Abstract
This chapter is a comprehensive exploration of the various artificial and natural lighting sources employed to create functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable interior spaces. This chapter elucidates the characteristics and applications of artificial and natural lighting sources, shedding light on their roles in interior design.
In Sect. 5.1, the focus is on several artificial light sources, including halogen bulbs (Sect. 5.1.1), fluorescent tubes (Sect. 5.1.2), compact fluorescent bulbs (Sect. 5.1.3), and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (Sect. 5.1.4). Readers will gain a profound understanding of the unique features and benefits of each lighting source, equipping them with the knowledge needed to make informed lighting choices. Section 5.2, explores how artificial lighting sources are effectively integrated into interior design. This section distinguishes between general lighting (Sect. 5.2.1), task lighting (Sect. 5.2.2), accent lighting (Sect. 5.2.3), and decorative lighting (Sect. 5.2.4), highlighting the specific roles these sources play in enhancing the functionality and ambiance of interior spaces. Natural lighting sources are the focus of Sect. 5.3, which includes direct sunlight (Sect. 5.3.1), diffuse skylight (Sect. 5.3.2), reflected light (Sect. 5.3.3), and daylighting systems (Sect. 5.3.4). These sources are examined in terms of their unique qualities and contributions to interior design, emphasizing the importance of harnessing natural light effectively. In Sect. 5.4, readers will discover strategies for maximizing daylight (Sect. 5.4.1) to reduce energy consumption, daylight harvesting (Sect. 5.4.2) to optimize natural light usage, biophilic design (Sect. 5.4.3) to create connections with nature, and solar shading (Sect. 5.4.4) to manage and control incoming sunlight.
This chapter equips readers with the knowledge and insight required to make informed decisions about lighting sources for interior design, providing a solid foundation for creating well-illuminated and harmonious spaces.
