“…Sadly, up to now, independent research has not been able to keep up with the rapid developments in this technology sufficiently. As a result, very little guidance is available for the purchaser when selecting LED equipment [18]. Boyce [12] challenged the lighting community to address this and suggested that a valuable contribution would be a set of standard, simple questions to ask the LED supplier.…”

“…Simply following them will not produce good quality lighting. Boyce [12] explores methods which may bridge the gap between indifferent and good quality lighting such as proposals by Cuttle [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and proposes that if none of these are accepted and adopted in the future, then good quality lighting will only be available to those who can afford the services of a creative, experienced and talented lighting designer.…”

Lighting Design in Europe: Aligning the Demands for Lower Energy Usage with Better Quality

Lighting design is one of the fastest changing areas in building engineering. It has evolved significantly in recent years due to changing technology and demands for improved quality, better control, reduced energy and sustainability. This paper is an overview of what is happening in Europe and elsewhere and examines the literature to find that latest recommendations in the Code for Lighting issued by the SLL (Society of Light and Lighting) in the UK change previous demands for equal illuminance across a working plane to more specific and demanding criteria. There are recommendations for qualitative metrics and better distribution of light so as to enhance the visual appearance of interiors. European standards are also examined and the LENI (lighting energy numerical indicator) has been found to be a better way of reducing energy than installed load. New LED (light-emitting diode) lamp technology is examined and daylight is discussed in the context of these changing demands. It is found that lighting standards and design are changing for the better but that standards will need to evolve further if they are to ensure good quality lighting.

“…These would typically include light directionality, its spectral distribution and access to a direct view. Some authors [50][51][52] also argue that since light "affects the appearance of three-dimensional objects" [51], the potential of lighting to produce shadows and Table 3 Main parameters to characterize glare and the respective recommended ranges for visual comfort.…”

a b s t r a c tThis work reviews existing models of control patterns for occupant-shading interactions in office buildings, and studies their influence in terms of energy demand when comparing transparent faç ade alternatives. It starts by establishing a review of visual comfort criteria in office buildings and of the conditions that prompt occupants to interact with shading devices and electric lighting. Given the large variety of parameters identified as primary variables in the existing literature -hence the variety of conditions considered comfortable depending on the chosen reference -a sensitivity study was carried out based on dynamic simulations. The aim of the study was to characterize the impact of choosing a given shading control model (pattern or strategy) on the calculated overall energy demand for heating, cooling and lighting, as well as the impact on choosing the best-performing transparent faç ade option for a single-occupant office. The results show that both the calculated energy performance and the ranking of transparent faç ade alternatives (glazing and shading) often vary very significantly with control patterns considered for the occupant-shading interaction. They further show that, amongst the eleven control strategies that were considered, the behavioral model based on a glare acceptability threshold (expressed as DGI > 20) is the one that, when considered individually, would most reliably express an average ranking from all considered strategies. The implications of these findings are discussed in view of their applicability to energy performance-based faç ade design choices evaluation as well as to faç ade design choices.

“…Figure 4 illustrates the views from the users' positions to the windows: mainly on the NNE facade the windows are very bright and users avoid sitting facing them; so, only people sitting in the positions at the rear in layouts for two people have one of the views directly to them.

“…The metrics used are again illuminance dependents. The first one is the relation between the vector (direct light) illuminance and scalar (diffuse light) illuminance (E v /E s ), which is analyzed together with the vertical angle of incidence of E v () (CUTTLE, 2008). Another one is the relation between the cylindrical illuminance (which focuses horizontally on the face of a cylinder) and the horizontal illuminance (which falls on a horizontal plan) (E cyl /E h ) from NBN EN 12464-1:2011(EUROPEAN…, 2011.…”

Lighting preferences in individual offices

Abstractorkplaces with good daylighting offer visual comfort to users, give them a series of physiological and psychological benefits and allow good performance of visual activities, besides saving energy. However, this solution is not always adopted: lighting type preferences involve many variables besides the availability of daylight. This paper explores a case study through the analysis of questionnaire answers and computer simulations of a series of metrics related to quality of lighting with the aim of finding explanations for the lighting preferences of individual office users. The results show that, although the offices present good daylighting conditions and no glare potential, and users are satisfied with daylighting, these parameters are not sufficient to explain the predominant lighting preferences. The findings have also shown that there is no consensus about which parameters potentially cause visual comfort, while the parameters that cause discomfort are clearly identified. In addition, in this study, 49% of the preference for mixed lighting (daylight plus electrical light) can be explained by the fact that mixed lighting produces better modeling than daylighting alone.
