INTRODUCTION • Architectural lighting plays a vital role in educational buildings, enhancing the overall environment for students to learn and grow. Proper illumination not only facilitates the ease of reading and writing, but also helps in increasing productivity and reducing eye strain SPECIAL FEATURES REQUIRED FOR EDUCATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING 1.UNIFORMIT The lighting should be uniform throughout the room, with no dark or bright spots, 2.FLEXIBILITY The lighting system should be flexible enough to cater to various activities and tasks, such as classroom instruction, group work, and presentations 3.ENERGY EFFICI the lighting design should aim to reduce energy Consumption through the use of energy-efficient lighting fixtures and controls 4.DAYLIGHT INTEGF Natural light is an essential elemnent in educational buildings. The lighting design should integrate daylight into the building design to reduce the need for artificial lighting and provide a more comfortable and visually stimulating environment. THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF ILLUMINATION REOUIRED FOR EDUCATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING CONCEPTS IN ABOVE BUILDINGS VARIES DEPENDING ON THETYPE OF ACTIVITY THAT TAKES PLACE IN EACH AREA 1.CLASSROOMS The illumination level in classrooms should range between 300 and 500lux. This level provides enough illumination for reading, writing, and other classroom activities. 2.ILABORATORIE Laboratories require higher illumination levels than classrOoms. The illumination level should range between 500 and 750 lux to ensure visual clarity and accuracy 3.LIBRARIES Libraries require lower illumination levels than classrooms and laboratories. The illumination level should range between 100 and 300 lux toprovide a comfortable and relaxing environment for reading and studying 4.AUDITORIUMS AND ASSEMBLY HALLS . Auditoriums and assembly halls require illumination levels ranging from 100-300 lux. This level of illumination is sufficient for presentations and performances. THANKYOU
