Lighting Guide 10: Daylighting – A Guide for Designers: Lighting for the Built Environment (SLL LG10)

This guide takes the reader through the process of designing for daylighting, addressing the issues of aesthetics and building physics that lie at the heart of the discipline of architecture. This requires architects to understand the basic aspects of the engineering of light, and engineers to have a grasp of aesthetics. The format of the guide parallels the design process, beginning with outline considerations of form and orientation and leading on to the more detailed aspects of designing the building envelope to admit or to filter natural light through different shading systems. It also deals with the multitude of different visualisation techniques that allow the design team to explore the appearance of design solutions. In addition, it provides a guide to more detailed resource material.

The document has been written primarily for use when new design work is to be undertaken. However, much of the guidance will be applicable to refurbishment projects. The guidance in this document is written primarily for buildings located within the UK, and will be most applicable to projects in northern hemisphere temperate climates. However, the principles are universal, and can be applied to other locations if the appropriate weather data is used and local standards and regulations are respected

This edition of LG10 supersedes the previous edition, CIBSE Lighting Guide LG10: Daylighting and window design, which was published in 1999, and which is now withdrawn.

NOTE:

A Corrigendum in the form of a replacement page 77 was issued in December 2014 to correct an issue with the Sunpath diagram. This has been corrected in the downloadable pdf and will be supplied to purchasers of the hard copy but can also be downloaded separately here.

Lighting Guide 7: office lighting covers all aspects of the lighting of offices, from board room through general offices to the post room. It also includes guidance on lighting for offices spaces where display screen equipment is in use.

This effectively replaces Lighting Guide 3 as the relevant guidance for office buildings. However, there are many other buildings where display screen equipment is used, that Lighting Guide 3(now out of print) provides useful guidance for such applications.

Lighting Guide 7 gives advice on the design and operation of office lighting schemes and installations for all users of office buildings and associated areas. The Guide is aimed at, and will be useful to, lighting specifiers, designers, equipment providers, contractors, users, maintainers, letting agents and developers.

Following an introduction which sets the scene in terms of legislation, standards and good practice, sections cover: the design process; the design brief and information to be provided; building types; design criteria; design options for electric lighting (including direct, indirect and combined direct/indirect lighting); and design options for daylighting. An extensive final section discusses detailed room design information for primary office spaces, secondary office spaces, circulation areas and back-of-house areas.

An appendix deals with lighting for planting, especially in atria. The volume includes an extensive glossary and a comprehensive index. This Guide makes use of several relevant international, European and British Standards and is a companion to the Code for Lighting also published by the Society. The declaration of Conformity originally published in connection with lighting Guide 3 has been updated slightly to make it suitable for use with Lighting Guide 7, and can be downloaded here.

An Addendum to LG7 has been produced (in July 2012) to reflect changes made to the European Standard for Indoor Workplaces in 2011 (BS EN 12464-1) and in accordance with the SLL Code for Lighting 2012.

For many years, the IES Code for Lighting was the de facto standard for lighting provision in the United Kingdom. However, in 2002, the Committee for European Standardisation (CEN) took on the task of providing lighting recommendations, and, since then the British Standards Institution has adopted the CEN recommendations for use in the United Kingdom. As a result, there are now a range of British Standards that specify the quantitative lighting requirements for a wide range of applications. Consequently, the role of the SLL Code for Lighting has shifted from being the only source for quantitative lighting recommendations to being a guide on how to interpret the British Standard recommendations and how to implement them in practice.

This edition of the SLL Code for Lighting takes the changes in lighting guidance a step further by a process of separation and concentration. The separation involves moving the details of vision, lighting technology and lighting applications into another publication, the SLL Lighting Handbook. The concentration occurs because this SLL Code for Lighting provides information on three fundamental matters of relevance to lighting practice. These matters are:

• A summary of what is known about the effects of lighting on task performance, behaviour, safety, perception and health as well as its financial and environmental costs.
• A compendium of all the lighting recommendations relevant to the United Kingdom with suggestions as to how these should be interpreted. This compendium covers recommendations for both interior and exterior lighting in normal conditions.
• A detailed description of all the calculations required for quantitative lighting design. While it is a fact that, today, most lighting calculations are done using software that simply implements the fundamental calculations described here, without knowledge of these calculations, it is diffi cult to assess the meaning and merit of the results produced by software.

First published in 1936, the Code for Lighting was published in printed form until 1994.  In 2002 the Code was published as a CD for the first time and the following editions in 2004, 2006 and 2009 were produced purely in CD format.  This 2012 edition reverts back to hard copy (and as a pdf), complimented by the SLL Lighting Handbook.

Learning, whether by discussion, interaction, practical application or formal lecture, requires sufficient light to enable the pupils to see the visible information presented around them. Whether in a primary school classroom or a professional lecture theatre, whether for young or old, the quality of light in the learning environment will directly affect our learning experience and indeed our motivation to learn.

Lighting Guide LG5: Lighting for education offers guidance on the lighting of all educational spaces including lecture theatres, teaching rooms, conference rooms, special-purpose rooms (such as gymnasia, art rooms and dance studios), multi-purpose rooms etc. In addition to providing guidance on the lighting equipment and its positioning, LG5 considers other important factors such as the decoration and finishes of rooms, sightlines, positioning of lighting controls and access doors, all of which need to be taken into account from the earliest stages of the planning process.

The SLL Lighting Handbook has been written to forge a link between the Society’s existing major publications; the SLL Code for Lighting (which offers recommendations on lighting for a wide range of applications) and the SLL Lighting Guides (which provide detailed guidance on specific lighting applications).

The SLL Lighting Handbook is designed to be complementary to the SLL Code for Lighting but to go beyond it in terms of applications and background information without getting into the fine detail of the Lighting Guides.

The Handbook is intended to be the first-stop for anyone seeking information on lighting. It is aimed not just at lighting practitioners but also at lighting specifiers and students of lighting. For all three groups it is comprehensive, up-to-date and easily understandable. The contents summarise the fundamentals of light and vision, the technology of lighting and guidance on a wide range of applications, both interior and exterior.

The Society of Light and Lighting has published a guide to surface reflectance and colour which enables lighting designers to assess much more accurately than hitherto the reflectances of the various surfaces in the space to be lit.

Surface reflectance is an important factor in lighting calculations, yet accurate information is rarely available. This new Guide includes specially printed and calibrated colour sample cards to enable designers to assess the reflectances of the various room surfaces quickly and accurately.

This publication will therefore be of use to a wide range of professionals including architects, interior designers, lighting consultants, contractors and facilities managers.

This publication has been produced by the Society of Light and Lighting in conjunction with the National Physical Laboratory as part of the work of the NPL Optical Radiation Measurement Club. Measurements and calibration of the sample cards were carried out by NPL.
