LIGHTING

In order to have a cost-effective, efficient, affordable lighting scheme you have to consider a number of factors and be willing to make changes. Site orientation is first and foremost. Next, consider the sun's daylight hours and accessibility. When you can utilize the solar potentials that are available, there will be tremendous savings realized in both installation, maintenance and monthly billings. Not only will the introduction of natural lighting cut down on electrical consumption, but personal health will also benefit from increased natural light exposure. As well, energy-efficient lights not only reduce electrical consumption, but lower cooling requirements due to heat generated from standard fixtures and bulbs.
