
Alya checks lighting designs against IES (IESNA LM-63), CIBSE, EN 12464-1 and DIN standards. Lux levels, UGR and CRI are verified automatically with every design.
Is Alya a replacement for DIALux?
No. DIALux is a photometric simulation tool. Alya is a connected workflow platform that generates BOQs from floor plans, selects fixtures and checks compliance. Alya's IES files are compatible with DIALux.
