Download or read book Daylighting and electric lighting retrofit solutions written by Aktuna, Berat and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy efficient lighting is said to be one of the most cost-effective approaches to save energy and reduce C02 emissions. In order to stimulate the application of lighting retrofits of good quality, IEA Task 50, Subtask B “Daylighting and Electric Lighting solutions” has looked into the assessment of existing and new technical retrofit solutions in the field of façade and daylighting technology, electric lighting and lighting controls. The document provides information for those involved in the development of retrofit products or involved in the decision making process of a retrofit project, such as buildings owners, authorities, designers and consultants, as well as the lighting and façade industry. This source book addresses both electric lighting solu¬tions and daylighting solutions, and offers a method to compare these retrofit solutions on a common basis, including a wide range of quality criteria of cost-related and lighting quality aspects. Simple retrofits, such as replacing a lamp or adding interior blinds, are widely accepted, often applied because of their low initial costs or short payback periods. The work presented in this report aims at promoting state-of-the-art and new lighting retrofit approaches that might cost more but offer a further reduction of energy consumption while improving lighting quality to a greater extend. Energieeffiziente Beleuchtung ist eine der effektivsten Möglichkeiten, Energie zu sparen und damit die Emission von CO2 zu vermindern. Im Rahmen des IEA Task 50, Subtask B “Daylighting and Electric Lighting solutions” wurden daher neue und vorhandene technische Sanierungslösungen für Gebäude in den Bereichen Fassade, Tageslichttechnik, künstliche Beleuchtung sowie Lichtsteuerung bewertet, um die Anwendung hochwertiger Lösungen voranzutreiben. Die Informationen sind dabei für alle in den Sanierungsprozess einbezogenen Personen von großem Interesse, wie z. B. Gebäudeeigentümer, Behörden, Planer und Berater aber auch für Hersteller und Entwickler von Beleuchtungs- und Fassadenlösungen. Betrachtet werden sowohl künstliche als auch Beleuchtungslösungen mit Tageslicht, wobei eine Methode entwickelt wurde, die Sanierungslösungen grundlegend miteinander zu vergleichen. Hierbei werden zahlreiche Kriterien berücksichtigt, die energetische, lichttechnische, thermische und kostenbezogene Aspekte beinhalten. Einfache Sanierungsmaßnahmen wie der Austausch von Lampen oder die Montage innenliegender Jalousien werden weitgehend akzeptiert und oft verwendet, da sie kostengünstig sind und sich schnell amortisieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Anwendung neuer und dem Stand der Technik entsprechender Beleuchtungslösungen für die Sanierung zu fördern. Diese verursachen zwar eventuell höhere Kosten, ermöglichen jedoch eine weitere Energieeinsparung bei gleichzeitiger Verbesserung der Beleuchtungsqualität.

Download or read book Visual and Non Visual Effects of Light written by Agnieszka Wolska and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of artificial lighting extends the time of wakefulness after dark and enables work at night, thus disturbing the human circadian rhythm. The understanding of the physiological mechanisms of visual and non-visual systems may be important for the development and use of proper light infrastructure and light interventions for different workplace settings, especially for shift work conditions. Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light: Working Environment and Well-Being presents the impact of lighting in the working environment on human health, well-being and visual performance. The physiological explanation of the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans which discusses the biological bases of image and non-image forming vision at the cellular level may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of medicine, physiology, and biology. It is one of the intentions of this book to put forward some recommendations and examples of lighting design which take into account both the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans. These may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of lighting, occupational safety and health, and interior design. "What effects on health can a light ‘overdose’ or light deficiency have? What is bad light? The authors of the monograph provide answers to these questions. Just as for a physicist, the dual nature of light comprises an electromagnetic wave and a photon, the duality of light for a physician comprises visual and non-visual effects." --------------------------------------------------------Prof Jacek Przybylski, Medical University of Warsaw "This is a unique publication in the field of lighting technology. The authors have skillfully combined both the technical and biomedical aspects involved, which is unprecedented in the literature available. As a result, an important study has been created for many professional groups, with a significant impact on the assessment of risks associated with LED sources." --------------------------------------------Prof Andrzej Zając, Military University of Technology, Warsaw
