Inhaltsangabe

Lighting is the most effective creator of ambience in the interior. Since lighting was introduced into homes, it has played the most important role in our daily life. Lighting has become an integral part of interior design. It enriches our spaces and affects our visual and psychological experience-even our working efficiency. Moreover, lighting can change our perception of a space. Appropriate lighting design can personalize your space and establish a charm of your own. In this book, lighting design is approached from three perspectives: lighting of interior spaces, lighting as interior decoration, and lighting as interior atmosphere. With an abundance of pictures and detailed introductions, you can see the role that lighting plays in interior design and the effects it can bring. The book will be an inspiring reference for interior designers and other readers alike.

As public construction continues to benefit throughout 2010 and 2011 from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, green-building practices are more important now than ever before. By 2013 McGraw-Hill Construction predicts that the green-building market will grow to 25 percent of the value of all new construction starts, or about $140 billion.

In the professional discipline of lighting, this is creating extraordinary opportunities to design lighting solutions that provide effective lighting output with optimal visual comfort, attract interest, and reveal form and architecture indoor and outdoor. It is also creating extraordinary risks, as designers are pressured to emphasise LEED points over the quality of lighting performance and efficiency metrics over people's needs. This is not to say that lighting should not be efficient : lighting should be very efficient; but the metrics of efficiency tell only part of the story of what lighting does. Overemphasising these metrics can still result in unintended offensive glare or gloomy spaces...
