“…This is a grid that has a bidirectional form of communication that's backed up with the use of digital technology. It is a resilient power framework which efficiently integrates all linked components by operating at the same frequency or acting in synchronism to improve all connections of everyone present in the power framework [63]. Bi-directional communication capabilities of the smart grid enable remote control of equipment and data collection devices.…”

The electricity situation in Nigeria has become alarming, with the population increasing over the years, the supply of electricity has failed to reach the demand. With over 223 million residents in the country, 95 million people lack an adequate supply of electricity. 91% of the supply is allocated to the urban areas while 30% at most reaches the rural economy due to constraints in the electrical grid. This has caused overdependence on other sources of generation such as diesel generators, and other means of generation. Using these other sources of generation has contributed to the nation’s carbon footprint and global warming. This paper aims to study the impact of stand-alone microgrids and how they could curb the electricity deficit in Nigeria, there is also a brief background on renewable energy as it forms the foundation of microgrids. This paper concludes that though microgrids could mitigate global warming and curb the country’s electricity deficit, factors such as security and management are preventing the successful implementation of these means.

“…Hence, the adequate light level in buildings such as the lecture theatres in universities is a critical functional requirement. More so, the epileptic power supply is the order of the day in Nigeria, as reported in the literature [2][3][4][5]. It is against this backdrop that the quest for optimisation of daylighting in the buildings is explored [6].…”

Daylighting is required to enhance visual comfort; whereas its illumination provides renewable functional interior lighting for specific programmes. Hence, this study examines the levels of daylight illumination for teaching and learning in two lecture theatres each located at the Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi (UAM) and Benue State University Makurdi (BSU) in Makurdi, Nigeria. The two buildings selected for the daylighting performance employed post-occupancy evaluation approach. A digital camera was employed to take photographs, whereas digital light meters were employed to evaluate the levels of illumination on the work plane. The results showed that 80% of the study space has inadequate indoor daylight illumination quantity and distribution as well as poor daylight ratios of 1.1and 0.9 for UAM lecture theatre and BSU lecture theatre, respectively Hence, the lighting conditions in the selected buildings fall short of the international lighting benchmarks (IESNA). Therefore, a pragmatic daylight design strategy is required to enhance daylight levels in the lecture theatres for energy-saving and visual comfort as well as onwards design and fusion in the national building code.
