> Indoor lighting / Specific lighting requirements / Lighting of health care facilities / Economic efficiency of lighting

The latest lamp technology combined with control gear and luminaires as well as using a building system management to control light based on presence detection and daylight utilisation provides lighting installations with high visual comfort and low operation costs (q.v. ;„Light and economic efficiency” and chapter „Light and the environmen”).
