AIMS OF GOOD LIGHTING
To promote work and other activities carried out
within the building.

To promote the safety of the people using the

being for the occupants.
 TYPES OF LIGHTING
NATURAL LIGHTING
The primary source of lighting for day lighting is the
sun.

The light received by the earth from the sun consist of

two parts, namely , direct solar illuminance and sky
illuminance .

For the purpose of day lighting design ,direct solar

illuminance shall not be considered and only sky
illuminance shall be taken as contributing to
illuminance of the building interiors during the day.
DIRECT SOLAR V.S.
SKY ILLUMINANCE
DAY LIGHT FACTOR
Day light factor is the sum of all the daylight
reaching on an indoor reference point from the
following sources;
 The direct sky visible from the point
 External surface reflecting light directly
 Internal surface reflecting light to the point

Where the recommended luminance levels
have to be obtained artificial lighting only.

To supplement day lighting when the level of

illumination falls below the recommended
value.

Where visual task may demand a higher level

of illumination.
