The degree to which lighting satisfies the diverse illumination requirements of colleges and universities depends on the quality of lighting involved, how well it is designed, and how well it is maintained. It is unfortunate that lighting quality is often made secondary to energy consumption because the two are totally compatible if the difference between lighting energy conservation and lighting energy management is understood. Lighting energy management considers lighting interrelationships as well as illumination technology, and requires three types of knowledge: lighting systems and their components, lighting's impact on activities and safety, and an awareness of the existing lighting systems. The authors develop these concepts and present a variety of lighting options and guidelines for designing a lighting system. 16 figures, 3 tables.
