Abstract

BB90 guides architects and engineers through the process of lighting design in the context of the recommended construction standards for schools and the various types of spaces and activities found in schools. It identifies the determining factors of good lighting design as architectural integration, task and activity lighting, visual amenity, cost, maintenance and energy efficiency. It describes the calculation methods and design tools that can be used at the early stages of a project and shows through theory and examples how to achieve synthesis between daylight and electric lighting. Tables of lamps and luminaires give an appreciation of the types of lighting available, their energy efficiency, colour rendering and other characteristics.
