It provides the highest quality light withsignificant health benefits and feeling of well-being. It also reduces lighting loadand operation costs.Some of the measures include- When using day lighting, care should be taken not to introduce too much solarheat gain into the space.- Sun-shading devices should be provided to minimise heat gain and also toexclude undesired glare. The choice of glaze is also critical in ensuring goodday lighting.- When incorporating day lighting, it is important to design a system that minimisescontrast ratios and integrate natural and electric lighting. Lighting design shouldnot only consider energy consumption but occupant satisfaction and productivity.- To have good quality lighting, daylight sensors should be located in a mannersuch that the portion of the lighting zone being controlled experiences fairlyuniform illumination levels.As part of her service, Hunter Douglas Singapore provides a unique computer aideddesign and drawing system to help architects and designers transform vision intoreality in a short period of time.Multi-Panel Installation8
