CREATIVE LIGHTING
This booklet, No. 90 in the series “Building Bulletin”, Lighting
Design for Schools (81 pp, £22.95 ISBN 0-11-271041-7), guides architects
and engineers through the process of lighting design in the context of
the recommended constructional standards for schools and the various types
of spaces and activities found in schools.
It identifies the determining factors of good lighting design as architectural
integration, task and activity lighting, visual amenity, cost, maintenance,
and energy efficiency. It describes the calculation methods and design
tools that can be used at the early stages of a project and shows through
theory and examples how to achieve a synthesis between daylight and electric
lighting.
Tables of lamps and luminaires give an appreciation of the types of lighting
available, their energy efficiency, color rendering, and other characteristics.

DAYLIGHT? OK, BUT HOW DO BUILDINGS PERFORM?
Daylight design of buildings is becoming an integral part of the concept
of sustainable building. Daylight use can offset the need for artificial
lighting, save running costs, and reduce the environmental impact of energy
use in buildings.
The daylighting behavior of 60 buildings —offices, museums, libraries,
churches, houses, airports and factories of different size—has been
observed and measured during three years and the results of this study
are now published in Daylight Performance of Buildings, (304 pp, color
illustrations. £55/ $90, ISBN 1-873936-87-7) from James & James
(address below), edited by Marc Fontoynont of ENTPE, Lyon, France, and
based on the work of 23 contributing teams from 12 countries.
