Lighting Concept

This chapter divides the topic into two major groupsLighting concept: artificial which looks at typical lighting installations and natural, which looks at how daylight enters our buildings. Artificial light can be controlled by on/off switches but also at source in terms of the colour and light intensity. Natural light cannot be controlled at source but there are various ways of adjusting the amount of daylight entering the building. Location and orientation of the building are fundamentally important to the designer for these adjustments to be designed.
