Lighting is an important component of your whole-building
design. This Web site provides information on available lighting
technologies—as well as those that are emerging—to help
you select the best lighting products for your building.
Lighting technologies include:
- Lamps— lighting sources, like fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs
- Ballasts— used with electric-discharge lamps such as fluorescent lamps, ballasts transform and control electrical power to the light
- Luminaires (Fixtures)— complete lighting units that contain the bulbs and, if necessary, the ballasts
- Lighting Controls— devices such as timers and sensors that can save energy by turning lights off when not needed
- Daylighting— the use of natural light in a building.
