Abstract
As we move steadily into the new century, it seems abundantly
clear that the major issue confronting building designers, developers,
owners and occupiers is energy efficiency. Although efficient energy
usage has been a recurring theme throughout the past two decades, we are
now approaching the subject with greater rationale and maturity than
perhaps we tended to in the past. Energy management must stand on its
own, rather than appeal to the investors' sense of society; thus
measures to improve energy efficiency must offer investors competitive
returns on investment (ROI). Although energy conservation can take many
forms, the efficient use of lighting in particular will save the
community many millions of Dollars in electricity charges and reduced
generating plant requirements, as well as many millions of tons of coal
and CO2 emission annually. All this is achievable without any
requirement to work below current illuminance standards-simply to
utilise available daylight, compensate for over-design, compensate for
lamp lumen depreciation and due to that save on air-conditioning costs
