Buildings designed for intellectual and
physical activities world-wide are equipped
with automatic, intelligent control systems,
shown in Figure 2, that act upon the
functional installation systems to ensure the

2 Main factors that contribute to the
energy efficiency of buildings
Researches made at global level show that
the energy consumption of lighting systems
is different in the case of buildings with
different functions. Buildings designed for
intellectual and commercial activities use
up to 40-50% of the total consumed energy,
while in the case of industrial buildings the

human activities.

Permanently and constantly ensuring
the comfort required by human activity

percentage goes down to 20% (in this case,
the structures that support the industrial
process have a greater importance).
Figure 3 shows that the only way to
reduce the energy consumption of interior
lighting systems is by implementing
modern designs that are based on the
integrated use of natural light and electric
light.
