Overview
| Artificial
lighting represents a major part of the overall energy consumption
in non-residential buildings. However, more daylight conscious
architectural solutions and the introduction of innovative
daylighting systems and efficient lighting controls can displace a
considerable part of this electricity consumption by utilizing the
natural resources offered by daylight.
The Task was to
focus on those daylighting systems and strategies which can be
applied in new and existing buildings with a high aggregate
electricity saving potential such as offices, schools, commercial,
and institutional buildings. Systems and strategies were tested and
performance evaluated through studies in laboratory facilities, by
computer simulations, as well as in Case Study buildings. The
performance assessment covered visual, architectural and
environmental aspects, including user acceptance of the systems.
