Facts
The use of daylight in and around buildings is primarily necessary to maintain and support the health and well-being of the users. Electric lighting should be designed to support the aforementioned health aspects and be relevant to the spatial and aesthetic qualities of the architecture. The overall design must be holistically energy-efficient and sustainable, and be accepted by the users of the spaces.
Perspectives
An energy-efficient and sustainable scheme is enabled by optimizing the daylight design and supplementing it by means of additive, adjustable and flexible electric lighting concepts. In the interest of the human-oriented and sustainable design of light and lighting, daylight systems and electric lighting schemes need to be seen as complementing one another rather than as competitors. Immediate exterior spaces must be included in the design.
Points for discussion
Shaping the future of light and lighting, and thus also being directly involved in the architectural design process, involves addressing a wide range of issues. It means raising questions as to energy efficiency, providing counter solutions, being aware of health benefits and hazards, working in an ethical manner, and systematically reviewing cost-efficiency and sustainability issues. This is all the more important today, since we are already faced with using new technologies for generating and applying light.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
