Introduction

It is known that people need to shine in their daily lives to complete the tasks at work, at home or in their places of comfort. These lights, which are used to complete such tasks, are either natural (solar) or industrial (electricity) lighting with an electrical source. The following elements must be available in order to be considered energy efficient:

1. Valid lighting standards.

2. Proper lighting plan and duly executed and controlled by a suitable system consisting of bulbs, electric transformer, lighting intensity and control panels.

Objective of the session

Participants will be able to:

Coverage of special considerations and requirements for energy efficient lighting solutions in buildings.

The things to consider in energy efficiency to achieve design goals are:

• Select the light intensity and color indicator to do the tasks according to lighting specifications.

• Consider the amount of natural light (sun) that can be used to reduce operational costs.

• Choose the preferred type of lighting systems.

• Choose the best types of control to ensure the best efficiency for users.

• Choice of lamps, transformers, type of high efficiency lighting, and the appropriate method of control and design.

• Calculate energy density and ensure that it is within the recommended standard.
