Abstract
AbstractThis chapter describes the breadth of the impact that lighting has on the health, well-being, and performance of schoolchildren and staff. Good lighting design can improve health and learning as well as increase safety, reduce vandalism, lower energy use, and help students maintain visual connections with the environment. In contrast, bad lighting design contributes negatively to these issues. A holistic approach to optimal lighting includes provision of daylight and views in all classrooms and work areas, integration of daylight and electric lighting, and the addition of flexible lighting controls. Causes of lighting problems include insufficient or unbalanced light, glare, unnatural lamp characteristics, and annoying side effects. Careful planning early in the building design results in a healthy lighting system while frequent system assessment ensures consistent performance.
