Successful architectural lighting design requires professionals that have artistic vision along with solid technical aptitude.
A net-zero building consumes the same or less energy from external sources than it produces itself, using a combination of energy efficiency and renewable energy production.
Human centric lighting puts people at the center of lighting design. It considers both the visual and non-visual effects of light from a physiological and psychological perspective and extends the scope of lighting beyond the traditional architectural design approach, which focuses on aesthetics, visibility and safety.
