Energy efficient lighting systems in service and commercial buildings
This project aims to promote the use of energy efficient lighting in service and commercial buildings. Today's design practises will be analysed and barriers will be studied which make it difficult for this new technology to be adopted by the building sector. Field studies and analyses will be used to demonstrate promising lighting solutions with a high degree of daylight utilisation. Moreover documentation and guidelines are to be prepared aimed at designers, decision-makers and authorities. This material will provide examples of how it is feasible to design energy efficient lighting systems that satisfy the users' requirements to lighting and quality when using new technology, flexible lighting systems and daylight responsive control.
