“…In addition, daylighting, which contributes positively to the reduction of electrical energy consumption, has also been the subject of numerous studies on energy efficient and effective design [10,11,12]. The literature includes studies that address energyefficient lighting systems [13] and sustainable lighting designs for educational buildings [14]. Studies on luminaires, which are the direct subject of the study, are also common in the literature.…”

The fact that lighting plays an important role in the energy consumed by buildings, which have a large share in the total energy consumption in the world, requires more work to be done on daylight, which reduces the need for artificial lighting, saves energy in buildings and increases indoor comfort as well. Whether the current energy resources will exist in the future and the extent of the damage to the ecosystem as a result of the deterioration of the natural balance are discussed and discussed from different perspectives. At this point, with the thought of efficient use of energy, studies are carried out to reduce energy consumption and ensure sustainability in the field of lighting. In the building sector, which has a significant share in energy consumption, energy efficient design and sustainable architecture, which aims to use renewable energy sources and reduce energy consumption, are supported by planning and design criteria. In this study, the efficiency of skylights, which is one of the lighting methods with daylight, was investigated in accordance with the criteria specified in the relevant zoning legislation and the daylight standard in buildings. The effect of skylights on visual comfort and daylight performance in residential interiors that do not receive direct sunlight was analyzed with 3 different scenarios on spaces in different directions and floors with the help of the Design Builder simulation program. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the size of the spaces illuminated by the skylight, the length of the facade where the skylight is located, the floor where the space is located and its direction significantly affect the level of illumination. In line with the findings obtained in the study, it has been observed that the minimum skylight values given in the Planned Areas Zoning Regulation in force today do not provide sufficient daylight illumination, especially in the spaces on the ground floor. For this reason, solutions have been proposed to reach the level of visual comfort in spaces.

“…Because one of the basic principles that ensures the use of lightning in the areas in order to make them healthy and comfortable by applying enough light and lighting. Good and quality lighting can be defined as being able to see all the details required by the quality standards in both indoor environment quality and human health and in the work done is important in terms of time and energy saving and efficiency [1]. Appropriate design of lighting in educational buildings and sufficient and homogeneous distribution of light in the space are of great importance in terms of student performance.…”

Integrated lighting design is significant in terms of support energy performance and users visual comfort without expensive energy cost and comfortable environment in buildings illuminated by daylight. This study examines the illuminance levels of two chosen classrooms in the Department of Architecture at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University. Both classrooms were oriented in north direction, and one of them is one storey above of the other one. The purpose of the study is to determine the lighting performance of classrooms with or without the utilization of artificial lighting. Illuminance levels were measured at certain points by a luxmeter at three different times of the day for five weeks duration. After, average illuminance levels were determined for both classrooms and these illuminance levels were evaluated based on lighting standards. Chosen classrooms were examined regarding their illuminance levels. Measurement results show that the illuminance values in D205 classroom on the first floor was slightly higher than the D105 classroom on the ground floor. Based on the measurements, it was realized that the highest illuminance values were generally at midday (1386 lux at D205) and the lowest illuminance values were in the morning (64 lux at D105). The study will contribute to the formation of a preliminary idea about the lighting performances in the classrooms of architects and architecture students.
