ABSTRACT

The Code for Lighting has been revised and updated to include exterior lighting as well as interior lighting.

The book takes into account new legislation such as the 2002 revision of Part L of the Building Regulations as well as new and forthcoming International and European Standards on lighting and ergonomics. It also reflects new initiatives on energy conservation in the UK.

This book is primarily intended to provide guidance to those responsible for the design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of building services.
